Look at my R4... Does the status look ok regarding temperature or is one of the boards not reporting temp? Am I reading it correctly? Where it says '-' should there be temperature? it's hashing at full 8.7 TH/s speed.



You have one ASIC missing or faulty as well (can't see all oooo / xxxx / ---- )

Well, this seems to be rather common now.  My one R4 B2 that's been running for 4 weeks had one board stop working yesterday.  After reading here that it's been happening to others and that some have gotten it working again by updating the firmware, I tried that also.  Firmware update seemed to go fine, but only 1 board working still and after the firmware update the other board seems to be working but it's showing a large number of total HW errors even though the working board errors are almost none.  Now what?
My first R4 B2 lost one hasboard after just 2 days on-line, second gone together with yours - yesterday.... Looking on the bright side - I holded shipping back to avoid X-Mass messy couriers so now will save by shipping both at once.
2 Dec 2016 firmware makes status page empty when both hasboards are connected (both B2 units), works half speed with one good board.
