Anyone OCed the SP20 ?
Can anyone tell me how to OC it ?
Thank you !

Hello - Is 2.5.12 a stable version?
did you encounter any issues upgrading from 2.4.x to it on SP3x?
thx
did you encounter any issues upgrading from 2.4.x to it on SP3x?
thx
Bobsmoke, I was speaking with SPT support about one of my power supplies which failed. Michael first updated the firmware to 2.5.12 then we started to debug the issue.
Since then (3 days ago) the miner is running stable (with a bad power supply) at half a hashrate .. but I could not see anything wrong with the update.
2.5.12 is as good as 2.5.6 which was the first firmware making my SP30 to run stable. Way better than those before which, in my opinion were pushing the SP30 above the stability limits.
The main update in 2.5.x is CGminer .. which is upgraded to V4.7.0, being optimized for the SP3x units by ckolivas. It has a lower size on disk and eats less processor time.
There is also a power supply limitation to 1250W output, but with different engine settings it gives out the same hashrate as before, when running the 1330W configuration.
The unit likes to run a bit hotter, make sure you still have the fans to 80% after the update (2.5.6 had them set at 70% by default, 2.5.12 preserved the existing 80% settings).
Else, I'm still waiting for an email from Barbara with respect to the PSU RMA which is not happening as quickly as one would imagine.
However the unit is running decently flat .. http://powerprice.info/SPT/graphic.php with rather significant deltaT at input over the day.
thx

Code:
Latest available firmware version: 2.5.33
What's new? For SP3x machines.
QG
PS; Oh well, i've got nothing to loose, SP30 only hashin at 2.5ths... i may as well update while i wait for support to login to my machine.

Nice cam. I have been saving unsuccessfully for one for my reviews. Which model did you get?
The pics are great.
The pics are great.

Rack of SP30s, viewed from behind:
Looking inside an SP30. Top view, exhaust fans on the left. This shows some deficiencies of the camera. It's miscalibrated (reported temps are about 60°C above actual temps -- it appears this was fixed with a new software version), and it does a poor job with the aluminum heatsinks due to their low emissivity/high albedo. The heatsinks are actually much hotter than this image shows. Moving the camera angle caused the heatsinks to appear to change temperature, suggesting that much of what we're seeing on the heatsinks is reflected IR from surrounding objects, including the PCB and the walls/ceiling of the room.
225 amp 3-phase cable bundles in our overhead cable tray, viewed from beneath. Notice the bundles on the top of the image are warm (about 30°C in 11°C ambient) but the ones on the bottom are cool. That's because we're barely running any current through the bottom bundles, but the top bundles are running at full capacity.

SP31 also arrived and is hashing but not getting anywhere over 4645GH 
its within the +/- 10% range but I was hoping for more +10% than -10% 
If you're using 220V or greater, you should change the PSU limits on your SP31. If you have Murata power supplies, you should also ssh in and run this: its within the +/- 10% range but I was hoping for more +10% than -10% Code:
echo 1 > /etc/mg_ignore_110_fcc

I've thinked it was in China.
Maybe I misread it.
Yep you did
In other news my Sp20E arrived finally and I didn't get charged VAT

got my sp20E today.
dhl tried stinging me for 100usd more than the 200usd they did last time....
so far so good with the rig.
how many rigs does one need to purchase to qualify for a t-shirt
Buy another one and contact sales@ before. We'll ship a t-shirt.dhl tried stinging me for 100usd more than the 200usd they did last time....

Maaannnnn......
I just bought a half pallet and didn't got a shirt.....
Don't host them in Thailand...
I won't.
But why?
Too hot i guess!
There was a huge warehouse fire in Thailand that destroyed a significant number of spondoolies units.

This machines needs -69.5 C to work well.
Was just a joke...
With 18-20 C intake I can make 1700Ghs with no problem. With more the hasrate drops because of heating the chips.
I know... underclock... I won't. But this is for other reasons...
What is your settings? like maximum voltage
Don't know by heart exactly. Just fired them up yesterday.
But as I remember:
Start volt 0.72
Max volt 0.79
Max watts 280W or 288W.
Hopefully beefy PSUs and power cables
600 or 750W server psu-s.
1 qmm wires
9 amp rated molex connectors and pins.
The whole thing is hand made (by me)
I hope this is enough.

yeah i see the same thing , 240 v or 110v makes no diff btw , its all about ambient temps

How can i connect to the units if they are not on a home network?

Ordered an SP20 on Sunday and received it in California on Wednesday. I'm running with stock settings in an air-conditioned server closet on a pair of CX750M PSUs and getting about 1.675 GHs. The PSU wires and connectors are cool as a cucumber, although they were slightly warm to the touch when running in my office with a higher ambient temperature.
Easy to use, worked out of the box, simple and clean administration, no fuss no muss. This is a great upgrade over the pair of S3s that the SP20 is replacing. Overall I'm very happy.
One question though. I'm running with the same 2.5.26 firmware that shipped with the unit. Now the admin web app is telling me that I can upgrade to 2.5.33.
I went to the Spondoolies technical blog and can find no information about this firmware version. Can someone tell me what has changed in this version? It would be nice if the update page itself contained a summary of the changes.
In general I shy away from updating firmware unless there's a reason to do so. Once I have a miner configured and productive, I don't want to mess with it, unless it's a new product or has actual problems.

Number one rule about flashing firmware. If your unit is working properly do not flash it and leave it alone.
