Antminer S2 both found dead this morning

[fatso98]

I think my 2 antminer s2's overheated in the night reaching 80 degrees. There seems to be no life in them this morning. Is there a way of resetting them. I can't get onto the IP as the power supplies are not coming on.

Cheers

I believe antminer warranty is 3 month. So be quick..

Cheers I managed to sort it by pulling the jumper from the atx power lead powering it switching it off re fitting the jumper & all started fine.

What are the implications of unchecking the check box on the 80 degree cut out.

Has anyone done that?

It did not overheat. The power supply just could not handle the load and shut itself off.
It is a standard problem with the stock supplies: they run at the very very limit of their capacity.
You have three options to avoid this in the future:
1. Run in a cooler room
2. Slightly reduce the frequency, say from 196 to 190.
3. Upgrade to a more powerful PSU, say 1200W

Good luck!

Oh OK, cheers.

How would you reduce the freq to 190 & would this slow the machine down much?

take a look at this post: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=629997.0

It is a linear dependence on frequency, so if you lower from 196 to 190 you should at about 970 GH/s nominal

Brilliant thanks, I have just underclocked it to 193 for a start & will probably buy a new PSU...

Cheers for your help

After a day of running these with all the lowest pre set freq of 193 un #'d I seem to be having approximately 50% worth of duplicate blocks.

Can someone advise me what the following should be I currently have them set as follows?

Option 'freq_value'          '4f02'  #193M
Option 'chip_freq'            '193'
Option 'timeout'               '85'

Really appreciate anyone's help

Thanx

The timeout is too high. Change it back to 40 and it should be back to normal

Thank you that's awesome.
