EDIT: i just found info on the net that lot of people have problems with the heatsinks falling in this units, i guess was not the underclock autotuning.

I confirm, in fact you didn't have to go so far, reading this section alone, you will notice that the majority of the problems reported happen because a losen heatsink/chip, it's almost always the case ignoring the obvious PSU/Network issues.

PSU is good, need go to my office (where my soldering equipment is) to put the heatsinks back to the bad board and see if it work, i will salvage the sensors from the fry board to fix the other one...

Before you do that, I suggest you apply some pressure on all other heat sinks (from one of the sides) just as if you are trying to remove them, by doing so, you will be able to take out all the heatsinks that are due to fall either way, so it's better to fix them all at once than having to come back to the same issue a week or two later.

I try recovery and nothing.

I remove one board that was not working and leave 2 board, one was working fine but the other got problems, i have to unplug the miner 3 times before it work.

I install vinish firmware to see what happen and it work, somethimes report 1 sensor somethimes 3 sensors and other times all the 4, was random but still it work until i try to underclock (autotuning), in the process from the board with temp sensor problems 2 heatsink moved and one fall to the good board and make a short, the good board was destroyed, burned, kaboon... shit happens Cry

PSU is good, need go to my office (where my soldering equipment is) to put the heatsinks back to the bad board and see if it work, i will salvage the sensors from the fry board to fix the other one...

Right now i have the equipment with the board with only 2 chips, vinish software have no problems detecting the board and is working fine, somethimes 1 sensor disappear, i just reset and voila, sensor is back.

There is always one sensor that report more temperature than others, the software always take the report from the sensor working, lets say this is the temperature report:

60-79-55-62

If the board boot up with only the 55 sensor working, the software take as reference that temperature, lets say you configure the max temperature to 77, if the sensor that show 55 go to 77 °C the sensor that show 79°C will go to 90°C or high and i guess this happen with my equipment.

By the way the fans of the latest equipment from bitmain are shit, brand nidec, they are loud and move lot less air (1.6 amp), i have to change then to delta ones.

Sorry for my english.

I am happier to know you fixed your miner than knowing I was right Grin

, all credit goes to zeusbtc for taking the time to write the article, the owner of that company is very helpful and very friendly and never hesitates to help, so really I shouldn't take any credit for his work.

I reflashed the firmware on the new problem unit, and it has been running all 3 boards properly for 2 hours 28 minutes and counting. Fingers crossed 🤞

Good to know you got yours fixed too, hope it stays this way.

So now as far as the temp sensor issue is concerned here are my recommendations to fix it.

1- Flash the recovery firmware using a Sdcard, and then flash the latest firmware.

2-If 1 fails, your next suspect is the PSU, check the screws, tighten them well, clean any dust and try.

3-If 2 fails, try a different PSU because there is a possibility the PSU is bad and cleaning it won't do any good.

4-if all the above fails, then it's safe to assume that one of the chips on the hashboard is bad, it's usually the first chip, refer to this image to identify the chip, sometimes the heatsink is a bit loose and by pressing it down ( applying some pressure using your fingers) could fix the problem, if not then you will need to remove it and glue it back.

Edit: Rebooted once after the error. And we're up and running.
So, to summarize....... after a dozen or so reboots, and factory reset, still randomly threw the error and dropped the board. Reflashed the firmware and it ran fine almost 4hrs til it threw the error. Did one reboot after that error, and it's running real nice 15+ hours and counting now.

(And maybe I should start looking to miners other than Bitmain for less headaches)

Edit: ran 20 hrs til it dropped the board this time.

Hello mikeywith.
I have to say, you were right. Grin

I've already solved this problem.

The problem was at PSU, It was so dirty in the air intake where the fans are, that it couldn't get any fresh air in, It was completely covered with dirt. I guess the PSU components overheated and sent the wrong voltage to the hashboards

After cleaning the PSU my T17 works correctly again.

Thanks!!!

I'm having the same issue. S17+ 70th arrived Friday. Unboxed and hooked it up and it ran fine for almost a day. Saturday afternoon, I notice its only running 40th. It's dropping a board, after a temp sensor failure-to-read error.

