Has anyone been able to get SimpleRigResetter (SRR) working with this board? I have a SRR v2 and for the life of me, I can't get the SRR to power cycle this mobo. For those not familiar with SRR, it is a device that connects to the power LED and power switch pins on a mobo so that it can monitor the current power state, and also turn the mobo on and off. I know I have the 2 wires for the power LED connected correctly because I can see the virtual power LED in the SRRTool turn from RED to GREEN when the board is powered on, and back to RED again when powered off. But the 2 wires that connect to the power button pins on the Octominer board do nothing at all. I tried reversing those 2 wires, but it still didn't work. The reversing of these 2 pins works on some motherboards since the optoisolator on the SRR only allows current to flow in one direction. So here's how I have the 4 wires from a port on the SRR connected: (and I have tried several other ports and associated wiring that works with other mobos)  And I have tried reversing the green and yellow wires to no avail as mentioned above. Perhaps I need to use that unmarked pin below green wire in the above pic instead? Out of about 10 different motherboards I have tested with SRR, this is only the 2nd one that I can't get working. The other board is the Biostar Racing Z170-GT7. The SSR works fine on Asus PRIME Z270-A, MSI Z270A PRO, Colorful C.B250A-BTC 8 slot mobo, Onda B250 D8P-D3 and various other mobos I have tested. Very curious if others have been able to get SRR to work with the Octominer board. I can't deploy Octominer based rigs remotely without this feature working. Bump. @octominer can you provide the technical specs for how the power on/off circuitry is designed? Apparently it was designed differently than 99% of motherboards out there to where an optoisolated gate is not able to power the board on and off. Thanks |

https://ibb.co/ire0fSI just received this PSU. The input voltage says 176 - 264v AC. It came with a 110v cord. My house is 110v Is this the new PSU I talked to you guys about? I received an email from you guys talking about the problems with the old server PSU with an ATX replacement offer. After working it out with you guys and agreeing to be sent an ATX as a replacement, I was sent this server PSU. I talked to you in the chatbox on your site about recieving the server one and you said it was a "new" server PSU I was sent. I just now noticed the input voltage. Whats up?

fwiw my onda b250 d8p v1 has the same bug, power button will turn it on but not off. cant see anything in the bios either. sorry for the non helpful reply, just another datapoint. |

I talked to you in the chatbox on your site about recieving the server one and you said it was a "new" server PSU I was sent. I just now noticed the input voltage. Whats up? Hey there! That is actually our new and improved server PSU that works 100-264V. The sustained 24/7 mining load on 110V is 1600W for it. We received this PSU earlier than expected and due to this we were able to send it instead of the ATX. This PSU has more power and a better efficiency rating. There is a mistake on the black label regarding the voltage. It actually does support 110V and there should be another white label under the PSU also stating it. Let me know if you have any more questions. |

So you're saying that by default, the power button is ignored and the motherboard will turn on, and stay on, when power is supplied? In other words, with the default BIOS setting, the power button is ignored? I'll play around with the BIOS to see if I can change it so that the power button becomes functional. Most motherboard work somewhat different in that they have a BIOS setting that allows the motherboard to turn back on by default after a power loss. |

The way its worked for me so far is that if I turn the psu off, the system will power on automatically when you apply power. if you do a shutdown say from windows, then the motherboard will power off but the psu does not since the 24pin is just jumpered it is always on. I noticed this since I use the octominer case and the case funs stay on even if the system is shut down. one of the reasons i installed a fan controller. If i shut the UPS down from windows I can turn it back on with the power button, I can also do a system reset with the reset button np as well as do a hard shut down by holding down the power button. @octominer can you provide the technical specs for how the power on/off circuitry is designed?

