[Guide] Dogie's Comprehensive ASICMiner Tube Setup [HD]

[talbengal]

Ok try it with  Raspberry pi+ minepeon 3 working OK with --stratum-port 8335

[dogie]

Does anyone have a tube just sitting around gathering dust? I'm interested in getting one more hash board from a tube. Currently have 2 tubes but only 7 hash boards (sent one for rma, but that process is completely stalled). I'm not willing to pay much, but maybe we can work something out and I can help de-clutter your house. Please pm me if interested.

I've got a fully operating Tube if that helps, would be sold though.

If you'll sell me the tube for .3 BTC shipped its a deal.

Thats 20% the $/GH of an S5, doesn't really make sense to sell.

[dogie]

Well
stratum-lb-usa48.btcguild.com - this one was working now not working
I try stratum.bitcoin.czagain and everything is working OK again.
Thank you hedgy73!

How come this is the only one that work?
Are there any more pools that work?

BTCGuild, GHash and BAN are the main three.

Your controller will restart every ~3 minutes when its not connected to a pool, that's standard.

[talbengal]

Thanks that will explain it.
stratum-lb-usa48.btcguild.com stop working
stratum.bitcoin.cz is working
But now I set it up to connect to Raspberry pi+ with Minepeon 3 on and all working OK.

Thought maybe you weren't using it anymore, in which case it would make sense.

Hey thanks for this I got my tube setup and everything is swell.

I want to water-cool my tube, I know this is unnecessary and probably a bad idea but humor me.

It seems like most water-blocks are designed for CPU's or graphics cards, is there a pre-existing solution I could put on the opposite end of the fan to draw some of the heat into water?

I've been looking for 120mm case fans that might have a copper plate on the back and a water reservoir but cant find anything like that.

I was even thinking about running a copper pipe through the hollow center and stopping just shy of the fan, and attaching the other end to a cold water source.

What do you think?

I think don't bother really. The amount of heat transfer you'll get from hot air to an improvised block will be minimal. If you want more cooling, add a second fan. If you want quieter cooling, get 2 Corsair SP120s.

Hello

I hate to ask because i feel like i'm simply passing over this info somewhere...

I ended up getting reimbursed an asicminer tube for another miner that ended up being screwy. I had too purchase the block erupter ethernet controller separate. So I ended up with only 3 UART cables and not the extra 4th cable that would go to the controller.
Which leads too my question: Can someone direct me to a website/store that sells the UART cables? (or something that works the same) I can't seem to find anything or maybe i'm just overlooking something lol.

What you're looking for can be found on Ebay or similar under "XH2.54 3pin". Its a relatively common cable but you might have to buy a pack of 20.

hello again

i purchased this cable that you suggested: http://www.ebay.com/itm/181435479007?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

and after several tests i have determined they are not working with the board.
the only visible difference ive noticed is the new cables seem to be a smaller gauge than the cables that came with the tube.
can you telll me if i bought the wrong thing?
anything helps!

At this point only Asicminer could really tell us. Its the same type of connection as the original cables, or appears to be.

I'm not an expert with tubes but as far as I understand that cable is just very simple uart cable.So it must have tx,rx and gnd.With multimeter you can easily figure out which pin is ground (in controller and card). Connect with jumper wire or solder it.Then you have tx and rx left.Just try! There is two possible ways to connect them: other one works, other one doesn't.I don't think it could break anything.My thoughts, correct me if I'm wrong.

[WBF1]

I think I have a spare. Send me a pm.

Any chance these tubes Can be used in other pools Then the ones listed?

I Got 4 of Them not running and would like Them to run again. But im no fan of slush or the other big ones

Was looking for some pool names that works with that proxy guide you made

I asked both ck and kano but seems i cant use their pools either

Hi;

at leadtek platinium 1150 i got
229W at one board with fan
so D750 is not so efficient
