Topic: ANTMINER C1 Discussion and Support Thread - page 66. (Read 129130 times)

Received my C1 today - here's a quick summary.

- The B2 (with cooling kit) arrived with all required pieces, plus an extra hose fitting, extra O-ring, and two extra clamps.
- The fan/pump power harness was the 2nd gen version that connects directly to the PSU or PCI cable.  I checked it with an Ohm meter and visually - it's wired correctly and the connections appear to be well protected with heat-shrink tubing.
- There were a couple of small plastic 'spirals' from thread cutting inside the pump tank that were easily rinsed out.  There were also water droplets in the tank - signs of wet testing.


The miner, fans, pump, and EVGA 1000W PSU are whisper quiet.  The idling fan on an Asus AMD R9-290 reference card is at least twice as loud as this is.  I have a pair of S3+ and a Dell 750W server PSU in the kitchen with the C1 - it's very difficult to hear the C1.

It's running between .995 and 1.4 TH/s locally, and between .992 and 1.02 TH/s pool-side at stock speed/voltage with no Xs after 1 hour of running.

Also, Spiceminer's Ant Viewer picked up the C1 same as the S3s.

Bitmain and Syscooling - nice job!

can someone please confirm this before i kill a chip?

I got 2 Units on wednesday both seem to be underperforming from there guaranteed spec at stock clock and voltage. One will not take a single step overclock without throwing X I am going to spend some time tinering with voltage and clock speeds anyone have any feed back on voltage steps other than to go in steps of 10?

Voltage Setting
 Modify voltage and Save&Apply, then need to Power off and Restart


I believe the step size is 10 so,
try 0735 or 0745

Im getting 1 x on the unit dogie....

how exactly do i adjust the voltage or whatever to fix this...

I'm really worried that the vaccum cleaner may have damaged a chip?

I thought 800w would be unaffected by the small vaccum but idk omg i hoep  i didnt kill this thing...

will i have to cycle the unit as well after i fix?


**edit** immediatly after posting i cold cycled the unit and the "X" went away. Maybe the power disruption did something.



I really need to look into how to get these things to reboot every 24hrs along w my s3's :/ link?

*edit* confirmed x what is exacting procedure please?

I ordered this on Sunday and it was delivered to my office on Wednesday at 10 am. (Phoenix).
Never messed with water cooling before but it was up and running within 90 minutes.
I guess I got lucky.

Question - Has anyone tried over-clocking this or is there a thread for that?

BTW if u change the ip address in anyway & the webgui wont show up use :

http://192.168.1.*/cgi-bin/minerConfiguration.cgi

Change the star (*) for the number of ur miners address

My 2 cents...

Running 1 x B3-S3 at stock 440gh

           2 x B10-S3 at 500gh

           1 x B2-C1 at 1000gh - see pick above if u have x's in ur asics change the voltage to 0735 from 0725 (Came with new style cooling kit)

All things concerned beyond this point, If someone see's something wrong with what i'm doing please speak up as i have learnt a lot from mining from cpu to gpu to asic but there are some things that i might not have my head around so please take heed that im no pro...

All due care taken, No responsibility accepted

& i do have some questions to ask after & a pros & cons of what i think normal people should do...

Ok i run both my o/c B10-S3's at 500gh on 1200w solarstone power supplies (Overkill i know but its not easy to find power supplies with 4 or more pcie plugs) They run smooth as... No problems.

My B3-S3 & my B2-C1's run off 2 x corsair 1000rm's - These have 6 pcie connectors & are cheaper than the solarstones. I feed 4 x 6 pin pcie connectors to the first 2 blades & then i connect 4 x 6 pin pcie connectors from the other corsair 1000rm - The remaining spare 2 pcie sockets from each power supply go to a blade each on my B3-S3 - I make sure i turn on both power supplies at the same time to sync the blades - If u get any xxxx's on anything in this config i just restart the miners from within the software & this usually fixes the problem - So far no problems all running smooth.


