OK so no 4 module over clock with this PSU

just 3 module over clock

thanks

You need to bear in mind that most PSU's don't/can't supply all their "rated power" on the 12v rail.

Apparently though this one can, is this what you have?

also got the Version without i wich "only" provides 71 Amp @ +12V Rail -> 852W
so an other argument not to use this with a 4 Module overclocked avalon  Wink

good psus nearly provide their maximum load @ +12V !

I run the AX860i on two avalons with no problems thus far. I also have set the fans to 100% on the psu.

"In a nutshell, the AX and AXi series are completely different internally, the regular is a re-branded Seasonic KM3 (with minor changes to primary caps) and the AXi is a custom flextronix unit with DSP. AX uses better quality components overall, while the AXi has better efficiency and tigher voltage regulation."

710 Watt is measured at the wall (plug/input). PSU has about 80% efficiency which means that 4 Modules will consume about 757W (710*0.8/3*4) at OUTPUT. PSU is rated what it can supply in OUTPUT not what it consumes in input. If you measure 4 modules at Input (plug) you will see that they will consume about 757 +0.2*757 = 908W

So once again 850W rated PSU is fine

Just to be on safe side check what is max Amparage that 12V rail can provide. It has to be greater than 757/12=63Amps. Most modern PSU's will do that. Having 1000W psu with weak 12V rail < 63AMPS (just an example) will cause magic smoke to come out

In short watch PSU Output Wats + !!!!!12v Rail AMPS!!!!!


The AX860 is a 80+ platinum rated psu what means it has an efficiency of over 90% (94% @50% load and still 91% on 100% load) @ 230V
(115V is a little worse) check it out: http://www.plugloadsolutions.com/80PlusPowerSupplies.aspx#

So the estamined 950 @wall will be about 860 Watt output and thats exactly the limit Sad
I think Corsair is a good psu so it might have some reserve BUT I wont run a psu 24/7 at its limit!

When I calculate the output 710*0.92 = 653 output /3*4 I'll get 870 Watt with 4 modules
maybe it would work for a while but its very risky

or will you loshia give a guarantee for your YES promise???

i was trying the new firmware from 519b but now i get zero hashes, i see only discarded getworks!
no temps no fan readings! reboot does not help not even the old April's firmware
i wonder if something has died!
in processes i see only cgminer --avalon-options 115200:24:10:50:256 -q
then i get to cgminer configuration to save and apply the pools and i see a new cgminer process but together with the previous one!

What works for me is to go to cgminer configuration tab and hit save and apply.

You should wait until all the settings are set before I check the status.

Avalon running latest firmware 06272013 at 365 speed setting takes 730 Watts at the wall.

70176 accepted shares per hour or 1165.7 shares a minute.

sure?

my Corsair AX860 is pulling 710 Watt @ the wall when running 3 Modules with 350Mhz so 4 Modules would be aprox 950 Watt!?
300MHz is fine with 595 Watt


thanks for that info Smiley

tried with the latest version I had the same 0 hash problem
restored to default and tried to mine for you , but the same it did not worked
hash 0

power cycle , went to 300 , went to auto , is the same 0 hash
I`ve reverted to 519b
maybe the fpga in version 1 has some problems Cheesy
Could be different set of settings that come with the newer version and your old stored settings aren't working. Weird that sometimes it needs a good swift kick up the bum to get going (like restarting it twice). Try the regular 282 default perhaps to start out? With auto it will climb over time anyway.

Am I correct in assuming that ckolivas firmware is meant to replace the strombom and the official Avalon releases?

Yes.

What pool are ya'll mining on and why?