I've rebooted it a bunch of times and did a reset on it. It's still doing the same thing. I'll probably try a re-install of the firmware today. If that doesnt work, I'll just run it at 40th on 2 boards til the halving, then send it back for repair/replacement. It was an "extra" miner that I got, paid for almost entirely with account credit.

Here, you can see at the bottom of the log, it restarts fine and runs 70th.... then after a time period (sometimes 10 seconds, sometimes 20 minutes), it drops a board after not detecting a temp sensor.

Since they are authorized by zeusbtc then I would still trust them, what the main branch says does not really contradict with what the branch in your country told you, it only weakens the probability of the latter, also I must make clear that it's not just because I tend to trust the main branch more - I base my points on that alone, it's more like common sense, what the Chinese branch said has much higher probability of happening.

Quote from: jacktman on May 01, 2020, 09:58:55 AM

Indeed, you are right, it's very possible, however, it's unlikely, the way the board is designed should not let a single sensor stop the other 3, the proof is we are aware of some hash boards that work with less than 4 sensors, which means the probability of a single sensor stopping all others is kind of low.

Quote from: jacktman on May 01, 2020, 09:58:55 AM

In my case the 4 sensors of the 3 hashboards are failing, so I read this failure is related to the PSU?

Yup, your problem is power related, I am 99% sure it is, and let me explain why:

Reason 1:

You now have a total of 12 (3*4) broken sensors, does that make sense? NO

Reason 2:

You have at least 1 bad chip/heat sink on all 3 boards, how possible is this scnerio? i would give it 1% at best, provided they all failed at the same time.

Reason 3:

Something that has an effect on every aspect of the miner, we have two things, the control board and PSU, from the various reports and personal experience I doubt the control board will cause such an issue, so what is left? the power supply.

I would still suggest that you flash the recovery file using an SDcard, and then flash another firmware, see if that helps,

Quote from: jacktman on May 01, 2020, 09:58:55 AM

Something that also disconcerts me is that my T17 in the cooler hours of the day works normally.
Which is why I thought it made sense that the temperature sensor. Huh

This actually adds more strength to the power supply being the issue, the sensors are designed to work at temps between -40c to 125c, it doesn't make sense that 10 or 15 degrees change in the ambient temp will make them work or not work, however, a 10 degrees change makes a world of difference to the PSU and the chips, I am suspecting that your PSU is overheating at noontime and fails to deliver the DC voltage needed by the boards, also during peak hours the voltage at your house/farm might actually drop to below 200v and thus causes the miner to not hash, make sure you measure that too.

If you have a spare PSU, I suggest you try it, or at least measure the DC voltage coming into the boards from the PSU

Quote from: jacktman on May 01, 2020, 09:58:55 AM

you say you solved the problem by pressing on chip 1
Did your t17 fail on just one sensor or all of them like mine?

4 sensors 1 board, the other two boards were fine and reading all sensors, so it's a bit of a different issue from yours.

Quote from: Scorpyy on May 01, 2020, 12:13:06 PM

This could actually be true. My 2nd T17+ got broken a minute after i tried to overclock it. Worked fine for 2 months before that. So please do not go over 800 Mhz on default cooling.

overclocking has more effect on the chips than on the temp sensor IMO, so it's more likely that some of the chips got toasted, you can test them with a multimeter by the way.

Quote from: jacktman on May 01, 2020, 09:58:55 AM

try lowering the frequency.

That's an excellent idea, even when the PSU is having some issues, going with a lower frequency might fix it.

It is possible if 1 chip fails then the whole chain fails. Also if your machine works normally in cooler hours of the day, try lowering the frequency.

thanks for sharing the information you received, I don't have much knowledge of electronics and unfortunately I must trust what they tell me Roll Eyes

It really makes a lot of sense what you say in reference to the 4 temperature sensors, how probable it is that all 4 will be damaged at once?

Thanks for your input, I did contact zeusbtc's main branch china, and they told me quite a different story, not saying yours is wrong, but I think this one actually makes a lot more sense.

To summarize that article, they simply imply that if all temp sensors of all hash boards can't report their temp then it's a PSU problem ( not a very common issue), if however less than 3 boards 'normally 1' hash board shows the temp sensor error, then the problem is one of the chips/heatsinks and not actually the temp sensors.

