Re: Official FutureBit Moonlander 2 Driver and Support Thread

The fans on these sticks may not be good.

One now shudders making noise and vibrating the stick.

I pull the two fans and now use external fans all is well in fact better then when I ran with the little fans also not as loud.

I can not find it but someone else said their fan became unbalanced and vibrated.

This happens even though the fan screws are tight and correctly installed,

I have similar issue with fan ( only one of the 3 sticks ordered ).
Time to time starts making really annoying noise ... i also think is's increasing in speed as the noise level is increasing as well (and i can feel unusual vibrations when touch it) but after restarting the miner it's back to normal.
I also tried to tighten/loose the screws but that just change the noise frequency (pitch or what it's called) Cheesy

... I have quite wide range of fans on hand so will try to find some that fits ... so no big issue.

But have other question.
Wanted to put one of sticks on USB cable and put it between window frames to keep it cold ( i have double windows in my house ) ... miner recognize the stick (green led is on) but won't show any hashrate (just zeros).
Can be the long cable cause of this issue? It's 2 meters long. I tried it with shorter one (1 m) and that works well.

Anyhow, OP you did a great job, thanks for these awesome miniminers.

yeah trying to figure out how many of us have this fan issue.

and it looks like that stick has more issues.

I seem to have 1 good one and one bad one.

im starting to think its the driver.. one can run all day long, but throw 5 or 6 more on and they dont work very well. i think jstefanop tried to explain it once before. sometimes the chip gets jammed up with bad info or something. he said he was trying to make them auto restart.

try upping the diff to 1024..

also when i first got mine the fans were horrible. they made all kinds of noises.. but i unset the screws and i just tightened them down very little.. they are better now.
