hi, Blissz, I'm going to flash your firmware over my D3 to try to improve its working.

I have 19,3 GHs model and first thing was to lower the frequency.  I set it to 506 Mhz where I get average 18200 GHs, the power consumption is around 1130W. I find those settings are the sweetspot regarding HW errors.

HW errors appears mostly in the second hashboard, arround 200 a day, also third hashboard is around 4 Celsius degrees hotter than first and second - can these be fixed with changing voltage  ?

I  heard from some folks, that undervolting the graphical cards for mining could harm them in longterm (if this is true at all) - do you think it is the same with asics ?  I'm mainly conserned about loosing warranty - can Bitmain obtain any info from my D3 if there are any custom firmwares (antbleed is probably history now) ?

thanks in advance for answers,

best regards to you and to the rest of community










Blissz , anybody ?

My machine never restarts, I don't know what you're all complaining about. Anyways, I'm running it at only 14 GHs for silence. By the way, I wanted to add that there's a free monitoring software besides minera and awesome miner that works great. Dev is responsive and planning to add some control options in the future. Check it out here:

looks simple and effective. Thanks for sharing!

Does anyone think 80c which is the max temp on auto silent is 100% safe long term though?

before switching to 220v I didn't want to stress my 15 amp circuit and wanted some headroom for the 85 degree limit in case my garage started to heat up. 
Currently my garage is staying around 73F with an outside temp of 45F, last week outside temps were 70F+ and the garage was up to 83F.  I also want to keep the noise down as much as possible as to not piss of my neighbors or HOA.  With no current way to remove the air from my garage, I'm stuck running them a little slower.  I'll probably start ramping them up after a few days to find the best noise / fan speed / hashrate combo though.
Got it, thank you!  To clarify, is there a different level of importance on the two temperature identifiers? Temp(PCB)   Temp(Chip).  In other words, my current temps are:

Temp(PCB)   Temp(Chip)
51               77
49               74
52               78

Does this mean I can ramp them up even more until the Temp(PCB) gets near 80, and I can disregard Temp(Chip)?

Is there any reason people are clocking these so low?  My D3s are running >600 with temps <80.  Is there a profitability aspect I'm missing?

FYI, in case some people didn't know, there are at least 2 different hardware versions of the D3.  I know because I have 2 that were both supposedly from the same late november batch, but they look different and have different brand fans.  The first I received is shorter than the 2nd one (less of the vent holes and less space between the fan and the bottom of the case), but both have the 19.3 stickers on them. 
Both of them seem to run better at voltage 11, comparison of both running on Auto Silent mode:
 #1 is running at 462 frequency  chip temps (79,77,70), no HW errors, fans 2520, 3390 -- 17,321.95 MH/S (avg)
 #2 is running at 494 frequency  chip temps (78,72,28), no HW errors, fans 2940, 3810 -- 18,498.36 MH/S (avg)

I've also experimented with quite a few frequency / voltage / manual fan speed combinations when I was running on 110v (just switched to 220v this weekend).
For example on 110V, #1 at 400 freq/ 1 voltage, 35% fans was using 745 watts, #2 at same settings was using 734 watts even with the fan running faster...

The #1 miner always runs hotter at the same frequency and always required a higher voltage to run stable.
I don't have a way to monitor wattage now that I'm 220v, but I'm going to run them for a few days on the current settings and start trying to make adjustments again.

Now, taking all of that into account, half the time if you reboot one of the D3s they run different than before, even without changing settings, these things are finicky...

Try with lower frequency 537 is to much, don´t know why bitmain do it, but there are to much HW-Errors and the Miner get mostime to hot, too

When you run the Miner with 220-240V then try 506
with 120V try something around 450


can't help but throw this in again, doesn't matter if you are 240 or 120 it matters what your psu can do without strain. *IF* you are using an old server psu where at 220 it is producing 1200w and at 110 it is producing 900 w THAT will make a difference - but if you have a 1500w psu that can run on either, then 1500 is the max you are looking at.. the 220 vs 110 is only going to change the amps going *IN* to the psu (less heat on your cord or ability to use a smaller cord maybe less strain on the psu in the way of heat) but that will in no way affect what setting you can put on the miner itself, from the psu out 12v at whatever amps is going to be 12v at whatever amps.. doesn't matter AT ALL if it is 110 or 220 coming in. - thickness of the individual wires in the 6-pin makes a difference, the amps your psu can handle on it's 12v rail makes a difference.. but the miner doesn't care at all. not even the tiniest bit- if you have issues at 120v with 537 then either you have a miner with issues (plenty of them out there) or you need a better psu.


When i wrote it, i have the orig. Bitmain PSU in mind, and this is to small on 120V with frequency 537

I have strange problem
after 4 hours it gives me xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx again
so do I need to decrease the frequency as i have 537 with 220 v
please anyone help

The problem is these boards are extemely finiky. Unfortuately Ihave to run one at 300. No other setting whether i Increse voltage or not works. The good news is my 2 machines  sre getting a total of 30GH is only sucking on 1500W

The best for me on most D3 was 506

I found that a frequency of 506 works like a charm and the miners all work great.  
Ok I will use it and I wish it success but what about the voltage is it = 10
 
you can never say use this voltage or this. every hashboard is different,
Sure you can start with 10 and go up until it´s stable, but the finetuning you must make for every board.

What does that mean, "the miners all work great"??  Can you be a little more technical in your response?

Hi Blissz,

please can you change your fee to be mined not every i think 2 hours for minute or so, but better once per day for couple minutes? i dont like that my miner disconnect every two hours and start mining again..what you think?
- autotuning option will be great!lets say, i will set my miner fan to 25% and temperature to 75degree or so. and it will start tune each board separately..one by one.. this will be awesome really.
- what about new firmware for L3 or S9 miners?


thanks

Go in your firewall and block the pool he uses. Easy solution now it won't eve mine for him!

This is what happens when the dev is not open to people's concerns regarding the fee and even the transparency of it.  People can come on and defend the dev all they want, and nip and paw at anyone who complains, but at the end of the day, if the concerns of users are not addressed (or appear to be dismissed), things like this will happen.  I'm not endorsing this.  But it is reality.  Dev, come on, just address these concerns a little.

Hey Blissz,


What fan speeds are you showing for Low(quiet)

Both machines are 1700-2700.  Is there a reason they arent same speed?

I am using the firmware on 2 machines, but on one of them 2 of the chains got simply hidden and a lot of HW errors appear. Hashrate seems the same as before (18/19Th) even just with 1 chain appearing, and on prohashing it also says its 19Th. I have flashed the original firmware and still just 1 chain appears. Any clue in what is happening and how this can be fixed?

I even have reduced frequency to 400mhz and lowest voltage to see if the chains appeared. Machine was working fine 2 weeks ago.

Also tried to softreset, didn't help. Also PSU is a good and stable one (EVGA)
Try with higher voltage setting, some hashboard are a little crazy.
exmpl. I have 1 hashboard that work well with voltage low - 3, but when set Voltage on 4 or 5 i can see only 56 ASIC´s when go to voltage 6 and higher all is normal again.
