Topic: [Guide] Dogie's Comprehensive ASICMiner Cube Setup [HD] - page 75. (Read 187363 times)

I've opened this cube up again twice and removed and re seated the modules and am now back to square one. Thought I was making progress and now I'm right back to where I started

ASIC_01-16: O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O
ASIC_17-32: O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O
ASIC_33-48: O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O
ASIC_49-64: x x x x x x x x O O O O O O O O
ASIC_65-80: O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O
ASIC_81-96: O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O

MHS:29513 Efficieny:098.55% on the Low clock setting

The screws on the heatsinks are as tight as can be, could I possibly have a duff cube?? Would re-arranging the modules make a difference??

I'm not sure where you are located, but Amazon in the US has a Thermaltake 850W with a 70A 12v rail for only $124.99:

Hi, new guy here!

I got my cube on Monday and the setup was a breeze thanks to this awesome guide    First thing I did was to open the case and checked each board heatsink, and as you guys said, some of them needed to be tightened.

After everything was ready I connected the Cube to the modular Seasonic X650(http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151088) I got specifically for it, only to hear an immediate click after turning it on. FAIL#1 

Luckily there was a Corsair TX 750 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139021 in my gaming pc.
Removed it from my pc case, connected to the cube, and it worked! The seasonic works great on my PC and I see the consumption is about 10% less.

Kept the default pool and entered all my info. It was hashing at 36GH/s with 90% efficiency, and was consumming 355 Watts (80 Plus Bronze crap efficiency).

FAIL#2   
I left it on overnight, and when I checked it in the morning it was off    Kill-A-Watt, said it was on for 9 hours.
When I turned it on again, it shut itself off after a minute. I kept trying and now it just turns on for a few seconds, or doesn't turn on at all.
Also tried with the other 2 PCIe cables, and also had 2x (2 molex to 1 PCIe) adapters, with the same results.
If I disconnect the Cube, the PSU starts, so maybe the cube did something to the 12v rails or related capacitors.

I also tried each of the boards separately, and even without any, but the PSU didn't kicked in, so maybe it did killed it.


Right now, I'm stucked waiting for a Corsair RM 750 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139055&Tpk=corsair%20rm%20750. I will probably get it delivered to my country in 10 days, I don't know if I should buy a Thermaltake, because it might or might not last the 10 days... if it even turns on (and the store that sells it sucks with returns)

If the new PSU also fails, I will try adapting capacitors to the cables. Hopefully it doesn't require any soldering.

Very clever failover strategy, thanks!

If you try and change the LAN IP to 192.168.1.x you'll get an error message along the lines of "LAN IP address and Guest LAN IP Address can't be the same", so you gotta change it to 192.168.0.16 - you will then be prompted with a page which will say that your superhub 2 is rebooting to implement this change.

Now login to your router again, advance settings/dhcp settings and change the LAN IP to 192.168.1.x and once again your router will reboot to implement the change.

Now open a browser and navigate to 192.168.1.254:8000 and you'll be able to login to your Cubes configuration page.

Dude, try what I recommended, I know it might sound silly but I have a Super Hub 2 aswell and it took me a while to figure out how to even see the cubes on my network, you basically ain't seeing them as they ain't on the same subnet!

I don't think that will help.  Their IP will reset to 192.168.1.254:8000 but that is likely already what their IP is at... you just can't see them because you are not on 192.168.1.x with your router.

Have you tried this?  Sounds like it should make it work.

Can anyone give me a hand on skype, my skype is elmbrent118. Please been on support with indians for 5 hours still nothing.

Well I cant evan see the cubes on the network now? Virgin Media gave me a free fucking upgrade and broke both my cubes during the process... well fuck.

I tried just buying another router to plug in and still cant see the miners in the config.

Does anyone know how to factory reset the cubes? I pressed the button but it doesn't indicated its been reset.

You gotta login to the router, click advance settings, then DHCP settings, change the LAN IP to 192.168.1.16 as VM reserve the IP's upto .15 for guest networks.

The router will now reboot, login to the router again and change the LAN IP to 192.168.1.1 and take it from there!

I'm guessing you would need to do something similar to what I had to do in configuring the router manually as 192.168.1.1

From a quick Google search it appears the IP for the Virgin Hub is 192.168.0.x or 192.168.100.x which will need to be changed to 192.168.1.x

Check your subnet is the same as the cubes.

Guys virgin media install the new hub 2, and i could see the miners on my network but not visit them via the browser.

I tried factory reset now i cant see them even on the network? Is the a way your ment to factory reset the cubes or do you just hold down the button?

Also anyone got any ideas how to get these working on the virgin media hub 2?

Been mining against bitparking and bitminter (balanced through MinePeon) for about a week and it seems that bitparking pays out just a tad higher on BTC than bitminter does.  Maybe 1.25:1 or so.  It might take a while to find a block, but the payouts seem pretty good, if not exactly often.  Bitparking seems to pay out NMC in almost a 2:1 ratio using PPS. This was completely informal testing on my part and YMMV greatly.  I would recommend testing yourself.

I would point out that bitminter also supports GBT as addzz pointed out, so it makes a great failover option on the cubes.

Was going to try and get it set up on p2pool but I don't think that is going to happen, so I will try out BTC Guild tonight since I already have an account there and it does Namecoin as well.  Maybe I will try out Bitparking, too, but their hashrate and luck doesn't seem very appealing to me...

I'm currently running 2 cubes on high from a single CX750.  No problems over the last 24 hours.  Did order a pair of 2000rpm / 103 CFM fans to replace the stock.

Right I unscrewed the device, pulled all the cards out, screwed a few of the loose heatsink screws in tighter and put the unit back together.

Now I can get the cube to hash at 31693MHS with an efficiency of 96.58% in low clock speed, if I switch the clock to high both the hash rate and efficiency start dropping, I also noticed one X today which wasn't there yesterday after I put the device back together:

ASIC_01-16: O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O
ASIC_17-32: O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O
ASIC_33-48: O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O
ASIC_49-64: O O O O O O x O O O O O O O O O
ASIC_65-80: O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O
ASIC_81-96: O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O

Can anyone shed any light on why my hash rate and efficiency might be dropping when I try to run the device in an overclocked state?

mine at eligius, you can get namecoins while you mine btc, if you set that up in their control panel

Anyone know a way to merge mine with the Cube? 

I'm running my stratum proxy on a machine that occasionally (like once every few weeks) locks up and restarts.

I am using bitminter to mine right now and would like to use their GETWORK option as a backup... would this be possible? Their address is: http://mint.bitminter.com:8332 (GBT or getwork)

I tried this to only test out the connection-


EDIT:
Nevermind... it worked.  Just took a few minutes to start up.

I'm going to set my pools like this:
StratumProxy,Direct... so that if my proxy fails, it will go directly to their getwork server.
