[Guide] Dogie's Comprehensive RockMiner New R-Box Setup [HD]

[Real-Duke]

Not bad! I sold my last 2 Boxes for 45 Eur/unit + 39Eur for a Corsair CX600M 2 month ago 
The time for this little ones are looong over except you use them for BOINC

Just like the antrun duke, I'm only in it for the fun of it. Going to see how far I can push the little rboxs for histories sake as I haven't read how high anyone has had them running stably

Never had much luck trying to overclock these miners! But tuned with some silent sharkoon fans you can put them in your bedroom for mining. The sound is like an air condition

Funny you should say about the fans I was wondering about them. I see they are connected to a 3pin terminal it only use 2pins (+/-) is the third pin for pwm signals?

Have you got a link for fans? What temps are you getting (with ambient temp taken into account)?

[Real-Duke]

Sorry but I haven't any photo and can't remember correct 
Should be 70mm fans from sharkoon 21db, miner temperatur between 50-54° in an ambient of 20° (https://www.amazon.de/Sharkoon-System-Fan-70X70X15mm-Geh%C3%A4usel%C3%BCfter/dp/B000EIV63I/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1465744234&sr=8-2&keywords=70mm+sharkoon)
Fans spinning on constant speed, no PWM possible

That's great thanks Duke. I'll see what I can find

I am going to pick one of these up off eBay (I know they are way out of date). But I wanted to know a few things first:

• Do they have Variable Speed fans that run faster/slower depending on temperature?
• Are they Plug-and-Play with BFGMiner on Windows 7?
• What temperature do they typically run at?
• What is the HW Error percentage? My Butterfly Labs 60 GHz has about 0.60% HW Errors.
• How loud are they compared to a Butterfly Labs 60 Ghz ASIC?

Fixed
Yes
I dont think you get temp reporting yes
1% maybe, all are around th esame.
No idea

I have been running this for 2 years straight.. and it is still going!!

Does it report temp when using BFGMiner? I can only find on screenshot of BFGMiner running it and it does report temperature in that one. But maybe you can confirm this. Do you have to include any additional commands in the bat file to get it to be recognized by BFGMiner?

[Real-Duke]

I have used them pluged into a Raspberry PI running with Minera Soft.
You can easy change the configs and all rbox infos like speed, server and temps are visible.
Give it a try!
To make it more silent: I had replaced the original fans with some 20db silent fans from sharkoon. So I could let them running 24/7 under my bed

Thanks for this guide, and for all the fellow miner inputs here!

What is the start.bat code for mining with the Eligius pool?
