Hello guys .
special greetings to Mr. dogie

firstly, I would like to thank you for your great installing guide which helped me a lot to install my c1 miner .
secondly , I realy want your assisstance to make my miner mine .
I'm very new to mining so please have patience guys if you see any silly questions  Grin .

my c1 miner is 2nd batch with cooling kit .
I'm useing 2 cooler master psu's (  620 watts & 725 watts , 85% efficiency ) to power the miner .

I connected 4 pci's to the miner ( 2 from 620 +2 from 725  in one line ) . the cooling system is working fine .
but the miner is not mining . I connected the miner directly to my labtop using ethernet cable following your  guide .
 the first thing I've noticed is that If my labtop is connected to the miner with a cable , it can not connect to the internet using wifi . 
I logged to the setting page on 192.168.1.99 to change the worker name to my username.1,
 then change network settings to dhcb . then I connected the miner to the internet cable but it doesn't mine . I note that when I turn on the miner
 it lights red around 1 minute .

 I have no idea how to find the miner page after changing the ip adress to dhcb, but I can fing what ip is assigned to my labtop if I connect it to the intenet cable .



You could look in router for connected devices.  Also can use M's program to see antminers on network.

If that fails there is always reset, and as last resort putting the image listed in second post on sd.

Let's see if I can't help you... still waiting on my C1's but been mining for long.

First of all, I figure you changed from Static to DCHP, well, the miner needs an antenna if you go DHCP (WiFi)

Secondly, to access the computer, you need be on the same subnet as the miner.

Manually change your computer's IP to 192.168.1.199 (Yes, .1.199)

You should now be able to access your miner's interface.

However you still need to directly connect to the miner itself to change its settings... you will need an ethernet cable and a router/switch.

Sometimes you can connect directly to the miner sometimes you can't, via ethernet cable... (I never use DHCP)

If it don't work directly or with a router though, you will need a switch... you may need to even change your router's IP address since some routers use 192.168.1.1 as default address which often conflicts with a mining network.

Personally, I cannot connect directly to my miners and have no idea why but works through a switch or router.

If you go buy a switch make sure you get a big enough one you can grow into with GigaBit (10/100/1000) ethernet. (No pun intended)

I got a 24 port Rosewill, has a 5 year warranty and costs around $100, tough and does its job perfectly and then some.

Anyone know where to get and what the correct terms are for the water cooling connectors from the C1 to the tubing?  I need to get ones that are 90 degrees curved.  Is G1/4 90 degree barb correct and what about the 1/2 or 3/8?

The thread is called G1/4, that's the bit the fitting screws into. On the other end, the tubing needs 8mm ID, 10mm OD.

Thanks notlist3d and dogie,

I will wait for new firmware that Bitmain will have to post due to some broken miners that may have gotten shipped.
Also, because I have no energy and time left budgeted for this miner over this weekend.

My only frustration is is that despite known problems in shipped miners, Bitmain has not reacted promptly to provide easy solutions to problems like firmware.

My C1 is operational for now though I have to run it at lower speed and manage it with stupid alternatives  e.g. saving miner configuration still does not make all pools operational, (it is random but limited to first pool dead in most cases).
I have to run cgminer from command shell using ssh to make it work.

Thanks for your advise Tupsu, will keep that in mind and that precious link.

regards


The problem you described appears to be a bad SD card which isn't going to be fixed with new firmware.

I just read this entire thread.  I have a solo setup and previously had an S1 on it with no issues and I cannot get the C1 to work. It works with other pools no problem but no matter what I have tried it always comes up "dead" on the C1 . The S1 for the URL I just had x.x.x.x:port and then it would add the http:// on front and work fine (mostly/bit flaky still).. the C1 adds the "stratum+tcp://"  and even when I set it to http://*.*.*.*:port it still shows up as dead.  Is there something different that needs to be done in the C1s?

