Topic: [Guide] Dogie's Comprehensive ASICMiner Cube Setup [HD] - page 73. (Read 187363 times)

My power supply is a Corsair CX800
I am connecting the blade and the cube via slush's proxy (since I can't seem to get the BFGminer proxy to work right)
I have tried both slush's pool and BTCGuild (i prefer BTCGuild)
They blade and cube are properly cooled in a server room with dedicated AC kept at 60 degrees F and fans blowing directly on them
They are connected directly to a dedicated DSL line (not the best, but I chose to do it this way because it bypasses my company firewall)

I haven't actually sat to observe the status LED, but I just went down now to check it out and I just see it blinking repeatedly.

They will hash fine for about 10 minutes and then they just suddenly stop receiving work. When this happens, I see on the mining proxy that it stops showing the messages where it shows the username for the blade and the username for the cube doing work, and it only shows messages like "new job xxxxxx" which seems to me like the proxy is still requesting jobs from the pool, but it's just not passing it to the ASICs for some reason.

On the web config, I notice that the running time for both the blade and the cube are always the same, meaning that they are restarting themselves at the exact same time.

My blade is the new blade model. My cube is from CanaryInTheMine's most recent batch.

I hope this is enough information

I've only had Cubes running overclocked for two or three weeks, but no issues past a single X'd card - just haven't had time to fix it. About half my cards have actually been jacked to a higher-than-factory overclock just because.

I have a Blade that's been in continual operation at 20% faster than these Cubes' overclock frequency, for two months without a single issue. The way I figure, as long as you keep them cool enough, they should last their expected (profitable) lifetime.

Also, effin' YES on the DDWRT. My last two wireless routers were both flashed to said firmware, and I have another running around which needs to be given "the treatment".

I am using BFGminer on RPi as proxy server.  Running Corsair 750M power supply.  Pool with Bitminter.

Can't figure out why the long poll shows inactive, when BFGminer setting is long poll = active.

Any ideas?

Your blade and stratum proxy aren't playing nice, hence 'long poll inactive'.

Hi all !!
I've 2 cubes and i don't understand i put only one cube on my CORSAIR AX860 watts, but the second green led switch on and just after my power supply switch off.

This is my power supply : http://www.corsair.com/en/power-supply-units/ax-series-power-supply-units/ax860-atx-power-supply-860-watt-80-plus-platinum-certified-fully-modular-psu.html?___store=en&___from_store=fr


Have you got an idea plz ??

Yours.

Hypolite.

hello guys, I tried to go to the configuration page of the cube with the address (http :/ / 192.168.1.254:8000) I just always error and will not let me access the page
I connected the cube to the PC with USB port and is read by the PC
help me please let ...

Does it matter where exactly put them, which slots? One or two per connector?

One thing I have noticed is I keep blowing the cube fuses after 24 hours running on high.

Awesome!  Glad you was able to get them working so easily.  I think I might move mine to the garage as well during the winter.  It's basically an icebox right now in there.

Basically, just find a relatively large (at least 1000uF, at least 16V) capacitor or two, and wedge them into the PCIe connectors. Marked lead is the negative, so black wire side; unmarked lead (which should be a bit longer) is positive so yellow wire side. These will charge up to 12V during the time the Cube is initializing, then when the relay clicks over they'll discharge into the Cube to help provide immediate current in assistance to the output capacitors already built into the power supply.
I got two Cubes a while ago, one off a 460W ATX supply with a stupidly strong 12V rail, and the other off a 500W server supply. The ATX would light things up just fine, but the server supply either had too small capacitance, or too much inbetween its caps and the outputs because it dropped out. One 1000uF 16V cap in each 6-pin connector did the trick just fine, and others have reported similar results.

Did you capacitor trick? Depending on the 12V rail, a 400W *might* be able to run it in steady-state, but turning off after a few seconds usually means when the relay clicks over and provides power to the dozen internal VRMs it drains the power supply's output caps faster than the supply can compensate and drops out due to overcurrent/undervolt detection.

Quick question, and I think the answer will be "yes, but don't run both in high clock". Because I suck with hardware knowledge, makes sense to ask here before I buy or fry, I mean try, anything new 

I have this PSU hooked up to one Asicminer Cube using both PCIE outputs:

If I get 2 of these can I pull off a second Cube off the same PSU?

I think I read someone saying they were powering 2 cubes off the same PSU, but when I noticed it only has 2 PCIE out I wasn't sure how they did it. From what I know, using other connectors (e.g., Molex) the wires will get too hot. Anyways, it looks like this might be the way to go, I'm just not certain. Interested in a second cube, but completely uninterested in buying another PSU, in fact that would be a deal-breaker. 

I know someone here can just glance at this and drop quick knowledge, any help would be greatly appreciated!

I've also replaced the snow-blower stock fan with a SilentTyphoon 1500rpm unit, which is MUCH quieter and moves more air.

Also noticed the cube works better on Slush's proxy than off BFG' one which is opposite to the V1 Blades I have.
