Is this a specifically a software problem(Cgminer) or does this indicate possible hardware damage due to overclocking?

Its a configuration/software issue. Seen this a couple of times as I was flashing within the various firmware. You can try flashing it back to the stock firmware. Hard Reboot, Cgminer configuration, change the speed settings, save & reapply settings.

So I thought I'd make it easy for everyone to try the latest cgminer 3.3.0 and overclock settings all rolled into one, so here is a firmware with the overclock settings settable from the web interface:


(perhaps my mistake was that I have kept settings)



I got this same exact Cgminer API error

HELP ME PLEASE!

My unit has been offline for 8 hours now Sad




kill cgminer process (needs to be done twice)
save config again.... try 345 instead of 350... it seems more stable for me
goto startup and RESTART cgminer.....

repeat this process every 5mins if not working

is this good enough for upgrading a batch 1 PSU?

Mine had a 750 watt Gold Enermax, so replacing with a 750 watt Bronze power supply may not be an upgrade.

Is someone able to compile the same firmware but with variable fan speed please?

Temps are 42 and 46 [I only have external air being piped to one intake at the moment so can make the 46 lower]. I need to sleep next to this thing and 4k rpms don't exactly help Cheesy

Maybe because you pushed it to 350 stock? Smiley

Is there a way to set max temp to 48/49? One of the modules sits on 47 which triggers max RPMs.

Also those of you running upright, do you have the PSU at the top or the bottom?

PS: Att to strombom

Can you comment why values are different and timing also?

Thank you!
Best

It's timing settings, I did not have the information available so I simply extrapolated the numbers from the four available settings. Maybe those provided by BitSyncom are more optimal, so use them.

I have tried it and I am back to FW 20130519 which was the most stable for m

with 300 and 325 cgminer runs only a few minutes, the fans went up to 38xx rpm (noisy) and then cgminer restarts


thx for your work Smiley
PS: I have learned again -> never change a running system Cheesy


is this a batch one or batch 2?

either way it should not be doing that on 282mhz......

Thank you ckolivas!

If you could add the 5Mhz steps from strombom into your firmware and the ability to change it via web interface, I will send you a tip of 0.5BTC  Wink

+1 for the 5Mhz baby steps. Would be nice  Smiley

I had one of them a bit farther away from the router and the upload took much longer till it timed out on the first couple of tries.
Either make sure the connection is fine or just do it by connecting it directly to another computer with an ethernet cable.

Thanks, I will try it with a direct cable connection.

Did you power off/on the maschine? Try another Browser? Turn off antivirus/firewall for this moment?

Yup I tried everything... even modified the upload time-out settings in Firefox.

I think it's possible to start an update script from within the shell.
But if not I will make a direct connection with a laptop orso.

Can someone post the donation settings for ckolivas ?

I can't update from the web interface because it gives me a time-out error.
