it is easy
my bfl were running like crap and i fixed them take the fans off and remove the thermal tape they have and apply thermal paste

put everything back and let it sit for 30 min and run it

then you will see it hashing at the right speed.

Thanks for the tip!

report back after fixing it

I still need to acquire a star bit that is small enough to open it Sad.  Unfortunately, I have higher priority things to get done before Thanksgiving.  Hopefully next week I can get it running at full throttle.

I left it off longer this time.... now about where it was when I unboxed it, but still half of expected.  I'll let it run for now until I can get a smaller hex bit.

BAL  1:  max 56C 3.26V | 25.59G/25.49Gh/s | A:  453 R:  61 HW:  4 WU:339.7/m

i think there has been reports of fans either coming unhooked or not working. I would pull cover off and check . Also make sure both power cords have power.

I tested the power cords and it looks like both fans are spinning, but like I said, I need to get a smaller hex/star bit before I can open it.  Thanks for the suggestions.

I'm mining on a local p2pool instance.


P2P local instances support stratum?  Its been too long since I looked into all the P2P pool stuff...  Have you tried one of the major pools?

P2Pool has supported BFL rigs for months now.  Stratum support is nearing a year old if I recall.

Besides, I'm talking about cgminer's reported rate.

I'm on archlinux, using latest cgminer from git.  All of my other miners (ASICMiner) are working fine, and the BFL is running, just not full throttle:
BAL  0:  max 55C 3.26V | 15.37G/15.16Gh/s | A:7902 R:392 HW:66 WU:209.5/m

1.  Get a raspberry pi
2.  Load MinePeon on an SD card
3.  Mine away!
4.  Try to forget you supported those BFL scammers...

My BFL SC finally arrived today.  I plugged it in and was only getting 26 GH/s.  So I unplug it, remove the power cord, and wait a few minutes.  When I hook it all back up, it now caps out at 15 GH/s.  Any ideas?
