ANTMINER C1 Discussion and Support Thread

[notlist3d]

Possibly looking to get rid of my C1's.  Have one working great and one that is great for parts or fixing if you know what your doing - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1161199.new#new 

They have been treated great from receiving them.  Upgraded pump, molex to fan instead of bad harness.   Also always used coolant never used cheap liquids.

my syscooling pump is giving up,

It kinda get stucks when powering, it runs when it's empty from water.

Any sorts of fix maybe ? it seems that it get to little power maybe not sure.

No it is a horrible pump.  That is why I replaced it.  They dry tested all of batch one pumps.   They posted a video once to open it up and clean out the plastic from dry testing.   But I have a feeling cleaning it  out will not fix it.

i tried to open it, but there was some big chip under kinda hard to get into so just left it, it seems it's running now but yesterday it just gave up.

Might be a liquid cleaner maybe ?

I was looking at eheim pumps , i had a phobya but just sold it like 2 days ago thinking that the pump wouldnt give up so soon, so stupid of me

If you were really lucky the plastic chips from those syscooling stopped it temporarily.  It is few that this was the problem so if you are then truly lucky.

Run it and you will know if pump starts to go again.  Make sure to put some towels or something incase it gives out, make sure if the pump looses liquid it's not going to hit anything important.  Sadly those syscooling pumps when they go out some leak which is a pain.

But run it and see is only way to know.

i have 2 c1s and have problems like: one pump needs few on and off to start
                                                             pump A pumps less than pump B
                                                             closed the lid a bit tighter and the shit got cracked and now is leaking!
                                                             leaking starts where the pump and reservoir gets ''glued''
only pump problems!

Yeah well it worked like you said,  on and off many times. but yesterday it died completly. so i whent to the storage to check out  what really was the problem.
I checked everything and noticed smal bits of plastic on the circulation so i decided to take of the pump and start it hit no coolant. it was stuck still so whit a screw driver i started to spin the wheel many times , while it was off.


After some minutes of spinning i connect it to power whit very little water.

So the problem was that there was plastic inside making contact whit the pusching wheel, i had to make it a clean , had it spinning wet , not dry, but "oiled" in water.

Now it seems to start it even got more power spinning it was very slow before this, but i will still buy a pump, trying to find a cheap quality one whit 1000L/H as i think the perfomance of syscooling is around 150-200 and not 600 as they stated .


Sorry for misspelling my keyboard keeps getting stuck

The A pump you can try checking like i did, might be plastic inside stuck on the rotor, some models are different , mine had 3 holes so i could stuck into a fine screw driver to make it spin manually, some time it got very hard.

the B : i  think that you can glue whit a strong epoxy it should work if the reservoar is unglued , i still recommend buying new pumps you can maybe drive the two from 1 pump .


This syscooling are supposed to do 600l/h but some test i found shoed that they bearly do 200l/h.

Later today I will be putting a listing on market for those interested in parts.  I have one that run's 2 boards, was three until I decided to repaste them trying to get 4th again.   

But it has set on a table waiting for me to sell my working one as I wanted it as parts.  But I will be taking pictures and a little more detail (hopefully later tonigt).

[notlist3d]

And the parts system is officially up for sale - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1169446.msg12313300#msg12313300

Some parts like controller bitmain is out of so might be nice to have around if you have a C1.  Also upgraded pump nice to have with a C1.   Feel free to jump in thread and make an offer!

Also have an S4 running no problems for US$500 plus post

Pm me if interested

Hi,

I have some C1 bits on ebay UK atm. (05/09/2015)  - Hashboards, Beagleboard and cable kit.

I like the C1 - i have 1 running 24/7 on stock parts  - I wonder what the total sales were for the C1's - couldn't have been more than a few thousand units.

We will never know.  But I suspect it was a decent amount, no S3 launch.  But a lot of people wanted to try the water cooling (including myself).

Only way would be if someone went back and traced payments and made an estimate, but I don't see this happening.

[mavericklm]

any underclock and wattage numbers with this toys?

had one tested half year back: 820w with a dps 1200bb and 770w with some 4 ibm, dell psus 1psu/blade

want to underclock now and i don't know any numbers. maybe i can get 2*c1 at ~1.3kw and say 1.8th

Hi,

I have some C1 bits on ebay UK atm. (05/09/2015)  - Hashboards, Beagleboard and cable kit.

I like the C1 - i have 1 running 24/7 on stock parts  - I wonder what the total sales were for the C1's - couldn't have been more than a few thousand units.

I offered   C1 full kit  for more than a month for 0.9BTC. Nobody wants them.
I sold eventually 1/2 C1 in  S3 housing for 0.4 BTC and 2x blades for parts  0.2 BTC Total 0.6BTC

But I have left  C1 housing  for next water cooled S5 .

I sold all of my 6 x C1  upgraded for  air-cooling miners or parts only.  4x 1TH/s miner and 2x 500GH/s miner +4 blades
3.2+0.45+0.4+0.4=4.45 BTCtotal       0.74 BTC piece.

But left 6 x C1 housings with 12x water blocks( 25USD piece).
5pc of them are already water-cooled S5. A quiet winter heater.

[mavericklm]

are you using the waterblock from c1 or did you order a new one from syscooling?

[WinterRat]

Keep the water blocks for a watercooled S7  - if only that was possible!

I like the C1 -but turned into watercooled S5's 2.2+TH/s @ 1.1KW - just upgrade the radiator and pump would be good

I am sure the C1 blocks fit the S5 screwholes.

[Tupsu]

are you using the waterblock from c1 or did you order a new one from syscooling?

I used both. Some from first  C1 waterblock is missing one screw hole for S5 blade, if you want to put blades on both sides of waterblock.

[SunnyIgor]

you think someone will make waterblock for S7?
I impulsively bought one, and now I want to make my farm fully wattercooled.

I am selling all s3'3 and I am keeping my s5's as they are watercooled, also got a c1 wich will be getten rid sort or same you did Tupu.
keeping de waterblocks and selling boards with s5 heatsinks and controller, maby I can make 1 full C1 aircooled in s5 housing orso....

really hoping s7 board will fit waterblock from c1
