If its a front fan then try running without it, S4s are quite significantly overcooled. If its a rear fan, swap it out with one of the front fans. Temps <60C are fine.

Will it run without the fans plugged in? Because, if the S4 can run without the front fans plugged in, I can live with <65C and reduce the noise by half! Grin

Edit: Or even switch the rear fans to the Deltas.. wondering if it will work... hmm....

I believe so, yes.

I tried the Delta 120 mm 5500 RPM PWM TFC1212DE the signal is reversed, slows down when it is supposed to speed up.

Would still be sufficient, only need 2500-3400 during sensible ambients.

Hi, I had a quick question if anyone is willing to help me. I seem to have mistyped my new password and after a few hours of trying to figure it out, I seem to be lost haha. Does anyone know if I can SSH with PUTTY and manually reset the password, I tried to do the factory reset, but I seem to have a bit of metal in the place that is set up for the reset button :/ I just purchased the unit not a week ago.

Thanks,

Even if you change the password in the UI, that will not change the SSH password. SSH login as root with password admin. Then you can run the factory reset script /usr/bin/factory_config_reset.sh.

You can reflash your SD card (see link in post #2) if you don't want to go through SSH.

I have 1 S4 that keeps 1/4 shutting down after running for a day or so. When I look at the miner stats it shows almost all x's on the top row. Power cycling the miner makes it run nominally for a day or so. I am using normal settings. Has anyone else had this problem/ know a solution? I am using slush with 2048 for a diff.

No known solution yet. Most times this shows its once a week or so.

I could not make my S4 boot itself to hashing without fan1 plugged. I have to unplug one of my S1's fan and connect it to my S4's fan1 connector so that it boots correctly. Maybe something's wrong with my S4 but it won't mine with a missing fan.

Now I'm looking for a compatible fan online, since Bitmain asked me to buy a new unit to get a new fan.

Have you tried swapping the fan cables over so fan1 is connected?

We have Qty 48 $400 off coupons for Bitmain S4's expiring on 2014-11-30 22:18:00 that we will probably not use.
Anybody interested in these should email [email protected]
We would like to sell these coupons for .25 BTC each.

Best regards,

Of course you'd like to sell your 48 coupons for 12BTC, but here, on Earth, you can just ask bitmain for coupons and they will add them to your account for free.

Want to put a permanent speed of the S4 fans ?
for example Speed 2,520 (r/min)

Here is the software solution.
Miner General Configuration. Setup. Stop running when temprerature is over 80℃

You'll need to make a restart. (switching off PSU )

After restart, all temperatures is 0℃ and fan speed 2,520

Warning. Use on its own responsibility in a cool environment.

That's not true, this checkbox doesn't affect the fans. Your fans might be running at 2500 rpm because of the "cool environment" but not because of the checkbox.

I tried to to turn off two fans.
But in this case two fans who stay beginning to run at higher speeds and noise from this is not quiet

All my 4 fans are already at max rpm, so noise will reduce in my case, I believe, but temps will go up. I'll be good if temps are stable <65C.

hehe... I'll test it out witht the new S4s I'll be receiving in a day or 2. Man.. if they can run on just 2 fans, that would be terrific. The noise level will drop ALOT!

And if it works, that will also mean I'll have spare fans... double wootwoot!

Hey guys,,

Im currently running 11 S4 with 9 more on the way,, I have been very pleased with the s4,, however I have 1 issue that Im hoping you guys can help with,,

Just got this one yesterday, and one hashboard is only showing 11 chips,,, I have reloaded firmware,, power cycled,, rebooted,, reset to defaults,, opened it up checked all connections,, reseated all connections,,

and nothing,, same result,, chain 1 is showing only 11 chips. ANy help or suggestions would be appreciated.

I already have one S4. I'm WANTING to purchase 4 more S4's on the 29th of this month. However, hearing this kind of crap concerning "quality and control" is beginning to make me have 2nd thoughts!

I have a fan out and can not get the proper replacement and they just left me hanging will not send me a new one or tell me where to get the proper one..
There is your answer.

If its a front fan then try running without it, S4s are quite significantly overcooled. If its a rear fan, swap it out with one of the front fans. Temps <60C are fine.

Hi,

I have a problem with my S4. I run it for about 7 days and soon after, it started to be very unstable. Hashrate would drop to 1.6 Th, after reboot it wouldn't start mining unless rebooted twice. Last night its been playing up badly so I rebooted it once, that didn't solve the problem so rebooted it again, after that my miner never came back. I had to power it off as miner wasn't responding. Since then, my miner is dead, I get LCD coming up but its blank, LED on network port is flashing, LED's on controller are on . I don't get red LED next to display so not sure what's wrong.

Any idea? Help much appreciated.

Cheers,

my guess is the SD card in the controller (Its a beaglebone right?) Get a class 10 card, image it and try that

Yeah, reflash the SD card with the image [this is MY image by the way...] in the #2 post. If that doesn't work, see if you can find another SD card to test with (4GB+).

Have to remember the scale of S4s sold - 1000s and 1000s. Those customers without problems have little reason to come here so what you see is a concentration of problems to be debugged and solved.
