Still having problems on one of my Avalon boxes. I've updated the firmware, disabled Wi-Fi, fuse is not present, ran at minimum 256 MHz, checked cables, and it still stops after mining for just a couple of minutes. Hash rate goes all over the place too. It eventually drops to zero and the LED stays yellow.

Any suggestions?

He bought an avalon for 210btc with 3 modules then paid another silly amount for a 4th moduke from candoo

Wow that's going to take at least 6 months, probably longer, just to recoup the 210btc.  Mine was 56btc back in February and it'll take at least 5 weeks to recoup (up from an estimated 10 days when they should have been released in May).  The game to play right now is to mine enough coins to buy more ASIC gear so you can mine more coins.
LOL, again such a ROI-Comment. Cheesy

Do you know how long capital investment in the "real life" takes for the ROI!? (-;

fyi:
This is my Batch 2 Avalon with the factory PSU of 750w and 4 modules chip-frequenze with about 360!

How did you get 4 modules? When I bought in round two there was only the 3 module version for sale.

just look in your avalon..... as you unplug... plug into your new PSU the cables you need

guys i need help with what to plug into what with my new SeaSonic Platinum-1000 1000W ATX12V / EPS12V 80 PLUS PLATINUM.  this will have to be externalized b/c of the larger size of the unit.

how many cords plug into the avalon's PCB?  and then where do i plug the other ends of the cords into the Seasonic?

Did you change the location of the intake and outlet temperature sensors?
Your fan speed settings are based on those values...
No, I don't know where sensors located Smiley

Have a look at the wires running to front of the heatsink (where the TP-LINK is mounted). There are 2 sensors there. And there is 1 in the back.

I guess you could just switch the connectors on the FPGA board for 2 to change from back to front

1.7% HW error rate?

still your stats only says 3hrs, has it restarted several times?

temps seem low enough

according to con, those levels of fan rate are high.  what an ideal rate?  btw, what units are those figures?

Just buy a sufficient PSU, there are not that expensive. You will have better results.

big difference between slush saying 90,000 in last 0 rounds(which is estimated) and your hardware saying 110,000

90,000 on 360mhz with 4 modules is not good speed anyway....... I run 80+ with 3
Its 90,000 in the last 10 rounds... (-;
You see actualy 111,000 ^^

Dude,

PSU will die in a second. Do not do that and change PSU immediately


I also think that this is no good idea for the life of the PSU.
With this settings it has to deliver around 820-850 Wat I think...  Shocked
It takes 940 Watt from the wall!
