Did anyone at all received a 4 module without PSU unit yet?

I did, and I can't seem to get the damn thing to power up. I've tried two brand new PSU. AX 850 and an OCZ 1250. Both of them wont even power the fans. I don't understand why, I have my buddy helping me, we have even opened up my batch 2 to compare PSU. I can connect into the server but i can not get her to power up.

Has anyone had the same problem?

I figured it out, i had 4xPCIe (6+2pin) cables plugged into the all 4 of the slots on the PDU. I needed to plug in 2xPCIe (6+2pin) and 2xCPU (4+4pin) into the 4 slots. Now she is purring like a sexy little kitten.

How you've managed to plug the keyed connectors wrong? Shocked

I put mine at 350mhz insane setting 850w and 3 module batch #3...

it stopped hashing to slush's pool. I tried switching to btcguild pool and it stopped hashing as well.

I am using "--avalon-auto" for my options...should I add more?

My batch #2 under --avalon-auto runs between 340-350 MHz. It seems to like 345-347. It hashes just fine to eligius and btc-guild.

Welp, OC'd my 4 module to 375 with my OCZ ZX1250 and got 12% HWs with no increase in hash power. Temps remained the same. Back to 350 and 1.7% hw errors she goes.

doesn't it already has the latest firmware that is good to overclocking?

ok so on the Batch#3 Power connector board: I have 2 x 8 pin -PCI-E Connectors and 1 x 8 pin CPU connector. What about the 12 pin plug that says "EXT P4" ?

Or am I good for now? What about when I pop in another 4th module? I need a 8 pin Power CPU connector, right?

EXT P4 is the power to the fourth module.

On the PDU, There is 1 x ATX Motherboard PS; 2x PCI-E 8 pin power connectors; 2x 8-pin CPU Power connectors; 1 x 12 pin EXT P4 Power connector.

I have 1xATX, 2X PCI-E, 1X 8-pin CPU Power plugged in; Whats not plugged in is 1x 8 pin CPU Power (i assume for 4th module) and 1 x 12 ping EXT P4 Power connector (for 4th module or who knows??)

For a current 3 module setup, I am assuming I am good to go, right??

---update everything seems good to go.
Now to flash the sucker then overclock it.

Getting the cover on and off is a bit tricky. Don't really like the design. Is there a trick?

Just rectangular thick pieces of paper or cardboard. Put them into the holes below the nuts before unscrewing bolts.

Just got mine this morning, up and running! No luck with btcdig.com, now using ozco.in.

I have used a couple of bamboo skewers to help center and position the nut during reassembly. I also think a new kitchen sponge, cut to fit and installed before removing the bolt, would work well.

I recieved 3x 3-module no psu units today!

PS. What plugs from the PSU go into the PDU?

ATX cable, PCIE cable and the EPS12

Apparently I inspired this image.

Running my 4-mod with a Corsair AX1200. Doesn't fit in the case. Sad

Has anyone tried overclocking at the 375 (Absurd) setting? I am stable for 8 hours at 350 with an OCZ zx1250, --avalon-auto and --avalon-fan 100, and a box fan aimed at mine, but I am scared to try 375.

350 Mhz = 930 Watts at the wall for 4 module Avalon.
your only issue should be temperature, your PSU will handle 375 mhz easily

I tried it and the errors went up and the hashing went down slightly. I keep it on auto and it is usually 351-354

I plan on adding one module to my 3 module unit. at 351-354 on auto; how many GH/S do you get with a 3 module unit? What about a 4 module unit? I have a 850w modular and a 750w modular PS. Should I get a bigger PS for a 4 module setup?

What ever happened to that guy who ****magicmike who was pushing 98Gh/s??

Definitely you need a UPS no less than 1kW to keep a 4 module avalon miner running stable.
