Haha! Gold! Fair enough then mate. Still though, you've done pretty well since then. In fact awesome progress. Ur current release is sweet as and runs like a dream

Thanks  Grin
On request from BakSAj I am trying  Roll Eyes (not yet working) to compile a version under cgminer 4.6.0

Good luck, it might improve performance on services such as nicehash with new version of cgminer thru the extra-nounce bugfix and many more.

Guys, we really need to work on adjusting the voltage. Innosilicon is selling same machine with 110 Mhs hash, I bet its done with voltage/Mhz settings. Voltage is probably done manually on hardware/blade. See page 25-:

I'm sorry for changing the subject. But I am having an issue setting up my A2 Terminator! I am going to pay anybody who is willing to assist me in getting it running...

I have already started a thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=782996.msg8838084#msg8838084

Basically my issue is that I cannot find the miner when i point a browser to it. My ip is 192.168.0.xxx format while the miner is 192.168.0.xxx...I have tried all the changing IP's on my PC and modem and nothing has worked. You will find everything I have tried in my thread.

AGAIN I am willing to pay for assistance in getting it running! I am sorry to the OP for posting this here but I really need some help because I have tried everything I know of to change the network IP's to match and it still wont find the miner.

Hi mate, the easiest thing to do is use mylanviewer its free trial and it works awesome and easy to use. Give that a whirl before paying anyone.


Now how can we up those voltages. Hehe

Thanks for the kind words  Grin. You however link to the old image. This is the link to the new and better one https://mega.co.nz/#!GNMQAIrb!IjkpJvS36O29AfOKc_jR9aezdH5yZnHMiGY5mIGyypk.

emdje,

Just curious, why don't you use lighter version? about 3gb..

Your version seems to be over 7gb+ (http://bosu.com/innosilicon_A2_192_168_1_168.img.zip)

Because this is the version that seems to work best for me. 'Don't change a winning team', they say.
I will look at your suggestions though  Smiley

emdje,

i believe same as before: username: pi password: innosilicon

btw, i loaded up your image and they indeed rock! both miners are hashing stably.. batch1 doesn't take higher values due to dead cores so i could go as far as 1220.. however batch2 can go up to 96mh easily... good job indeed!

When I took my blades apart I noticed that one of the chips had not much, if any, cooling paste on it. The Silicone pad was scorched because of the heat. When the blades heat up the amount of work that is sent automatically reduces. I don't know if an permanently overheated core are recognized or are regarded as dead. Might be worth to have a look. take it apart, clean the thermal grease of, apply new good thermal grease between the chips and the silicone pad. Apply grease between the silicone pad and the heat-sync as well. Off course not to much, the less the better, but enough to make contact. It might work it might not.....

Did you gain anything by reapplying TIM? Less dead cores, cooler temps, better OCing etc?

I did not notice anything different in the amount of course (sometimes I have all of them sometimes I 'miss' one or two).
I did notice a slightly lower temperature, the cooler it runs the better the OCing.

good suggestions... i noticed A2 chips are not heat friendly, they do tend to perform better in cooler environment.. unlike KNC Jupiter back in the days the higher the temp the better they used to run..

Hard to say, depends on if you have a first or second generation A2 terminator. If you have one of the newer versions you might get another 10 MH/s or so (they seem more optimized). If you have one of the older versions you I believe you are pretty much at your max, maybe gain just a few MH/s. What are you running it on now?

Im sometimes getting overheat warnings like BA13 cs:3 A:8 -C:432 (54-54-54-54-54-54-54-54) | (5s):15.13M (avg):14.28Mh/s | A:205920 R:311 HW:13234 WU:53.9/m | T:52C*Hot*(25-25-29-30-29-29-38-52)

Seems like some chips are not covered with thermal glue as emdje mentioned. What is the process of unbundling the blade and heat sink?

The blades can be taken apart with a Philips screwdriver. Make a rudimentary picture of the blade on a piece of paper. Place the screws on the picture where you took them from, so that everything goes back where it came from. Make a mental note of how fixed text screws were so you don't crush the chips when you place it back.
Apply thermal grease on the chip. Not to much! Put grease on the entire heatsinc and place the silicone thermal pad on it.  Now you can screw it back on. Do the same on the other side between the heatsinc and the pad. (on that side I believe you can pit grease right on the board but not shure about that). I gave pit small heatsincs on the voltage regulators as well.

Hope this helps.
