Excuse me? Check my previous posts of previous sales (h@shKraker).

Check with the guys from Peppermining that I actually purchased these.

And while your at it, I just took a photo of the 7 habs.

[HABANERO FOR SALE]

I am looking at selling some of my tasty Habaneros (with regret).

Reason is I didn't have time to set all of them up before leaving the location where they are hosted for work and have a few spare.

They have been all tested and haven't been overclocked at all.

They are paired with a Coolermaster Nepton 280L cooler and 1000watt HP Server PSU. Comes with all cables and usb. You just need a controller.

Shipping will be with a reputable courier like Fedex or DHL as I don't want these damaged on the way to you Smiley. Shipping is within 24 hours of receiving payment providing it isn't a weekend then it will go out Monday.

Payment is in BTC and gateway or MrTeal can verify my purchase of 11 Habaneros.

Here is a image of it hashing directly at the pool:

And here is the Habanero setup:

Interesting. It should show up as M2. I have a board where it doesn't show up at all in zadig.

That is what it is showing in Windows device manager as well. I am running windows 7 on my mac laptop

so, in device manager, it shows up as an unknown device as well?
hmm ...



Solved.. It was the usb cable.. I am not sure if it is faulty or it cant handle 2 metres. I had a smaller one here and it detected as M1.

Thanks for all your help

I have a dual boot mac system (mac / windows) and I can't seem to get these boards to recognize due to a driver issue.

In windows I tried ZADIG but get a Driver Installation Failed: (resource already exists). So tried Mac, but can't seem to find any information on mac drivers or how to get them going.

Are there drivers for Mac for these board? Anyone know why Zadig is throwing that error (is it because im running windows on a mac??)

There is input voltage monitoring, and an overvoltage shutdown if the input voltage goes over spec. It could be possible that if your supply is idling quite high and there is some voltage sensing circuitry on the supply that isn't connected, you could have enough overshoot to trip that protection. It would be hard to see with a multimeter, but you could be going over 13.2V.

Try connecting the voltage sense lines as klondike_bar suggested to get the voltage back to 12V, and see if that fixes the issue.

This sounds like the most likely candidate to me.  In my testing these supplies operate at the high end of the ATX accepted range though still within it.  What is the exact voltage cut off for the habanero to shut itself down if it is less than the accepted range it could be causing the shut down.

The current sense wire that people are talking about is already connected on these boards.  What is the voltage range that the Habanero accepts is there any way to adjust that to see if that is the issue?
ATX spec is +/-5%, up to a maximum of 10% at peak loading. The VRM will shut down after I believe 5ms above 13.2V.

I agree, under load I typically measure 12.55v and 12.8 max when not loaded and with no connectors attached.  Should be well below 13.2v though.  Unfortunately I don't have a Habanero to play with so it is hard to diagnose what the issue maybe remotely.

Edit: To close the loop on this I'm told a firmware update fixes this issue.

Thanks MrTeal and thread members for all your help.. Everything is running now! No power issues.

What fixed it was a firmware update (Specially made from the PepperMining guys to handle the voltage with the Gigampz setup).

Having 9 (2 more to go, but had to leave the country on work stuff) Habaneros setup you can image the heat! I am now looking for ways to lower the heat so I can push the MHz up.

Ambient temp in this country (34 degrees Celsius outside) is unfortunately an issue as well, so aircon is running to try and keep the room at about 24 degrees Celsius.

I have a 30" industrial ventilation fan running which pushes about 10,000CFM but I feel the coverage area isn't big enough for 9 Habs on multiple shelving.

My next thought would be to have 2 fans at either end of the Hab board moving air across it and away from the board. Or maybe only a single 250CFM fan is needed.

Any fan recommendations?

Anyone have 5+ Habs in a single room? How are you handling cooling?

Does the Habanero have input voltage monitoring? 12.8V is less than 7% out of spec for 12.0V, which most things should handle at least 10% tolerance.
I'd consider it might be an undervolt issue, either from bad or insufficient output capacitors in the PSU or from a poor connection in the edge connector. I prototyped a DPS-800 board but always had trouble keeping the edge connector in solid contact with the PSU output contacts. Could be when the VRMs fire up they're draining their input caps and putting a huge sudden current load on the DPS-800, which is undervolting and tripping from one of those reasons. It could be the PSU is providing ample current but the cables are either too thin or too long, or poor connector contact, such that line impedance (either from high resistance or inductance) is not allowing sufficient sudden current changes to make up the instantaneous load. I'd suggest tucking an at-least-1000uF capacitor on each 6-pin connector (slide it in to the contacts on the back of the cable-side connector) which will help buffer out brief current spikes like that at the device instead of at the PSU. If that's the issue it ought to help, otherwise I don't really know.

