I replaced the fans the day I got them with these http://www.silverstonetek.com.tw/product.php?pid=136&area=en

4 of them running and almost no sound.

rgdz,
bhai

I just removed the fans completely, no need for them with LTC and I wont be using BTC mode.

Is there any chance the BTC core can be come "active" and start hashing? Lets say some kind of cgminer bug or something? Worried about that at all?

This is, what i got with 20 miners @ 850mhz, Scripta & RaspPi. Not that bad i think.

not bad at all... has that been consistent? My hashrate graphs are like jagged shark teeth, even with the RPi

Sounds right...I've only got 10 and I hit 3.61 which is 1/2 of what you're getting so it seems good.

Here's what my Scripta+RasPi+Andareed's cgminer looked like when I tested it Friday: http://imgur.com/38OUKz5

I've stopped that setup for today as I'm trying to spend some time to isloate why that 1 miner in the dashboard seems to throw way more HW errors than the rest. Maybe a bad cable, port, or something else...

Question for the electricially inclined folks who are following this thread:

I was consdering what to do about the "jet engine" fans on the miners.

I thought perhaps I could clip the "red" wire (not both) on the fan...and in-line one of these male/female connectors: https://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2104016

This way I can easily enable/disable the fan and not have to put connectors on both black & red wires on these...but by simply disconnecting the connector or reconnecting it as needed.

Is this a good idea? Assuming I'm only going to ever scrypt mine...but I think this approach could help me to reconnect the fans quickly should I be inclined to use the SHA256 chips for mining some magic new coin which may pop up and be worth it...very doubtful but...who knows?

Thoughts?

As long as either end of the + doesn't short out on the body of the miner, you should be fine.
I'd do the ground wire (black), myself because it's negative and if it does short to the body, nothing bad should happen. If the fan end of the black wire shorts out on the body, the fan should simply run.
As usual, do this at your own risk!

Thanks for the response Wolfey2014...

I'll try this out on 1 miner using the black wire instead. The connectors are insulated so I don't think it should be an issue of shorting out...that is unless I do a crap job on crimping the wires into the terminals...I'll also put a bit of electrical tape across the open ends of the terminals just in case so it should be fine.

Let's see how this goes...wish me luck!

Anyone know where to source the 12v power plugs from the miner? I would like to buy the plug already connected to the wire (like the ones from jack). I can wire them myself to a molex connector. I can buy the plugs from radio shack, but I would rather already have them connected to the wire. One less thing to have to solder.

I am going to use some old 200 watt PSU's to power the miners and raspberry pi. The old PSU's have molex, not pci-e connectors. The PSU can also supply the 5v for the rasp pi and hubs.

Never mind. I found this post for the cables I need:

hey thanks for the great guide just have a couple of questions
1. why do you need that lightning asic router thingy cant you just use the usb hub alone?
2. where can i get one if i need one?

thanks alot

You need something to run the mining software, the controller or a windows/linux/pi box. Not sure who sells the controllers by themselves they come with the 10 packs (LA3M)

I have 4 units on my windows 7 PC running the CPU miner
and I have to say they have not missed a beat
I have 6 more on order that I should get on Monday

I will try the PI later in the week

Finally got cgminer to work. I did the plug unplug thing it didn't work. I moved my usb hub to a 2.0 usb port and it started working. Grin

geesh! come on people! These are basic ' how to' questions already answered right on this very thread!

My response to your questions for help is, "see page 1"
Capiche?

READ! Cheesy

Wolfey2014

the polarity of the socket isn't stated here, just color codes. If you don't have color coded wires (and don't just check it with a meter like I should have to begin with) then it's a legitimate question...there are reverse polarity plugs out there.

It's there now.

thank you sir

heh heh, it worked! Grin

heh, ofcourse, someone just had to be 'right about it'.. Shocked

... as if...

I am right

Just trying to make sure I don't fry a $250 piece of electronics the first night I get it.

Still tryin to be right eh?
