I was asked by Dominique from Innosilicon to share my experience.

I have 3rd batch miners, were very unstable with original v2.0.1

After I got v2.0.2 from them, it seems relatively stable on mono-coin pool (f2pool)

Miners tend to die (completely disappear) on switching pools - work for ~12 h on prohashing, then I have to reboot as they disappear from network.

Probably overheating, but it is hard to say - I can not watch then all the time.

If somebody managed to get them stable on prohashing - could you please share settings?

I will probably try them on nicehash - original firmware would not work there at all, did not try new one.

Will watch this thread closely

I have them stable on prohashing for almost 24hours.

2hr avg hashrate: 277.98 MH/s

Speed: 1200Mhz
mV: 820
Diff: 8192



my best at PH has been about 48-72hrs

I will update again after the weekend Smiley

Prohashing - 12h so far.

Hashrate fluctuates between 200MH/s and 300MH/s

Voltage set at 810.

Temperature of boards - 64 degrees. Seems overheating, I guess...

Miners are in a cold room, and it is winter now. I can not put them in a freezer...  Huh

What temperature is deemed as normal? I read before somebody says miners run at 40? How is that possible?

Mine are jumping to 60 almost right away.

Did anyone try to power those miners with the Bitmaintech APW-1600 PSUs( https://shop.bitmain.com/productDetail.htm?pid=00020160905064759862LCcn24oJ0685 ) ?
Do you see any problems by using these or should I use ATX PSUs?

hi everyone, i want to share my experience with the miner software version, the V2.0.2 did great job. 5 X a4 running for now 6 day without any trouble, no pool disconnect and very stable
thanks you to inno for the support and the very good service, i recommand it to everyone, look like all problem is solve with this new version


You really came all this way to make an account and as your first post is to share your endorsement of Innosilicon and information "no pool disconnect and very stable" when there are pages of evidence to the contrary?

Sorry, but I call bullshit on your post.

Are you using a switching pool, or mining a single coin?

Cheers.

if you're having issues with dropping, consider:

your ambient room temperature wants to be around 28 degrees or less - Lots of cooling required

PSUs must be plugged into individual sockets or specialized extension cables - 2 miners into one normal 4 plug extension etc that is a no daqqa

@citronick how many watts are you pulling at 400+ mh/s?  If we can stretch the legs on these like that without dramatically increasing the power draw and sorting out the restart issue it will be a happy New Year for us!

I don't believe he is running a "normal" 2 cube setup to get those numbers.  

yes you are right.

I ordered 6 x A4 280MH

but I am missing 1 cube and 1 controller because DHL has not sent the last box to my ISP.

So after tearing my hair the whole of last week, got the cubes into 6 blades per controller so that I can run it in a solo pool.

the 417-420MH per controller format seems to work fine in multicoin pool too and I can use diff 32768 with the large hash so I guess I will stick to this format until my last cube & controller arrives.
Ah okay. I have 6 with the same ISP I believe so I will check with them on my settings and see if any improvement can be made based on your results.  I am not even 100% sure if my miners were B1 or B2 bc I shipped them straight to Canada.

They almost have to be B2 because they have been "decent" for 2 weeks on nicehash as far as the hashrate not slowly creeping down.

820mV

69.5MH /1200Mhz per blade x 6 blades per controller

My A4s are hosted in Canada so let me know what info you need so I can get them from the ISP. Anything frontend I can do myself remotely. But if you need to do any backend kill-o-watt measurement I need the guys to help.

For now, i changed the diff back to 8192..

2hr avg hashrate: 286.60 MH/s

Running stable for 3 hours now! (@Prohashing)

I post an update here, after a few days!

Has anyone installed the firmware update yet?  Any updates or reports with the new firmware? 

Has the firmware been posted somewhere? I'm happy to test it out.

Hi,

I can confirm that 2.0.2 firmware on batch 3 miners is mining a single coin for a few days without a problem.

But I still havent tested it on multipools enough.

Regards

Hi Guys,

I have my A4 miner now for a several days. Batch 3 running V2.0.2 Beta.

I am mining @Prohashing and it drop's several times a day. I added a rule that sends ma a notify when it comes below 200 Mh/s.

 Total hashrate      190.885 MH/s   53 minutes ago 
 Total hashrate      167.024 MH/s   09:05:20 
 Total hashrate      133.619 MH/s   08:35:01 
 Total hashrate      181.340 MH/s   07:35:26 
 Total hashrate      124.075 MH/s   05:00:01

I tried different settings (low speed, higher speed and difficulty). With all settings it drops.

Does anyone knows what more i can do?


drops a board? or restarts?

monitor the temps on the board that is dropping...

suspect that overheating maybe the culprit - please check your fans closely - you may want to replace them if so.
