Cube with "X" on a chip

January 08, 2014, 02:24:11 AM

Just curious, how many people have a cube with an "X" on a chip, and does this affect resale value on these? Not planning to sell, but if I do I assume I would need to disclose that to the buyer as a defect, right?

It's weird, I have a single "X" on one row, but I don't remember seeing it the other day. My hash rate seems healthy, and efficiency looks good. If hash and efficiency are good does a bad chip matter? Trying to find out what it all means...

Typically, in the asicminer interface, one of the asic chips is not functioning properly.

You're probably losing 333mh/s on that. not a big deal in the grand scheme of things, but not perfect...

Did you take your cube apart and double check the heat sink screws and the blade alignment with the chassis?

Just means you have a dead/malfunctioning chip. As long as it returns the guaranteed 30Gh/s total that is all they have to, anything else above that hashrate is gravy at overclock.
