I run at 1.007TH/s on 2 miners with stock setting. I want my 0.001TH/s Bitmain!
Joke aside you don't have more clues about your corrosion/pump problem Opentoe?

These C1's really need a new firmware. While other models have gotten many, this C1 has just gotten 2. His adverting speicifcations are not what is really happening in real life.
connect a laptop directly to one of them after hard reset. Then do the usual 192.168.1.99.
if using windows, make sure your networks settings are set to directly connect to miner
Does it connect?

My 20 miners are NOT STARTING!
It was running between 50+ to 60+ degrees, hence I decided to stop it and re-position the entire rack placement and put in extra air-conditioning to the room which took me about a week plus.
Now when its all good and I try to restart my miners, it would not start at all.
Powered it on, as usual the cold-start sound for less than a minute then it turned silent.
But it did not turn up on the designated IP address.
Tried restarted it couple of times, still the same.
Noticed both Green and Orange LED lights was up, tried to look for answers online(nothing much).
Tried factory reset, paperclip hold down reset button till it flash a couple of times and release.
It tried to restart by itself but just a very short "cold-start" sound for a couple of seconds. (Red LED light was up at the same time).
Then it went dead again and nowhere to be found, neither the designated IP address or the default 192.168.1.99.

How can one of my father's C1's be 1000 watts at the wall? Freq is on default and voltage is only 730 or less. But his P3 meter is indicating this C1 minter is pulling over 1000 watts. What's going on here Bitmain? He had to do a cold reset and that finally brought it down to 800, which is still a little high. Have to keep an eye on things daily which is starting to be a pain in the ass. 800 watts it what it is supposed to be. I think there needs to be a new more solid firmware written to possibly take care of some memory leaks and watts increasing like that.
Have ran the ebay pump on both of my C1's working great 1-2 month. Also using the molex to 3 pin power adapter. Only addition I have done since then is adding 3 fans to backside. It was not necessary but did add a little more cool air.
I also have it on a glass table. After original pumps let liquid all over I like knowing that I never have that again.

Received a C1 this week from Bitmain. Opened up the case and see one of the screws that holds the heatsink to the side is missing. Do the screw holes go into the waterblock internal liquid channel? Meaning, if the screw hole is open, will liquid from the waterblock leak out the screw hole that has the missing screw?
No,waterblocks won't leak without screws on it.When we test it with air compressor,there isn't any screw on it.
this is what i want to do http://www.datatank-mining.com/immersion-cooled-500kw-single-rack-mining-platform/

If you are Running more that two c1's that's what should be done. I connected 4 miners this way.
I will scale up to 12kw in the future. Im designing a cooling tower + heat exchanger setup for the summer. Should be pretty fun.

Your presumption is probably correct , the syscooling pumps are as cheap as they get. Damn manufacturers always cutting corners trying to increase profit at the sacrifice of quality. The USA needs to bring back manufacturing and quality control 
stop with all this china junk. I myself would pay more for a miner created in the US with a warranty backed by US regulations and of course the quality control standards we have. Bringing back manufacturing would also solve alot of the economic issues, create jobs etc. etc. etc. A topic for another forum But yes indeed I have seen so many people complaining about syscooling products, and its no surprise when you look at the price of their junk compared to the price of reputable PC liquid cooling companies like swifttech and corsair theres that old saying "you get what you pay for" try getting a swifttech pump for less than $70 I ordered one of the above pumps as a backup in case mine fails, as we all know downtime is not profitable. One of these days I will probably order a swifttech pump once this unit ROI's then i wont mind paying extra for a higher quality pump, which always has resale value. and everyone should check out this guys cooling system haha https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_gCnvsM-QY

This pump was presented to my by user notlist3d who is here. I took his recommendation and started using it last night when my syscooling pump died and it has been great so far. Completely silent. I bought it from Ebay, but there is also a vendor in China that sells the same one too I think.

