675 here for the last 24hrs. One straggler is averaging 14.5K but the rest are 15-16K at the pool. Other than the bullsh*t surprise import tax, I'm satisfied.
You notice the chips cant seem to handle as well as the first batch? Like these ones are fairly hot? Mines running 14.9 with 675 and temps are like 72c It's 77f in this room ambient.
Any Talk about Batch #2 Nerf Overclocking go to https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4610213.msg45004499
I just got my z9 mini an hour ago and its stuck on balanced. Cant seem to find a way to change the attribute as well.
Hmm
Hmm
Mine didn't have a balanced option, can you share a picture? What batch was yours?
I have a First batch which was fine, Got a Second batch delivered a few hours ago and its firmware had a Balanced no OC firmware preloaded.
It seems they have altered the firmware that came with it to stop OCing too high.
Now I flashed the firmware to the older firmware on the website It cant seem to OC as high as the first batch. I got it at 650 mhz and increasing as I go. Once it gets too high one of the chips shuts down.
They obviously nerfed the fuck out of the 2nd batches.
UPDATE:
Seems if you flash second batch with firmware from website and try older settings it will not work too well, because freq must of changed on the new chips? It seems good OC max is around 681~ on second batch pulling about 15.8k~ solz on Zec.
Just checked again and it lowered down on the 3rd chip, lowering the freq again, ill let you know what I find.
Update 2: Run time 15m~
Freq: 675 Fan: 95% - They running fairly hot these chips they must of changed something on them big time. They holding around 72c atm on the chip. Might have to think about adding a 2nd fan on the back. Getting about 14.8-15k sol. Will update in a few hours.

@joykiller check that your connectors in motherboard pcie sockets do not touch each other.
You mean the x1 connectors? Those are not touching, the USB wires are, but its been like this now for over a year and had no issues.
Yes, make sure the usb female connector of each x1 adapter is well spaced from the back contacts of the adjacent x1 connector board. It is a known issue for motherboards where each pcie socket is too close to the other one, like in the Asrock H110 Pro BTC+. I stopped having random gpus falling off the bus as soon as I covered each connector with isolating tape.
You mean wrap the USB Cable in aluminium foil tape? Or you talking about the x1 Slot wouldnt that cause issues with conductivity on the board? Got a picture for reference please?
I've seem'ed to get it working so far, its been going for over 24h so far as it has in the past year, but if the foil tape helps increase hashrate due to frequency noise maybe might be worth it. I got some tape laying around.
in order to prevent this you should place isolating tape on the side of the x1 connector. You should cover with tape the parts highlited in red in the picture.

If you exclude too aggressive overclocking, 90% of the instability problems on a rig are coming from poor power distribution. Two pieces of advice:
1) the pcie cable to SATA provided with the risers is generally of crappy quality. In any case the SATA connector cannot take more than 50-55W, so you should connect the pcie riser to a 6pin PCI cable directly to the power supply or through a pcie splitter.

2) If you have a dual power supply configuration, you should power the motherboard and all PCI risers with the same power supply. You will use the second power supply to power the top connectors of the GPUs only. This will prevent ground loops and many headaches.
ah right, well I already know about the connectors, been running a few GPU rigs for over a year already no problems. Problem seems to be be fixed it was more or less a power issue i believe as its going now for 48h no interuptions. (Undervolted)
Interesting about the USB I dont seem to have that issue tho.

No. My 1070 rig works fine, no problem.
I had problem with other rig
and when I switch gpu0 and gpu12 usb3 connection it stopped crushing.
Don't know is it the case for your rig, but its working for me

Thanks, Yeah I was thinking maybe it was something to do with either USB/x1 Connector/ the riser its self or Drivers. I got spares to replace them, Just continuing to test to see if more than just these two are causing the bus failure to see how many Risers i may have to replace.

Anyone come across random nvidia GPU Fallen off the bus messages before?
I've been logging them over the past few days to see if i can break down as to what is making it fail.
Second Time
So its not the same GPU's each time its a new Bus, and GPU, Anyone got any Ideas? I was thinking maybe the 1070s not playing nice with the newest drivers or maybe the riser or its components failing? Thoughts?