Not to be a shameless plug, but that's why we design our PSU boards with additional output capacitance and low-impedance screw terminals, and supply 16-AWG cables for good current handling.

I have tried multiple psus (I purchased 11 of them from gigamps). All of them trip when cgminer is fired up. I have measured on the back of the hab board at the power sockets and they are 12.7v..

I am using 18AWG cables and have tried ones I made and ones purchased from a retailer.

Nexus: Your running the gigampz + HP psu setup.. anything I should know? Are you on 120v or 240v power?

I have measured the plugs and sometimes they are showing 13-14 volts. Most of the time they show 12.7.

When plugged in they are 12.7v measured from the back of the hab board.

When you say add a wire.. Does that mean I am soldering something?

did you try the 25MHz clock rate?

 Now I'm getting somewhere.. It appears to be the gigampz and HP psu setup. Possible my cables as I made them myself.

I tested with a corsair 760i PSU and got it working.

Anyone using the gigampz and HP PSU combo? How many psu did you use per hab board I'm on 240v power.?


More on this, I tried with new cables (pcie extensions cut down and attached to the gigampz breakout board). Same problem.

I even tried with 2x Gigampz and HP psu for the one hab board and exactly the same happens even to 100Mhz

Not sure what I am missing, but what screw are you using to attach the Nepton 280L cooling head to the board, nothing seems to fit.

I used the shorter set of screws that came with the Habaneros, combined with the little black plastic spacers from the Nepton 280 Kit.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/tw56gf58ech21kz/screws.jpg



You got screws with yours ?

Only got the boards here :|

Batch 1 thing maybe.  $250 more but came with socket cap screws.  Cost was easily offset by a similar amount of mining profits and having fun sooner than everyone else.   Grin

As for your trouble - the only time I've seen the regulator programming error is when there is an issue with power.  

Have you tried a different PSU?  What's your mining platform?  What's your commandline to launch cgminer?

Have tried a different PSU, but same gigampz breakout board (will try another breakout board now).

Mining platform is Ubuntu running cgminer 4.4.1.

cgminer --hfa-fan 100 --hfa-temp-target 0 --api-listen --api-network --hfa-temp-overheat 106 --hfa-hash-clock 100

if you can flip the board over while it's running you'll see the pins for the PCI-E.  one of the rows is +12v and tthe other is ground.   Check those while it's trying to power up.   It might be difficult to spot so watch the voltage carefully while you start cgminer.

Thanks again joeltang.

Just done that, while cgminer is running, flipped the board and used the check the voltage.. ALL 12.7v, no changes in volts.

When the cooler, fans are powering down and coming back on, is that the board resetting? (the 8 led strip cycles too)

Could it be a cooling issues? Seems strange to trigger it only milliseconds after starting cgminer (hasnt even logged into the pool yet to do anything). It only happens when starting cgminer.

Use a volt meter if you have one.   You could try running at super slow clock rate.   100Mhz for example .

I used a volti meter on the plugs themselves (not plugged into the board) and they are all fine.

I tried it a 100Mhz and upon starting cgminer it does the same, it within a millisecond the fans/cooler and board seems to power down/restart or something.

Appreciate your help joeltang

I had to go to home depot and get 8x 3/4" 6-32(think thats what they are, well normal coarse thread PC) screws

Same here. I actually prefer this method to the thumbscrews, have more control and easier to make small adjustments.

Double check that all the PCIe power cables are properly attached, and then power cycle the unit (with USB unconnected, the USB cable can power the board).

Im seeing something weird.

I measured all the pcie connectors.. they are all 12.8v.

But I noticed that FAN 2, 3 has low power as the fans are slow, FAN 4 has full power (fan is going really fast)..

Another thing that is happening.

I went to power cycle the board like this:

1. USB & power supply off
2. Turn on power supply
3. Plug in usb

The board will start up, but then keep cycling (nepton head light goes on and off, and fans wind down and start back up again. This keeps happening on a loop.

If I do:

1. USB & power supply off
2. Plug in usb
3. Turn on power supply

It starts and doesn't do the loop above.

EDIT: The loop happens when cgminer is running, I just shut it down and did:

1. USB & power supply off
2. Turn on power supply
3. Plug in usb

And it is firing normally.


Ok now have this error:

I have seen "HFA : OP_USB_INIT failed! Operation status 20 (Regulator programming error)" and I think it's lack of available power that can cause this.  If you could monitor the voltage of the PCI-E while running you might see if it is dipping during operation.  It is normal for FAN 4 to be fast all the time.  My board does the same.  The other fans speed up once the board is mining successfully.

How can I monitor it during operation?

I am using gigampz with the hp server psu (1000w). All 4 pcie plugs according to my multimeter are operating at 12.8v (not plugged into the board).
