Got my first cube this morning. I have chips 81-88 not working. (half the bottom bank are x's)
Is there anything I can do about this? My PSU has plenty of power (750w, 55A on 12v) and they're the same in low and high clock modes.
I've found that some of the "mini blades" inside the cubes sometimes come loose in transit, they're not held in place well enough for a bumpy journey. So if you can, open it up (carefully) and make sure the mini blades inside of the cube are properly seated and then let me know how you get on. No, looks like a dud blade. I've opened it up and re-seated all the blades. I also swapped the blade positions round and the eight 'x's have moved to a different line, so it's definitely the blade and not the controller. Sorry about that gh2k, I've asked yxt what the procedure is in this situation - will be in touch when I know. |

Well got my Cube up and running. Eventually.
Seems it doesn't like proxying through my OpenWRT router, works OK through MinePeon on the Pi. Seem to go SICK every time I try High speed mode, too. Which means power cycling it, because otherwise it sticks with all Xs.
Edit: I think it's a power issue, the cube is pulling more than 30A, because my bench supply won't power it. Running the other two Blades and a Jalapeno should be possible with 75A on the 12V, but apparently something is going on...
More investigation required...

Cube received this morning, just after 8am - thank you very much! Running just short of 32Gh/s on Low. It's already been said, but a couple of the cards had come loose slightly. Also, just about every heat-sink screw had to be tightened, although no screws had fallen out. Nobody should be putting power onto the units until they have first checked them. It might take 10 mins, but it's worth it. https://i.imgur.com/mlc0GK2.png |

Mine seems to be running now OK off an old Dell PSU. Still needs a cold restart after changing any settings. It also still dies on High, but I think that's a limitation of the PSU which only has 18A per rail. More PSU investigation required.
Also noticed the cube works better on Slush's proxy than off BFG' one which is opposite to the V1 Blades I have.

You should set a delivery deadline, shipment to you will be re-posted if received before x:xx pm.
really appreciate your efforts, but please don't rush in the traffic, would hate to see you have a traffic collision.

Hi,
ive been looking at power supplies for these cubes.
A decent PSU is a bit expensive. im using the Corsair Cx750M £68. its upto the job for 2x non overclock cubes and its quite.
I have been told i can use the PSU on my Asic power backplane PSU. which is a1000watts.
Backplane psu is £24...pcie extension cables £1-3.
use PCie extention cables from the screw headers on the backplane to your Cube.
i will confirm on the weekend if it works.

You're lucky. My CX750 doesn't power one Cube. |

my ones the module version maybe it makes a difference but once i have them wired to the asic backplane i wont be using the cx750m plus its cheaper to buy a backplane with psu then by a pc psu..
