Will the New Year's GB still be going on Monday?
We didn't decide yet.

OK, I've done a recovery and now have the SP20 no longer reporting that it is an SP10.  I updated the firmware to the 2.5.64 and seem to be back at square one regarding the unit not hashing.  It runs for about 5-6 minutes and then turns off cgminer.  During that time it's 100% discards. After that, the ASIC tab shows no adapter.  Before that, there was one.

This is on CKPool.  I have another SP20 running just fine on it.
Contact our technical support, the details are in the technical blog. We'll RMA after a diagnostic session.

Thanks.  I'm pretty sure it's on my side now (except for the 2.5.12 showing up as Dawson) Smiley  I swapped PSUs with the one sitting next to it, and now both seem to be working fine.  I'm going to let them run this weekend and if everything is good, I want some more Smiley

regardless, i am 100% certain the cable was at fault, not the sp20e as it isn't even OCd.

upon replacement of the cable its back running at 1430-1510GH/s @ 940W



Temp Front / Back T,B
    31 °C / 71,72 °C
Fan Speed
    90
Start Voltage
    0.67 / 0.67 / 0.67 / 0.67
Max Voltage
    0.7
Max Watts
    215 / 215 / 215 / 215


Thank you for clarifying.
How does the current limiting on the PCIe plugs work, BTW? I'm not at home to check, but I would assume that the two plugs are not simply paralleled on the hashing board and that each 12V plug powers two of the ASICs in a loop.
IE, if you disabled a full loop on a hashing board you'd pull full power from one plug, and ~0W from the other.

Is that correct?

Thx guys, one cable end is fried, other 3 are slightly scorched.

Edgar, what PSU and cables did you use ?
Can you ship them for inspection ?

Cooler master V850 that was running a november jupiter at 1150 for 12 months without hiccup.

i can indeed send the damaged cable if you require it but i am confident it was an ever-so-slightly loose connection that has  overheated after a month or so of use and a couple of power surges that knocked out various rigs at various times.

i replaced the cable after scraping out the debris and am back at 1430-1510GH/s @ 940w

the  sockets of all 4 pcie slots on the sp20e look toasted but just that one is very bad

dont really wanna RMA as i lost a fair few days of mining while i was away and now there's that spike in diff.

It seems to be up and running again after letting it cool off a bit. I am curious to know what the green blinking LED on the PSU means, though.

>> AC PRESENT, STBY ON, MAIN OUTPUT OFF

see page 4.

what almost certainly happened is the SP30 pushed the PSU just a tad too far and tripped the protection circuit. When that happens some power supplies need to be unplugged and left to cool for a few minutes before they can boot again

sp20 has that built in also, it's called having a very safe miner.  Wink

@phil - yep sp20 end, #3 loop.  but all look slightly toasted. and it wasnt OCd at all, been running fine since arrival.

still confused, but jet-lagged so cant think straight


@ epoch - from what i was told, flashing green = searching for IP/connection. usually lasts a few seconds (check ether cable?)
You might be thinking of the front LED; it isn't that one that's flashing. It's one of the rear LED's on one of the PSUs. Normally that PSU LED is on solid green; mine starting blinking and I don't know what that means ... it must mean something bad, since 1/2 of my SP30 stopped hashing ... I assume it is the half powered by that blinking PSU.
Please contact support@ for technical diagnostic and PSU RMA if needed. Did you try switching the PSUs ?

Edit: I read the rest of the thread. This is not a temperature issue. My bad.

Well it is a bit of a temperature issue, just the other type of temperature and in a very small localised area Shocked

My good news tonight is that my SP31 just shut down and I can't get it looked at till tomorrow.  Angry
We're ready to assist ...

That you Guy? Smiley

Hope someone just kicked the cable out or something. I could have got support to do an immediate call out but I've got a new firewall going into the rack tomorrow and everything is being moved around so it can wait.

Hopefully nothing serious, otherwise I'll be taking you up on your offer Smiley

possible causes?

im shattered but will checkin for support/opinions when i return from slumber

I have always seen this problem when ASICs get too cold. Some of our SP30s and SP31s generally start to show this problem when the intake air temperatures get below around 8°C or lower.

Since the affected ASICs for you are the ones in the back, they'll be warmed by the ASICs in the front. I suggest you turn down the fan speed to 30, then let it run for about 30 minutes, then restart minergate. The slow fan speed will make the air temperature flowing across the back ASICs much warmer, which may get your back ASICs to run again. Once they are running, you can increase your fan speed again, though I would suggest leaving it a little lower (maybe 80) as long as your intake temperatures are low.

What are your intake and exhaust temps?

Edit: I read the rest of the thread. This is not a temperature issue. My bad.

If a hard reset didn't work, then the PSU may well need replacing ... had this happen on a SP10 PSU a few months back, but if I remember correctly when they flash red, the PSU is usually dead.
