Mine ran for about 10 days before the m-board started failing. Only one slot that works on and off now. Hopefully I can get it replaced this week.
Running into a similar problem myself One of the RMA'd h-boards runs fine for about 5 minutes, and then starts creeping down to 0 before it dies. Restarting the miner gives it some more life until it gives up again. Forcing everything to 52, have two fans on ensuring everything is cool... strange. This gear is very... temperamental Was running fine for a week and suddenly starting dying on me today Will continue troubleshooting :| Edit: Yep, troubleshot some more. An H-card went flakey on me sometime today If I stick the single flakey board in slot 0, it makes the m-board think there are 4 boards plugged in throwing massive errors. If I stick a working board in slot 0, and the flakey board in slot 1, slot 0 (good board) will eventually go to 0GHs and die completely, while the flakey board in slot 1 will hash at around ~30GH/s. If I throw the flakey card in slot 1 by itself, with nothing in slot 0, it doesn't work at all. I give up. Edit2: More troubleshooting, put the unit on it's side, built a support structure out of Lego (cards slide into grooves on a long flat green lego board), and managed to Frankenstein the two cards to be stable @ ~30GH/s each. Very very strange *shrugs* Edit3: Heh.

I think these rigs are sensitive to movement of the cards, especially vibration from airflow when not secured. Occasionally I have to reseat my cards and restart chainminer.

yep THIS...i made a tension bridge out of clear tape that pulled cards left or right (depending on side of board). Do not put too much tension on the cards, but just have enough so they will not move when the air cools them. GH/s much stable now.

I already have two rows of electrical tape across the top of the cards. Maybe I should redo my tape job.. gonna do that now in fact, will report back!
EDIT: It seems this temporarily fixed 3/4 of the boards that were not working. I have tried this before and I have a feeling that like last time, the boards will soon drop to 0Gh. I guess I need to figure out something else to keep the boards in place.
PS: PSU is not a problem, I am running both full rigs on their own separate ASUS Gold AX1200s

Seriously, packing peanuts jammed between the boards. Mine have been running for almost two weeks now without interruption

I kinda wish the support stuff was posted in another thread. Every time I see new posts I get excited thinking maybe Dave has finally posted again... only to be let down by the tech stuff. But I guess if it wasn't for those posts this thread would disappear and be forgotten. Dave, why have you forsaken us?!

Dave, why have you forsaken us?! he's off doing whatever is going on with the 100Th (350TH) mine, which apparently lost its hot and cold wallet accounts this past week? PS: I am still waiting to get or use my 2.25BTC in store credit. Its getting a bit weird now that im not getting any reply as to how/when i can receive it ro my wallet or be allowed to use it on hardware that isnt for sale...

Dave has been sporadic (at best) with communication the past month. But now Punin has stopped posting too and he was sitting on a pile of V1.2 boards that he was afraid to sell without heatsinks because of excessive heat. But it did seem like he had every intention to sell... until the BTC price skyrocketed. This sucks!

Hi Dave,
Should I say goodbye to the possibility to fill 28 empty slots on my M-boards? Please let me know so I can allocate the funds I've prepared to buy more H-Boards for others hardware.
Thanks.

Dave is too busy with his own farm... We have reached 400TH - actually its about 420 - 440TH, but some rigs aren't in stats yet. I'll let Tytus comment on what he intends to do about any missing divs while pico was down. I expect we'll be very near 500TH by end of the week Cheers, Dave I kinda wish the support stuff was posted in another thread.

Hi everybody - I have not forsaken you! I have indeed been very busy growing the mine and hiring/training additional team members.
I have *finally* got a new merchant account for CC processing!
Very soon I will open sales for the following: -old style V1 H-boards -new style V2.2 H-boards -dodgy trouble cards, EOL's, noisy, etc. -Limited Edition megabigpower.com Red Furies (not really for serious miners, more of a learning thing)
Soon means hopefully this week, but I'm travelling. Turn around on V1 H-boards might be just a few days longer - we have to order those special.
Best, Dave

Yes....a lot of money... If the price are like the EU shop... Bad news is that the price is much higher. New H-cards will sell for 850€ a piece + VAT. Please don't blame me for the prices as I'm not the one who sets them.

Pretty sure the price will be going up, not down. So prepare yourself for the reality. $500 H boards will seem like a steal now. And expect Punin to do the same. The ASIC market is a much different place than it was a month ago. We probably won't see the price decrease until the competition starts flooding the market with the next wave or if bitcoin crashes... whichever comes first.

I think both US and Eu should have V1 hboars for sale.
