My mini uses the exermax 850w Gold PSU can I push to 450mhz?
I am getting low temps at night around 40c at 409mhz with 80% fans but Im wondering if its safe to push the unit that hard I am just trying to see the limits of this machine..
I am not seeing hash rates over 55gh/s below 400mhz on the firmware Im running (20130821). I have tried a few different versions but I do not see the same results that others post.
I would love to be running at 345mhz but I cant even break 55gh/s its more like 50gh/s. I tired this https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.2552362 with no luck.

At 409mhz I peak at 70~gh/s but its more like 65-60gh/s with HW <2%

This pic is with --quite not 80% fans. I have seen temp 1 as low a 7c but hovers around 11c mostly.
Sorry if this is not the place for this. I did see a post in this thread yesterday that had a few links to OC threads but I could not find it again today.

The only numbers that are important to you are the ones on the pool, disregard all numbers you see in the miner stats.
I think your hardware increase when heat goes up to much, and thats when you are reaching low results..
stick to 375 on --avalon-auto i think is best. (skip quiet).
I get 60gh on mines.. but i restart cgminer automatically every 4 hours. It keeps hw errors low. (0821).

So I think, based on what you said, I have been calculating the HW errors wrong. Thanks for clarifying.

Its a huge thread. Buried back in those posts you'll find it.

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/modification-to-show-hw-and-rejected-on-avalon-cgminer-status-page-254331

Might be useful. Its adds a HW error field to the stats. I have the tab open with that page but have never set it up yet.

Later versions of the firmware include the HW% field, so my little addition is only useful for older versions.

Lol it really is huge I have been reading through it for a few days just trying to learn as much as I can. I just got the unit yesterday and because of all the great info here I have saved myself the embarrassment of asking a few simple questions (minus this one Grin

).

Again thanks for all the feedback. I have to say, this is one of the best forums I have had the pleasure being a part of. Everyone (for the most part) is so helpful. On top of that I dont think I have ever seen a thread that has someone spewing hateful/homophobic remarks.
Thanks again.

Thanks I just did that rite before you answered and it seems to have picked up a little speed and stabilized some. Ill run it all night like this and see what happens. I think I may be pulling to much power off this breaker and that may be causing errors. I keep seeing the lights dim Shocked

Im going to move to another room.

while it's not very safe, it should not matter too much as most switched power supplies will adjust for a big swing in input voltage

After moving to another breaker and running for a few hours today Im still seeing crazy HW errors. I opened up the case and checked all my connections everything is nice and snug.

Avalon mini batch 2

Firmware 20130821
--avalon-auto
1h 20m 6s
60-53GH/s
2617 accepted 85 rejects HW 850
Frequency 375 Fan1 4080 temps 27 49 47

32% HW errors is crazy high. Any suggestions?

Whats the difficulty setting at the pool your mining with? You are using the Diff1Shares as your total shares right? 850 might not be as bad as you think.

Mine is at 2538 HW with Diff1Shares at 388259 so 388259+2538=390797 and 2538/390797 = .65% if I'm doing my math right.

Here is what I changed to set at 400mhz and 80% fans

Well, you currently have 1.6% HW errors. Thats not horrible at all. You need to run it longer to be sure though. 23 minutes is not much data.

(HW / (HW+Diff1Shares))*100 is the formula to find your HW error percentage iirc

Fight fire with photos.

I feel like I'm getting closer and closer to finally getting my mini running, but I just keep having problems. When I configure my cgminer, I go to the startup page and click restart cgminer. At this point, it waits a long time and then says "Bad Gateway. The process did not produce any response." My mini is connected to wifi, so I don't know what the problem is. Any ideas?

What happen to my Avalon?
3 of my Avalon Asic miner are not running anymore.
I have removed one Module and now they are running again.

It smells burned!

Just wondering what every one is considering acceptable errors? I am seeing some high hw errors around and over 10% running
firmware 20130923
@380mhz
temps 16 47 44
hashing between 58-62gh/s

If you put it on --avalon-auto it should find the sweet spot of best speed with < 2% HW errors

When I bump up to 400mhz it gets worse even though temps stay below 50c.

I have no idea how much background knowledge you have about networking, but let's start with the basics, if you plug in the ethernet
cable into the avalon, do you see a link status light going up in your laptop? Do you even have a working physical connection?

When I plug in the ethernet cable into the Avalon then into my laptop a new connection appears in Networks and Sharing Center and that is the one I edit the IP for correct to 192.168.0.101?

I never used Windows (I guess that is what you are using?) but yes, it seems like you get a link-up.

If you set the IP to 192.168.0.101, what did you set the netmask and gateway too? Try 255.255.255.0 and 192.168.0.100

If you have wifi, make sure it's not having the same 192.168.0.1/24 subnet

After you save your settings, can you disable-enable the networking so it actually reloads the values?
