I do suggest getting insurance as the USPS has lost my package!    $1000 out the window! Sad

My package was lost for a few hours also.  It'll turn up, but insurance is definitely a good idea.

Sounds like a cooling issue. You could try to place a strong 120mm fan on the outflow side of the cube to help pull the hot air out.
I have thought about doing that to try and increase airflow.
For the fan that's in there not much comes out the front end.
It's very tight inside the cube. If you can suck the air out as fast as it's going in you might improve it.

This is with the case off!  I'll play with it though.  I'm just happy to be up and running. Grin  It's my first ASIC miner.  Sure beats losing money with Radeons!

If you are so inclined, I would try removing all the boards and add them back one by one to find the offending board.  From my experience, only one board causes the solid 6 rows of x's... so just need to identify it.

To do this, I powered off and on in between adding boards (did not try to hot swap), and I did this while the cube was disassembled using a external fan to keep things cool.  Some fan needs to be attached the the backplane for the Cube to start up.


Thanks for the suggestion!  I isolated the problem board - it's the one that had completely loosened.  It only had 3 screws holding on the heatsink because one of the holes is completely stripped out.  I cleaned off the TIM sheet and sink, and forced a fan screw in the hole to hold it on, and it seems to be working.  But when I set the clock speed to high, I slowly lose hashrate until all x's appear again.  What can we do about that SSB?

So I'm mining at ~32 Gh/s on low clock speed with an efficiency of ~96%.  Is this normal?  Any way to improve this?  Does switching the pool or pool priority affect anything?  Both addresses point to the same pool.  I'm using Eligius.

TIA

Got my cube today.  Thanks!  But several of the screws holding the heatsinks had fallen off and were rattling around inside the case.  I put everything back together, but all my chips are x'd out in the config utlility.  Any ideas?

edit:  Nevermind, seems to be working now.  I tried turning it off and on again. Roll Eyes

edit #2:  Seemed to be hashing for a minute, then stopped and all o's turned to x's again.  Huh

Just passing this along from a cube user.

My Cube runs around 32Gh/s when clock is set to Low, but runs slower on High - about 29Gh/s.  On High there is one board that has an entire half switch over to X's.  I'm not sure if this is what is limiting my hashrate, but it's the only thing I see out of the ordinary.

I've tried several different PSUs, checked the heatsink, etc,.  I swapped the card into another slot and the X's followed, as expected.  I understand these devices aren't always going to be perfect, so it's not that a big of a deal.  I can certainly live with 32Gh/s.  I just didn't think it would hurt to inquire.

I figured out my issue and wanted to pass it along.  I was running my stratum proxy with the "-nm" switch.  That's what was killing my hashrate in High clock mode with the cubes.

-nm, --no-midstate    Don't compute midstate for getwork. This has outstanding performance boost, but some old miners like Diablo don't work without midstate.
