Gutted mine didn't arrive today, DHL gave some crap on the web site:

Further Detail:
The shipment could not be delivered immediately

Next Step:
The shipment will be allocated to a courier for delivery in the following delivery cycle

So rang them up and the nice lass on the phone read out that the log said that it wasn't accepted.

Why don't they just tell the truth and say "couldn't be arsed"
 

when i got similar with an SP10, i called and told them i'd be there in 30 mins to collect it, complete with a copy of the waybill/invoice.
i collected it, when it would have been 3 days delay due to a bank holiday.

I did the same and was able to hash 3 days earlier

philipma1957: what is the temperature do you have on the sp20?

[bobsmoke]

Hello - Is 2.5.12 a stable version?
did you encounter any issues upgrading from 2.4.x to it on SP3x?

thx

Hi guys, SP20 runner here.

My firmware tab has changed to:

Current firmware version: 2.5.27
Latest available firmware version: 2.5.12 ?

Seems my current firmware has gone from the list, is the latest firmware a downgrade or an upgrade?

Peace

I never got the option for anything higher than .12 on mine.

Odd, I'm not near my SP20s right now, but the Sponds Technical blog says (dated 11th November, which is a good few days ago):

Version 2.5.12
Version 2.5.12 became the official, 2.5.6 removed and 2.5.13 is the latest experimental.
2.5.12 - different handling of BIST and Murata flow - improves stability.
2.5.13 - sets default (after factory reset) values to 1275/288 in SP3x/SP2x. Redirection bug fixed. Handling of ambient temperatures lower then 0c added.

How you got to .27 I don't know

How you got to .27 I don't know 

Yeah, it's strange. I only upgraded it a few days ago too.......

[ElGabo]

got my sp20E today.

dhl tried stinging me for 100usd more than the 200usd they did last time....

so far so good with the rig.

how many rigs does one need to purchase to qualify for a t-shirt

Buy another one and contact sales@ before. We'll ship a t-shirt.

Maaannnnn......

I just bought a half pallet and didn't got a shirt.....

Just a small update.

I fired up the whole lot.

Average between 1600-1710Ghs.

Running on firmware 2.5.33 test.

 Is SP20 only capable mining bitcoin?

[philipma1957]

philipma1957: what is the temperature do you have on the sp20?

give me a minute to do screen shots

here are all 4 units.  now with underclock I leave 4 x 300 = 1.2th or maybe 4 x 250 = 1th  but

I can manage the heat the sound and power use better.   A hundred or less in parts and this can run 5 months maybe 6 months before it is too hot in the Garage.

Ok i have no idea how to insert picture, but mine is


Temp: 23c / 72.66
Fan speed: 90
Start Voltage 0.69 / 0.69 / 0.69 / 0.69
Max Voltage 0.75
Max Watts 288 / 288 / 288 / 288

Mining rate atm 1598.04Ghs

i think i will need to find a good idea to cool the room more when i have my other units running.

Bobsmoke, I was speaking with SPT support about one of my power supplies which failed. Michael first updated the firmware to 2.5.12 then we started to debug the issue.
Since then (3 days ago) the miner is running stable (with a bad power supply) at half a hashrate .. but I could not see anything wrong with the update.
2.5.12 is as good as 2.5.6 which was the first firmware making my SP30 to run stable. Way better than those before which, in my opinion were pushing the SP30 above the stability limits.

The main update in 2.5.x is CGminer .. which is upgraded to V4.7.0, being optimized for the SP3x units by ckolivas. It has a lower size on disk and eats less processor time.
There is also a power supply limitation to 1250W output, but with different engine settings it gives out the same hashrate as before, when running the 1330W configuration.
The unit likes to run a bit hotter, make sure you still have the fans to 80% after the update (2.5.6 had them set at 70% by default, 2.5.12 preserved the existing 80% settings).

Else, I'm still waiting for an email from Barbara with respect to the PSU RMA which is not happening as quickly as one would imagine.
However the unit is running decently flat .. http://powerprice.info/SPT/graphic.php with rather significant deltaT at input over the day.

since upgrading from 2.3.46 to 2.5.12 my sp30 is unable to tolerate the previously acceptable ambient temps - even though its now december and considerably cooler!

i repeatedly requested a FW downgrade but after days of asking i simply lowered max watts and now get 4.1 instead of 4.5-4.6

if i push any higher i get thermal instability until sunset

YMMV

drop those settings


fan 90

try 0.69/ 0.69 / 0.68 / 0.68

max voltage 0.72

max watts 240/240/240/240

see what you hash with that.