wow. congrats on being the first legitimate seller to offer these in low quantities. does your price include shipping? what is the power draw of this card running at 40MH? still a bit high on $/MH though @ $16.13/MH. with any mining card you're paying for hashrate. lower is better. i mean, worst case 1060s can get you 20MH (hynix mem cards), for $250 (3gb model). thats 12.50$/MH if you get a good performing card at a good price, you can do say 24-25MH for about $300. thats $12.00/MH my best card (asus 3gb, samsung) does 25MH, that i paid $265 for ($10.60/MH) my median cards (evga 6gb, micron) do 24MH, that i paid $287/ea for ($11.97/MH) my worst card (asus 6gb, micron) does 23MH, that i paid $266 for ($11.56/MH) then on the AMD side, if you can get deals on cards (still possible, just have to be vigilant, lurk craigslist and ebay/ r/hardwareswap). 570s and 580s are even better. i bought 6x RX570 4GB cards before the new year for $240 each. and each one does 28-29MH after some tweaking. thats $8.42/MH and the 2 RX 580 4GB i bought are around the $10/MH price (for what i paid) the only downside is that the AMD cards in my experience require a lot more tweaking to get them optimized and stable. side note, it's hilarious that these cards have SLI connectors. |

Price is still too high in my opinion considering you only get decent hashrate on ethereum, most other algo's are equal or less than other equivalent gpu's with a much smaller resale market, less warranty etc. Especially if claims of etherum asic/modified gpu miner end up being true, then this card loses its claim on the only algo that its decent at. Just my opinion. If it was around the $500 range then I'd consider it, but paying $650 for basically 1 algo just isn't worth it to me; may be for some others building large farms etc and only farming Eth. wow. congrats on being the first legitimate seller to offer these in low quantities. does your price include shipping? what is the power draw of this card running at 40MH? still a bit high on $/MH though @ $16.13/MH. with any mining card you're paying for hashrate. lower is better. i mean, worst case 1060s can get you 20MH (hynix mem cards), for $250 (3gb model). thats 12.50$/MH if you get a good performing card at a good price, you can do say 24-25MH for about $300. thats $12.00/MH my best card (asus 3gb, samsung) does 25MH, that i paid $265 for ($10.60/MH) my median cards (evga 6gb, micron) do 24MH, that i paid $287/ea for ($11.97/MH) my worst card (asus 6gb, micron) does 23MH, that i paid $266 for ($11.56/MH) then on the AMD side, if you can get deals on cards (still possible, just have to be vigilant, lurk craigslist and ebay/ r/hardwareswap). 570s and 580s are even better. i bought 6x RX570 4GB cards before the new year for $240 each. and each one does 28-29MH after some tweaking. thats $8.42/MH and the 2 RX 580 4GB i bought are around the $10/MH price (for what i paid) the only downside is that the AMD cards in my experience require a lot more tweaking to get them optimized and stable. side note, it's hilarious that these cards have SLI connectors. |

Hey! The P104 prices we have are the best on the market right now. If you want we also have GTX 1060 3GB with Samsung memory (24.5MH/S at 70W) for 269USD. |

im not ripping your price, just the price of those cards in general. they dont perform well enough to warrant that price IMO when you can buy 1060's that are more cost efficient.
buying P104's, $650 gets you 40MH
buying 1060's, $650 gets you ~50+ MH
but you still didnt answer my questions.
does your price include shipping?
what is the power draw from the P104 card @ 40MH?

Yeah, the 1060s hashrate per dollar is better but you will have more cost for the rig per GPU for the hashrate and it pretty much evens out. Also the 1060 is 3GB so ETH mining is limited til April 2019. Power draw is 120W at 40.5MH/S. Shipping per GPU is 10USD extra if buying more than 5pcs. |

You guys definitely have the best price that I’ve seen for these with availability, unfortunately it’s the best of a price that is still too high for what your getting. Between market conditions, dropping gpu prices and possible Eth asic on he horizon there’s just no reason to spend $640 on a gpu that is only good at mining Eth and nothing else. im not ripping your price, just the price of those cards in general. they dont perform well enough to warrant that price IMO when you can buy 1060's that are more cost efficient.
