so, status report of boards:

1 of 4 is rock stable, no problem at all
1 of 4 is working on 400G, but it is reseting:

 [2014-09-30 11:45:32] HEXM 565 Chip[2] 16 consecutive HW errors reset
 [2014-09-30 11:48:57] HEXM 565 Chip[3] last received nonce 6 secs ago reset
 [2014-09-30 11:49:00] HEXM 565 failure, disabling!

2 of 4 has only half working chips - at 200G is unstable (reset few times in hour and then got to ZOMBIE). At 100G it is working relative ok, but only 1/4 power of 400G :-((

marto, do you want try the two bad boards with remote ssh? or should I sent it to you to RMA?

When will this be completed?  When will my orders be sent?  It's been almost a year now. How did you expect this to have come together in February?  Are we getting some 14nm chips in these for compensation?

...maybe in February - 2015...

It will work with some modification, but the first supplier was to expensive
Admit I was a bit close  Cheesy
"Droomde al half van grote Gamma alu profielen van 2 of 4 meter lang met lengte ribbels bovenop waar water doorheen loopt vanuit een tank met een pompje (een kant beetje hoger zodat het van links naar rechts of andersom stroomt door de gleuven) en de bordjes met de chips omhoog en tegenaan geklemd."

google translate:

"Dreamed half of large Gamma aluminum profiles 2 or 4 meters long with longitudinal ribs on top through which water flows from a tank with a pump (a little higher so that the side from left to right or vice versa flows through the slots), and the signs with the chips up and clamped against it."

Is that normal?


 [2014-09-25 11:16:46] HEXM 1 restarting due to low hash rate (378456.823541 < 3
81173.760000). Uptime 190.023406 secs

I dont think that 378Gh is low hash rate (400+/- is 378 in tolerance).

Now is every 190sec hex rebooting.

That is not what meant, i know that if connect the fan wrong it wont spin. What i mean is to drive screws of the cooler a bit harder. I had the same problem as you and it worked Wink worth a try

I dont understand now. You mean to drive more or less? Because now I have cooler with about 1mm distance between the metal pad and pad of cooler (it look that drive more is too much). Can you do photo of your actual status with coolers?
what coolers you use

ARCTIC Freezer 13 and ARCTIC Freezer 13 CO

tomorrow I will have +12 Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 PRO r2

...................

no, the PSU is not the problem because it is connect to two 12v rails (2x30A)


You might aswell have wrong atached coolers to the board, i did have the same problem  at the begining

no, that is also not a problem - if you connect it wrong, the fan is not moving



I tried to disable the chips one by one and only just one configuration is working - the 12 (0+1 disable). All other possibilities = ZOMBIE

I think that the board is bad... but maybe is between chair and keyboard ;-) I have other 3 boards that is not connect so tomorrow I will try it.



Woo, i am not really sure that connect 2 different rail to one system is good idea. I am definitely not going to do that.
Could you try again using 1 rail only?

If you are going to try another untouch board, please use 1 rail only  Smiley

If you look at the PCB of Enermax, it is not problem, but who knows Smiley The rest of boards I will test with Fortron AURUM PRO 1200W 80PLUS GOLD (one single 100A 12V rail). Just for sure.

That's it, your PSU is very powerful but not single rail. Your PSU had six rails, each rail only can deliver 30A max.
Using default setting the board will use up to 40A(i guess since i don't own one  Tongue)

To prove this you can try to disable 1 chip & see if the board can reach 300G
You can see more detail on cgminer api log.

I'm using a psu with 36a on the 12v rails and it works fine.

Of course it work. based on 2GOOD review at default setting it will use about 430 watt.
Your PSU can deliver 36 A x 12 V = 432 watt.
macher PSU 30 A x 12 V = 360 watt, the psu overload protection should already kick in.


no, the PSU is not the problem because it is connect to two 12v rails (2x30A)

Now the best result:

Use d for display and n for normal and w for work and that will do it.

come on chaps lets be civil please.

Please.

Qeu, PM me your order number for your PSUs, ill straiten it out right now.
Done. Thanks.

 Que I feel ya man. He seriously is shipping the smallest first. I complained and complained and now he say's how about partial shipments? Man WTF indeed. Umm shouldn't you take care of orders in which they came? One would think you would fulfill them in the order received, especially when my entire order was paid in fiat. I have never heard of such a business philosophy in my life. Yet daily they are shipping conversion orders out. Its not the fiat he is worried about, its the btc. I have a feeling every conversion he is doing he is moving the other half to the side... feel my drift?

I understand martos system of shipping.

At first there was problem with MCUs. He could send bad boards or have delay. Okay, for everyone (us as customers, marto as manufacter) is better to have delay instead of RMAs.

Problem solved and what now? We have huge delay and so many customers are angry.

For company (marto) is better to have one angry customer (with 150 boards) instead of 37 customers (for example 4 boards to one customer). So he sent small orders first. It is not fair for some customers, but is the best what he can do (because company name). Finaly he got 900 neutral customers, 90 positive customers and 10 negative (but from the full set is the smallest group). Ok, this is the smallest evil. I think this is the real status (and marto cannot say this because the angry customers with many boards).

It is not fair, but is the life with real business.

 Ok but by that thinking.. would one not assume that fiat take precedence? He has openly said there are 2 fiat/btc customers. I in fact are one of them, damn near $11k USD. He could not give a shit about me? I understand your point, my point is for every board you ship, you at least have another on the side to take care of those that take care of you.

 I dunno, it seems like a no brainer to me, but to tell your best paying customers to fuck off, it kinda seems like cut the hand off that feeds you. Unless my boards been up and running the entire time.

I am also fiat customer. I think, that there are much more fiat customers than 2.

Any word about the mounting brackets coming from Technobit? Do we have a good solution for those not using arctic coolers?

I think, that not all Arctic coolers you can use either. For example i30 model has different mouting system. Only models Frezer 7 Pro r2 or Aarctic Freezer 13/CO are the same. My delivery will be here on monday or tusday so I will try it.

After last business with btmine I can say just one - dont do business with him without paypal or escrow.

I got my miner a month later and totally damaged (he claimed sending immediately). So be careful!
