Dead die?

This is an October Jupiter that's been running from 24/7. Noticed I have a dead die. I already increased the SPI voltage all the way up to 3.3V and it wouldn't kick it on. Then I slowly increased the individual die voltage to the MAX, which is +.1465. Didn't awake up the die either. Is there anything else that can be done to kick this die on?  I would really thought that the rig would last a lot longer then 8 months.



Try turning the overclocking off?

How do you turn overclocking off? Give the module no air and suffocate it?


It is not the die, it is your VRM not starting up.

Try to reboot a few million times and if still does not start up, you will need to change the VRM module.

There is some way also to wake it up soldering bypass resistors, but then will be no controllable from your GUI anymore.

Oh hey, that sounds like fun! Everyone should break out the soldering gun rather than RMA. Smiley

Or rather, they should just live with the defect because trying to fix it isn't cost effective... at all.

Wake up people! Anything that doesn't gain you at least 1 THs these days isn't worth you worrying about. Things have changed drastically over the past few months. Worrying about 160GHs is a waste of your time and effort.

It is not a waste of time, it is expected to work regardless how much hashing it can do.
