The Chili – 30+GH/s BFL based Bitcoin Miner Assembly

[Keefe]

What is your average daily BTC earning for a single Chili right now?

7*24H=100G/0.09-0.08btc you can do math

So about .03BTC/unit/day. Thanks!

After tooling around with cooling a few days I have my 2 miners putting out approximately 72 GH/S combined. That is netting .066 BTC/day on BTCGUild. My goal is .2 BTC/day... so I need another 160 GH/S or so... I have 65 GH/S on the way... so I need 100GH/S.

Do you guys have a suggestion of good hardware for this? Chilis are gone... so time to look for something else.

Would you be interested in more Chilis? I have 8 in hand with coolers already mounted, that I'm willing to sell for 1.1 BTC each.

I am new to The Chili and I have tried BFGMINER and CGMINER in Windows and it still cant find the device. What drivers do I need to get it recognized?

What should the command line look like to run it on a pool?

Thx in advance

I think BFG works fine in windows with the FTDI driver. Did you wait for the LEDs to go out before starting BFG/CG?

[oldbushie]

When will I be able to run the Chilis in EasyMiner on an Android device? Or can they run in that already? I thought maybe a firmware upgrade would be needed due to what happened with first run Chilis (needing custom BFGMiner).

I have one chilli for sell

I have one chilli for sell

Do you have it in hand?  Where are you shipping from?

EDIT: Picture too would be helpful.

I would be happy to take unwanted chillis, But paying in fiat

thanks. I got it working replacing the FTDI driver with a WinUSB driver from the cgminer recommendation deep on the forum.
I will post the link when I find it again.

Once you install the FTDI driver you can use zadig to swap it so you can swap between the 2 mining apps.

I've been dealing with MrTeal directly to get some of these to the UK for use. After a costly £310 customs charge, I finally have them the way I wanted them. I bought 4 in total, but wanted to see if these coolers would work so only bought 2 for now. The coolers work pretty well actually, the come with back-plates, and I just reversed the screw mounting.










Would definitely order more if given the opportunity. Great board, great design, great people to deal with. Thanks again

Next up, taller standoffs so I can fit some heatsinks to the underside of the board - they sure do get pretty hot !!

[Olly_K]

getting a few questions via PM so though I would post here again.

The CPU cooler I'm using is a "Enermax T60-VD Vegas Top-Down CPU Cooler"

Pics of the underside of the board and also a closer pic of the mounting method. Just 30mm M3 bolts with M3 flange nuts:

Hi everyone! First post outside of newbie section. Need a little help with a chili. Ive read through this whole thread a couple times and still can not solve my problems. I left out configurations since I have 2 60ghz singles and 1 working chili so all is good there.  

Basically I have 2 chili's, the first runs great (after the 7&8 led's finally stop, sometimes blink for hours.) The second is my concern. When I plug it in LED's 5,6,7,8 come on and stay on for about 4 seconds, then LED's 1 and 3 come on (for 2 or 3 seconds), after that #7 just sits and blinks very slow about 2 sec. lit up 2 sec. off… Eventually #8 lights up and they both shut off. I guess this is a normal led routine other than very very slow. I have flashed "both" to the 14d I think, no changes. Hashes about 9 ghz? (and check this out, when first plugged in, no LED's will come on and start their thing until I physically touch the LED lights with my finger. wtf..lol)

Any suggestions would be great!

Thanks in Advance!!

I think 14e is the newest FW. it is on here somewhere but i am not sure which page. what size of a PSU are you running and what all is on it besides the 2 chili's?

[i3luefire]

BTW everyone. i hooked up a Chili today with the 12v and gnd swapped. we were trying out a setup where all the PSUs were hooked up with combined 12v rails. we plugged in the stupid cpu 12v supply without swapping the polarity. it fried 2 PSUs. but the Chili seems to have survived somehow. now we can only run 11 of our 13 miners until we get our new PSUs from newegg. be careful out there with the cpu power plug.

Hi all,

How much wattage is each chili pulling for you guys?

Hi all,

How much wattage is each chili pulling for you guys?

im getting about 220w per miner at the wall for the ones over 35gh.

I have 2 1000w PS's, the fans hardly even have to spin up. I can swap the good one with the bad one with the same configuration and its the chili. Has no one heard of the LED sequence running super slow?

Sounds like a 1000 watt PSU can safely handle 4.

I'm running 4 on an 850W HEC supply (http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=7621664&CatId=2534) I got for $30 after MIR, and each is running 35GH/s plus. They'd actually be running faster, but they're in my office and after a weekend of 800W of heat load in a small closed room it's going to be 35C in there when I get to work on Monday.

[Choadmeyer]

My chili is running at 28.5 GH/s at 63C using BFGminer 3.6 with an Evo 212 cooler. I have a high speed duct fan blowing on both bottom and top of my setup.

Fishing for any ideas to help me step my speed up (seems like I'm missing out on at least 5 GH/s).

Thanks in advance people.
