Fury/Blizzard tuning and mods

[ahsbqt]

Hi guys, i wonder if you are runing this mods with the stuck power supply (The 5amp brick) or you are using other psu?

I haven't voltmoded yet, but I wouldn't run it with the stock PSU. It's close to dangerous even unmodded, gets very hot, at least the ones that I have.

I'm running my small farm from a 700w Seasonic ATX psu (2 rpi, 7 gridseeds, 2 Fury's 5x 120mm fans).  I never even used the adapters that came with my Fury's.

I'm running a few GAW Fury miners from this: supply, 12vdc, 30A, $26.
Below was corrected per posts by others:
The stock Fury at idle draws 22w or 1.8a, hashing twice that: 46w or 3.8a.

For power connectors I used these, cut off the PCIE connector. They are long and a nice gage of wire, I bought some others that were really trashy and tossed them. I crimped lugs on them but the power supply had a nice retention piece on the screw that should work well without lugs.

Fury draws at least 40W+ on an 80+ certified ATX PSU, closer to 50W on these "industrial" types that are less efficient. ~4A at 12V.

22W might be when it's idle perhaps?

I had one that melted when I was testing it to see how bad it will handle the load.
Voltmodded fury with 7,5k resistor will draw between 60 and 70 watt.
That's 5-6A

Yes, they draw half power when idle. The fan itself should draw up to 8w depending on the build quality. I haven't found the data sheet.

My mistake both on idle and math, I have corrected my post.

The stock Fury at idle draws 1.8a or 22w, hashing draws: 3.8a or 46w per measurements.

Thanks!

Would you mind updating the OP with this link for the "Link to thread" you've previously posted?

New link:  https://litecointalk.org/index.php?topic=20477.0

  Link to thread: https://litecointalk.org/index.php?topic=16301.msg180380#msg180380

Since Darkwinde updates his OP, it may make more sense to send folks there to get their binaries/help.

I guess I've been going to the new thread not realizing it changed from what I had in the post.

Thanks mate!

Averaging 3,200kh/s with 2 Fury's.  382 Clock, 300 Read Count.  Using current Darkwinde build.  31 hrs running.

I haven't tried different RC settings yet.

60 watts per Fury after putting all of the four fans on a separate power supply.  I had an old fan controller that lets me control RPM to cut down the noise.  One of the extra fans I'm using is a Delta that is (was) very loud.

[nst6563]

That's awesome.  I read that darkwinde was testing at rc of 270 but haven't seen results.

I would use that version but it doesn't work at all with manicminer pool which is where I usually mine at so I'm stuck with dmaxl's build of cgminer.

I'd like to get one miner that works for both gridseeds and Zeus hardware.  In tried building bfgminer with support for both last week but had no luck.  It would see the gridseeds but not the furys.

happydaze, is that with just cooling and new thermal paste?  Or did you also do the volt-mod?

Agreed - I've got a Fury arriving today.  However, BFGminer has been horribly unreliable with my Gridseeds and I can't root out the issue.  Is there a way to get CGminer to work with both the Fury and Gridseed Orbs in the same instance?  Any advice would be appreciated!

BTW to people asking questions on the read count, I have done a bit of research in the driver with this and it really won't do much.

Read count is the amount of time before the driver requests new work (in milliseconds, so 300 RC = 30 seconds), so the chips don't sit idle. As long as you keep it under the amount of time it takes to cover a full nonce ranges (which is roughly 200k/chip_count), which for a blizzard is like 3,000 seconds so it would never run out of work before a block is found anyway. You also want it over 10 seconds because of the overhead in processing new work requests in the miner.

Read count would only have a performance impact if zeus decided to put like 500 chips on one machine.

My fury is gonna be here today. Is there a Darkwinde Windows binary?

If not which is best to use atm off windows OS?

Anyone have a default settings config for the fury? For windows binary. For scrypt. bfgminer.

OP has a link to DW's thread where he's got binaries linked.

hi guys.
i have a zeus blizzard runnin in hashra lunar controla with cgminer3.1.1

im getting 4,5 % rejects and 5.6% HW at 1.22mh ...
clock is at 328mhs chips set to6

anyone has the same issues?

yup. thanks, got it. Got the driver installed. Got bfgminer 4.2.2 on my desktop but no conf or bat.

Now I need a .bat or .conf default settings for the fury for scrypt.

That's volt modded.  Approx 7.67k resistor value. 1.4v to the chips.  And extra fans for cooling https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=644921.msg7354916#msg7354916
