So far I'm not very happy. My Falcon is drawing 1120W which is 230% more than it was originally supposed to be (and well beyond what my 850W PSU should be doing), the connectors are wired incorrectly, the fans are backwards (blowing out instead of sucking in), it ran under 25Mh for the first 10-15 min, and the ZenController is terrible.

Wait, the fans are supposed to blow in? Mine sucks the air out.

Fans blow hot air out and cool air get sucks in the air vents in to the box.

I just tested my Black Widow and the air is definitely being sucked through the unit. If I put my hand in the back, the airflow is restricted. To me, airflow sees fine.

So does mine. Is that right?

Hi everyone,

Our manufacturer asked us to inform you that when powering the bigger miners (Black Widow, Falcon, War Machine) with 8 pin PSUs (typically for regular computers) with a 6 +2 pin connectors, to only use the 6-pin connectors. Don't use the extra 2 pins to make it 8 pin.

Using those extra 2 may damage the wires and the wires themselves may need to be replaced so please take caution.

Server PSUs are fine (as long as the top is all positive and bottom all negative)!

If you've had any problems at all with this, please contact us at:

[email protected] or [email protected]

Thank you!

Got my Fury today.

From the time I opened the box to the time I was mining at 1.3MH on ScryptGuild was 4 minutes with the ZenController. Nice!

i'm not sure who wanted to know but I seen someone asking stats for fury, widow, falcon, war machine. At the minute my fury is averaging 1.4mh/s at clevermining I will post my stats up for falcon on Monday and widow the week after

this is beyond pissing me off. I tried using the zencontroller and that isnt working. Just sits on searching for zencontroller on the website. and here is my .bat file

cgminer.exe -o stratum+tcp://power.wemineltc.com:3333 -u user.worker -p x --nocheck-golden --chips-count 64 --ltc-clk 328 -S COM17 (also tried COM4 with and without the slashes)

Add pause to the end of your .bat and let us know what errors you're seeing.

On top of that, what COM port is listed under your Device Manager?

Hey waldohoover post your ltc address id like to donate you something for posting the solution to get mine working

my falcons only mining at 8Mh/s..... hopefully it will go up. and good to know about the pause trick. i was clicking it a thousand times to try and read it quick!

your chip count needs to be 128 you have it at 64 maybe that will fix it?

I was doing the exact same thing trying to get the error message up glad milesbitcoin told me about the pause function

sorry i meant black widow. Im still waiting for my falcon. had names mixed up

WARNING! ONLY PLUG IN A 6 PIN PCIe CONNECTOR! DO NOT PLUG IN ALL 8 PINS!

The connectors on the ASICs are wired incorrectly. The additional 2 pins are supposed to both be ground but they wired one of them to +12V. This creates a short. My PSU detected the short and refused to turn on. Hopefully all PSUs do this. If they don't you will probably melt the connector and possibly start a fire.

THIS IS 100% CORRECT!!!

My Black Widow takes about 5-10 minutes to get to full speed. According to zenminer at least.

CGMiner says something like icarnus failed to open COM(Whatever i put in 4 or 17)
Then says All devices disabled, cannot mine

Seriouesly what is the problem? Ive never had so much trouble with a single miner!!!

editted my post and what do you mean add pause to my .bat??

at the end of your bat file press enter twice then type in pause save it. when you run it you will get to see the error message
