Hello , someone will have idea about what may be going to the board 11 which stopped working from one moment to another

I lost a hashboard a few days ago.  Today I got a chance to pull it from the heat sink and find the burnt core.  Originally I thought I could cut it out (like the old avalons).  Instead I popped out R44, I lost 2 extra cores in doing this, but at least I have an operational hash board again.  I hope this is of use to someone out there.

Dogie, Do you have any info on the USB adapters that could be used with the Tube ?

I will not buy a Prisma, but I would like to use the USB adapter + Cubieboard with my two tubes.

Potentially in my Prisma guide if it comes with a USB adapter.

Pulled link as requested. I was wondering do you know if  FC plans to update the controller's software. To have an auto pool switch option like the antminer s-3's have?

You can do it manually via BFG proxy if its critical for now

The BFG proxy starts showing "error from bufferevent" and crashes the controller.

Known bug, only solution is to hard reset BFGMiner and the controller for now.

This doesn't occur with other pools? O.o
Any idea what triggers it?

I don't have more info on it as I didn't use BFG as a proxy, have to wait for others to comment.

Network solving a block it seems.  Had to switch to Ghash.io because of this.

I am having a problem all of a sudden..my be controller is not being recognized but the lights are coming on..? I have reset it and tried manually setting the address but I am still having no luck. Is it possible I fried this thing? It gets hot. I appreciate anyones feedback.

EDIT::I am getting blinking lights when eth is inserted..? I cannot find on network however..?

I had mine do the same thing...controller was dead for me. You should try and get one of those USB adapters and use a Pi. The BE controllers are junk.

I have installed my PRISMA via BE controller
I have done all settings to the controller, changed gw and primary dns to the IP of the router, changed controller's IP to the router's class
Everything seems to work fine, I have entered the BTCGUILD stratrum server etc.

problem is : my PRISMA is running at 550 GH/S only
Why ?

Hey dogie great guide as always

Did anyone manage to find quieter fans for these? The standard one on my tube is driving me nuts

Quietening kit. Same for the Prisma as well.

Thank you very much . Do you recommend one on the front of each tube in place of the standard fan or both on one tube front and rear?

You might *just* be able to get away with one if you have a cold ambient but its really pushing it. I'd recommend two (one front one back), you'll get similar airflow but an acceptable, lower pitched noise.

That's great thanks very much, I've ordered what you recommended ( from ebay though as I had some paypal funds to use up ). I'll let you know how I get on with them.

Is there any way of telling operating temperature of these do you know? I can't see it in software stats anywhere.

No that's why you have to be careful, BE200s don't have onboard thermal sensors.

Ok thanks I thought that might have been the case.

RE your PM about airflow, anything we put on will be less than the stock as the stock prioritises low temperatures over anything else. That doesn't mean that our solution isn't sufficient though.
