38 GH .. ? right on Nice! But still inside the specs of the DC/DC Converter? Hard to belive for me, assumed that cooling alone does not produce more nonces

added ... 6. Bad & Dead ChipsYou might have dead chips (marked as A) on your board that want go anywhere else then 0, ... and autotune ("a") will even be turn of on them and you might have bad chips which autotune will probably tune down to 0 clockspeed, but still autotune ("A") will be turned on (marked as B). For dead chips there is no solution from software side that I know off. There might be some Hardware possibilities ... I don't know. For bad chips there is!First you need to turn of autotune "A" to "a" so that they wont be turned down to 0, because right know as long as they produce to many errors, they will be turned down until 0. To start of set there clockspeed to 55 on the bad chip and let him run for 10-15 min. Check again. If he is performing better or not ... find a good rate between good and error. You might go down to 54 or 53 ... just check again, where the bad chip is performing at his max. potential ... at the end it might look like this one ... * a bad one but still more then a stick It might even be that bad chips get again running fine after running for hours (>24h) ... some users mentioned that bitfury chips have an integrated selfhealing mechanisme ... :-) plz ... feel free to correct me or give some suggestions ...

I dont think you are talking about a real bad chip here, look at my chip 9 for example it only does errors ever, no point in turning it on at all. 1 aIfDSo 52 1.346 1.289 94 0 0 0 122 [8:0] 0 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 5 5 6 6 6 6 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 aIfDSo 52 1.160 1.311 81 2 0 0 124 [8:1] 36 5 6 6 5 5 4 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3 aIfDSo 52 1.274 1.321 89 3 0 0 125 [8:2] 0 6 6 5 5 6 6 6 6 5 6 6 6 5 5 5 5 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 4 aIfDSo 52 1.374 1.216 96 0 0 0 115 [8:3] 0 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 5 aIfDSo 52 1.160 1.004 81 0 0 0 95 [8:4] 15 5 5 5 5 5 6 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 6 aIfDSo 52 1.174 1.374 82 0 0 2 130 [8:5] 36 5 6 6 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 7 aIfDSo 52 1.346 1.332 94 1 1 0 126 [8:6] 0 6 6 5 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 5 6 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 8 aIfDSo 52 1.503 1.300 105 3 0 0 123 [8:7] 1 6 5 6 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 6 6 7 6 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 9 aIfDSo 0 0.000 0.285 0 2208 0 6 27 [8:8] 756 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 315 316 316 0 316 315 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 315 315 10 aIfDSo 52 1.389 1.226 97 4 0 4 116 [8:9] 10 6 6 6 6 5 5 5 6 5 7 7 7 6 7 7 6 0 0 0 0 1 2 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 11 aIfDSo 0 0.000 0.888 0 85 0 7 84 [8:A] 495 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 5 5 5 5 5 6 6 6 6 6 5 5 5 5 5 5 12 aIfDSo 52 0.000 1.247 0 92 0 4 118 [8:B] 23 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 6 6 6 6 5 6 7 6 5 4 6 6 6 6 5 6 13 aIfDSo 52 0.000 1.237 0 75 0 1 117 [8:C] 147 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 4 4 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 4 4 5 5 4 5 14 aIfDSo 52 0.000 1.226 0 0 0 0 116 [8:D] 13 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 15 aIfDSo 52 1.088 1.332 76 5 0 2 126 [8:E] 0 4 5 4 5 6 3 5 5 6 6 6 5 5 4 4 3 1 0 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 16 aIfDSo 52 0.129 0.285 9 1 0 7 27 [8:F] 53 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 17 aIfDSo 52 0.000 0.190 0 0 0 0 18 [C:0] 194 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 18 aIfDSo 52 1.303 1.374 91 1 0 0 130 [C:1] 0 4 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 5 5 5 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 19 aIfDSo 52 1.016 1.279 71 1 0 0 121 [C:2] 0 4 4 5 5 5 4 5 5 5 5 4 4 4 4 4 4 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 20 aIfDSo 52 1.589 1.342 111 0 0 0 127 [C:3] 0 7 7 7 7 6 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 21 aIfDSo 52 0.873 1.321 61 0 0 0 125 [C:4] 0 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 3 3 3 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 22 aIfDSo 52 0.000 1.205 0 88 0 24 114 [C:5] 15 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 6 5 6 6 5 6 6 5 5 6 6 5 5 5 5 6 23 aIfDSo 0 0.000 0.000 0 0 0 0 0 [C:6] 573 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 24 aIfDSo 52 0.000 0.000 0 0 0 0 0 [C:7] 294 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 25 aIfDSo 52 0.000 0.000 0 0 0 0 0 [C:8] 216 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 26 aIfDSo 52 0.000 0.000 0 0 0 0 0 [C:9] 49 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 27 aIfDSo 0 0.029 0.095 2 8 0 0 9 [C:A] 665 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 0 1 0 28 aIfDSo 52 1.374 1.279 96 2 0 0 121 [C:B] 10 5 7 6 5 4 6 6 7 7 7 6 6 5 7 6 6 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 29 aIfDSo 52 0.601 1.247 42 0 0 0 118 [C:C] 4 3 2 2 2 3 2 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 2 2 3 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 30 aIfDSo 52 1.260 1.226 88 6 0 0 116 [C:D] 2 5 5 5 5 5 5 6 6 6 6 5 6 6 6 6 5 1 2 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 31 aIfDSo 52 0.959 1.184 67 2 0 1 112 [C:E] 1 5 4 4 5 4 4 4 4 3 4 4 4 5 4 4 5 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 32 aIfDSo 52 1.102 1.300 77 4 0 0 123 [C:F] 0 4 5 5 6 5 4 4 4 6 6 6 6 4 4 3 5 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 speed:1456 noncerate[GH/s]:23.050 (0.720/chip) hashrate[GH/s]:30.916 good:1610 errors:2591 spi-errors:1 miso-errors:58 jobs:376 (record[GH/s]:28.862) 8: 728 12.942 17.873 904 2479 1 33 C: 728 10.107 13.043 706 112 0 25
after chip #9 every coming chips go bad too, so I think I have to use the soldering jumpers - but I dont know how. Also it seems someone already used the soldering jumper on my chip #9 (if it is nr. 9). Can someone advice me here?

