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

[dogie]

assuming 3 tubes can be plugged into one controller......does each tube need a individual IP, or just one for the controller?  

One for the controller

And 8 tubes can be plugged into 1 controller - if you wanted to.

hey Dogie,

there is "5V" marked on my controllers

new low voltage version or just a typo?

[bbxx]

typo

you can use 5V or 12V
but amperage must be at least 12W so 5V 2.5A or 12V 1A

This. More likely to drop out at 5V as well.

I can confirm that 3 tubes work off one controller. You just need to set them all to the correct ID's and chain them correctly and they'll come up.

chain them to eachother?

I am trying to avoid that.

I want to plug three tubes directly into the 3 ports on the controller.

quick question about the now assembled shipped ones:

do they come with cables eachself?
because i got only 7 long and 5 short ones in the controller box

You have to chain them, only the one port works [that I know of].

I can't confirm this.


btw there is another pool working with the BE Controller

I'm not saying it will drop out, but if people buy cheaper 5V PSUs then it is much more likely to drop out compared to 12V as you're much closer to the minimum vreg input. Pool is too small for me to list.

[bbxx]

have you any problems with controller ?

today i noticed strange thing
after software reboot (to clean some ----) i got all boards at test but 0 hashrate
only hard reboot of controller helped (power off and  power on)

maybe it is overheating? ambient temp 26 celsius

The pool is working stable for long time. Then pls change to "my favorit pools" or something, "Only the below pools.."
is wrong. And don't we want a decentralised mining environment

If people buy cheap 12V PSU it is more likely that they blow it up...closer to Vmax

Holy fuck, another way I'm clearly biased everything everything under the universe. Its not my favourite pools. Its too easy for the smaller pools to do devious things because they're too small to warrant doing anything against them if they turn sour. If I steal $200 from you, are you going to spend $2,000 on lawyers just to find me? No. If A pool steals $200,000 from clients, are they going to group up and spend $2,000 to find the administrators? They sure are.

There is a size of pool at which I'm not willing to put my name against and recommend because its my opinion that the risks become to great to users. I'm not going to expose my users to that risk.

[yxt]

relax...  

I can't follow your argumentation. 50btc, pirate both was big, anybody got BTC back?

yes the pool is small but online since 27-07-2011 without any payout problems (afaik)
I have nothing to do with that pool. I only wanted to point out that there are more pools working fine.

You wrote that the BE controller is only working with "the pools below", what is simply wrong.
So I thought you dont know about that pool, only wanted to help make your guide more comprehensive

How much airflow do you think these need? I have a quiet fan I attached, but the flow is very minimal compared to stock...

As much as stock provides really, remember we're removing 800-900W of heat with a single 120mm fan. Thats 3x what the Cube was doing and more than any other miner on the market. The Cube's stock fan is already on the lower side of airflow compared to what other OEMs are using, I really wouldn't recommend lowering it if you want your boards to last any amount of time.

Dogie can you send instructions on how to set up an 800 GH ASIC tube from ASIC puppy?

Thats what the entire first post is.

Can one use 12v 2A?  Or just stick with 12v 1A?  


essentially, will this work:  http://www.amazon.com/Amamax-Wall-Adapter-Power-Supply/dp/B006GEPUYA/ref=sr_1_6?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1411076631&sr=1-6&keywords=12v+power+supply

A device will only pull what is required. 2a is your maximum, so there is nothing wrong with using 2a adapter, as long as the barrel connector is the right size.

Its like saying can I use a 24W PSU when I only need 12W (which is what is happening here).

[cesarm]

Dogie, my tube came without the sheets of thermal compound, do you know what I can use instead ?
