Hello,
has anyone had any trouble with driving their Zeus miners with the latest version of BFGminer? I just upgraded (not so far) from ver' 4.2.1 to 5.2.0 which also uses slightly different syntax in the command line.
I am mining via nicehash.com and with version 4.2.1 there are no issues when starting or running the mining program.
But when I start mining with ver' 5.2.0, my psu's overload and quit!
It seems that 5.2.0 is causing a huge power surge at startup where previous versions are totally fine and cause NO issues at all!
Anyone got a fix for this issue?
I'm sure it's a programming error somewhere in the startup code. Or are there any commands I am missing?
I used the command line suggestions for ASIC miners in the readme-ASIC txt and all commands are correct.
I don't see anything in the commands to cause or prevent this startup overload issue.
The reason I am trying to use 5.2.0 is that nicehash wants me to use their extra nonce command #/xnsub command for better efficiency and I guess a few more accepts per cycle than without it.
Thanks for any advice or suggestions you may have in advance!

Sorry guys, here's the command line I am using....

bfgminer --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://scrypt.usa.nicehash.com:3333/#xnsub -u yeahtryit -p d=1024 --set zeusminer:clock=151 -S zeusminer:\\.\COM106 -S zeusminer:\\.\COM222 -S zeusminer:\\.\COM151 --set zeusminer:chips=640

Some names have been changed to protect my ars from hackers Wink

Why not try setting per miner and use PI's as your controllers or one rasp pi ? windows 10 is due out on the 29 th and has a PI 2 version you might want to look at if you want windows as your miner/controller and look at minera ? .I use 5.2 on my cyclone and it runs way better now that minera fixed it's Calculation issue no over heating PSU never had that issue any way it just runs a lot better with 5.2 holds a steady 21 to 23 MH at default setting. why even over clock any of them sense Ive found OC is just a waste of power there not worth OC, if you are.

--scrypt -S zus:all --set zus:chips=96 --set zus:clock=330 for the cyclone or T X2 .

per miner setting with minera or without

--scrypt -S zus:/dev/ttyUSB0 --set zus:chips= --set zus:clock= -S zus:/dev/ttyUSB1 --set zus:chips= --set zus:clock=

I'm real amazed the above setting even work and don't over heat every thing. you have set .

I'm not even sure what Zeus has 213 chip per miner and runs with no clock set very well or clock set at 151

The clock setting i know of are 240 to 345 safe clock setting that depends on the miner for best results with any version of BFG miner that supports ZeusMiners.
some setting in older version of BFG you may need to use you don't need with 5.2 but can still use them if you want to.

Last question what Zeus Miner are they ? .)
