I mainly use S9/i's due to price and replacement of hash boards being relatively cheap.
I have had some i put in a pile to sell as they do not work or bring a whole S9 down (constant restarting etc), BUT then i have gone to use them weeks or months later and they are fine??
The ONLY thing i have done is cleaned them with a stiff brush and them blasted them with contact cleaner.
I'm wondering if anyone has had any success with using an Ultrasonic Cleaner and the relevant fluid?
This 6.5l seems to accommodate a whole hash board plus i suspect the fluid would last a long time if you clean the boards as i explained above.
I have a T17e with 1 bad hashboard, only 48 asics are found. I have put in a brand new APW9+ PSU, new fans, and new data cables to see if the issue would go away with no luck. Unfortunately there are no available replacement hashboards to be found online. I just had a few questions:
-Are there any repair sites in the US that could look at the board? -If there are no repair options, I am thinking of repairing myself, and have ordered 4 BM1396 chips. Once I get them, I am going to start taking heatsinks off and inspecting signals. Is there anything else I need to purchase? -Does anyone know what temp sensor these boards use? One of the good boards has a bad sensor. Kernel log says NCT218, but am unsure what to order until I open it up.
For reference I have also done the SD card stock firmware -> latest firmware update, and also tried HiveOS with no luck.
The CHIA official pool protocol has not been released yet. Once it's released it will require re-plotting to create portable plots that can be used on any pool.
Currently, there are a few non-official pools that are not recommended because they require using a closed sourced client which is a security risk and can allow malicious actors to game the pool.
Ok, thanks. l will take your advise and look into it. Anyway, do you know how to do solo mining?
Yep! Simply install the Chia wallet and make some plots. You'll gain a chance of finding a Chia block (usually its quite low, depends on your plot count)
