I decided to raise the voltage up to 0.62, hoping this will give the bad chips more headroom. At the same time i lower the Maximum power consumption (to somewhat the same with what the stats told me when my voltage was set at 0.6)

Ok now I get what are you talking about. I thought you are talking about the Basic Settings. My mistake. You shouldn't lower your maximum power consumption because it will be lower since you are lowering your voltage. And yes the dead chips are because of the low voltage, but personally I just ignore them as long as I am happy with the hashrate/power ratio.

accurate power consumption at the wall should employ a kill-a-watt. the SP readings are only as accurate as the PSU provides, whcih likely has a +/-5% range.
If low temps are an issue, why not reduce fan speed to make the unit a bit hotter internally?

My Kill-A-Watt is only working for 125V, has a 5%-15% variance in accuracy -- 15% at the ends of the measured range and is good up to 15A.
The unit has a quality check but is not calibrated in any way. IMHO, the PSU readings are as good as Kill-A-Watt readings.

More expensive Wattmeters might give you what you need, but do NOT rely on a $20.00 piece of electronics for high accuracy measurements. Look for units which come with NIST calibration certificates, as they usually will check the whole instrument span and tell you the expected variation in readings (3 points, 5 points, 9 points certificates are usually available) under the form of a curve.

Funny, my SP30 started to suffer from the 2.5TH drop recently .. where the bottom board completely shuts off >> http://powerprice.info/SPT/graphic.php

LOL Now it died..

Update:

I think i fixed the issue with dead chips, however i still need SP Tech to confirm the the power consumption is actually accurate.

Common sense told me that the reason for chips to become dead is due to low voltage. Some chips dont have the same tolerance as others.

I decided to raise the voltage up to 0.62, hoping this will give the bad chips more headroom. At the same time i lower the Maximum power consumption (to somewhat the same with what the stats told me when my voltage was set at 0.6)

After 30mins, i check the ASIC stats and no dead chips!. Power consumption state at what i set.

Can SP confirm the setting of power consumption indeed work? and the reading is accurate? I dont have wattage reader at the moment (since i use 240v plug )

Zig,

Here is what i found so far playing with the setting

1) Under low temperature (15c), low voltage(0.6) setting doesnt work too well. Some chips randomly become dead (xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx). Hashrate is fluctuating due to this.

2) I bring one of the miner into the office to diagnose (room temp is 24c), same voltage 0.6, all chips are working. Hashrate is actually stable and abit higher. However i think the power consumption is abit higher which is understandable due to higher hashrate.

The efficiency is still not at what i want. The default minimum start voltage is 0.56 based on the setting shows, does that mean you actually tested them at those voltage? I'm afraid these chips wont like such voltage since 0.6 has already been too low for it (cold)

zig,

I've been playing with the setting for efficency. Should i leave the "Maxium Power Consumption" alone and only adjust the voltage?

Thanks.

I don't think you can have them both. Am I wrong? I thought that you have basic settings (low, normal, turbo) and advanced settings. Once you hit advanced it will over-write the basic ones so once you modify the voltage it will follow that rule and it will ignore the "Maximum Power Consumption" one.

The power consumption setting is actually in the Advanced setting.

It was a separate setting a while ago (few first firmware versions)

That's what I was saying. You can't have them both!

Huh? You misunderstood what i said.

Under advanced setting, i can set both voltage and PSU power consumption. What do you mean i cant have them both?

Our core team, not including contractors, is much more than 12 people.
I'm waiting for the first SP35 assembly this week (and firmware adjustments) to give full spec update.
Refund process will start this week also and expected to be over in October timeframe.

Patient please. We just had 2 days of intensive "Inside Bitcoin" in Israel and I have a lot of catchup to do.

Hi Guy,

Can you prop up the btc price. Thanks.

haha
this would help...NOT! Tongue

Any update about the SP31 deliveries? I expect these units will be delivered in the days to come; Is this the case?

I keep receiving e-mails from someone called Ori from S-T about the refund, asking me for my bank and address details.

I replied to these e-mails but my replies were ignored like they have not been read and I was responded with the same reply, keeping asking me about my bank details. Are these e-mails legit? What's this all about?

We apologize for the confusion, please disregard the emails.

Is this reading accurate? I take that says 1256 W from AC (the wall)?

The 1256 is the 12V DC power. Depending on your mains voltage, your PSU efficiency might be anywhere from 88% to 92%. If it's 90%, then your AC draw would be around 1395W.

It is now a week into the "second half of October"...why is it Spondoolies refuses to provide consistent updates on the status of their products?

Is it that hard to log on every couple days? You'd think they'd want to provide information to their customers, but I guess when you've already got their money...

As far as i can tell SP is providing reasonable updates. Take a moment to scan the landscape and look at KNC, BFL and even Bitmain. I am sure they will provide a update soon

Guy is really, really busy at the moment. Rest assured that the second he gets a free minute, he comes on here to update you guys and answer questions. That's not always possible of a CEO of a huge company.

Huge Company what crack are you smoking? I just checked their site and it looks like 12 people work there. http://www.spondoolies-tech.com/pages/team

For contrast, I support a company with over 28,000 workstation endpoints and I don't even consider that to be a huge company.
