The miner doesnt get any further than the "startup" fase. Fans running slow and i think the miner does not get online. Therefore i cant find the ip.. any tips/tricks?

Try resetting - https://enforum.bitmain.com/bbs/topics/3957

yep, this should be the next step. Take a pin or needle and hold it as long into the "Reset-Button/Hole" (without much force!) until you hear the beep and see the red light. This should reset the Miner to factory settings. However, in case you have disrupted the upgrade process with unplugging it i'am not sure if this might be enough.... Hope so. Let us kow what happened and how things worked out.
Tried to reset the miner but it didnt work, holding the reset-button for about a whole minute doesnt do anything. It doesnt respond and stays in the warming-up fase..
Do you have another solution?

Read this and locate your error.

I readed a bit into it and think this is for  you:
 https://enforum.bitmain.com/bbs/topics/2891

and a video about it from the bitmain support forum:

Seems you have to manually flash your SD card.

Thanks for your help! I had contact with Bitmain and they told me that the control board is defective so they send me a new control board.
However it is strange that it happend during the upgrade, it probably has something to do with it..

I can't open the file to upgrade the miner. What kind of software do you use to open it?

You don't need to open it. Go to your miner's Upgrade page, Image, Choose File, Flash image:

Thank You!

But I guess I fucked up, did the upgrade first instead of the update. Now i can't acces the miner via IP anymore because it doesnt start up.. how can i fix this?


That's the correct way to do it. There shouldn't be an issue unless you manually unplugged your miner while it was upgrading. Your IP address might've changed. Use an IP address scanner to find all devices on your network or use you router UI to find your antminer IP address.
Thank you guys for the quick response. I did unplug it but it was after 10 minutes.. i was worried the miner was hashing without the fans running at full speed and therefore getting to warm.
Should i just plug it in again and wait?

The miner should've fully rebooted after 10 minutes. Try starting up your miner and checking if your miner's ip address changed. Use your router page to locate the new ip address.

NEW FIRMWARE UPDATE

Bitmain just released two firmware updates (Assuming that both required to get all features). One for showing fan speed and reducing rejected shares and the other increases hash rate by ~33% avg !!!!!!!!!!! (Getting 1040 H/S Average and 0 rejected shares)

https://i.imgur.com/4HpU5K9.png

Simply go here https://shop.bitmain.com/support.htm?pid=00720180519161243572MB78lOGz067A and download both firmwares. Flash you B3 with "Antminer-B3-20180519.tar.gz" first then after completing the upgrade flash it with "update_1000.tar.gz".


Please note that my B3's are running a bit hotter after the update also assuming that they're consuming more energy (Can someone confirm this please).

***NOT RESPONSIBLE IF THIS FIRMWARE BRICKED YOUR MINER. IT WORKED PERFECTLY FOR MY MINERS***


Please give me some of them merits if this post helped you  Cheesy

Guyz - I tried to change speed of the fans...
This shit is screeaming like a pig in my basement and there is no need to be like that - chips have just around 45°C.

U used bitmain-fan-ctrl and pwm in SSH, but this shit doesnt made a change. It doesnt have any fan-ctrl or what?

Could somebody help?
How much temperature could this chips have?
Thinking about giving there some computer fans...

I suggest to disconnect front fan (that what I have done) till they release firmware update. It will drop noise level 50% plus I put under the unit noise cancellation pad. It helped another 10%. Hopefully it helps.

I swapped out both fans for SILVERSTONE FHP Series SST-FHP141-VF, temps don't go above 50 and power at the wall dropped to 280w.

My next test will be to use 2x Phanteks PH-F120MP 120mm PWM High Static Pressure Radiator Fan and or 1x Phanteks + 1x SILVERSTONE. If needed I will put a honeycomb cell on the rear fan.

 

How were the results with the 2x Phanteks on the B3 miner? Did the miner stay cool enough and how was the noise?