Ok Pro's & Con's

Pro's take up smaller footprint than 2 units although the housing is slightly bigger.

Con's U need more area for the water cooling radiator.

No coolant came with system - brought from petrol station. $10 for 1lt used 750ml


Questions i have : Do i need to use 8 pcie connectors to run the C1? Or can i run it just with 4 meaning i can turn off one power supply?


What i would have done differently is just brought 3 x S3's and 2 corsair 1000rm's giving me 12 pcie connections & run those without any worry about cooling systems from failing, I can live with the noise, I just dont wanna stuff my miner cause of a pump failure (let alone downtime caused by failure)

Next move if nothing better on the market before hand is AntMiner S4 2TH/s @ 1400w which is almost the speed i'm doing now using only half the power consumption.

Overall my results have been great compared to everyone else here (I get a rough 2.5th out of the rig), I think in 25 pages only 5 people have posted with 1000gh on a C1... Not real good if u ask me.

The water cooling element to this is so they can sell 4 blades in a small container needing to ship one item instead of 2.. Its called cost cutting...

The only difference between the S3 & the C1 is the water block & pump. Power used is the same, noise is about the same, U need the same amount of pcie connections (And lets not forget there are only 2 people on the market who sell power supplies with 8 pcie connectors meaning u'll prob need 2 power supplies to run a C1) & last but not least the radiator fucks up the extra space u save.

My Suggestion - 3 x S3's and 2 corsair 1000rm's before u make the jump to the next category of miner. No Mess, No fuss.....

Side note - I usually buy my systems & chop & change thru my gear, I have never paid a cent for any of my gear, Its always been paid for with the coins i earnt & only since the beginning of this year it looked like the price had dropped on bitcoin so low that its almost not worth doing anymore, I made $300 profit after electricity on the last 3 months, Without switching off my S1's & changing to a C1 i would lose money on this quarter.
 
My house is so much cooler & quieter since i turned off my 2 x S1's

Oh btw FUCK BFL!!! RIPOFF CUNTS!!!! I would have brought an S4 by now....

The ambient room temperature is there 20 degrees Celsius . Miners temperatur max 45

mr Tupsu, may you pls post the picture of your setup? 2miners,2radiators, 1pump
what is the temperature sir?
is it going to be ok if we make it like this?
1st Miners -> Radiator -> Pump -> Miner -> Radiator -> back to 1st Miner

if i run this

http://shop.syscooling.com/goods.php?id=46

it says it can sustain 4 of the c1's

can i integrate the stock 3 fan w pump into the same or separate loop totaling 6 units ran by 11 fans?

also does the 8 fan kit come with the updated harness? If so do you have to plug it into 1 or 2 c1s?

Try one or two steps up from default

im too lazy to post pics atm but i will...

I'm in the middle of preparing to transfer to something with more power.

Im also ordering two more b3 c1's tonight to hookup to the 8 fan unit.

i kind of wish i didnt get the radiator because i dont know what to do with this.

If 8 fans cools 4 c1's would this 3 fan cool 2?

if i can plug 2 into this 3 fan that would be perfect

What is the max voltage you can enter without damaging the C1?

Apparently I'm not able to sustain 1TH/s as guaranteed. If something is sold on the basis of that guarantee and it doesn't meet that guarantee, what's are options?

Pumps should follow quite a nice bathtub curve, so if you can survive the initial period should continue well.

Mind to share some picture on how cool it is?

ive been running for idk like almost 3 hours now without issues...

when i hit the 7 day,30 day and 365 day mark out of the pump i will be impressed

What exactly is the expected life span of the pump per sys cooling

They choose Dogie as their forum PR, what do you really expect?

Here is how Dogie would say to defend Bitmain: You paid fucking $50 for a whole kit. And this makes you money so what are you bunch of greedy fck?

I'm not even jking about Dogie's fcked up ethic.
