[and once it is resolved, if it is something a user can fix through configuration, etc., could you post it on the zen discussion thread?  this'll help anyone else who may run into the issue and can ease support.  maybe zen gets a wiki or something for this type of stuff so eric doesn't have to sit on bitcointalk after we compile some good ones.

Hopefully the new forum that Josh mentioned last night will support both GAW equipment and their partner, zenMINER...

Guessing we will hear more about that in the coming days.

is there a zen miner Q&A  anywhere. I connected my miner and was getting 500+ KHS  when connected to them. When running free willey on my laptop 1300KHS then some.

Not an uncommon issue, but usually easy to fix! Shoot us an email at support@zenminer.com with the details of your issue and we'll get right on it.

But I enjoy you guys! Why do you want to see me go, Reactor? Just kidding... yes, of course we are simultaneously working on compiling a FAQ / troubleshooting wiki for our users to simplify resolution of simple issues. In the meantime, I am here to offer the same world class support that you'd expect from our friends at GAW!

I got my Black Widow up and running with zenminer today.  I had a brand new in box EVGA 1300w PSU I was going to use but it was DOA.  Luckily I had an 850w Corsair lying around so I used that instead.  Zenminer will take some getting used to, and I've seen hash rates from 10-25MH/s which is bizarre.  I have only had it connected for about 30 minutes or so.

Here's my link to my blog with the review on it.http://ryangrim.es/BlackWidowReview

There's a surprise at the end of my review in case you want to save a bit of $$$ on a GawMiner purchase.

Thanks!

This looks great, would be even better in HD, might even use it as a signature

Sorry, there is a window right behind that miner and the sky went black with an incoming storm so the light sucked.  It took me long enough to get the kill-a-watt screen to actually show up on my phone.

I did this in a super hurry to get it up and people could see.  It's not the quietest of devices ever, but it's going in our back utility room and then to our datacenter later once I get my other 2 in.

Im hooking up my black widow and it seems like the 2 8 pin connectors the are on the unit for the 8pin cpu connector not an 8pin pcie connector. I cant connect my cx750 pcie 6+2pin connector into the 8 pin connector on the black widow. Anyone else have this problem?

I just used 2 6 pin.  Worked great.

Got my Widow today, how excited I was until I realized it is DOA.... F***!

I am sure GAW will make it right for you. Just a thought what PSU are you trying to run it on?

Brand new Corsair CX750M, I also gave it a try on a RM750.  But PSUs are confirmed to be working... I gave both a try in one of my GPU rig to make sure I didn't get a bad one after the Widow wouldn't start.  As soon as I plug the Widow the PSU refuses to start, if I unplug the Widow the PSU operates as intended (did that with both PSUs), on the positive side the PSU can power the ZenController no problem LOL.

Are you jumping the green and black wire on the 24pin connector? Cause theres no motherboard you need to make the psu power on.

Yes, I'm jumping the PSU, as I said I can run the Pi just fine, I can also run any other hardware device on it (tried HDD and gridseed 5 chip without issues), but if the Widow is plugged into it it refuses to start.. this points to a short with the miner since every other piece of hardware I plug into it works as expected (including a GPU rig).

Hi

can anybody please help me I have just received my fury today but no zencontroller yet. I have no idea how to run it with cgminer3.1.1 I have the right driver installed but I do not know how to build a miner. when I had gridseeds I just watched some youtube tutorials and downloaded cgminer and it was ready to use. can anybody please help it will be much appreciated

[mbauman89]

Heres the black window connector-
Its goes U|SQUARE|SQUARE|U
            SQAURE|U|U|SQAURE



And my cosair 6+2pin connector-
It goes SQUARE|SQUARE|U|U
           U|U|U|SQUARE



The first U shaped hole on the black widow female wont let me plug a SQUARE into it that is on the corsair male plug

create a miner.bat file in inside the cgminer folder. Copy the code below into the .bat file and change the pool address, user name and password to match where you want to mine. Open device manager and find the com port of the fury, change the COM port in .bat file to match.


 Save and double click the miner.bat file.


example:
cgminer.exe -o stratum+tcp://us.clevermining.com:3333 -u 1KQxLLQNxgn2upd4TtGbtiRdm3f5UWC9k8 -p x --nocheck-golden --chips-count 6 --ltc-clk 328 -S //./COM4

If your on win 7 you will also need to download and install silicone labs CP210 drivers you might see an unknown device under device manager.

Yes, you can download them here. Make sure to uninstall the current drivers and click delete driver from device manager first.

The first U shaped hole on the black widow female wont let me plug a SQUARE into it that is on the corsair male plug

I accidentally plugged my CPU 8 pin plug into it and it went in just fine.  Then I couldn't figure out why my PCI-e ones wouldn't fit.  I think the female plug is actually a CPU 8 pin plug and not a PCI-e

Plug only the 6pin PCIe, not 8, it should start this way.

Maybe GAW could provide the Power Connection requirements for each miner?

Correct, that worked for me.

New user here. First post. Just wanted to extend my thanks to GAW for handling my order issue. It was slow (took 4 days) but theyre busy so I understand.

I had ordered a Fury and sent the BTC requested but Cryptsy(?) took out a fee and sent less than GAW wanted. I didnt notice until there was 10 seconds left on the order that I still needed to send 0.0005 BTC. Luckily they were understanding a let the remaining BTC slide and now I anxiously await my Week 2 Fury!

This will be my first ASIC, looking forward to learning all about this. Its been fun reading everyone experiences the last few days

Thanks GAW!
