is there any accepted shutdown procedure for the avalons or is it just hit the off button?
You can log in with ssh and issue the halt command but other than that, most of the system is read-only so you can just hit the off button (as long as you don't have any pending change config / updates happening)

So far, I have not seen a shutdown button on the interface

So if I have inside  750W? there is no reason to change? a model is  unknown ... something in Chinese written on it.
 is stable at 300MHz, 325 goes to idle mode and orange light blinking. the temperature is not more than 48 degrees. it is the power supply or something else? I connected directly to PC because my TP-link internal router not working
Move out PSU from case.
I run my avalon with external PSU at 336 with 750 stock PSU (Enermax ENM750EWT-S RG) and it never restarts.
Tested @354 but noise level unacceptable, 750w PSU easily handle moderately overclocked units.
if problem still occurs than check you "cgminer api log"
It must be something like that (my unit @336 2 days w/o restart):
   [no_matching_work] => 0
   [match_work_count1] => 20069
   [match_work_count2] => 20320
   [match_work_count3] => 20197
   [match_work_count4] => 19944
   [match_work_count5] => 20103
   [match_work_count6] => 19962
   [match_work_count7] => 19976
   [match_work_count8] => 20163
   [match_work_count9] => 20064
   [match_work_count10] => 19961
   [match_work_count11] => 20056
   [match_work_count12] => 20235
   [match_work_count13] => 20173
   [match_work_count14] => 20481
   [match_work_count15] => 20215
   [match_work_count16] => 20042
   [match_work_count17] => 20044
   [match_work_count18] => 19992
   [match_work_count19] => 20040
   [match_work_count20] => 20398
   [match_work_count21] => 19627
   [match_work_count22] => 19978
   [match_work_count23] => 20354
   [match_work_count24] => 20186
All counters have almost same values. (~5% diffs) if not you have defective modules or some module overheated (usually second module w/o temp sensor ).

And you can try to reset your router, may be it's not dead.

All I can say is, how the heck you get a no_matching_work stat of 0...thats crazy! , ever avy screenshot Ive seen has a slight number above 0...

ok, I have Corsair AX 1200 power souply. if I run this as external psu, is good?
I`m trying to reset but still nothing. ping coming, but I can`t conect to tp-link. may be i do something wrong. Smiley

make sure your pc is on the same subnet as router.

Good PSU Smiley
Then check cgminer api log, may be you have defective module.

I never do it by myself, but someone managed to reset this router successfully https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.2673018

There was a bug on BTCGuild yesterday. My 3 units also showed 350GH/S at the peak.
I'd post the picture, but I'm lazy.

I cracked it! Hitting 120GH on a 3 module now Cheesy


Surely you're pulling our leg. Smiley 450 is the max clock rate which puts a 3 module somewhere around 100GH. If not, do spill your secret.
Spent all of yesterday going through the firmware code, there is a trick people are missing. Uses some information from the github as well.

I rechecked the schematics, I doubt it's got something to do with voltage mod, since the voltage regulator is a fixed one.
 That leaves coding trickery somewhere, unless I have grossly misunderstood something somewhere.

Have a nice holiday CON!

Something to share:
My batch 1 unit makes 83+GH steady autoclock reaching 355 Mhz stable err <2%
My batch 2 unit makes 80+ steady autoclock reaching 343  Mhz stable  err <2%

I have tried batch 2 unit clackoed at 350 auto-clock disabled - same performance  80+ with err about 5%

I am sure it is due to HW itslef. I am wondering what may be different. I will play with FPGA USB plugs(jumpers) when i have time

Can anyone share batch 2 results - auto clock ?

just checked my freq after 15h of continuous uptime.  

i've got settings of --avalon -auto --avalon -temp 40 and i have 325 set in default box above.  according to con the latter shouldn't matter.

problem is that hashrate is averaging only about 70 Mh/sec.  i thought it was supposed to go as high as 80-85?

edit:  and freq are btwn 285-305
It's going to really struggle to keep it at 40 degrees. That's probably why.

well, if that's the case then i'm going to try this:  --avalon-auto --avalon-freq 350-375 --avalon-temp 40

i don't care about killing the fans.  they can be replaced.  i want to get the freq and resulting HR up (w/o killing the chips of course  Tongue)
If you don't care about killing the fans then what you want is to set the fanspeed high, not set the target temperature low because if it can't keep the temperature low it will stop the avalon from clocking higher. Remove the avalon-temp argument and add --avalon-fan 80 to keep it at 80%. I don't think there's much advantage to going above 80% fanspeed due to it reversing the flow of the third fan.

just kill cgmiiner in the process tab,(if you see anything about max children, kill it also) kill it 2 times and then goto startup and then RESTART cgminer

I can recommend Corsair AX860i platinum. Not expensive.
But If you want best available PSU than get Seasonic 860 platinum.
If you remove stock PSU from the case (to prevent overheating) than any 750W PSU is good. (at 354 clock 3 module avalon drain only 630w from PSU (735-740w from wall for gold rated PSU))

So if I have inside  750W? there is no reason to change? a model is  unknown ... something in Chinese written on it.
