So I've looked through many, many pages and haven't found it here.  Is there a list showing frequency, voltage, watts & ghash anywhere for both under & over clocking?

I'm building a larger closet in my recreation room to house up to 96 S4's.  I will delete this picture in a few hours.

I see you already have a little future miner in thee too!  How many GH/s is he?

My kids all call my miners "daddy's money machines" :-)r

How is the noise of the S4 compared to the S3? I know its obviously louder, but is it just more fans = more noise, or do the fans spin faster = higher pitch?

I think the S4 must have bigger/faster/louder fans.  An S4 is much louder than four S3's, and heats up a room much hotter and faster.  I used to run S3's in my office, but with an S4 in the room I couldn't talk on the phone!

One of my four S4's LCD screen is blank.  It will not boot up.  The LCD lights up but just stays blank.  Can someone help?
Yes I can tell you exactly what the problem is. If you have rebooted a couple times and the screen is blank that means the SD card has moved a little inside the S4 and the firmware is not being read and booting up the machine.. You need to remove the 6 screws on top of the case, pull off the cover straight up, look inside and find the SD card, push it in and it will then pop out, then reinsert. The S4 will work then. I had to do this on 2 out of 4 today.

That did the trick, Sir...

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!

Added two new S3's and four new S4's to my little farm.  Went up from 9.2 TH/s to 18 TH/s.  So, I've almost doubled.

I will delete the pic in a few hours.  Please don't mind the mess with the wiring.  They are about to be moved to a new closet I'm building.


looks fantastic! How is the noise of the S4 compared to the S3? I know its obviously louder, but is it just more fans = more noise, or do the fans spin faster = higher pitch?

I can stack shelves of S3 units without any concern over noise, but a single loud unit like the SP10 (WHIIIIIIINE) or any rockminer gear (VVVVVVRRRRRRRRRRR) sticks out like a sore thumb. S2 was totally reasonable

From October to May it averages out to .068 cents per kWH and from June to September it averages out to .0787 cents per kWH in Alabama:  http://www.alabamapower.com/residential/pricing-rates/standard-rate-family-dwelling.asp


You sure you mean $0.00068/KWH?

Nice!!! Looks like you have everything planned out and you're on your way to your very own mini data center Smiley

LOL

Thanks, buddy!!!

It's time consuming but I'm hanging in there to get it done.

I took a break from working on it today (Wednesday).  However, I plan on putting some hours into it tomorrow.

The rigs are hanging in there [temperature wise] in that small closet they are presently in.  The temperatures range from 45 C to 53C.

I think the temps will do a lot better in the other I'm building.  Especially, when I get that larger 6970 CFM fan around May or June.

Thank you very much for the quick response!

I'll give it a try.

I've shut it off and back on several times to no avail.  So, let me give what you said a whirl...

 Grin
If that doesn't work, power down one of the other ones and create an SD card image (win32diskimager works well), then flash it to the SD card on the bad unit.

I got it to work Mr. Teal.

Thanks again for the S3 coupon!
Holy CRAP you have a lot of miners there. Your electric bill must be $2000 a month... How much do you pay per KWH?

Your Desired Clock Speed (depends Gh/s) x 0.00358(my constant) = Optimum Voltage Settings.
example if you want to use 187.5Mhz x 0.00358 = 0.671 V will be best energy eff. adjust.


Trying this on one of my S4s vs. the previous recommended 0.685V at 187.5.

Been running a few hours, so far, so good.

after the payment (btc) has been more than 48 hours, but the order status is still "unshipped"  Huh

Bitmain prioritises actually shipping over telling you they've shipped. When you get tracking it'll likely be a day into its journey.
