Just cut the two lines and it will fit , that's how i did it.

Thanks for answer!
Which two lines? Middle two?

Yea , two middle ones remove them make the connector flat

he means: file off / cut off the two plastic pieces that stick out a bit

Blissz i have a d3 with a board that show xxxxxx error with your fw, with last bitmain fw show 54 asic# instead 60# and work (with a bit lower hashrate compared to other chains)

Why?

Why?

I think it is sensitive to a certain voltage setting. Try to increase the voltage of that specific chain if you run it on a quite low voltage

Blissz I just upgraded my 6 rigs to your new release.   With 12/2 version I went 2 days with absolutely NO HW Errors..   All the sudden all rigs had tons of HW.   Assuming now that new release needs more power for some reason.  I'm going back to 12/2.

Hey guys,

Apologies since I'm late to the game here but hoping someone can help me out. I have a D3 (19.3G) that has been buggy to say the least over the last week.

Question here would be if anyone think the firmware here may help me and what setting may be recommended as a starting point.

Symptoms...
It started with lots of HW errors then turned into 3rd board not showing all the chips (55/60). Thousands of errors happening in a very short timeframe. Sometimes over night that board will go to X's. Reboot used to fix it but then started showing less chips.

What I tried
Latest firmware from Bitmain
Not powering the 3rd board. This worked fine for a few hours then sometime over night the 2nd board went to all X's. Reboot this morning and now the 2nd board is experiencing the same issues I had with the 3rd board showing 55/60 chips.

It ran fine for a couple of weeks but now I've got nothing but headache with it and at $6-$7/day profits I'm really frustrated having paid $1600 for it and made less than $150 so far.

This is the PSU I'm using since I bought this from a guy who claimed it was new off of craigslist. I had to buy my own PSU and this is what he suggested. I have been running the the 1200W on boards 2-3 and the 750W on board 1 and the control board. Both units run well under the max of 1950W between the 2. I power on the 1200W first then the 750W.

Like I said, I'm new so please go easy on me. My concerns are raised because I don't know if it's something "I'm" doing to this or it's just the nature of the D3. Not to mention I have since ordered (from Bitmain) 3 new S9 ASICs. One for end of December and 2 for end of January. 6 month warranty and due to make a good amount but I'm concerned I'll have issues like with the D3. ebay is fetching a good price though so my plan was to unbox 1 S9, run it and if problems I could always dump the other 2 on ebay.

Many thanks to all for your efforts and I appreciate your time.

Curious if you could tell or show what settings you're using?

Need some assistance/advice with my brand new Antminer D3.

I'm not trying to waste anyone's time so I'm going to try and be as detailed as possible so people can diagnose the problems I have.


Alright, the first day I get the miner. Runs for about 3-4 hours. Has red "fault light flash"--> check and see every chip has a red "x" restart and the entire board 3 just no longer showed up on the page.

I went and upgraded firmware and now all three are back up but the third only shows "54" chips while the rest show 60. I am unsure why this is.

It's been going well on Antpool now for about 24 hours but I've noticed it's got millions... MILLIONS of hardware errors. I am unsure how to fix this or what it means.



Here's my situation: Miner is a room with ac + window open. (80F- 60F at night). The power supply is the APW3++ from Bitmain. I'm in USA so I believe it's 120 volts if that matters.

Everything else seems to be set to default. You can see my recent miner status here: It seems to have improved hash rate for the time being?



https://imgur.com/oqT12Hf


Plus on a side note, it randomly hits 0.00 hash or something on antpool charts: https://imgur.com/a/d54aG


Anyways, should I try to use my warranty to get it fixed? What are the benefits of using this "firmware" and how is it possible that it would be quieter faster hashing, and less power? Can't Bitmain just update theirs? I'm very new to this and would love to learn so all advice is greatly appreciated.

When have installed on 120V you get only 1000-1100W out of a Bitmain PSU.
The HW Errors is a fault from Bitmain, they put the frequency so high only to label the miner with 19.3GH, try in the settings to reduce the frequency to 506. this was my magic number on the last 2 D3 i get from Bitmain.

Blissz, change the Firmware you can setup for all 3 hashboards independent the Power and frequency, how you see in your pic the last hashboard is hotter, lot HW-Errors.
With this Firmware you can tweak your D3 to get the best out of all 3 Hashboards

Thank you for that understanding, but my question is what exactly does it mean to get "hardware errors" it just means it's too hot? Hasn't even hit over 70C yet on a board? Plus, If I reduce the "frequency" what exactly does that do to my hash speed? Would it result in a reduced speed or no? what're the benefits?

I have the same problem :

https://www.dropbox.com/s/tstpxhj3jm4kpg8/Chips%20problem.jpg?dl=0

Many HW and lost 6 chips in few hours...

