I wouldn't be too alarmed by the x's.  Reset once.  If that doesn't fix things swap the ribbon cable to another port.  If it still shows x's on that new board # it still can be the psu.  Make sure your power feeds are tight.  And yes this trouble shooting is all safe and listed at Bitmains Zendesk.

Also worth saying the 3 I am selling not a single X.  So hopefully shows the care Ive taken of them.   So around 500 per unit + shipping.   Feel free to PM if anyone is interested in all 3.

I'll probably be selling my S4s and S4+s soon if anyone is interested. Located in Montreal.

I'll see if the unit i receive can run quiet enough. If so and the price is right, i could be interested, but last time we negotiated a deal you backed out without ever giving me a reply.
One S4 is about as loud as 2 S2's or 4 S3's.  They definately belong in a garage. 

But the S3 i had was completely silent at low ambient temperature. It was quiet enough that it didn't raise the ambient noise that was at 40dB~. I very much doubt i could make a S4 run at 40-50dB but if i could that would be great!

At the moment i can make S5's quiet my running cool air through them. I just kind of wish i could do the same with the S4.

Thanks for the screen. Doesn't overclocking the unit overload the PSU?

Also the temps are surprisingly low, are you able to lower the fan speed to reduce noise?

No some units overclock better then others.   I personally did not push mine up that high but 212 or so freq no problems.   Get's you a little extra.

I also have 3 S4's I'm thinking about getting rid of of anyone is interested.  All one owner, and have not been pushed hard.  Mine are in US and in hand so can get shipped out quick.

Where are you at in the US and what are you looking to get for them?

I think around $500 per and I have 3 of them.  I am in midwest USA.  All have been one user (me) and are in hand have not been ran in data center environment but home miner, been treated well. 

I would not be looking to make money on shipping.  If anyone wants to make an offer feel free. 

That's a fair price. What batch are they and did you have any issues with the Power supplies?

They are batch 2's.  No issues with PSU's.  Have 3 and all have been great miners for me.  Have been home miners so I stick with treated nice no bad data center use.   Also have been ran on 120 their entire life.  Doubt that matters but just in case anyone is curious.

Have never been crazy overclocked.  Highest any ever went was the 212 option, and 200 is default.   Currently turned to 200 as I am wanting to get pictures of status showing them work for day's at that.   

They have ran up to high 20 day's with no issues. One was over 30 day's on current but a storm knocked out internet so I turned them off around a week ago.   But all were high 20's and one on 30's days.

I am supposed to come into possession of a S4 shortly. Anything i should check out first before accepting the trade?

Can anyone post a screenshot of the Miner Status dashboard so that i can see rpm/HWE%?

having some issues with an antminer s4


https://i.imgur.com/mm4mS2r.png


https://i.imgur.com/bWiB9Ce.png

so I pretty much figured out that I have a bad IO board by putting in a good working one into this miner from another working miner. I am having trouble locating anything on fixing or replacing this board. Anyone have any insight on this?

Your pics lack the asic status.  Are all asics showing o's, any - or x's.  I do believe there is an updated firmware version you could upload to the S4.

My only troubles I had pointed to the psu which can easily be the cause of everything.  What does the front panel screen show it hashing at?

Please be careful taking advice from Meech as he doesn't have a kill o watt & doesn't run tests on his own machine to give u the right advice u need... Oh & did i mention his S4 was in getting fixed last time we checked in...

Please read the comments on the page or so before this & make up ur own mind as to weather u take his advice or not..
Leave your tasteless comments out of the threads and yes I have a kill-a-watt, 3 exactly and a sound meter.  My S4 is fixed now, thanks to Yoshi.  What have you offered on the forums with your wisdom?

I would like to see more aswell.  Please share status screens.

I have never seen someone stack like that.  It's unique to say the least. But amazing if that works with that setup.  Are you running downclocked or standard freqs?
