I had to change my psu, because 2x20A 12V rails (400 watt) didn't work. It was fine with 1300mV setting, but quit working with 1350 mV.
A 450 watt psu with one 37A rail helped, no problems for more than 12 hours with hashing around 200GH/s.
I really would like to know how much power is needed for 4 boards.

I have 4 boards and they pull about 400 watts total at the wall. |

Right around 200G (50G per board) on the BBFs. They have been very stable, running off a raspberry pi. Burnin has done a great job with all the hardware he has put together. Business dealings have been stressed but the actual hardware seems quite good. |

These is a lot of watt for 200 gh

Yes, it is a bit high but that is the max overclocking for the boards/chips so it is expected to be inefficient compared to more moderate overclock settings. |

Have you measured your consumption at default speed/voltage? If i'm not mistaken it should be 256 with 900mV, but don't take my word on that. |

Just did a quick test on my 4 boards: 256 Mhz, stock mV = ~160Gh/sec @ 235w (1.4w/Gh) 278 Mhz, 1380 mV = ~200Gh/sec @ 383w (1.9w/Gh) Measured at the wall using a kil-o-watt. Power supply is Corsair AX860. I know the firmware I am using is converting those clock and voltage numbers (as it thinks it is talking to an avalon board) but the overall Gh and power numbers are accurate. |

I have one of these that I've just sold. I had been running it on a raspberry pi and getting 46-48 GH/s, but my buyer wanted to know if it ran on windows (to save him ordering additional hardware). So while I'm waiting for the courier pick-up, I've been fiddling with zadig, uninstalling drivers for unknown usb device in device manager, running zadig again etc and eventually I got it working. Bizarrely using the same settings as I had been using on the raspberry pi (getting 46-48 GH/s), got me about 48-51 GH/s when I was running on a full desktop on windows 7 and the standard cgminer 3.60 build. My settings were: cgminer-nogpu.exe -o [pool details] -u [pool username] -p [pool password] --avalon-options 115200:32:10:47:260 --bitburner-voltage 1300 This is using my bitburner fury with the firmware "as shipped", i.e. I have never updated it. Not sure why the host should make any difference to hashrate, and not sure if it's a difference caused by OS or by hardware (desktop vs raspberry pi). I just thought that this might be useful to others who have low hashrates on raspberry pi - I would have posted it in the "bitburner fury hashrate protection" thread, where most of the bitburner fury knowledge has ended up, but it has been locked.

Cryptx,
I have one board that is only hashing at ~12Gh/s, I tried upgrading the firmware, CANBUS chaining it to another board, and a variety of cgminer versions, nothing changes. Of the 4 boards I received, 3 hash all at around 45-50Gh/s depending on my settings, with a 4th 'dumb' board only hashing at a measly ~12Gh/s (maybe faulty chips?)
I emailed you twice in the past two weeks, but still no response back. I received the hashrate protection after emailing you once before (thank you for keeping your word on that), however since this board is WELL below the 40Gh/s minimum advertised, I would at least want a refund for the value of 3/4ths of the ~700 Euro I paid for the faulty board. Please help me rectify this asap. Otherwise, the boards are working well, even though I don't even know how you could even go above ~52Gh/s per board without it becoming a fire hazard and frying the chips.

Can you please elaborate how to get them running under windows? what actually should we do with zadig? |
