I have 4 running from Pi 4 4gb.  they are all doing 800mhz  over 1TH each.

Nice I sent one back to 419mining that was flaky.

I use server ps with breakout board.

I would love 1 th/s but even at what seems stable - around 630 will eventually retume to lower until it gets to 550

I am about 180 gh for the 3 sticks and 1000gh for the r606

It just runs and runs.  I have a quality plat psu that feeds  the pc the usb hub and the r606.

Maybe a titanium evga.  I will check later.

Not sure if it's a bug but happens on windows. Like it retunes after being at ATH hash for a period of time. I don't even notice it anymore unless by happenstance.

I would see that, or something similar, on my Windoze PC and my Pi 3.  But on my Laptop running Linux and on my Pi 4 it runs stable.

yes - essentially cgminer is restarting - kind of like hitting reboot on a S9, I would think.

- miner would keep restarting about 5 minutes after reaching 700 mhz but was not changing the target frequency, it was staying at 700 mhz
- after 4 restarts, I decided to move to next setting

What do you mean by "restarting"?

Do you mean the frequency drops and works its way back up to the target frequency?

maybe it is the app but a normal conversation is rated to be at 60 dB and I can tell you my ASICs are way over normal conversation level - they are loud enough that I wear ear plugs if I am staying in the building long enough.

according to the CDC a whisper is 30 dB - https://www.cdc.gov/nceh/hearing_loss/what_noises_cause_hearing_loss.html

I will also say that the Apollo miner is louder than the R606 - and is actually nearly as loud as a S9 when its on turbo.

I will look into getting an actual dB meter for future reviews and will update the ones I have done as well once I get one.

I'm thinking it's possibly your app.  60db on up is getting into the normal Asic miner sound levels.  A Bitmain Z9 mini for example is 65db.  There are plenty of youtube videos demoing the sound level of the Z9 mini and these R606's are no way close to that.

Does your app have the ability to reset to 0 with ambient and then where you turn on miner and get reading? If I set my phone on my desk at work, it reads anywhere from 45 to 62 dB - at home, where it is a bit more quiet, it reads between 25-30 dB with the miners off (I have 2 on my desk)

I thought about rear fans but I do not really see the need, my R606 feels like an ice cube to the touch.

I would not be able to sleep with this in the room - the noise while very low is still discernible to me and with the flashing light as well, it would drive me crazy if I was trying to sleep.

Using a phone app as well but android related.  I've placed it at the rear of the unit where my exit fans are (I added these --screen shot https://ibb.co/tq4tXLS)  I also placed the fan on top of the unit, on the PSU, in front etc.  They are very quiet.  The rear fans I am using are these:  https://www.amazon.com/AC-Infinity-MULTIFAN-Receiver-Playstation/dp/B00IJ2J2K0

My home office is also our master bedroom and me and the Mrs sleeps well.  Not loud at all.

When I check the sound levels on my 2 R606's along with 2 usb fans attached to them, 2 additional usb fans over my  4newpacs that sits beside them, the tiny fans attached to 2 futurebit moon landers,  and a 1930's F. A. Smith Artic Aire Table Fan sitting directly by it as well on high, my readings are 30 db.  If I turn my 1930's fan off the readings drop to 22 db.   What else do you have running in the room you have these miners at?   Mine are setup in my home office and are quiet as a mouse.

What's sad,  I have another Raspberry Pi 4 that I typically use as a desktop replacement (try to limit my gaming rig to just that, gaming instead of day to day tasks) so that I conserve a bit more energy, with the fan on high on my Pi 4, that's louder than my mining setup  Grin

do your readings negate the ambient noise? and how close is your device doing the reading? I am laying mine essentially right against the miner but I also have ambient noise - it reads at almost 25 dB if the miner is off.
It also could just be that the app I am using (its on my iPhone) is a POS that returns erroneous readings.

Yea, my GPUs are way louder than the r606 at my workstation.

I think the hard part is that I am not in a sound proof room with only the miner - so the readings have to be understood that ambient noise is also present. but that is also why I try and stick the mic right on the exit point.

What horrible thing happened that you saw 81dB? Around here they're so quiet I have to stick my hand in front of 'em to make sure the fan's still spinning.

lol, note that is the loudest reading, and the meter is sitting right on the exhaust exit. It might be ambient noise too - I should take another reading with the Apollo off - here I will do so now - so look for an edit on this post in a moment.


this is probably a much more accurate reading with the Apollo off

Your results for Voltage settings 4 and 5 look good.  Curious how you did on Voltage level 6?

Will be doing setting 6 and 7 tonight

update: my results for settings 6 and 7 posted above.

due to the restarts at 700 mhz I set Target frequency to 690 and on setting 7 - will see if that will be stable.