So Z9 in the kernel log files has alot of refrences to FPGA along with the chip boards having FPGA manufacturer. I wonder if there would be a way to modify it to change algos not entirely sure if its possible tho. Just wondering if anyone has looked into it more?
I wouldn't attach AC directly to the rigs like that. You'll get some bad rust.

Dude, that is some long term rust right there. That doesn't just happen. You have to have plenty of condensation for that.
My AC unit isn't hooked directly to the miners. It is simply just going into the fridge to try to sustain a consistent temp and prevent noise. The fridge isn't even running, I cut a freon line bc I was getting too impatient cutting the exhaust holes.
Aluminum/metal increases risk of condensation which is why I have eliminated all metal and only use PVC. I tested with aluminum dryer exhaust and that would condensate really bad.
I am running a dehumidifier that is collecting the condensation as much as possible.
I have 3 different Antminers in there and they are all running at 70 temps for over 6 months now. I have 3 fans in the fridge as well to help circulate the air which warms up the cool air slightly before entering the miner(hopefully).
All exhausted with PVC parts straight to the attic. I'm not seeing any condensation inside the fridge yet. Only on the outside of the fridge on the outside of the black PVC pipes going from the unit to the fridge. Because the temps are 100F+ here right now in the summer. No condensation on the inside of the pipes either.
It's working for now, will have to see long term what happens.
I think having a working fridge would increase condensation too but not sure of the outcome of this method vs just having a running fridge yet.
For sake of argument, That video was showing a D3 dash miner. This means it came out around August of 2017. The youtube video is of Jan of 2018. That's 5 Months, imo that isn't long term rust. Just saying be careful. I created a soundproof box for x3 Asic's with dry duct work going to an exhaust fan that sucks it out side. Temps are 55 lows in mornings and 70c highs when its like 105f outside. None of which is tied to an AC unit directly.

ive got a couple more coupons that will be expiring in two weeks. Would getting a couple of the z9 minis be a worth the gamble? which coins are sure to fork and which ones can still be mined by the z9 in 3 months?
Too risky, IMO ASIC's are only good if you get the first batch, afterwards risk greatly increases. But as in everything #DYOR. ~ Do your own research.
What is the point of using different pools when there is %0 pool fee antpool.? I mean why not Antpool? Anyone using it?
(Genuine question)
Also after OC (I am on 725)(70C)(seems fine, the same temp as 700 or 750, the difference is 1 to 3 degrees C)
I failed to make a SoundProof Box to it, it has 1 fan so suction is not strong enough to pass it all the way i think, it gets too hot,(85C) Anyone made one, can I see a picture maybe.
Thanks

I made a soundproof box with particle board about 20" x 20" x 12" Laid in some sound foam inside, The front suction ducting droops down to cut reduction on noise (DONT CONNECT THEM TO THE FRONT OF THE RIGS) This causes more noise. Connect the Exhaust only. I think all up it cost me like 40-50$ in materials. Made noise go from 79db to like 55~
Rigs are cool, I have them below 60c. The Exhaust ducts exiting are insulated and goes directly to a Exhaust extraction fan that goes right outside through my wall.
PS: you need to set your Z9 fan to say minimum of like 80% IMO.
Everyone post their PCB and Chip TEMP's for the Z9 also mention if you OC'ed or not. And what kind of exhaust systems you might be using? I'm curious just set up mine and stock fanspeed was getting around 60c
Anyone got a link on how to add new coins to the script? I assume just modify the 1bash and add the following conditional statements and varibles to match like the other coins for the appropriate miners installed.
If thats right anyone mind letting me know i guess ill find out the hardway soon enough.

btw, I've noticed that the current 1bash does not use the fastest miner for VTC. Literally has 10mhs slower one. I guess ill have to change over to the miner i was using on my custom build by updating 0miner bash. and compiling the new miner too on this.
