Re: The Chili – 30+GH/s BFL based Bitcoin Miner Assembly

I just bought this miner a few days ago from eBay for the sake of getting 30+ GH/s.

I hooked this thing up to a 200W PSU and an Ubuntu Server box.
I can't seem to get it past 8Gh/s. The only time I see above 8 is when I first boot up bfgminer and it warns me about the temperature.
I have plenty of cooling for this thing, so I dunno what's wrong.

If someone can help me on this issue, that would be great.
Was this one of the ones that Lucko had made, or is it an original Chili?
Try downloading the ChiliFlash utility linked at the start of this thread, and see if all the asics report as working.

I flashed the Chili with a few of the hex files, and it seemed like everything was working.
It gave me this:
Code:
DEVICE: Chili SC
MANUFACTURER: MrTeal and ChipGeek
FIRMWARE: 1.2.14e
CHIP PARALLELIZATION: NO
QUEUE DEPTH:40
PROCESSOR 0: 16 engines @ 0 MHz -- MAP: FFFF
PROCESSOR 1: 16 engines @ 0 MHz -- MAP: FFFF
PROCESSOR 2: 16 engines @ 0 MHz -- MAP: FFFF
PROCESSOR 3: 16 engines @ 0 MHz -- MAP: FFFF
PROCESSOR 4: 16 engines @ 0 MHz -- MAP: FFFF
PROCESSOR 5: 16 engines @ 0 MHz -- MAP: FFFF
PROCESSOR 6: 16 engines @ 0 MHz -- MAP: FFFF
PROCESSOR 7: 16 engines @ 0 MHz -- MAP: FFFF
THEORETICAL MAX: 33.28 GH/s

And then I update data once, and it brings the Theoretical Max down to ~ 19-20 GH/s.

I've also tried with cgminer, and it yields me the same exact results.

This is my current setup, I know it's kinda ghetto:

I'm wondering if I should get better fans for this. I need an excellent one for under $50 that'll do the job.
