Will you start a new thread for your A841 review and testing? Do you have an estimated ship date for your A841? Are you in the April 15th-April 30th batch that I see mentioned on the BlokForge website, or perhaps something sooner? I am very interested in how this plays out, as you can probably tell by my questions....  |

I have received a A841 sample unit from Canaan and I'm working on the review for it.

Thanks for the great review, I read it and have just ordered some 821s. How are the Sorcerer PSU that Canaan provide, not fussed about noise more about how reliable they are. Have been using 2880 but cannot get the breakout boards from J4bberwock anymore in Europe so want to change to "normal" PSU.
Was thinking of either Sorcerer or some standard Corsair or Seasonic ATX PSU.
Any advice welcomed.
Thanks
Andy

The sorcerer's work great. The fans higher pitch is noticeable over the miners but not bad. I have 6 and so far zero problems though of course the PSU has only been out less than a year.

@AndyM456Thanks. Yep. I would like to say that please don't buy a ATX psu. My two good choices that I can recommend for both A821 and A841: If I understood you right and you are located in Europe, I can definitely recommend you this Canaan partner in Vienna, Austria (EU area): www.cryptouniverse.at

Many thanks for the quick answer. Sorcerer it will be, I will look at the EU supplier, thanks for the link.
The 2880 were great but having not bought any for 3 years am shocked by the big price increase (They were 35 USD each when I got them in 2015), now makes more sense to get something dedicated like the Sorcerer so no need for breakouts/PCIE cables etc.
All the best
Andy

Sorry to revive an old post but does anyone know where to pick up some 5-pin AUC3 cable?
Thanks

No problem. I assume that you have the AUC3 Converter, but no cable. If there is no original cable available to buy, you can make your own by using a generic 2.54mm pitch jumper cable. Here is an example https://www.makerstore.com.au/product/elec-ff-jump-10/You must do a straight connection from a pin to pin.  |

Thank you Philipma1957 I ordered the ones you use, they seemed easier and the right length.

yeah if it does not work just flip one end as most likely you plugged one end in wrong.

Does anyone know what is the lowest setting on the 821? I just tried playing with --avalon8-voltage-level 1-5 with no luck.
I know on low power you get about 9TH but the temps are still too high and was trying to get lower if possible.
Thanks

hello, great thread. i've been running some 821s that i inherited from a guy for about a year and i decided to point them at a different pool for shits and giggles and corrupted my controller. now i need to reset my controller, i think i have it mostly i used the following links to get the image... https://download.canaan-creative.com/avalon821/openwrt/anyways, now i have the controller setup but im only getting a small amount of hashing. i think it has to do with the "more options" setting in the cgminer tab? can someone corroborate this? i observed some settings there before i lost my last controller setup. can someone tell me how to tweak it out? i've got three 821s and ive got them daisy chained under one worker and im using braiins pool. i was getting them to scream before and i was able to get reported hashrates close to 50TH/s please can someone help me walk through the situation and reset my setup.. here is a view of my mining operation https://youtu.be/YMr9G21jbUM?si=wDbpbJlg25bmTNPz |
