Yeah... I saw that post earlier... so.much.work. Plus I don't have one of these, "ubuntu 12.10 32bit linux server install".

I hope someone can help me out on this. AFAIK, getwork proxy doesn't work on the win version of bfg

Houston we have a problem. My Blade is tossing up XXXXXXXX I wont get into too many details but this blade was sold working, user couldnt get it to work sent back and now its showing me all XXXXX. http://s14.postimg.org/c2bajzmnl/XXX.pngIts a V2 Anything I can do / test. I am using a PS setup that works with another V2 blade. Isn't the port supposed to be 8332? You have 8334. Perhaps that is the problem. I got the port from here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=368656.0Works on other miners? Even so will bad port or pool give you XXX instead of OOO? Any other suggestions or comments on this issue I am having?

After messing around with a bad cube and swapping around power supplies, I finally have a reasonably stable setup. I found that my new Corsair 850 has a weak or blown PCI port driver so I can't use both of the PCI outputs for powering two Cubes. Runs one just fine. Unrelated, one of my Cubes will sometimes power-up in all "X" mode. After a few extra power-ups (hot or cold, didn't matter) and it runs for days (so far).
I use one instance of mining_proxy.exe running on Win-7 and I have no efficiency issues. Blades are 99% efficiency, Cubes at 97+%. Each Blade and Cube has its own worker, that may be what makes it run correctly. I would like to use a Raspberry Pi to replace the PC as a proxy, but not if I need multiple Pi's for my current rig of 3 Cubes and 4 Blades.

First of all, a big thanks to Dogie for the setup guide. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) I'm looking for the collective wisdom on the best fan replacement for the Cube. I am looking for one as quiet as I can get it while moving enough air to run in overclocked mode. Specific model recommendations would be dandy (I read earlier in the thread that someone recommended a Scythe Gentle Typhoon model), but even knowing the minimum CFM rating it needs would be very helpful.

I have a problem with my cube
I have taken it all apart and tightened the heatsink screws and re seated the boards
It runs off a Corsair cx750 M
It will run for a undetermined time and re set itself ( Here a clicking sound ) Exact same sound as when it starts on
Normally runs for around a couple of hours before this happens
There are no errors on the chips all say 0000000
Running at 93% efficiency
I know a few of you are having the same problem but I couldn't see the cause or solution to this If anyone can help me I would be most gratefull

It runs off a Corsair cx750 M somewhere in this forum is a reference to certain corsair psu's having a power saving mode that cause's issues similar to this. I believe it was an AX model but may include the CS model as well. I know for a fact the GS800 works fine.

Someone stated it was a GS (Gaming Series) that did it; sounds now from your experiences that it could just be a bad Corsair power supply that's failing (the GS).

Anyone have ideas on a "slow" cube? Only getting 12-13 GH/s. Corsair 750 PSU. All heat sinks have been checked and snugged tight, all boards seated properly. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.suxorz.com%2Fimages%2F2014%2F01%2F14%2FZgimS.jpg&t=665&c=FRwdiAnZzwlkNQ) Could the DNS settings affect the hash rate?

You could substitute the 1st DNS setting for your *actual* DNS, but going through 192.168.1.1 as an intermediary is still NOT likely enough to cause the slowdown your seeing. I've gotten low rates like this before when there's a "bad actor" on the net - some device not playing nice on your local network. Have you don't the remove-all-other-net-devices check I recommended way back in the thread?

Have you don't the remove-all-other-net-devices check I recommended way back in the thread? It's on Windows Azure as well. Running these through an additional network layer like a cloud architecture would not be my first inclination. They are extremely sensitive to network environment - the slightest preferential QoS setting, noise on the lines, android-phone-hogging wifi, etc, can drastically cut into your hashrate. That said, I have been able to run 7 Cubes and 2 Blades over 500 MBs PowerLine modules from ActionTek, but ONLY after removing a somewhat misbehaving router that was sharing the subnet. It worked fine for other computers and such, but while it was on the net, not even direct wired Cube/Blade hashing was reliable.

Does anyone happen to know what would cause a cube to have really low efficiency all the sudden? I have two cubes, one on high with a 98% Eff, one will only run on low and that has a 50% Eff. The cube that will only run on low used to be around the 97% range, just now it is running very low and slow as well, ~ 26 GH/s. For a proxy i am using an RPi with minepeon, the power supply is a Corsair AX850.

You gotta give more information than that. If they are all configured incorrectly then that would explain why they are all having the same problem. To correctly troubleshoot, it is best to provide: a screenshot of your cube configuration(s), a screenshot of "ipconfig" when run in command prompt, and the batch file you are using to start the program. See the pictures below: ExamplesCube Config Screenshot: ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.brokejoker.com%2Fcubeproblem%2Fcubeinfo-bottom.jpg&t=665&c=epc0EAWCHvUmEw) IPConfig Screenshot: ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.brokejoker.com%2Fcubeproblem%2Fipconfig.jpg&t=665&c=9oxLB3S2RBcdyQ) Batch to run Proxy Miner: C:\proxyminer\mining_proxy.exe -o stratum.btcguild.com -p 3333 -gp 8332 If you are using a U-Verse connection here is my personal troubleshooting that I did: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=375093.0If you are on a WiFi connection with an Android phone, try shutting down all WiFi devices and only having the Cubes and the proxy connected to the network.

Random restarting happens under two conditions that I've seen - one power related (see the rest of this thread for ideas on how to solve power sensitivities), but the other is when the device is pointed to two instances of the same proxy if your network has any appreciable traffic. When it gets "confused" it tries the other proxy, which is the same if you're not running two separate copies, so then it stays confused, stops processing work, and then the device does the auto-reboot when it notices it's been without work. I solved this second type by running two separate proxies, and having it switch between the two. This approach works for two mining_proxy (slush's proxy program) instances, but if you're using bfgminer, I've found the better solution is to have the second pool point to a port that is not active (but is on a real machine on your network - it could just be the same ip address but a different, unavailable port, say 8425 or some such), so it bounces after enough time to get unconfused (a mere hiccup), and then it gets back to hashing.

I have also seen reports that a failing fan (not drawing enough power, I suppose) will cause random restarts - it's worth trying if you're out of other ideas.

Well, I can tell you that 60 CFM is not quite enough. Just wanted to share my experience with fan replacements. I put some Cougar Vortex HDB fans ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835553005) in my cubes, and they sure do run nice and silent but at the expense of pushing a lot less air than the stock fans. The cubes do run on high with these fans (I ran them for over a day like that) but it gets way too hot for my liking. I touched a thermometer to one of the heatsinks and it read over 90°C (ambient is ~21°C). So I put the original fans back in and they're running much cooler now. Whatever fan you decide on, make sure it has the standard three pins. Please share your experience.