The reason why I am 99% positive about the chip theory is due to the fact that the chances of FOUR sensors going down at once are very very very unlikely, those sensors don't produce much heat if any, they are located across different areas, I am not saying they will not fail, but highly unlikely for one of them to fail, let alone FOUR of them.

To strengthen this point further, based on the article sent to me by zeusbtc, they suspect that the bad chip is usually the first chip, so we tested a T17 board which was giving us the 4 sensors error by putting some pressure on the heatsinks of the 1st chip pushing them down really hard, i learned this method from a video on youtube on fixing S9s boards where he pushes his finger against the heat sink to see if it reports voltage, just kind of making sure the chip is actually in contact the board and the heatsink is in contact with the chip, as naive as it may sound to you, the board DID work and all temps are being read perfectly.

I, of course, don't expect this to last forever, it's a matter of time before the heatsink becomes loose again and we go back to square zero, but at least we are now pretty close to determining the exact problem of this common problem, and once I have physical access to that boards, I will remove that heat sink and put it back, but for now, all of this is done remotely with the help of a friend.

Anyone who has the same problem, please try the remedy, also keep in mind that it may not always be the 1st chip, but if you have a multimeter that reads diode's resistance you can easily identify the bad chip by measuring the heatsink against RST as shown here.

Hello, I have the same problem with my T17. I contacted the Zeusminig authorized service in my country and the technician confirmed that this problem is very recurrent in T17 and T17+ models. Mostly it is because at some point the machine was exposed to high temperatures, damaging the temperature sensor, the good news is that they have already repaired this fault by replacing the sensor, the bad news is repair cost is $80 for each board. If I have any new news I share it.

An update on the situation.

With the help of a friend, I was able to identify the part number of the sensors used on the S17 which is T45187JP9KY , apparently, there is nothing about that on google, so we had to check another miner to confirm, we found on the S9k the sensor part number is T45188J, so this gives us the idea that the sensors used on Bitmain boards must be (T451) which may be referred to as TMP451AIDQFR or simply "T451 Temperature Sensor".

Current Issues:

The temp sensors on the T17 are nowhere to be found ( this is all my friend doing the job so far as I don't have access to the hash boards at the moment), this leads me to think that they might be next to chips but UNDER the heatsinks, they are pretty small and they can pretty much fit in there, so if anyone has a T17 hash board and a good magnifier and is willing to contribute, kindly help us find those sensors, the info you needs is

- They must be 4
- They can't be located next to each other
- They likely have a label that starts with (T451....)

I have concluded based on my experience and the numerous complaints online that the most common issue with all the new 17 series gears is the temp sensor.

Getting this error in the kernel log:

Code:

temperature.c:697:get_temp_info: read temp sensor failed: chain = 1, sensor = 0, chip = 64,

Indicates a problem with the sensor, in some cases, the following methods will help fix it.

1 -Reboot the miner.
2- Sdcard the miner using the recovery firmware.
3- Flash the latest firmware.
4- 2 and 3 together (Sdcard and then the latest firmware).
5- Installing a none-Bitmain firmware.

The success rate, however, is not so great with all the above remedies, and it looks like replacing the sensor is a must in most cases.

My plan is to use this thread to combine our efforts in gathering all the information we need to know about this issue and how to fix it.

The process contains 3 steps:

A - Identify the sensor positions

The new gears have 4 sensors, based on the image posted by Luke in regards to S17 and S17pro.

source support.bitmain

He also sent me this image of a T17 hash board.

source support.bitmain

He told me that the 4 sensors are located near chip 9, chip 7, chip 22, chip 24.

And based on his explanation to me, I have concluded that these 4 sensors on the 17 series gears are always located around the the third column ( 2 sensors above and 2 below) regardless of the miner's exact model.

B- Where to buy them

So far the only piece of information I have on this is provided by fellow member taserz which indicates the sensor has the part number TMP451AIDQFR.

I currently don't have access to any of the hash boards to confirm it (thanks to the quarantine), if someone has it, kindly look up the part number printed on the sensor ( it won't be easy to read as these sensors are very tiny).

I should be able to visit the farm in the coming days, so if nobody provides the information til then, I will do it myself.

To Do:

1-Confirm the part number.
2-Locate the best source to buy the sensors.

C- How to replace them

No information is available yet.
