Topic: Antminer S1 Upgrade Kit - page 8. (Read 16027 times)

Hi,
Broken means, only the ventilator are working.
I try to connect blades to other controller and blades are fine.
First this problem starts without contacts to the blades, controller blink but don´t start working.
Now Controller don't make nothing, is dead

I Can't find the Taugeran's post regarding unbricking.

Yes Taugeran, your service as welcome, please Mp.

Wish this was priced better, would have loved to upgrade and double my hash but at this price better to undervolt and slowly squeeze every penny out off these guys.

Ill even comment on this. If you do not feel comfortable messing around with/ or do no have immediate access to a uart bridge, I am more than willing to offer my service***


***we can discuss options, if you desire my help

please elaborate "broken".
There might be a way to get them back to life.
Have a look at Taugeran's post regarding unbricking.

Someone Can Please Help!
I have 2 broken control boards of my old Antminers S1. I need these boards to the Ugrade Kit?

Please inform which part of old Antminer S1 will be in use in new Upgrade Kit, it seems everything is in Upgrade Kit. Nothing of my old antminers - except the support structure - will be recycled even the old fans are not in use with the new Kit, correct?

Use the pencil mod to undervolt you will drop to 140 gh but the temp will drop to 30.

I did, it's probably quite close to replacement, but that would be missing the tinkering fun...

Cheers

Does '420' make me absent minded?....

I did built a cardboard case for the S1 just to try to cool it down. I did not change the fan though.
It did NOT help at all. Still runninig at 46°C with fan Speed at 2220 and freq. 375. Makes 190 Gh/s avg.

So we will need a case to reduce the noise i have no idea how loud the  S3 are out of  the Case  s1 are annoying enough at times .I'm re modding the cooling on my two S1 for a little  less noise .



 more sells for cases, i see all kinds of way to make money if that's  the case and a smart move  on the DEV part .

Another thing you'll need to consider is the noise. I had to take apart an S3 for an RMA and had it running without the case and it was loud. The fans make a lot of noise - aka old school vacuum cleaner noise. It's something to consider if you're a home miner and have ppl in the house that tolerate your hobby.

S1 may or may not go up big time at first till we do .

Id rather pay 150 US in the US for one then buy it off ebay, in some cases eBay is great  but as some one  said about eBay the cheap ones on eBay are most  likely on there last legs and well used and sense no one really knows for sure that Ive seen how the upgrade works i mean what condition the old S1 need to be in what does it replace . etc etc  . expect what the add said you get  two boards and some other stuff which looks like a normal upgrade kit do we need the old boards etc etc


 I might be wrong can't say i only buy certain things off eBay then it's new. .


 i see why he would require the two kit buy some will buy the kits just to build two S3 at a very reduced price  if all you need is the heat sinks and frame .  


 over the years I've found when doing most upgrades you don't need the old one  , its just makes it easier if you  have it  .  well any way I'm done just my  2s worth sense i have not seen  just what it does . my bad you get with the kit


1.   2 units of hash boards

2.  2 units of mini customized heat sink

3.  1 unit of adapter board

4.  1 unit of control board holder

5.  1 fan including the fan's cover and screws

6.  4 units of white plastic brackets, 2 units of 2x10 pin cables, 8 screws, 8 spring screws, 1 bag of thermal paste


buy looking at that you won't need the S1 in any way just a the kit and a  little no know how  unless the S1 has some thing on it you may need.


hm can't wait two S3 for the price of one all you do is put it to gather which some can't do .

I dont think anyone has since you can still sell S1 for $110 on ebay.

One question its not to clear to me do we need two kits for one S1 or it that how hes selling it . if so i don't have a problem with it  either way but be careful imo If we only need one kit I see why  hes requires a two kit buy, I've  seen some places charge the price for two or little less for one kit the way the adds read you only get one for the price of two or a little less   . so yea I'll hold off as well to see how that plays out .



O yea the S1  is still very use full but if i need one kit per S1 or  even if  its needs 2  per S1 still worth it to me, if you have a S1/s ones all ready.  


 upgrade one  sell off the other kit . if you only plan to upgrade one i can see other reason why  you have to buy two but as i said  be care full if its one kit per S1 .

How many of you ordered the s3 kit?

Awes come on it's like tinkering around with a good ol. 457 big block to get that extra little bit of muscle out of it. Good ol Father 'n  son time

You'd save 0.12 BTC and probably need to spend an hour of DIY per miner to upgrade. I guess if I still enjoyed doing this I would go this route.

Not worth at all, its like replacing instead of upgrade kit..

what's up!?  (hint hint)

coupons!
