Hello all -

Willing to pay small fee for help via TeamViewer and Skype

It seems that running 2 DICE is not working on my end.

What kind of power supply are people using??  I bought a 550W ATX, but am skeptical in using the 6+2 pin and/or 6 pin connectors. (it has 1 of each and I was using both to power the DICE???!!!)

Does anyone have a link or a way to get power bricks for the DICE??

Thanks again!! 

(I disconnected one DICE and the other one seems to be ok......??)

Maybe your power supply is not good enough or you have some problems with the connections.

What kind of power supply? Brand & type?

Any coupons on the horizon to bring the price down on these units?

@minerjones
The PSU n500 is only 400W at 12V line, so it may not be enough for the initial startup

Zich & 2GOOD:

I am using a 500W Lepa N500 ATX  http://www.lepatek.com/eng/product_content/1/1/1/#produkte

Using 1 DICE, I have the "regular" 6-pin PCI-E connected right now. It seems to be ok  

But when I try to connect the 2nd DICE using 6+2 connector, they both seems to drop out/ not work.

I have an extra 650W Thermaltake that I could hook up to the 2nd DICE, but this seems excessive as the units only use less than 150W each!!

Maybe I am missing something to do with the Voltage or the Amp draw, but again, I would think that a 500W ATX could handle this.

Also, could it be my USB hub???  It is a powered hub, but works without the extra power?!?

Thanks again!!

Hey,
1. What is written on 500W ATX envelope 12v how many amps?
2. Is this psu single or multi rail. You are overloading it for sure
Probably PSU  over-current protection kiks in or there is too big voltage drop in 12V output which dice is not able to handle
My advise for you is:

do not try anymore with this psu to power two Dice miners. You got lucky so far and there is no magic smoke yet   But if you continue to try the PSU will BLOW.

Send us picture of your psu stamp it says 12V Amps single or multy rail and so on

But once again do not push it anymore leave just one miner to mine

You can try to decrease chip voltage at the end. Not a good idea try with 680,670 and so on with just one miner at the beginning. Watch HW errors in cgminer. When they start to increase or if board does not want to start mining go one step backward. Doing this you will downclock the miner and decrease consumption - but HW errors will increase also. But as i said not good idea. If the PSU is 400W at 12V in reality you should not experience such problems

@minerjones

It is low cost psu so 400W is just a spec......

[loshia]

So mistery is revealed  

Thermaltake 600W has 2 x 12V rails right?
Are two miners working with Thermaltake 600W?
No?
Then most probably you are connecting both miners to 1 rail which is capable of UP 20A. Make absolutely sure that you are coneting two miners to two separate 12V rails
If you can measure the 12V rail voltage while miners are not working it would be great. You will know if it is a PSU or something else

[Zich]

So I ended up just hooking 1 ATX to each DICE for now.

What does everyone else use???
Are the other HEXminers run differently??

I am not sure about that LEPA, thermaltake is dual rail. So you need to hook 1 DICE to 1 rail.
Some PSU need load in +5V rail, you can hook the TPLINK there.

I always use single rails PSU(at least bronze)

[Zich]

Replaced the lepa with an Antec550W... 80Plus.
Hopefully this does the trick.

What is the type? Is it VP550F?
Such a waste, why did you buy another dual rail PSU ?

[Zich]

Please recommend what brand and or type I should use...

link to buy from site like newegg, etc would be good.

thank you

I am using this Seasonic M12II 620 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151095
It's single rail

Or you can use Seasonic M12II 520 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151093

Hello marto74,

Speedy tracking says "Canceled: SYSTEM RETURN", this doesn't sound good... Order Reference is NFSFYUHIK. Can you please look in to it?

Thank You.

Can I run 2 DICE from 1 of these??? or should I get 2??

Thanks again!!!

edit: got the 620 sitting in my cart .... great discount right now!!!

Better, you can run 4 DICE with 620

Any way pm me so we can solve this out

So the "lottery" is solo mining? Where did you get that 150/300,000,000 odds from? Thanks. Sorry if this has already been asked.

How much time i need to see my miners?, my order is this DIFSRTQII I bought it on 2014-12-21 and the status never changed.

The DICE is a very interesting Miner for Office use.

I would buy two or more DICE if i could use an native cgminer version.

I'm using several R-Box , New R-Box and Antminer U3 and don't want to use two or more forks of cgminer.

If you want to sell more Miners let the native fork of cgminer support all your Miners!
