Mine has one x as well, but I can make it go away easily. Whenever I restart in High clock mode, it appears. So the way I avoid it is I make the clock "low" first, restart, and then go back into "High" clock mode. Then I get all 0s for the chips and it hashes perfectly. I am not going to RMA it for such a simple issue. Friedcat said the voltage may need to be adjusted on one of the banks but I'd prefer not to tinker if I don't have to. Good luck.
everbody tells me sth differnt:
Somebody told me:
The x shows a chip isn't getting enough voltage. You'll need to tweak its power lane up slightly. That might fix all your problems.
I don't know what do to. Did I have to fix this via multimeter? Or with a stronger psu? Or did I need to contact friedcat for replace? Is he still active?

this sounds right. i recall the board needed physical voltage adjustment if using an overclock. check the "manual" available online
adjust the little screw on the blue box looking things on the power module while reading the voltage with a multimeter
*Note to self: Buy a multimeter next time he passes a Fry's Electronics*
Can't beat free 2 day shipping (assuming you have amazon prime).
Thanks for the recommendation. Ordered it off Amazon. Cheers !

Maybe try checking the voltage of each power lane with a multimeter and manually adjusting any that are below 1.20v?
I think the included instructions show you how to do this. (adjust the little screw on the blue box looking things on the power module while reading the voltage with a multimeter)

I came across this issue today while restarting one of my blades. Two chips show up marked as "xx" when I had the blade defaulting to high clock mode.
If I have it defaulting to low clock mode, it comes up fine with O's across the board, and then I can toggle it to High clock speed and get it hashing closer to 13GH/s.
Emailed friedcat to report the issue/troubleshooting and we'll see how it gets resolved.
Presently running two blades off a Corsair 1200 (total overkill) on two separate rails, so I definitely know it's not a power problem. Also had the same problem when I had it plugged in to a Corsair 650

I think X means the chip isn't running.Somebody told me:

It could be because the chip is bad or because it's not receiving a high enough voltage to run stable at the selected clock setting.

it appears too when i set the clock to default (low) speed
Going to have to assume you have a bad hashing chip if that's the case
Only thing that makes sense Sounds like a case for a warranty replacement, unfortunately.
it appears too when i set the clock to default (low) speed
any idea of the x in the chip?
Does the x appear when you set your clock to default speed, or does it only appear with the clock on it's High setting ?

hello community;
I bought one block eruptor blade from fiedcat.
The blade shows this in panel:
http://puu.sh/3lJHl.png
Another blade runs with much more GH/s
(I get from a friend): http://puu.sh/3lJIp.png
Now my question what means the "x" in: OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOxOOOOOO
Seems like one of the blades is newer (at the first screenshot below: BE Blade Rev 0.2), but it makes not as much hashes as the older model made.
And why is the hashrate so low? I turned the mode to "overclocked" (high) but it just get his highest rate at 12,5-12,6 GH/s.
Sry. for bad english!
Kind regards

with overclocking, it's really a roll of the dice as to what quality you get.
no overclocking is guaranteed to produce X amount of results, some will preform better then others.
