i recall a thread where someone combined a broken avalon with a 3 module rig to make a 4 module rig, anyone recall this?


Several people have done this.

If I replaced my fans in my B1 do the need to have a certain amperage?

I am looking on Ebay and saw these fans from Foxconn -

Thanks

Anyone more than me that took the hassle of signing up at tradehill?
avalon, what a joke, b3 4 90GH units for 16btc, and avalon mini 2 board (oc'd to 375mhz) 60GH unit 9btc.
Luckily , they have hundreds of units. so far i can only see one mini that has the 9btc bid.
If they put up some reasonable prices ok..

As long as the units are on hand that's not too bad. ButterFly 60GH units that people have on hand generally go bout 2k to 2.5k or about 14BTC here in Toronto, ON, Canada. If they aren't on hand units and you have to wait 8 months to a year to receive them then yes your right! Smiley



They are all in stock on hand. to be shipped 24hrs after auction end on the 10th of october. but overpriced imo..

Auctions have a paradox.  Items that have a lower starting bid fetch higher prices.  He started too high.  He should have started with no minimum bid.



I guess not many people went through the trouble of sending their ID's to get ripped off...

Okay this is strange. I keep getting error messages from the site after I post a message, then I wait a bit and hit post and it tells me the post is already here, so I come back to the end of this thread and my message is not here. LOL

I am wondering if anyone has noticed and or figured out what the batch 2 avalon's run cooler than the batch 1's?

Thanks

Question for the more experienced people on here than me Smiley

I've had an Avalon Batch #2 running for about three months, has been hashing nicely at 344 with a few reboots here and there. I updated to the latest firmware end of the last week, and I have noticed that this morning my hash rate has dropped by about 15 GH/s (Was previously 80 - 82 GH/s).

Miners 22 - 24 are reporting far lower matched work than the others, with miner 24 very low. Is this a sign that the chips are on their way out and/or need re-thermal pasting or something else?

Thanks!


Make sure your ribbon cables are tight to that module and make sure the backplane is snug into the hash boards.

Check the power cable for that module also, inspect the connectors on both ends for any evidence of heating due to poor connections.

If the cables are ok inspect the module for burnt capacitors in the defective miner sections.

If you have a meter you can compare the C1 voltage readings between miner sections.

C1 - 680uf - is also the capacitor that has been failing on some of the units.

I think that the DIY Red Avalon project auction went as high as 19 BTC for 1 unit.

But then again that was before KNC even had a chip Smiley

Now that KnCMiner has proven chips, the pricing game has changed and future difficulty rise will make aggressive pricing a strong selling point.

Anyone else experiencing huge lags accessing unit via browser? I switched the Ethernet cable around and I'm sure my router works fine.

I'm r38031.

this looks sweet!!

is there any limit to how much onfo can be input into the more options field?

what is the current 'best' options for B2 rigs - i have mine set as;

 --avalon-fan 95 --avalon-options 115200:24:10:36:350

 20130821 f/w.

I currently have 6 pools set so appears to be plenty of room in the 'more options' field.

For batch 2 --avalon-auto is all you need using the latest firmware, I have the fan set in mine (and temps as it's a batch#3) but ckolivas recommends leaving it out and letting his firmware sort it.

The magic smoke left the 680 uF Tantalum capacitor C1 on the hashunit (10 Avalon chip submodule)

I cannot find a Bill of Material.
Does anyone have a MFR part number, or a Mouser number?


You can find the bom & prints here - https://github.com/BitSyncom/avalon-ref

I wondering what settings I should use on my B1 and B2 avalon or if --avalon-auto is the best setting for both?

Both are using the kolivas 21/08 firmware.

Thanks,

--real-quiet --avalon-auto --avalon-temp 50 --avalon-cutoff 70

Nice, you should notice better stability also.

Is your unit a batch 2 (previous firmware - 20130723)?

If so you need to remove --avalon-temp 50 --avalon-cutoff 70, these 20 degree higher settings are for b3s.

It should default to the lower b2 settings.

it s a B3 - 4 modules with previous firmware - 20130723

temp is 70 and 90 for this model

now