That is chip 2, and that jumper should not be closed. This could be the problem with your board. The chips are numbered U40, U41, ..., so chip 9 would be U48.

thank you! *edit* removing the solder from SJ50 helped alot, miso-errors on other chips are gone and hashrate doubled

What's the solution when you see lots of MISO errors? by lots I mean: Last login: Sat Sep 14 17:51:00 2013 from 192.168.1.2 { "stats": {"speed": 880, "noncerate": 21.589, "noncerateperchip":1.349, "hashrate":28.678 , "good":568, "errors":138, "spi-errors":0, "miso-errors":126, "jobs":140, "record":0.000 ,"boards": [ { "slot": "0", "speed": 880, "noncerate":21.589, "hashrate": 28.678, "good": 568 , "errors": 138, "spi-errors": 0, "miso-errors":[b]126[/b] } ] } }

now how did you manage that? Crazy. Due to better cooling or mostly due to massive overclocking, pencil mod it down to .. 1k? 1,05k? Of course fine tuning in the end.. but.. 38? damn!

Here's How I did it: a) Buy Copper VGA RAM Heatsinks. Usually ships in sets of 8, so 2 packs per h-board. a.1) I bought these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/161102078777?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649b) Affix each piece of VGA RAM Heatsink to the back of each BitFury chip on the H-Board. The RAM heatsinks come with thermal adhesives affixed. c) Cut a 2 inch strip of DDR3 / DDR2 RAM heatskink for cooling the regulator area. Affix the heatsink to the back of board near the regulator with either thermally conductive glue or use some kind of thermal paste and small dabs of superglue / epoxy at the edges d) Pencil mod the board until voltage reaches 0.8V. One of my boards is at 0.8V another at 0.84V. I would say 0.85V is the max after which either the regulator will shut down or the hash rate will drop dramatically. e) Cool the boards with 120mm or bigger cooling fans. f) Play around with best.cnf (I first changed of all the chip speeds to 54, and measured nonce rate after 10mins of hashing, then changed to 55 and again measured nonce rates. Compared the differences on a excel spreadsheet, and chose 54 or 55 depending on which produced higher hash rates for the chip.) g) I Use only one pool for mining h) renice the miner proxy process to -14 or lower 2100 root 6 -14 33196 18864 4064 R 81.0 3.8 36h27:30 python ./mining_proxy.py -o us3.eclipsemc.com -p 3333 -cu XXXXXXXXXXX -cp XXXX -gp 8332 -v
h.1) I use htop to do it h.1.1) sudo apt-get install htop h.1.2) pi@bitfury / $ sudo htop h.1.3) Press F7 repeatedly to reduce nice.

d) Pencil mod the board until voltage reaches 0.8V. One of my boards is at 0.8V another at 0.84V. I would say 0.85V is the max after which either the regulator will shut down or the hash rate will drop dramatically. how many is it in ohm on resistor?

But I think it should be between 1.05 to 1.08K on the mounted resistor.

Added: HC Hardware Tuning:Here's How I did it: a) Buy Copper VGA RAM Heatsinks. Usually ships in sets of 8, so 2 packs per h-board. a.1) I bought these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/161102078777?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649b) Affix each piece of VGA RAM Heatsink to the back of each BitFury chip on the H-Board. The RAM heatsinks come with thermal adhesives affixed. c) Cut a 2 inch strip of DDR3 / DDR2 RAM heatskink for cooling the regulator area. Affix the heatsink to the back of board near the regulator with either thermally conductive glue or use some kind of thermal paste and small dabs of superglue / epoxy at the edges d) Pencil mod the board until voltage reaches 0.8V. One of my boards is at 0.8V another at 0.84V. I would say 0.85V is the max after which either the regulator will shut down or the hash rate will drop dramatically. e) Cool the boards with 120mm or bigger cooling fans. f) Play around with best.cnf (I first changed of all the chip speeds to 54, and measured nonce rate after 10mins of hashing, then changed to 55 and again measured nonce rates. Compared the differences on a excel spreadsheet, and chose 54 or 55 depending on which produced higher hash rates for the chip.) g) I Use only one pool for mining h) renice the miner process to -14 or lower 2100 root 6 -14 33196 18864 4064 R 81.0 3.8 36h27:30 python ./mining_proxy.py -o us3.eclipsemc.com -p 3333 -cu XXXXXXXXXXX -cp XXXX -gp 8332 -v
h.1) I use htop to do it h.1.1) sudo apt-get install htop h.1.2) pi@bitfury / $ htop h.1.3) Press F7 repeatedly to reduce nice.

Two quick questions on the goxxed info. 1) What points are you using exactly to measure the altered voltage? I am leery to probe around the board while powered up for fear of shorting something. 2) What exactly is reniceing and why is it important to reduce? This is the first time I have seen this term used in the bitfury threads. Thanks very much and awesome work!