I contacted bitmain support's I' m waitting their respons

But sometime I recover one chip and the second chain disappear ...

https://www.dropbox.com/s/ng8w9cy86xlxe5c/55%20chips.jpg?dl=0

keep me updated. Thanks

Bitmain's response :
 
Dear ...,

Please try reloading the firmware:

https://shop.bitmain.com/support.htm?pid=00720170915192851224mJ36J1ap066E

Run the miner for 20 minutes after loading.

If it still does not work please test each hash board separately to determine which one is defective.

To test each hash board separately: keep the PSU connectors and controller cable on one of the hash boards connected and disconnect the cables from the other two hash boards. With the miner running you can see the status of the connected hash board.

Here is more detail: http://support.bitmain.com/hc/en-us/articles/226142788-Testing-hash-board-one-by-one

On the miner status screen defective chips are displayed as "xxx", "---" or " ASIC≠72

Once you know which part is defective please create a Repair ticket and ship the part back to us according to these instructions: https://shop.bitmain.com/workOrderGuide.htm

http://support.bitmain.com/hc/en-us/articles/222648028-How-to-disassemble-miners

Please pack the hash boards carefully. If the PINs are lost due to shipping damage it will void the warranty. Here is a video demonstrating how to pack the boards: https://youtu.be/Z0LdykALhxI

Please let us know if you have additional questions or concerns.

Best regards,
Barbara
Bitmain

I have the same problem and I have followed the instruction they gave but still the same problem
may you tell me what did you do

I've now had this exact same scenario happen with 5 of my D3's. I followed all trouble shooting steps including moving the non-working boards over to chain 0 on the controller which was still working and then powering the machine with on that hash board. After starting the machine with only the bad hash board connected it still wouldn't show up. So far over the last 2 weeks I've now shipped a total of 5 defective hashboards back to bitmain for repair. Firmware isn't going to fix your problem. You need to follow the troubleshooting steps outlined by bitmain, identify the defective boards, open a support ticket at support.bitmain.com and wait for a response. Then they will instruct you to open a repair ticket, remove the defective boards and ship them back for repair. Sorry this has happened to you but know you're definitely not alone. I have 8 D3's and 5 of them now have defective boards.

[mtaboneweb]

So I've changed my firmware but noticed in Awesome miner that I have a 4th and 5th pool. Is there a reason why I have pools that were automatically mining that are not mine? The don't even show in the configuration so you can't remove them.

I have the same problem but i try the last firmware of Blissz and it works now but it gives me HW =0
so what it the HW means

So I've changed my firmware but noticed in Awesome miner that I have a 4th and 5th pool. Is there a reason why I have pools that were automatically mining that are not mine? The don't even show in the configuration so you can't remove them.

but things turn in wrong  way

I will make it more clear in the topic start, it is mining for me 1,5% of the time as compensation for the effort I put into this project. That's why you see the 2 extra pools. As you don't think the performance increase / power decrease / noise improvements are worth it you can always just flash back to stock firmware.

It is obvious but I was trying to be nice and wait for the official response... After I flashed back to original of course. I should have known better being a programmer to not put unofficial firmware on a machine running on my network but I guess I was not thinking with 80+ pages of people adopting this. To trusting on my part.

I am not, in any way trying to detract from the effort but I would have been more than willing to pay a non-hidden price for the effort. Just not comfortable with something being hidden away in there to do something most are probably not even aware of. If not for Awesome miner I would have never know this was even in there. If it said so originally in the 1st post I apologize but transparency builds trust, not hidden code.

In the 1st versions it was normal in the pool list, but a few people not want it, so he make it in the pool list invisible, but in the log you can alltime see, how long it is mining on Devpool, and it stay in Forum on so many pages, but . . .
in this part Blissz must make it more clear on the frontpage, a lot people like me are here from the beginning and so we all know it. but for people that come new it´s not so clear, looks like you can only see something in the Changelog´s from the Version where blissz make his 1.5% calculation not correct

[clyjr]

blissz, please add the dev pool back so it's obvious to the blundering idiots that can't read the first post, or read through the thread a little bit before blindly flashing new firmware on their antminer.

I for one thought it was obvious by reading the first post that there was a 1.5% dev pool, I don't believe blissz was trying to hide anything.  Also, my two D3s were running at 14.5 - 15GH/s at around 1050 watts on the stock bitmain firmware.  Now they are running at ~18 GH at 980 watts on blissz firmware.  So I'll gladly pay a 1.5% fee for a 20% bump in hashing power at a slightly lower power usage....

Appreciate the work blissz,  (careful, sarcasm ahead..) maybe you should create a pro version of the firmware without the fee and charge $50 upfront for it?  No wait, that wouldn't work because people would just pass around the firmware to make extra profit off of your hard work...  Guess it makes sense to just add a small fee into the firmware...
