Are you cooling your board properly? Mine sits in a garage where its around 10 degrees and 2 x 12mm fans are working...
And what kind of pool are you mining on?
What kind of psu do you use?
I added two more fans. But IMHO it can be a cooling problem, because IMHO it should then start at high speed and throttle with the time down... But in my case it's always not higher than 30GH/s... The PSU should be also no problem. I'm tested on eligius.st and multipool.us How can i see if i have the last firmware? How can i see, how many ASCIS really working? IMHO there is something wrong wrong in the way cgminer used my settings. Because it's not changing the mining speed in any way. Can someone confirm that he can explicit affected the speed with --bitburner-fury-options ![Huh](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif)

It will recognise it but discard it... Use --avalon-options for now.

Pretty sure that's one of the perks (for them) of putting prices in BTC. Just saying ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Yes exactly! Miners return BTC not USD, and generally at a *mostly* predictable rate, so if they priced it in USD (say $675 or 499 euro) heck that is little under 1BTC per and ROI becomes just a little over 3 weeks - why sell at all? I've always bought miners with BTC based on BTC ROI, fiat price really becomes mostly irrelevant. I don't think the ~45 day ROI payoff on these Furys are unreasonable at all, and in fact for an IN HAND ASIC is really is a steller deal historically! (disclaimer: I bought an 8 board set as a no-brainer with the price "drop" using already-mined coins, so my view is a bit different than someone converting fiat>BTC to buy these...) I dunno. Just compare to ASICMINER cube. Same price, much more power draw on the cube for a fraction of the hashrate, and those are sold out! (disclaimer: I dump'd my blades a long time ago, just not worth the hassle/power draw, I guess I am biased...)

Received my order today, but I'm not happy with it: 1. USB port at one board has soldering paste all over it and USB plug does not fit it, I need it because I want to use the board alone without CAN bus 2. other boards hash at 33-38 GH/s (mean: 34.25 GH/s) mean ~42 GH/s with parameters "--avalon-options 115200:16:10:d:256 --bitburner-voltage 1230"I tried various parameter settings with latest cgminer from git ( https://github.com/ckolivas/cgminer) as well as the one linked in the instruction manual ( https://github.com/someone42/cgminer.git). so: one board unusable, others way below "46-52" GH/s ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif) this is not acceptable ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fdl.dropboxusercontent.com%2Fu%2F15485133%2FIMG_2958.JPG&t=665&c=8X2ci1PWEVi41Q)

Don't know, mybe goxed knows more ... Another thing: I flashed the firmware linked in the instruction manual on the asic-hardware.com. However, I'm not sure if this is the latest one. Also, I was using "--bitburner-fury-voltage" instead of "--bitburner-voltage" (see https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=294735.msg3364756#msg3364756) which did have no effect but also did not cause an error message. To further add to this confusion, the value that I specify does not show up in cgminer, it's always a lower value. E.g. "--bitburner-voltage 1230" results in - on startup: message "BTB0: Core voltage set to 1230 millivolts" - while running: values around 965mV

Looks like amateur hour...

this is what holds me from buying... cryptx you may want to ship preflashed, preassembled miners.. that would be a lot easier for all of us... Don't know, mybe goxed knows more ... Another thing: I flashed the firmware linked in the instruction manual on the asic-hardware.com. However, I'm not sure if this is the latest one.

I ordered the 8 board setup, and it includes a raspbpi with sd card and everything, only thing missing is a PSU...

Goxed, I am confused. Given the BioInfoBank labels on them, is this somehow related to what tytus et al have been building? I realize they are also working with Bitfury chips, but is the private label attributable to them, and if so how did it end up in a board in Belgium? By the way Fex, that soldering job is utterly hideous. I hope cryptx can replace or refund that board.

Okay so there are some chips which have Beta printed on them and there are some chips with Bioinfobank printed on them. Some people claim that the chips which have Beta printed on them have slightly better quality.

Good to know. Thanks. Now I'm curious to see what is printed on my BitFury chips on my Belgian boards.

I have two boards due Thursday. I was figuring on using the USB ports, and thus didn't order the CANBUS cable. Should I have issues with USB ports, is there a place I can purchase appropriate cabling (that won't require another international shipment to USA)?
