Topic: [Guide] Dogie's Comprehensive ASICMiner Cube Setup [HD] - page 58. (Read 187371 times)

Hi, I'm new & got one Cube.

I have a Corsair RM850 PSU... The PSU is starting & working but I have an issue : If I set the same IP for the proxy it works for a few times & stuck and keep restarting after 2 minutes. I figured it out, so I have launched 2 separated proxy but I have a lot of rejected packets. Do you know why

I have also checked the screws of heat sinks of all the blades... All are OK !

It seems that if I switch Clock from Low to High, it reboot the Cube with X X X X X X in all ASIC chips... The temperature is OK by the way... Do you know why ?

Thank you !

Anyone hook a voltameter up to their cube yet to see how much the PSU is drawing from the wall?

For some reason, I suspect the 200-230W rating from ASIC Miner is bullshit.  I'm probably wrong though, just not sure why so many PSUs are having issues with the Cube.

Just wanted to share my experience with fan replacements.  I put some Cougar Vortex HDB fans (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835553005) in my cubes, and they sure do run nice and silent but at the expense of pushing a lot less air than the stock fans. The cubes do run on high with these fans (I ran them for over a day like that) but it gets way too hot for my liking.  I touched a thermometer to one of the heatsinks and it read over 90°C (ambient is ~21°C).  So I put the original fans back in and they're running much cooler now.


My router reports that they are 10mbps half duplex, if that matters to anyone.  I have two cubes running on a proxy on an Ubuntu machine, and system monitor shows that the bandwidth doesn't usually goes above 40 kB/s (320 kbps).


I think that a possible way to mitigate this if you have an old router laying around is to put your cubes on their own subnet.  Plug the cubes into the LAN ports of your old router, and use the WAN port of the old router to connect to your existing network. You have to configure the router so its LAN is actually a different IP subnet - for example if your existing network is 192.168.1.X, then the cube subnet has to be something else, like 192.168.2.X.

And for good measure, here are my PSU datapoints:
Rosewill Xtreme RX750-S-B 750W: fail - overcurrent protection kicks in after a minute or so with a single cube on low
EVGA NEX750G Gold 750W: success - runs two cubes on high, though the fan is on max
EVGA 600B 600W: success - runs a single cube on high, nice and silent, but the PCIe power cables get hot

Perhaps dogie would be interested in keeping a table in the OP about which PSUs have been reported working / not working, and how many cubes the PSU can power?

It's true

Hi again guys!

I posted more than a week ago that my cube worked for almost 9 hours "High" on a corsair TX750 V1, and then found it dead on the morning with the "clicking sound" and immediate shutdown when I tried to  turn it on.
Glad to tell you that I finally received the replacement Corsair RM750, and it turned on normally, and all the chips are "o". Will be hashing on low for stability for the time being and let you know if anything goes wrong.

Also I just read a few posts back someone said that the board is faulty if you remove all the boards and it still doesn't turn on, but I can say this is false because before I bought new the PSU I tested that, and I still got the immediate "clicking sound".

So if you are having problems change your PSU. And if you just received your cube, make sure to open it and check all the screws on the heatsinks.

I tested:

Working:
Corsair RM750

Failed:
Seasonic X650 - Immediate clicking sound
Corsair TX750 V1 - failed after 9 hours, then immediate clicking sound

Well I'm finding that the cubes are finicky with power supplies and I know for a fact that they're finicky if you have android phones or tablets ect on the same network. Be sure not to overlook that when troubleshooting.

They should say 30 on them.  They are 12V 30A fuses.  Contact your supplier about a controller board... they should have extras or will be able to swap one out for you and then get a replacement from friedcat.

Thanks for the info. The fuses all say 30 on them. I only have an issue with one cube. Has anyone been able to get a replacement controller board? The way this thing looks I'll probably need one

The other cubes that I have are humming along fine (low setting)
may have to reinvest in some of those 850 corsairs to run at high though

 

thanks.

Heatsinks are screwed tight, None of my blades were in the grooves of the case, two weren't seated properly. I think it might be the PSU - it's a 550w corsair, i just pulled one of the pci-e plugs that has  a removable extra two prongs and used a p6(?) > pci-e adapter. Now have five out of six blades working, none of them running all chips or at full speed. Still only running 5ghs. I'm going to try with two psu's - unless of course someone tells me that is a bad idea...

Changed the psu and now everything is working well! Thank you!!!
