I did the hard reset thing, and no X's today yet I will be checking frequently. I have not modified any settings as far as clock or voltage goes. Its @ 250mhz voltage 0760 I dont overclock until the warranty expires
bitmain warranty emailed me this morning guess they found that post. They said unless I got it from bitmaintech or bitmain store on ebay the warranty would have to be handled by the amazon seller I got it from ths guy
www.amazon.com/shops/cryptocrane so i messaged him last night requesting a RMA have not heard back from him yet. Its the weekend. Hopefully will not see any more x's
One thing i did before hard reboot was fill in the top pool I had emptied the top 2 pools addresses and jumped to my third pool. When i switch pools i just remove the pool address and leave the username and pass for convienance. Not sure if that would cause a issue, i wouldnt think so but just in case, I filled in the top pool info.
So far so good like i said i will be keeping a very critical eye on it. But if I find any more X's And if the guy lets me return it I will be buying a S5 instead. He sells them for the same price
If those X's do come back what would be my next step short of a RMA? Thermal paste issue? I check underneath the miner and there is no puddles . Not a fan of opening the case up, yes I am that lazy haha.
What do you think thermal paste issue or potential leak?
Like i said so far 15hrs and no X's so hope it stays that way, hash rate has stabalized as well still wanders awider range than my S3+'s though. But it is averaging out correctly @ 1006.5 GHs avg. still technically not the 1008 Bitmain states is guranteed
not sure what they mean by that? if its not 1008 they what take it back? Pretty sure guranteed probably means something different in china than it does here in the US.
At any rate since I got your attention what is the best fluid for the miner, I got primochill in it now as thats what amazon had for a good price. But is there any specific fluid better than the others for some special cooling property? Or are they all pretty much the same deionized low conductive fluid with anti-microbial and corrosion resistance? Care less about Dyes i dont have any black lights and not going to buy one just to light up some tubing
I do got a flow meter coming with built in temp sensor and LED light, just so i can visuallly check things are pumping without having to focus in on the pump looking for movement.
Also if i do need to open it up
which board is board #2 if viewing from the front? second from left or second from right?
and any diagrams of the asic chips which ones are represented by those with the x's? ooooooox xooooooo
Like i said so far so good no x's yet just checked again
And what would be the science behind why a psu power down reset would make them disappear versus a reboot form the software panel? I tried that 3 times before doing the PSU reset and when i rebooted from the panel after 235-30 mins the X's kept coming back.
Does that indicate it was a software bug or something versus a hardware failure?
