Re: The Habanero - 650GH/s - Batch 2 Shipping June 9th, $850 ($1.3/GH/s)

this might be a cgminer config issue but can anyone help me with this error?
"HFA : OP_USB_INIT failed! Operation status 20 (regulator programming error)
edit:using cgminer 4.3.4

Now I get this one: "OP_USB_INIT: Tossing packet, valid but unexpected type 144"

Can someone point me in a direction? I'm lost.

I had a similar error, but I cant remember if it was the exact same. My issue was a missing WinUSB driver. I installed the missing driver using zadig (http://zadig.akeo.ie/), and haven't had any issues since.

I'm okay now, it wasn't clear to me that power was required on all four plugs. (at least it is in my case) USB errors are for the most part gone.

My cooler has yet to arrive and I'm reaching thermal overload rather quickly even with "--hfa-hash-clock 100".
I'm assuming this is normal behavior without a cooler on board. I'm going to see how much hashing I can achieve with my cpu air cooler resting on the die with the fan on it.

My face when I read this

No, don't do that, and dont just 'sit' the cooler on top, you need to attach it properly and securely with quality thermal paste and appropriate pressure on all four dies. But you seriously need a liquid cooling system to run these properly. I think you should get an off the shelf cooling system, corsair and coolermaster make factory sealed liquid cooling options (coolermaster nepton 280 fits perfect if you plan on cooling the bottom of the board with the radiator exhaust, which I recommend.)

Unless you are trolling us, which I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt, but if you still have power going to your habanero, please turn it off. You can contact me and I can walk you through the steps if you really need to, but please don't run it without all of the proper equipment and installation. It would be a shame to blow it up before you even got it working properly. There is plenty of information on how to install these on the forums, you can clearly see every habanero picture posted has some kind of liquid cooling attached. If you need any questions answered before you power it on again, please ask away but for everyone's sake please turn it off until you are completely sure what you need to do

Not trolling, thanks for your offer to help but I think those few items were the only pieces of information I was lacking. I agree, that this thread does have lots of disjointed information I could have gleamed if I had been aware of its existence. I've been running this setup for the whole weekend never exceeding 96C, but I highly look forward to my Nepton 280 arriving early this week. I work in electronics and have tons of hardware experience like many of you, so I do understand the basics of heat dissipation. I am not upset but do not expect me to have sympathy for a business that sells a product without providing instructions or even inform customers of a thread that requires reading to avoid destroying the product. That kind of info should be included somehow. . you would think. Just a suggestion.
