I'm feeling stupid today.  I just added two more boards to my rig. I now have SlotsS 0,1 4,5 8 C occupied. Oddly, the board in Slot 1 is grossly under performing: speed:4345 noncerate[GH/s]:151.183 (1.779/chip) hashrate[GH/s]:163.407 good:10560 errors:484 spi-err:3 miso-err:21 jobs:375 cores:84% good:79 bad:3 off:3 (best[GH/s]:160.073) Sun Dec 29 20:13:30 2013 0: 770 25.383 26.678 1773 67 1 4 14 1 1 (1.586/chip) 83% 1: 220 6.242 7.621 436 39 1 1 4 0 1 (1.248/chip) 59% 4: 825 32.184 33.812 2248 60 0 0 15 1 0 (2.011/chip) 87% 5: 880 29.750 32.597 2078 104 1 0 16 0 0 (1.859/chip) 87% 8: 825 27.287 29.204 1906 89 0 16 15 0 1 (1.705/chip) 86% C: 825 30.337 33.495 2119 125 0 0 15 1 0 (1.896/chip) 85% this is a V2 motherboard any suggestions as to what to do? i looked through past posts but it literraly made my head hurt. |

Apologies if you have already tried this, but does every card underperform in slot 1 ? Can you shuffle around to put that current card in slot 1 closer to slot F ? Do you *HAVE TO* have something plugged into slot 1 ? |

I thought that i read that on the v2 motherboards you had to populate them in order, but if it works moving it, what the heck. |

Ordered a new kit and expect it today. I assume it will be a V3 M-Board. But it's unclear where to find an image file for V3. The OP just lists V1 and V2.
Anyone know?

If you find one let me know where to get it.., so I can host it. Only have V1 image so far. |

Unable to Connect via Wireless/Rig Not Mining
So I just restarted the stratum proxy to change the pool settings (while the rig was running; not sure if that's a problem), and the admin page froze. I tried reconnecting through my browser using the bitfury's IP address, but it wouldn't connect. Everything was working fine up until this point.
I rebooted the Pi, checked ifconfig, and tried to connect to the IP address again. Still nothing. I shutdown the Pi, removed the wireless dongle, and restarted everything. Still didn't work. After plugging the dongle back in, I pinged my gateway IP manually from the Pi and it went through fine, but my router isn't recognizing the Pi as being connected. And the rig still isn't mining.
Could someone please tell me what I did, or what I can do to fix it? Thanks very much.
EDIT: Reset my router, got it working.

Hi there, I'm having issue with my rig dropping hash rate almost daily. I have v1 motherboard with 8 hash crds, 2 hash cards per bank. It will hash at just over 200 Gh/s. But once a week it drops to 35 GH/s and I have to restart using bitfury home page. Now it appears to drop daily. I have 6 arctic fans running , 3 above the boards and 3 at side. It's more annoying when it drops while I'm a sleep or at work. Has anyone got same problem? Anyone got a solution?

Theres a decent chance your cards are wobbling due to the fans. Make sure they do not shake around. |

Where are you living? The recent increased temperature causes some cards to "drop off" even though they had been running for weeks without issue. I dropped the speeds down a little bit on the trouble cards and they are fine again. I also have small heatsinks on the backside of the vrm. |

I'm based in Scotland. I have been thinking about purchasing aluminium heat sinks but it's next to impossible to get. I have done very little with regards to software. I bought a ready made kit of one card and slowly built up. I have therefore no meddled with the software. I wouldn't know how to access the software never mind what I needed to alter.

Theres a decent chance your cards are wobbling due to the fans. Make sure they do not shake around. This. V1 motherboards are really terrible for this. My solution is threaded 3MM rod through the heatsinks I have on each board and then to an anchor. This maintains spacing and the anchor keeps them vertical. Others use 'peanut' packing foam. Others duct tape. Buzzdave suggests laying the rig on its side such that the boards rest on the surface holding the rest of the rig. Whatever it takes to prevent those cards from moving an iota |

Thanks to all that have replied to my query. However before I could act upon the advice, the hash rate has started to drop every ten minutes. I rebuilt the rig, I reformatted my sd card, rpi_v2 image copied on to sd card. I followed megabit power PDF file but when I start up the rig, I can't shh my raspberry pi. I have gone through my router and there is IP address for my bitfury, although it says not connected. But either way I can't shh the raspberry pi. Is there something I am missing e.g mining software. I read the megabig power PDF but all it talks about is download rPi_V2.img as my motherboard is version 2.1. Am I suppose to download bfgminer or chainminer? Please help as I am now running at 12 Ghs with 6 red bitfury asic, I'll never reach my goal of 1 bitcoin!

I'd recommend that you go with Chainminer V3. If you can't track it down PM me with your email addy and I'll hook you up. |

When you say "copied" to the sd card, what program are you using? Is the green light on on the rpi? Even if the mining software is missing you should still be able to ssh into the rpi. |

Hi there I used imageUSB software to copy rPi_v2.img onto my 4GB Sd card. There are 5 led lights , orange two green, red and final green. All four LEDs are on orange, two green and red, the first green flickers like data transfer and occasionally the fifth green led with light up for a second before going dark. When I slide in sd card with the rPi img, do I need to leave the rig running to load up img or as I assume, can start using raspberry almost instantly.
When I use ptty to ssh my raspberry pi. I get a black screen and cursor just blinks. Am I missing basic operating system for raspberry pi. I am assuming that rPi img would load the basic operating system.