This quoted post is the only thing I found semi similar but even in different pool slots other than #1 it still is always dead.  Everything else is taken care of ie node is fine and other miners including S1 connect fine and ip is in the rpcallow in the conf. Any ideas..  it is 11/26 firmware

I believe 3/8 ID if using the syscooling tubes.  (Please some correct me or verify before OP uses this number to order parts)

Anyone have a meter or Kill-A-Watt hooked up to their C1?  I've notice something that I can't figure out.  So when I started running the C1, the meter showed after a while that it had settled at about 760 watts, but a day or two later it settled at about 860 watts and there it stayed (these are ratings after the power supply so add about 9% for at the wall power draw).  This morning the circuit breaker tripped over an hour ago, when I reset it and the C1 got hashing again, the meter is showing about 770 watts for over an hour now.  The C1 was off for only a couple minutes, so not enough time for the coolant to cool down much, so I don't think it's heat related.  Anyone know?  The hashing power shows the same on the C1 interface and the pool website now as before (actually a bit better, previously it was about 1,005 Gh/s on interface and 990 Gh/s on pool website).

Interesting, I thought I would try this, I am getting a constant 788W with a EVGA 1300W it does not move? I have a batch one with my own coolermaster coolant setup Rad/reservoir. I can try on another if you like, I should be getting a batch 2 through soon with the supplied water cooled system.

HTH

Mine has been running at a constant 770 watts for 3 days now.  It's strange to me that it crept up to 830-860 watts previously, but plan to just reboot it if it does it again.

Decided I would try to set up two C1's on a single pump, am going to try this pump/reservoir to run two radiators and two C1's.  We'll see if it's enough in the next couple weeks.

C1 arrived in a record time. Miner is ok, but the cooling kit is the worst thing i have ever seen. The water pump leaked on the first power up and died after 1 minute work, wiring for the fans is bad soldered and the wires are so thin, tubes for the radiators soften if the miner has temperature over 40C. They should take care about this. Syscool should raise the price for 5-10 usd and sell quality not quantity ! ! ! Next purchase will be only miner. I dont need crap

Only bad thing about this miner is the cooling kit. I replaced my defective fans (the ones Bitmain wouldn't honor with an RMA on a brand new C1) with a high quality high CFM, but quiet fan and is keeping my temps down 2 degrees across the board.



I had one broken fan - out of the box.

What make/model of fan did use for the replacement?


For the radiator fans you can use pretty much any mid range model, or 2x cheaper fans.

Not all fans are created equal.

Airflow (CFM)
Noise (db)
Speed
Price

I have been using an el cheapo case fan as a replacement.
That C1 runs hotter and I can tell the Airflow is significantly less on that fan.

THANK YOU, SIR!!!   Cheesy Kiss

@notlist3d

Hey, could you share the link to the pump you use?

Please!!!!!   Wink

Sure! I am using http://www.ebay.com/itm/380693788606 powered by www.amazon.com/Phobya-4-Pin-3-Pin-Splitter-Connection/dp/B007S3T4O0 .  

There could be better ones out there.  I just had to get one in a hurry to get my miners back up.  Those did the trick.



I'm using the exact same pump connected to the syscooling gen 2 harness...it has worked fine for a number of weeks at this point.

interested want buy c1, i want ask.. if im buy c1 ready for use..im mean no need buy watecooling kit ?

Batch 2 C1 includes a watercooling kit so you don't have to buy it separately, but you must install it to run C1.

Possible cause to and solution to pump malfunction and system running hotter that some of you may have if you plug the harness directly on your power supply.

I installed a second C1 this afternoon for a friend. At first the pump was not functioning. I checked the current on the wiring harness with a multimeter and discovered that I was running on 3.5v. I checked the pin-out of the 6 pins aux on the power supply and discovered that the 12v was coming from another pin than what the harness was expecting. The fan were spinning on 3.5v. For fun I tried to plug the harness on the 5v and discovered that the pump is running but a lot slower and the miner was about 5 degree hotter when the fan and pump run on 5v but it's working.

So if you plug the harness directly on your power supply check the voltage that you have. You might think that the pump is not working because your harness receive 3.5v. Also your system might run hotter just because you are on 5v.

In the end the miner is working perfectly.

I can say I had two with cold ambient temps.  Temp was not cause.

On a side note I am still using the ebay pumps and amazon molex to 3 pin power adapter all of which is working good.
