I am suddenly less excited about the arrival of my Cube tomorrow...

Undecided


Plan to spend some time with it.  If yours works out of the box (i.e. no loose screws, good PSU, full speed) then it sounds like you might be one of the lucky few.

I have 2 cubes and can't get 1/2 (15 GHs) of the advertised 30 GHs (for one unit) consistently out of BOTH of them combined.  Yet I have all Os in the web GUI.

None of my 4 cubes had the cards seated properly.  All have lose heatsink screws.  Two heatsink screws were lose in the chassis.

I disassembled and re-assembled the cubes.  

One of the cubes gave out the magic smoke on power up.  There was a pop, sparks, and acidic smell.

Shutdown and checked the boards one by one.  One of the boards has capacitor C110 blew up.  The board has revision 3.1 PCB.

Well, that totally sucks.  

All the usb sticks I got were top notch, had QC.  The cubes, not so good.  

Where can I get replacement boards?  Or just ship me a couple C110 capacitor, I'll fix it myself.

What is the warranty situation on these? I got mine but my ethernet port on the cube stopped working.

Ok so I purchased a Cosair CX750M this morning.  It works with the paper clip trick and seems to be running 2 cubes just fine. However, the power wasn't the issue causing the poor performance.  It is nice to have 2 units on one power supply and not have to run it off a computer though.

My LAN was on the 172.0.16.* subnet and it appears that any stratum proxy hates this (even if the cubes are configured to point at the proper address and do connect - they will under perform).  

After moving to the 192.168.1.* subnet, the units are hashing at a combined 59-64 GH/S (in low mode).

So you must be on a 192.168.*.* at the very least . . .

The IPs should not matter as long as you are using the correct private network addresses and everything is configured correctly.

The 172.0.16.x network is part of the AT&T U-verse network, which is a public network. 

Did you mean to use 172.16.0.x which is for private network use?

Yes, I meant the private address - it was a typo.

The addresses were correct and talking to the proxy but never went above 6GHs.  After the change, it did hit up to the stated 64 GHs. 

I think i spoke to soon because after powering the units off to move them to the permanent location on the shelf and restarting them, I am only getting 8-25 GHs combined.  No X's in the web GUI for either unit though.  Maybe I just have bum units?

Got mine today, Hashing away great! Couple things I noticed when I took the cube apart:

1. All the screws were loose on all the heat sinks.
2. Main board at the bottom was bowed and a few blades were not in there top slots pushing the bottom board down.


I took the whole thing apart and tightened all the screws on the heat sink, I also made sure the bottom board and blades were all in there
proper slots, fitting better and assuring the bottom board was not bowed at all.

I did notice when I over-clock, half of one board x's out and my hash rate drops, could be a weak board or my power supply. On low clock i get a steady 32gh/s which is pretty nice.

Thanks Canary, be sure to let us know when the next order comes through, I will be sure to order some more of these bad dogs!

between a rock and a block!
First of all many props and thanks to Canary!


I'm running 1 cube and 2 blades ( 1 oc to 13 ) off a HX850.
I love these power supply's, got 2 more that have been on 24/7 over 8 months now pulling 750 watts continuous.
And a $350 electric bill to go along with it. Roll Eyes
wow!! your rate must be insanely high to pay that much for less than 750 watts continuous... holy cow!!

-edit  I'm not complaining about my bill then...

What PSU would be good enough to run 2 units via the paper clip trick (i.e. no need to use a computer to simulate load)?

Thanks

I use the Corsair TX850 to power two.  Works well with paperclip trick.

Thanks for the reply but it appears that unit is no longer available on new egg or directly from Corsair.  So I am still on the look out for a PSU.

If you don't mind me asking, what is your proxy setup?

I received my units today.  One had screws rolling around and the other had screws loose.  Neither had the vertical cards in the slots properly.  Based on other threads, I knew this might be an issue so I took them apart and fixed these issues before even starting.

As far as PSU's, I tried using both an Antec Earth Watts 680 W and an EVGA 600 B with the paper clip trick and they fired up initially but then went off line in about 5-8 seconds.

Apparently these PSUs will turn off if certain loads don't exist.

I tried to hookup a simple case fan to both PSUs via a moldex converter to try and fool the PSU into powering on but no luck.

I hooked the EVGA PSU up to an older computer (that doesn't need the PCI-X power cables).  With the computer powered up, I have been able to get the unit to stay powered up.  No X's show which is good.  However, I am only getting 3-5 GH/s while mining. 

I tested both the mining_proxy_1.2.0 on windows and bfgminer's proxy on linux but the hash rate remains un-changed.

Is anyone else seeing low hash rates like this? Have any idea how to fix them?

What does it mean if the cube keeps restarting itself? I am using a corsair power supply which I previously used to power 4 of the old generation of blades. Followed the guide and all, but it keeps restarting after about 10 minutes running.

are the fans working in the cube.... if they fail it shuts off to save it self....
