Topic: Any ideas why my S17 53th keeps showing 127 degrees and 0.00 hash? (Read 220 times)

so far installing the recovery via SD and then flashing the most recent firmware seems to have made it run well again.

Not sure if I understood correctly but if you're seeing 127-127-127-127 temp readouts that's almost certainly a PSU issue. Try swapping PSU's with another miner that you know works fine to eliminate or confirm. I've had 127-127-127-127 errors on 4 different 17-series miners and replacing the PSU fixed every one.

I hope this isn't just a coincidence with your voltage becoming stable on random bases, but either way, should the problem appear again you have to measure the voltage, don't count on what your electrician tells you unless he is there measuring it live, get a plug and play voltage meter and measure the voltage consistently if it goes anywhere above 240v then that will likely cause issues.

Ok so I did the SD card recovery, had some issues, but finally got that to work. Then I saw in the dashboard it was back to the 2019 firmware, so I flashed the newest firmware and rebooted the rig.

Seems to be running great now! No 127 degrees, so far it's 30 minutes with 40-60 degrees on all chips like before, and it seems to be ok, this is the longest it ran before crapping out on me.

So hopefully this works out, and I appreciate your help, I learned some new stuff!

My electrician just told me I have 240V

This is irrelevant to the question, it doesn't matter how you connect it, the AC voltage is what matters, these PSUs need a consistent voltage rate of 220-240v, they might survive a 200V but nothing below that, also above 240v is going to cause issues, you need to measure the input VOLTAGE and not the amps, the problem could be caused by something else, but everything as of now points to a power related issue, it's either a bad PSU or bad voltage.

Good call, I'll try running them one hashboard at a time.

I did order a replacement PSU to see if that's the issue. Would be weird since the PSU is basically new.

You can find it on the Bitmain download page check this link below

But I don't if it could fix this issue but it is worth trying.

Have you already tried to run your miner with only one hashboard? If not yet then test them one by one.

it ran for 7 minutes fine before showing 127 degrees across all chips 

After the reinstall I hadn't rebooted it and it wasn't running, so I rebooted it, now the temps look normal and the kernel log says this. I guess I'll see how long it runs for...

I'm running it directly to a PDU on a 30 amp breaker like I always do on my 100amp service.

There is nothing weird about that, the s17 series are a piece of trash and you should expect everything. What is your input AC voltage?

I reinstalled the S17 pro firmware and the kernel log still says:

I've been searching online but can't seem to find the recovery firmware to use the SD card with. But I found the normal S17 firmware I can install.

Where do you find the recovery firmware for the SD card?

The weird thing about it is that the PSU is pretty much brand new.

I was thinking of trying the SD card / flashing but wasn't 100% sure how to do it and didn't want to mess up the rig.


Thanks for the link, I'll try to do this today and see if it works.

As the kernel log, it's not being able to read the temps out of these temp sensors, but the problem isn't exactly that, it's very unlikely for a temp sensor to break, in most cases it's actually a bad chip that tricks the firmware into thinking that issue with one of the sensors.

However, the above is valid when the error only shows for 1 hash board, but then you said the 3 hash boards were working fine and then stopped together, and since it's highly unlikely that ALL there boards will fail at the same time, this confirms Zeusbtc's tech's theory which suggests that in most cases when you get a temp error on all three boards it means your PSU is bad.

It seems that the temp sensor is reading abnormal or it is broken.

Have you tried to flash it? If not then try it first then try to test the hashboard one by one

Also, a little bit of research here on the forum will bring you here https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/antminer-t17s17-temp-sensor-problem-discussion-5244120
Reading that would help you to get rid of the sensor problem.

I took apart the rig and checked everything, cleaned it thoroughly, put it back together, and it's still giving me the 127 degrees on each chip after 5 minutes of running it. I have no idea why. Everything looks good, and the power supply is pretty much brand new. Any ideas? 

Thanks for the tip! Hadn't heard of paste bin, just signed up and pasted it there, good to know of this resource, I would've liked to have used it for the past several years lol 

if you want help, try using https://pastebin.com/ to post the data instead of a google drive link.

This is driving me nuts. My S17 53th rig was working fine for the past few months, and now all of a sudden it keeps showing 127 degrees and 0.00 hash. I have to keep resetting it, I'm not sure why. Here is the kernel log. Any ideas?  

It says the kernel log is too long to paste here, so I put it on a paste bin if anyone can help I would appreciate it!
