Guys how u miner configuration use ? When i put settings

Global Settings:
431 M
Lowest

Chain 1:
444M
Lowest

Chain 2:
Use Global

Chain 3:
425M

My D3 mining arround 15.5 Ghs and take 820 Wats.

Oryginal d3 mining 19.5 ghs and take 1200 wats .. how tu setinds 19 ghs with lowest wats ? .. when i put

Global Settings
550 M
Lowest

i have much HW and after fiews mins show XxxxxXXxxxxXxxxx on board ! please help

How is the sound? Is it much tolerable now?

On that setings

Global Settings:
431 M
Lowest

Chain 1:
444M
Lowest

Chain 2:
Use Global
Use Global

Chain 3:
425M

Rly impresive u can sleep work like normal pc .. but 15 ghs < 19 ghs ;/ i lost 4 ghs at the moment and les 400 wat .. idk what to thing ..

I think you can get a better performance. Start setting each chain at global and start in your case witht the global setting: 425mhz @ lowest voltage. Now increase the Global frequency untill one chain starts giving HW errors.
Then it's time to fine tune by adjusting each chain. On some you're might able to squeeze out a bit more Mhz and on some chain you mihgt have to increase the voltage a bit to get rid of HW errors.
I hope it's clear what I try to explain, otherwise let me know then I can write a sort of tutorial how to tune it.

Yes...a step by step instructions will be great for novice and for refreshing. Thanks a lot again for your hard work.

how i can install aftermarket fans to d3
and do these fan to work?

[Wananavu99]

Random question. Are the 15ghz D3s actually different from the 19.3 Ghz ones? Will they perform differently with this firmware or using the latest update from Bitmain? Is it possible to get a 15 up to 19.3? I'm just wondering if the new machines are actually permanently any better than the previous ones.

1 batch was 15 ghs
2 batch was 17 ghs
3 batch was 19 ghs
4 batch should be 20 ghs
5 last batch ( deceber ) 21/22 ghs .. this is info from bitmain

I buy fieew machines from 3 batch they are all 19.5 ghs stock 1221 wats

Yeah that's just too much man, bitmain must think we have free electricity.  I live in the mountain west and our electric bill averages about 9 cents kWH because of cheap coal, but still 1221 Watts is just too much.

No, bitmain thinks these will be run in datacenters by professional companies. The only miner they designed for home in the last 3 years is the Antminer R4 and it was a disaster. These machines are not meant to be run at home.

Does the reset button no longer work? Anyone else verify?

Nevermind, it's a very short window of opportunity. 5 minutes after power up is no problem.

Bitmain has new firmware for D3. Just in case you n Ed to know this for the new

Firmware mods you tweak.

Yes, the new firmware on 11/20, Blissz should check.

1. fix the issue: some miner's chip status is 'x' after running for several hours or days.

[ruptan]

In order to use the Mod you set up the frequency to 400M first and then flush it with the new mod? Do you keep the machine running all the time? Sorry..asking too many silly questions may be.
I am thinking about the following steps, Please correct me if I am wrong...Thank you so much

===========
Miner Configuration> Advanced Settings> Change the Default settings to 431M
Then Miner Config>General Settings> Set fan speed to 25% and Apply
Next step is to Flush the New Mode from System>Upgrade> Keep settings mark on> New Firmware Image>Upload new Firmware
Finally  >>> Reboot.

[margauxlolo]

Great news. Thanks for doing this. I guess that there's still hope for the D3. Can't wait till I get it.

Nice performance setting. Maybe you can lower the voltage a step on all the boards. It's ok to have a few HW errors every hour.

Thanks I will have a look at what I can use from the new version

Hi Blissz, could you please explain me why when running a D3 with your mod, at 220v triphase (500 Mhz in both cases, at 10th level Volt global) I get more AMP consumption (mesured with ammeter)

Your mod gives 5 AMP at 500Mhz, level 10 global
Default Bitmain's 4.6 AMP at 500MHZ

As far as i have read, A= W/V, so W=A*V? then, in my particular case, consumption should be higer with your mod or am i wrong?

Which batch you have and what AMP meter do you use?
Actually I found out that voltage setting "13" is the bitmain's default voltage for the October batch, so it's strange that you're seeing more amps on setting 10 actually.

The things you can try:
1) Can you try to lower the voltage setting (ie to to get upto 4.6 AMP or do you see HW errors if you do so?
2) set the FAN to a static value (ie 50%) and check the chip temperatures to compare. Chip temps will give a good indication of the wattage being used.

@Blissz, I am a hardware/firmware developer. I got the wild notion to inspect the processor board and found it to be a Beaglebone_black_v2.3, my version anyway. I went to Beaglebone.org and found the specs. This D3 version is missing some crucial parts like the usb, buttons and some other chips.
Here are links:

Now here is the internet bomb:
We all know or should that there are threads about the D3 explaining Bitmain's use of the D3 to corrupt the market against any competition. Whether this is true or not it stands to reason that the greedy operate this way. So I gave it some thought and here goes:
How could BM impact the market quickly and most efficiently? Simple repackage an existing product and the clamor of the market would make the necessary statements to promote the 'NEW' product which the public did. In this case BM didn't have to lift a finger because of the trust and product effectiveness that the S series products had gained in the market. The trap is set.
How did BM get the D3 to market? We look at the runtime specs. Fans are loud, the hashing advertisement is high for x11, the speed is high. But the overall performance / profitability is negative in most cases. Any country that has high utility prices is not a great home for these units. My suspicion is these are S9s or lower and reconfigured for x11 with a conversion routine. And why not? Nicehash, Zpool, and Prohash do it! Right?
Repurposed S7s or lower would make the best sense. Keep making lower hashrate boards and plug and play. Who would know? With the conversion the high hashrate BTC boards would easily perform the task AT THE COIN RATES THAT EXISTED AT THAT TIME. They don't perform at the time of this writing but as I said 'THE TRAP WAS SET' and purchasers are screwed, the competition is dead and the market has consumed up any single unit purchasers from ever continuing.

Two things pertaining to the hardware. I have a D3 off grid right now and an S9 on grid that I will be moving in a couple of days so I will have a look at the hash cards for similarities.
After that, if I notice that the boards are the same I will order a Beaglebone black from Beaglebone, flash and MSD image, install and try it. It cant hurt. If this works then this will be a start at opening the platform.

There is a thread about one of the developers modifying the Bitmain software but he has since disappeared.

I am open to any thought on this...

Hi blissz,

1 why would you mount a 2 their pool?
2 how to remove them?

What could be the relaton betwen Chip temp/wattage?

October batch at 537 Mhz default, before flashing your mod i have lowered my 3 D3 to 500 Mhz because had a lot of HW, indeed, flashing and tweaking with your mod, i haven't be able to correct the HW. Furthermore, the lowest temp of the chips i have had,  is 87-89º at 28º ambient, mine are too hot, i wil take a pic of the ammeter tomorrow, is the one of a clamp to test by cable, i have Bitmain's PSU in each one, at 220v, please a little patience with my poor english, thanks

You lost me here. What would you flash it with? The S9 firmware? Are you saying that the rest of the units are the same, and it could just be the firmware on the processor board blocking the ability to run other algorithms?

Chip on l3+ ---> BM1485
Chip on d3 ----> BM1760
Chip on S9 ----> BM1387
you are not the first one who does this, and apparently you do not understand how it is arranged
IMHO
