Each of the four dies is a quadrant. The regulator is what feeds low voltage power to the chip. Quadrant 3 would be the one diagonally across from the side with the USB header.
Sounds like your board has a fault on it.

Hello,
I have problem after playing around with one of cards:

After that it goes in loop and trying to start.

What is Quadrant and regulator?

Nope ... red wire on the USB header is correct.  Me thinks I need to try my USB3 hub plugged into my USB3 port on me's 'puter ....

Maybe you have the board to usb connector on backwards? Red wire goes towards the black ribbon cable connector.

I just had a thought .... are the Sierra units U*SB 2 or USB3?  I have them plugged into a USB2 hub right now.  If they're USB3 that's no bueno ...

I just acquired a couple of Sierra units that are Rev 2.3 boards and am having a problem getting my Ubuntu Linux to see them when I plug their USB cables into my Linux box.  With Habanero boards I can see the boards get recognized in dmesg but nothing happens with the Sierra boards.  Has anyone else experienced this and if so what was yrou solution?  Also, when I run sudo ./cgminer -n the three boards in the Sierra are not recognized by cgminer (of course the habaneros are).  On a related not I'm using the latest git pull of cgminer.  Also, jut to be thorough I pressed the on-board power button to make sure the boards had power and the fans on the coolers were spinning (holy crap these things are loud).

So does anyone have the v0.8.0 yoli board firmware and or bootloader update?? I cant update the firmware without updating the bootloader but i cant use the hashfast app with linux to install it even after fixing the issues with pyusb and python.....i have spent days trying to build everything and im getting annoyed at the fact that their instructions leave so much information out and that they could have easily posted the hex files already made for the update alongside the non compiled files but they didnt....it makes no damn sense to me!

the guy i purchased my boards from said he thinks hf posted a firmware update for the boards but has since removed it and i cant find it anywhere....does ne one happen to have the update still?? can u send it my way in a pm??

also to people running their cards outside of the cases....are you looking to sell your hf case?? if so i might be interested in purchasing one or 2 if the price is right. i might even want some of those wooden ones or the plans to make them so i can do it myself if its too pricey to have them pre made. pm me if interested.

That is a little surprising.   wonder why it would happen so quickly.  Wrong coolant?    Fearful of what all those crappy running cointerras look like inside as I have zero desire to tear each underperformer apart.

I just replace an H80i on a Habanero that was thermally tripping tonight, and when I opened it up I was a little surprised to find the block was all fouled up.

I'm not sure the cause, but given the number of units I've seen fail I wouldn't be surprised if there were a bunch of these that need to be replaced soon.

Thanks alot. Thats was the problem One of the coolers out of the 3 was busted. I was able to determine as one of the pipes were warmer than the others.

I will try to setup the third one sepratly.

additionally its probably not a sierra, but a babyjet.

Looks like your water cooling block is either out of fluid or the pump has failed. I have had a number of them fail. Replacement isn't very difficult but the replacement is probably not worth buying as the Sierra is unlikely to make enough additional to cover the cost.

I would downclock or put the rig in a cooler place - and use a newer version of cgminer.

The Ming Rig is crashing . Using Hashfast SIERA with cgminer 3.12.0. It was working fine and in last 5 days have been having the issue below. As Suggested on the thread I have tried the parameters but with little luck. Any Ideas would be appreciated.

Looking to purchase a Sierra, if anyone has one they want to part with please write..

sweet spot differs from chip to chip. i'm not a chip engineer but i presume you could damage any chip if you pumped too much power through it. but i believe ck said he'd spent a lot of time on the cgminer code for HashFast. so i'd say it'd be some sort of fail safe function. ck would have to comment, i haven't read his code. iirc he mentioned 850 was the limit

what i do know from practical experience is that if you hash with too high of a clock rate, the ASIC chip tends to stop hashing and cgminer will automatically lower the MHz after 60sec of no share received from the device.

Cheers,
QG

oh... my fault...

yes.   the people they owe money to and who HF has been ignoring.   In every country in the world their are laws about ignoring people that you owe money to.   and in most countries in the world there are repercussions against running a company on the funds of others irresponsibly.

You read it wrong. That's someone else demanding HF bankrupts.
