I tried two molex cables, and the first got melted. The second one I turned off before it got crazy again.
Any thoughts why molex cables get so hot?

You don't need much horsepower to run a proxy for blades or anything else. I've used a 1ghz netbook to proxy 100+gh without any issue. If your cpu cycles are locking up or the network has issues, then you will see lag, but that means you have other problems anyhow.
I am seeing 0 issues. cpu's and network are essentially nil. switches arent showing any issues.
but as noted the blades change proxy server every single time they want new work.
The blades are notorious for switching proxies for no good reason other than the fact they're on and working. They're finnicky, it's got to do with their network hardware/software. The only time I've seen them stay consistently on a proxy is if they're practically being chilled. My collection has currently been on the same proxy for over a day now, there's been 30*F air blowing across them the whole time. Once I take that away they start hopping.

Gen 2 blade GREEN issues:
I am now more perplexed as to what is the issue with my blades.
I now have 2 blades, both are using power supplies with well more than the 8.3amps on 12v that is needed triple the amount needed in fact.
I pointed 1 to a bfg proxy and 1 to slush's mining proxy program but neither will exceed 7.2gh/s.
If it were network traffic issues adding the 2nd blade in "theory" should have dropped both?!
They are in the same network.
They both insist on changing proxy servers about every 40 work units requested.
You can not put a blank or the same ip for both servers or they will stop requesting work after 40 until they are rebooted.
I put a bfg proxy on a server and pointed them to 2 ip's on the server which works. but they do not exceed 7.2gh/s
I setup another proxy on another server and pointed the other blade at it. still will not exceed 7.2gh/s.
I changed one of the proxys to the slush miner and the other to bfg, still wont exceed 7.2gh/s
Neither are running hot, they have more than enough cooling on them.
in BFGMiner the first column says 10ish/7.2/7.0gh/s
What does the first column mean?

1) I stopped using a laptop for stratum-mining-proxy that was also running cgminer for a Jalapeno and possibly overworking it.
2) I took my RPi, running stratum-mining-proxy, and changed it from wifi to RJ45; it had been servicing 6 USB BEs, and addressed the Blade to the RPi. I had put the 6 BEs to the stratum on the RPi originally as addressing the cgminer running the BEs on another RPi directly to stratum.mining.eligius.st was getting difficulties in the /127. For some reason that is no long the case and the BEs are getting diffs of 15/1 or 163/1 and the like, much better. On the overloaded laptop stratum was showing for instance 1002milliseconds on accepted's for the Blade, way to slow moving the data, while the Blade is now showing [0ms] and:

So you r using the rpi's for your blade proxy's now?
I am using 2 beefy servers for my proxy servers. Their activity is essentially nil, network utilization is .7%. Teamed nics etc etc.
Both blades have creeped up to 7400 and 7300 the last 5 days from 7100ish.
I could try using an RPI. both blades to 1 PI?
I need to resolder dead fuse on blade V2 (green PCB). But I could not find any specification for this fuse. Do you know somebody? Where to buy it?
Please help.
Please help.
Bought a few as replacement for the blue blades from a local electronics store for a few cent each! They were 10A ones.
IMHO it would be easier to solder two wires to the blade and connect them to a socket used for car fuses (the ones the gen 1 blades use)

Not an expert but try Radioshack.

Congrats, and happy mining.
Now happily mining, thanks a lot to all the people that makes it possible!
:-)
I need help with the setup of one blade, please.
The user and the password are in the following form:
user:password,user:password
The setup for the stratum proxy that I have is:
mining_proxy.exe -o eu-stratum.btcguild.com -p 3333
Help, help, help, please!

Going off the top of my head: Make sure your user/pass are the ones you setup for btcguild. Make sure the proxy is running on the system you have marked as the SERVER on the settings page. Make sure the system running the proxy isn't blocking port 8332. Aside from that, it looks like it should work.
If you'd like to see better stats on your miner, read back a few pages and look into using bfgminer as a proxy.
Have you entered your password twice as well?

I have used the HP 1000w PSU's with out incident or failure for months.
Make that 8 blades * 120 watts (at peak) = 960 watts.... woopsie. Either way, still looks like it's unwise to populate that back plane past 8 Gen2 boards on that recomended HP rack-mount PSU. Any thoughts?

Oops, sorry, didn't see your post.
Yes, I don't dare go past 8 blades with the HP server PSU although I don't think gen 2 blades use more than 80 watts since they aren't overclocked. But I'm not certain of that.
My gen 2 blades pull about 6.3-6.8 Ampere each, which is 75 watts - 82 watts.
10 gen 2 blades should use roughly estimated 800-850 watts, if they overload the PSU it would get warm and shut off by itself like PSUs for desktop computers do!

these are located in a server room with all high end equipment. I can't fathom stuff that can handle mega traffic would trip up on this stuff... but its gotta be something...
I have both going to the same worker, maybe slush's auto diff thing is setting the diff too high...
I am gunna try changing to 2 workers

I point 6 Blades to my desktop running the mining proxy. Actual difficulty set by the proxy is 32 from what i can see rushing through, and all 6 running at 10.3GH - 10.8GH average!
Is it worth buying blades right now at .5btc?
Thanks
Thanks
it may be. depends what you are looking for. My 2 gen2 blades run at 23gh/s and with the current difficulty I dont get much btc at all.
Wow, nearly 1k posts!
