Nice. Additional HEX16C only use 12V, so you still need load on +5V rail.
Right, thank you for your help, I really appreciate it!

No, i mean add additional load on your +5V PSU rail. The miner still use +12V. You can add HDD or old cdrom drive.
Some people say this do the trick to make the PSU more stable.

Connected an old HDD, it worked, the PSU won't crash when raising the MH/s or voltage. Thank you. Oh, also, another Hex16A2 unit came today, I wonder if adding it to another rail will remove the need for the HDD or if the trick just works with the +5v rail.

Nice, i read about this trick on thread  Grin. Additional HEX16C only use 12V, so you still need load on +5V rail.

If the host is Rpi or TPLINK, then get the power from PSU +5V. Then you can remove the hdd.

Ok, try to give load to +5V rail
So I should try replacing the yellow +12v rail for the +5v rail? Won't that cause a red light on the Hex16A2?

What is your PSU brand & type?
(ATX) C3Tech PUF-4050S, they don't seem to sell this one around anymore though. The manufacturer which used to build it is the same which builds for Corsair, Thermaltake and OCZ. Made mostly out of chinese components, however.

Hello lads, I've got a little issue. I'm trying to run one Hex16A2, I'm using a 500W PSU with 12v 16a for the yellow lines, I've tried switching from the molex lines to CPU lines but the PSU crashes if I set the MH/s above 380 in HexMiner/CGMiner for the 16 avalon gen 2 chips.


The PSU is currently powered by 220V if it matters.

Here's a screenshot of my current HexMiner settings.

Works for me using 3 x Hex16C running at 1300 mh / 1020 mv & getting avg 60gh.

Does Not detect units on startup so unplug & replug, Then works fine.

Big thanks. Hex miner was driving me crazy!

The only thing i find i have to run this cg miner only for my Hex 16 C units & i run the latest cgminer for my BFL unit.

Wonder if someone can help me. After restarting my pc I can't connect to any pool anymore, my mining proxy just times out. I have restarted and disconnected a few times, downloaded latest proxy from slush, what could it be?

Check with the windows version of cgminer here:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.5903836

cgminer for Windows here:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/8082585/cg/cgminer_technobit_win/cgminer.rar

You need Zadig:
http://zadig.akeo.ie/downloads/zadig_2.1.0.exe

just edit config file and run it

tested with HEX16A2/B/A1

I get a message that my HEXMINER proxy is outdated, but I can't find a new proxy on the Technobit site... Does anyone know if there is a new proxy? Today Eligius stopped accepting any hashes from the current proxy, probably part of the hashrate exploit fix.

Here the link : http://mining.bitcoin.cz/media/download/mining_proxy.exe

Zich, you really are my hero.

Any word on a working windows version of cgminer or bfgminer? hexminer refuses to work with more than one HEX16A2. It's really starting to make me angry...

 Grin
Until now there is no working cgminer that can work with HEX board under windows.
If you insist on windows, you can use virtual pc with ubuntu then compile cgminer.

But more efficient to use TPLINK TL-MR3020 as host  Cheesy

I think I will try that out... I"m ready to smash things - I never could get the cgminer patch to work on ubuntu, either... very strange.

Yup, that's strange. Maybe you forget some command before executing.
Here some example https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.5849547
If you follow line by line, i assure you it's will work  Wink

Great review, and thanks for the overclocking results! Just picked up a few of these, and I'm running them on windows now, but I'm really interested in their apparent ability to run on a router with ddwrt. Should be an interesting project!