EDIT: I used Ironside liquid again, since I really wanted to see if it is that bad or not. I had one blue bottle that I had from when I originally purchased the green. I replaced the dirty hoses and flushed everything out with water. Added in the new pump, filled it up and started it up. So far so good. We will see in a few days. I can't really believe I don't see more people on here with pump/loop issues. Or just just skip the whole warranty process and do their own thing. Can't be a coincidence that my father's C1's and mine also all having issues.
This may sound weird, but if you remember I always had to keep the fill cap open because of pressure. Pressure so high it would just spew liquid out of all the least restrictive pathways it could. Even after a cleaning, new hoses, new liquid I still had this pressure. Dogie, who was just a paid person to keep is quiet in here said it was algae, but algae doesn't grow in one day and doesn't form as a dust. I think the pressure came from the syscooling pump. I think it may have been cavitating every so slightly creating air bubbles in the loop. And after a certain amount of time liquid would just spew out of fill hole closed. Because every single time I would turn my radiator 90 degrees and get a stream of bubbles out of it. Move to the future, now, the only thing different is a different pump. I now can keep the loop fully closed and I don't get any air bubble build up anymore. This of course is all a guess. Lots of variables.

nice pump! u got a link on that? 
what liquid did u use this time?
what liquid did u use this time?
yup i was looking at that pump as well whats a matter with this pump, should i not buy one?
whats a matter with this pump, should i not buy one? Opentoe can you take a picture of your complete loop. You must have something different somewhere. Also can you post which coolant you are using to see if another C1 owner use it.
My 2nd pump failed (been replaced already) again. Doesn't leak or anything, just doesn't power on. I have to RMA it. So I'm using a backup pump that I had which I did not want to use, but no choice.
notlist3d,
That pump you got on Ebay, do you have any pictures of it working and how has it been for you?

Great I can try to get pictures again tomorrow. But by using the 3 pin power adapter from molex on amazon, and ebay to that pump I have been able to not have a lot of the problems Syscooling seem to have. They still work great.
It is not fun to buy all the extra's though to make it work proper for me. Not to mention extra liquid after thier pumps left mine all over(luckily was glass table and cleaned off pretty easy). I can personally say this is last watercooling miner I ever do.

Me and my dad bought several of these C1's and now almost all of them are having issues with the coolant leaking out of them because or the pressure. He cleaned our his entire loop, used new hoses and went for distiller water with silver kill coils and the [BOLD]VERY[/BOLD] clean loop sat over night running and then he unscrewed the fill top and liquid started spewimg out. There is now way algaue grows that fast, overnight. I just can't see that happening. There must be pin hole leaks in the system sucking in the air, creating pressure.
What the heck to do here? These are all fairly neew miner's, and maybe the 90 day warranty had A little part in this, while most are a year.

There must be something environmental going on for all 3 units to have exactly the same problem. If there was a pinhole leak then you wouldn't have any pressure build up either. Did you follow up the RMA offer?
Environmental? Yea, we have pointy ears, drink diesel fuel for food and come from another planet. Dude, they're all sitting in a dark basement and have been running fine since day one. For all three of my father's and one of mine having the same issue cannot be environmental. We live 2 hours apart from one another. Unless this mysterious environmental issue is following me.
And the substance/algae is not slimly or gummy. It is more like a chalk when it dries, and it is white. A fine white type powder sticking on the insides of our clear tubes.
One the first picture you can see the tubes turning white. That's not algae. But this white stuff has to be coming from the inside of the loop somewhere. Maybe the aluminum block is breaking down or the radiator? That's my only opinion on what could be happening. And the tubes to the left are of course new replacement tubes.
Then this picture is of inside the pump. This is not algae. If you rub your hands on anything it kind of turns into a white powder. And the pump spinning wheel, that's colored white, that was covered in an entire sheet if this white substance, easily washed off by water.
Algae to me is a gummy, slimy, smelly growing substance in nature. This stuff was nothing like the kind.
Thats Aluminum Oxide.

Received a C1 this week from Bitmain. Opened up the case and see one of the screws that holds the heatsink to the side is missing. Do the screw holes go into the waterblock internal liquid channel? Meaning, if the screw hole is open, will liquid from the waterblock leak out the screw hole that has the missing screw?
No its a sleeved threading I believe.
To test with out water... Hook up water tube, keep out side closed, blow in to tube
