also, the only way I know of to get 2.5.10 is from the Firmware recovery process with an SD card on Spondoolies website...may be helpful to have that as an option on the Manual Firmware Update.

I have just put up a website to review Miners called www.cryptominerreviews.com, with the purpose being to make real world measurements of temp, voltage, overlocking stability testing etc.  I recently bought an SP20 to do my first review on and hope to have it posted shortly.  I plan to follow up with an Antminer S4.  I have uncovered a lot of issues with the unit, some of which I think Spondoolies has at least reported but offered little in the way of resolving the issue.  One such issue is the PSU choice, which can not only cause boards to show up as "dead" but also have an impact on the hash rate of the machine.  I have tested with multiple single and double PSU setups and found that single rail high efficiency PSU's tend to cause more instability than less efficient smaller PSU's (cheaper)....also there are still firmware issues, if your machine is bricked or showing dead boards, reverting to 2.5.10 then letting the machine warm up with voltage set at 288 then updating to 2.5.12 worked best for me.  I considered leaving it at 2.5.10 but the hashrate was all over the place....cheers...keith

  Yeah I saw  a burnt up sp30 farm overseas  and what does a 5mw farm have to do with a  3-5kw garage setup.

but from these photos you need to use real caution with a prisma


Problem board (107.9C temp):


Working board: (50.5C temp)









I have a location that is good for the sp20 but was not acceptable for the asic miner prisma.
The casing will allow me to address the noise issue


I would have kept both but the inability to downclock the prisma  correctly held me back.
the downclocks would drift up in thermals and watts.

 I could not get it to stay at 1150gh and 900 watts. I could not get it to stay under 1000 watts for any length of time on any down clocked frequency.

 

 I am hoping to finally get a hold of a spondoolies and have a bit of fun with it.

How long does it normally take to ship SP-20 after order?

was that an AMHash farm?

Ok, I tried to add you on Skype....so far no response...is it zvi_shteingart with an underscore or zvi shteingart with a space?

Skype doesn't report anybody by the zvi_shteingart handle...

I'd like to get this problem resolved for an apparently damaged in transit SP20. Asic #4 is not hashing at all, no matter what I do, what voltage I set it at, whether I reboot the unit 4 times or more, etc. Running 2.5.12 latest firmware. I've already reseated the boards, and same symptoms.

Running on a known good power supply right now at 1300 GH/s with 7 out of 8 asics at 250w per module limit.

I have no idea what this is, but I'm posting it anyway.

@seriouscoin,
Am I talking to you, is your name Guy?  No.
I'm agreeing to the "best customer support in the business", and the rest is as it is.
If you deal with any company where you have to send the product back due to damage, you are as you say "at the mercy" of that company. 
If you believe this forum is "a scammer's heaven", why associate yourself with it?
As the adage goes: "You catch more flies with honey, than vinegar.", and you're correct - I am a buyer, not someone who lives by asking for handouts.
You're welcome!

they abolished the slander law in Scotland years ago.. mostly because every event of slander ends up in a fight, anyway, so the law wins 

Everyday I'm learning something new.

Actually, it's libel slander is speech, libel is print.

Sorry, my wife is a lawyer. I had to

The FW upgrade server works fine for me.
Download
http://firmware.spondoolies-tech.com/release/download?id=SP3x&ver=2.5.12
manually (in browser) and upload it to the miner from the WebUI.

As I recommended before, return it. You could have a lemon and it may never work properly. If you buy a new miner and it spends more time hashing below %15-%20 its expected rate for a week or more, RMA it.

What does that 990GH cost?

oh look - 990Gh/s AGAIN!! 


oh look - Current firmware version: 2.5.6
Latest available firmware version: 2.5.12

Wtf? your post contradict itself. Are you agreeing that their service is the best yet you're at the mercy of SP-T to help you with RMA?

No wonder this forum is a scammer's heaven. Getting bent over while saying "YES THANK YOU! "

Here is a new idea: You're a buyer, not a beggar.

Guy,
I have to agree with the above comments, though I have yet to hear from Katya regarding the forms required to RMA my damaged SP20. 
I did contact support at which point Barbara informed me that Katya would get in touch with me regarding the aforementioned.
A week has passed since I sent my initial request to the support team, I also sent a follow up email, though no reply yet.
Thank you,
Ski

Agreed, best customer support in the business. 

Shame everything is out of stock tho

Guy,

Thanks for you and your team on taking care of my general issues (from SP31 RMA's to SP30's running in your DC).
SPTech product and service is exemplary and unmatched. 

Sincerely,
Miner454

I am not going to debate ROHS and PCBs. Previous post deleted Never mind.  I dont care I have and will buy more mining equipment. From this company and others.   

just in time for winter  get that gooooood ASIC heat flowing into my house
