What are you seeing for temps on your C1s?

Looks like a great video, it is definitely long.  Might think of having a youtube version or another site.  I kept getting buffering with it and I'm on a good connection.

There is a video here, with english subtitles: http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XODE1ODA0MjQw.html

These are my units, there's about another 100 pictures to process so that's my life for the next week.

I appreciate your help Dogie. You are genuinely trying to help
But
1. Bitmain should not be sending us broken miners.
2. If indeed something went wrong, Bitmain must acknowledge their mistake and do the needful. They didnot even post a firmware on their website or methods that you describe on their website to fix the problem.
3,  They indeed finally post a manual for C1 which does not even show a full picture of how it would look like when operational with cooling kit, whereas they should provide instructions to the last detail to do so.
4, If this is not disappointing enough then let me explain more. I have to run the miner at 212.5 (853 ghs) to keep the miner little quiet. Else it makes as much sound as S3, despite the cooling kit fully operational.
5. The website stops working intermittently or when the temperature rises.
6. I made it work by changing the conf file using ssh and reducing frequency.
7. Website home page still doesn't work, one has to switch to confirguration page to see access the site
http://192.168.1.99/cgi-bin/minerConfiguration.cgi

Well I am pretty disappointed by this miner so far. Wish I had just bought a few more S3's instead, so far the best of all
or
I should have had waited for second batch to not be  the scapegoat in loosing my nights trying to make a DOA machine work.

Good luck newbies, I would suggest wait for the second batch which will have all issues ironed out


Mining with bitmain C1  miner is not for  Dummies.

I had the problem with SD card so I can understand your frustration.  I was one to upload image from my second C1 miner in case others needed it hoping to make it easier on you.

Mine both are working great and quiet.  I also am lucky that it's winter weather outside on temperature.  I am able to get over 1T on each and all the temps in the 30's.   

One thing about your speed they were shipped with default of 250 frequency.  If you run at 212.5 you will not hit 1T.  You will have lower electricity, and quieter, but effects speed greatly.

well, I finally received my antminer C1. It is all set with cooling kit and operational. But it does not work. The web interface does not show up.
If I manually set up a pool in conf file using ssh. It still keeps working for some unknown pool because the PSU is consuming 1000+watts.

Anyone has received it and has it working yet?

Reflash SD with the one in my 2nd post https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.9389747

If anyone needs to reflash if using windows, Win32DiskImager is what copied the SD card and is also able to write to SD.

My post install advice:

    The starting IP should be 192.168.1.99
    Get a nice screw driver you will be opening and closing case (10 screws per miner) to plug in pump, etc.
    Have a little bowl or something for all the screws it's easy to drop the small screws
    Test it with top of case off, to make sure it's working.  If you have problems taking case on/off adds a lot of extra time.

WTF???

Tried to get my miners at the UPS-facility - couldn't get them, the response I got was: "Sorry, the sender absolutely screwed it".



So my waiting continues.... *grrrrr*

@BITMAIN

Do you have any plans to offer an "C1 type" Water cooling upgrade kit?

I have 4x Hashing Boards from 2x noisy S3+

If I was able to purchase the -C1 Case, -C1 Water Block and -C1 Controller board
by themselves then I could transfer those Hashing boards to it.

..... The wiring harness they provide to connect the pump and three radiator fans is a complete piece of Sh!t.  It actually had a short which fried a couple of resistors on one board thereby killing the fan header on that board.  
.....

I am totally agree with you. In  purchased  off four  sets,  only  two had wires in order. One had Interruption and the other short-circuited.

luckily for me, the first was with  interruption, and after that I have already checked the wiring harness with multimeter.
2 x C1  already running, and working fine.

However, 4 x C1  is still unshipped.  Angry

EDIT. BITMAIN Order Shipped

The one in your post. Goes to http://shop.syscooling.com/goods-45.html, returns: 404

Hence the comment on adding car additives.

Fixed. I was just making it clear to others to not use distilled water on its own.

Unsure on exact CFM but its the same as the S3 fan. Distilled water will NOT work due to the mix of copper and aluminium.

The link to the kit is broken. Should be http://shop.syscooling.com/goods.php?id=45

I don't see the CFM info per fan? Distilled water with car coolant works fine too. That reservoir looks a bit small to me. What is the block design? Are the temps shown in the screen shot achieved with exactly that setup?

Block is a 'w' as far as I know. Temps are using the shown setup.

OK...it's 3:00am and I finally got both of my new C1s up and running...the first one was a breeze, it took maybe an hour.  After a bunch of S1s and S3s and doing water cooling on a number of PCs, setting up a C1  should be a breeze for me.

HOWEVER ... the second C1 took me 6+ hours set up.  At the end of the day the issue was NOT Bitmaintech's but rather Syscooling.com's.  The wiring harness they provide to connect the pump and three radiator fans is a complete piece of Sh!t.  It actually had a short which fried a couple of resistors on one board thereby killing the fan header on that board.  

I ended up directly connecting the pump to one of the remaining board's headers and then cutting the connectors off of all the fans, using one to connect to the last good board header (the other is used for the front case fan) and soldering the whole mess together.  

It actually works better this way since the original harness from syscooling just has 12V and Ground, but the fans and pump are all variable speed and the headers all support variable speed and monitoring (pump can monitor rpms and therefore should be connected to a separate header anyway).

Making a GOOD harness would have cost Syscooling.com maybe $2.00 more and would have saved me hours trying to figure out what was wrong and then figuring out how best to correct their crappy harness.  Since there is no way to adequately route the fan and pump wires now (without drilling holes in the case), I have to leave the cover off.  

BTW, Bitmaintech could spend another few bucks and put a couple of headers on the outside of the C1 so that the user doesn't have to take the cover off to connect the pump and radiator fans...just a thought!

Bitmaintech...I will reiterate what I said in an earlier post...Syscooling.com is going to kill your reputation.  If you want to continue to produce watercooled systems, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE find someone that can produce a decent product and who understands what customer service is about.

What overclocking potential do these have? I was expecting cooler temps than that, but without knowing ambient it's hard to say. I'm assuming the whole kit is PWM, so the fans and pump could be run harder if wanted to reach better temps.

We'll see later. Pump isn't PWM and radiator fans aren't but I believe the miner's fan still is.
