ANTMINER C1 Discussion and Support Thread

[syscooling]

I received both my miners today with the OLD wiring harness. Can Bitman and Syscooling confirm this wiring harness is NOT going to blow up any boards in the C1? So I still have to open up the whole unit to connect the harness.

Syscooling still recommend opening their own pump up to clean it out from dust?

Well，I could just suggest you test the wiring harness and pump before assembly to make sure they work well.Kits of the first batch have been out of customs,we couldn't recall them and replace.But I think you need't worry about it that much,actually we received just a few cases of first batch that have problems.

[syscooling]

Two things:

1)  After less than 30 days, one of the Syscooling pumps died on me this morning.  I came down for breakfast, and the case fan was blowing at max.  I quickly realized the pump wasn't running and killed the power.  Powered on after a few minutes, the pump ran for a couple of minutes and then stopped again.  I power cycled one more time and the pump didn't try to run at all. Any thoughts or just RMA? 

Edit:  This evening I powered on the miner/cooling system again and the pump ran briefly once again and then stopped.  I also noticed a very slow leak now...so I suspect the coolant is leaking into the pump electronics and creating a short...thoughts on how to correct or should I just RMA?

2)  I ordered two C1 -B2s on the 14th and 15th respectively -- no tracking numbers on mine either, but much as in an earlier post, I'm not too worried.  I may get the miners before BitMainTech posts the tracking numbers.

The working temperature of the pump:  ambient: lower than 50℃，coolant:lower than 60℃.If your pump doesn't cause by this problem,you could email us with detaied information.

@opentoe are you running the b2 miners with the cooling kits included?

@dsheaffer is the pump failing etc the b1 equipment? Thanks..

@chowminer.. I think about 1 I ordered two from a diff place only charged me 14$ a piece shipped from LA

I'm sure bitmain will deliver just a question of when (prob quick i.e. china factory) but like dogie say theres prob a short que of like 100-1000 they are probably pushing like 20-50 units a day maybe a little more (who really knows?).

REgardless I have been sitting here telling myself I would much rather wait a few days with this thing in china and them testing it then me rec. faulty product with all of the nightmares these other people have been xp with b1

now im praying my fans are not gen1 harnesss. Jesus i wish i just stepped up to the s4.................... why did i skimp over a few btc. The s4 coupon is 400 for gods sake.... and ive heard theyre shipping now no delay..

My moneys on this batch just appearing w/o tracking info. I've only ordered twice from bitmain but bot were 3 days to northern west coast. So it may be there tomorrow or sometime next week :/ I want to mine....

Yes batch 2 C1's. All came with old wiring harness. Have not hooked up  yet.

[ChineseSavior]

im scared to death to get this thing now. im never going to be able to leave it for more then a few hrs... if that... Man I wish I could just get my account credited towards an s4 or something.

gosh i just hope this thing works... and comes... will be curious to see who the first out of like the 5 or so of us that have ordered the b2 w cooling or b3 w/o if the pump fails. grrr now i have to go buy  a multimeter too according to syscooling to ensure i do not fry my boards urgh...

 

oh god the b2's have the old wiring harnes incuded.. grrr.. so what am i going to have to do/buy to make sure i do not fry?

[opentoe]

I don't want to nag on Syscooling, but one of my Dads pump is starting to fail and it has only been running 8 hours. Making a real loud screeching sound. Bitmain, please speak with Syscooling who is killing the C1 with the cooling system. I'm actually looking to buy other more reliable pumps from frozencpu.com so my C1 won't blow on me or die prematurely. I'm really disturbed by the situation with the bad harness and low quality pump.

1) Where on the pump specifically? (picture will help)

2) Units are being prepared over the weekend, first ones going out on Monday and will ship over the week.

[ChineseSavior]

nice.... Next week...

So what are we looking for on this harness?

[dogie]

Nothing, old one was replaced and (I've been told) they get tested before shipping now.

[ChineseSavior]

@dogie so he we hook this thing up without double checking it we should NOT worry about going down in a blaze of glory? (pun of couse)

[notlist3d]

Has anyone received their RMA parts from syscooling?  (They used EMS shipping on me)

I started talking to them on Nov 7th and its now Nov 22 still no replacement.   That is about half a month.  I had to buy adapter and pumps for each of my C1's to get up and running (In it around another 100 dollars).

Which pump did you finally end up buying and how are they working.

They are working great on pumps.  There could be a better place depending where you live, went to ebay and sorted by items in US (I am in US and did not want to wait for pump to come from china).  The pump with original set is 450 L/H. Make sure to go with 450L/H or higher, the one I went with was 500L/H.  I also went for pins so I could plug the 3 fans and pump into a molex to 3 pin power connecter.

Molex to 3 pin adapter (To use instead of syscooling harness):

You can check it if you've got the right adaptors, 3 pin fan and a molex to 3 pin output.

Im thinking in buy 3 of this... it can be a nice gift for xmas.

I will send you a PM to solve some questions i have.

[RealMalatesta]

Has anybody knowledge about how many coupons I can use per miner I order?

@dogie i woke up this morning having visions of children in china making our c-1's over the weekend with suicide nets out the factorys.

i quickly shrugged it off and said a quick prayer that there little hands are working fast enough to get our units out monday (cn time).

hopefully this isnt what really is happening. But I did see the vision

[Ski72]

@Ilan no do they do not

@s4 guy yes i really wanted one of these as more of a novelty thing for people to see etc like a model i just hope that i dont run into more headaches with the pump and order delay time..... hoping i get my tracking number tonight :/

@fatman in a little over 3 weeks i will have access to 50x50 data center space with 600 amp 240 box. I will be the only person that has the codes additionally I have already been informed I can put whatever systems I please in there no questions asked. (after explain to him they are research computers for an experimental banking networking he was then lost)

I will be ordering the 4x c-1 kit as Dogie posted and see if i can shake some magic up with it. Will keep you guys posted but will not have the power for 3k watts until a few weeks (2nd week of dec)

ill call the mailbox tom. n see if it came by accident like some ppl r saying they ship w no update

where are you located?

[DiCE1904]

For those of you buying other watercooling supplies. Can you give me a frozenCPU shopping list for what kind of fittings you are going to use along with the diameter of the tubing please.
