Here is what you need to do. Take out 4 cards. Run your full rigs with 12 cards MAX. The mix and matched full rigs are unstable. 16 card full rigs will eventually become glitchy due to SPI bugs.
Losing 25% hashrate doesn't sound like a good option. He just received 2 1/4 rigs. He now has extra M boards to spread his full rig out.

Isn't he losing hashrate by not having a reliable rig. I'd rather get another m-board and spread the cards around then have to put up with constant maintenance and/or failures.

None of my units run properly. I've tried everything, but the cards just drop offline if they show up in the first place. Then slots start going dead entirely and cards never show up on them again. I thought maybe I had a bad component. I just got two new 100gh units today, that I bought specifically to get my October unit working finally. These ones are just doing the same thing, so there goes that plan. They don't even run for 2 minutes without dropping cards. I've lost so much time and money and these things it's disgusting. I've averaged about 50gh on my october unit, and I'm talking about 15 cards not 1.
Try this post from GandalfG from a while back that was helpful to create a bunch of troubleshooting configs. I recently had a rig go "weird" on me where a card decided to just up-and-die after 2-5 minutes. Plenty of airflow and cooling. It's in a Spotswood case for stability, and had been working fine for a month or so now. Had to set the one "weird" board to aIfDSo 52 in /opt/bitfury/best.cnf and the rig has been humming along well since. pi@bf02:/run/shm$ cat /opt/bitfury/best.cnf 1 aIfDSo 52 2 aIfDSo 52 3 aIfDSo 52 4 aIfDSo 52 5 aIfDSo 52 6 aIfDSo 52 7 aIfDSo 52 8 aIfDSo 52 9 aIfDSo 52 10 aIfDSo 52 11 aIfDSo 52 12 aIfDSo 52 13 aIfDSo 52 14 aIfDSo 52 15 aIfDSo 52 16 aIfDSo 52 pi@bf02:/run/shm$
Okay I got it working. The only problem I got now is that I can only get bank number 1-11 working. I have 12 plugged in. but only 11 looks to be working. I’m have a problem running the rig when I have all 16 h boards plugged in. it would just power up and shut off. But when I remove 4 (left with 12) it would power on and I would be able to hash. However it would only hash with 11 boards. i've also notice that after hashing for about 20min or so, some of the h boards stop hashing. only 4 would be hashing still and the rest would stop. why is that?
Any idea on how to fix this problem.
i doubt that its the psu. but i could be wrong. my psu is 700w and 570w towards 12v. i have 2 pci-e cables on the psu. if you think its the psu. please direct me to the right place to buy the right psu. psu model: coolmax cu700b
Mboard version ? mboard is v3.0 Ok there is 16 factory overclocked board. I think PSU can't handle that much. First set speed on all boards to 52 Login to Pi and do command rm /opt/bitfury/best.cnf ; for i in {1..256} ; do echo -e "$i\taIfDSo\t52" >> /opt/bitfury/best.cnf ; done 1 - After that try run with 12 boards for test for 30 min. 2 - If no hash drop, shutdown miner and add 1 more board. 3 - Make test. Repeat for max board count working stable. I strongly suggest decrease voltage on all boards. Turn little pot near Pulse inductor on Hboards counterclockwise about a quarter turn or so.

There factory overclocked, but I've tried lowering them all to 25gh and I didn't see any change as far as boards dropping off.

Yeah for those the best is to leave them at stock voltage but adjust the frequency in the miner config file. Try starting with a clock rate of 52. It could also be that your m-board is bad. Did you talk with Dave about getting it swapped?

I was hoping/expecting a price decrease to match the Difficulty increases, guess not. I quite like Bitfury, everything he's done in the past, and had hoped for an opportunity to support him. Looks like that won't be happening, back to Bitmain it is.

At the current exchange rate and difficulty factor, I'd pay $390 per card. If they want to sell, they need to lower the price, or pray that the exchange rate skyrockets again, to at least $1150/BTC.
They've lowered the price a few times, but usually too little too late. If they'd been willing to sell at their current $650 price just 12 days ago, I'd have bought a bunch.

Hey Jason, when are the V1.2 board orders shipping?
Ha, I was just about ready to post about them! (just got back from the family holiday thing) Yvonne says the V1s came in and will be shipped out tonight. Both Fed-ex and UPS were backed up with packages, and with the holidays - it made a nice mess of things. I want to apologize about putting them online saying they were in stock, I did not know they were on the way. After the New Year, we're going to have a full-time dedicated shipping & receiving person in the warehouse and I am here to ensure that we make sure there is less of a communications gap with everyone. In other news, just got done with a nice 'How-to' guide for the V3s - taking about 220 pages and consolidating it into an easy to read guide with pictures and links. I also have a quick question for those with V3 kits - did anyone have any trouble setting the IP addresses with the V3 image over the V2 and V1 images? Just curious.

Just got tracking a few minutes ago. And the love the next day air.

Don't bother. At the current prices, there's no use buying these.

IMO, full rigs need to drop down to ~$6k to be competitive at this point. Throwing money at Bitmain presently makes more sense. The present pricing leads me to believe that the Bitfury directors are making way more money mining with their hardware than selling it, and selling to us at a reasonable price would be counter to their present goals of controlling as much hashrate as they can and keeping it out of their customers' hands. Where have we seen this before... IOW: Tytus got greedy, and is flying the middle-finger in our faces with his outrageous current pricing. </conspiracy-theory>

Don't bother. At the current prices, there's no use buying these. +1 28K for 1TH, that is crazy. You'll not recover half of BTCs paid. Don't buy at these prices. Full kits should be priced at $2K. But they are "Fool Kits" so I guess the pricing is right.

He responded that he is not in charge and then wrote a wordy bitcoin economics lessen that I could not follow. I doubt it made a difference but the next day the h boards dropped from $999 to $675. All I know is they are still too expensive and sushi has been getting a lot of my money lately.
