Tried starminer.

Guess something is wrong with my warmachine - going to RMA it. Too many hardware errors and eventually stops mining.

Most of the Zeus Miner ASIC units (which include the GAW "rebranded" ASIC units as well) show a high amount of hardware error messages. What one needs to consider (which is noted on our LitecoinTalk.org forum thread) is the actually accepted versus rejected share numbers. The Zeus Miner "Blizzard" units the "StarMiner crew" has for development purposes both show eventually a high number of hardware errors. To minimize this some requires adjust the clock frequency some (we have found that 342Mhz is typically "acceptable" for most Zeus Miner ASIC units; originally most were reporting 327Mhz was also a relatively "acceptable" frequency as well). However, the percentage of rejects is extremely low relatively speaking as well. One just needs to go into the SeedManager configuration page to adjust the "hardware error warning" to a high number to overlook this in the long term.

As for "eventually stops mining", there were reports of this with quite a few of the Zeus Miner "first batch/generation" units due to various reasons as well as speculations. StarMiner for the majority of cases though was able to work well with these ASIC units that other mining applications and full images had issues with. That said, "a majority" means that not every ASIC would perform well either. Sad

Such happens unfortunately.

Good luck with the RMA with GAW Miners there. Feel free to continue reporting about StarMiner here or on our LitecoinTalk forum thread as well.

Happy and profitable mining to all! Cool
