it appears they should be shipped from hong kong as a diy kit instead of assembled.

Hahaha, that's a good one !

Just curious are you still taking orders for these? If so are they pre-ordered or readily available? I see it says "SOLD OUT" so does that mean you're discontinuing? Thanks in advance!

Curmudgeonly hardware guy
I had a Cube that arrived with a single X'd chip, but ran for two weeks fine. Last night it decided to start with all X until the one card with the one bad chip was removed; running on 5 cards all Os. Haven't tracked down the issue yet.
If it's starting with all X and power-cycling isn't resetting it, I'd say pull one card at a time and check status on the rest. You might be able to get it running in lower capacity until a fix/replacement is found.

Also, to the guy whose cards were showing up with sporadic chips X'd, it could be a voltage regulation issue. Check your input voltage at the connectors; you may need a stronger power supply and some of your cards are starved for power. Or it could just be bad connection of the cards to the mainboard, pull and reseat might help.

Received 6 cubes today.   Cheesy

I haven't tested them all yet but 2 of the 4 I've testing are having issues.

1 cubes will show about 1/2 of a blade with oooxxxxooox on it.  When I restart, sometimes the whole cube shows xxxxx, other times, another blade will show xxxoooxxoxox and the original one with oooxxxxooox will show all good.  I've used the same powersupply with another cube and I've tried re-setting the PIC/E connectors but the same thing happens.   Huh

1 cube will turn on but there will be no red status/activity light on.  The relays will click on, and there will be 2 green leds, but you cannot connect to it.  I've tried switching powersupplys and reseating the PIC/E connects but nothing happens.  Here is the kicker: when I opened the box, there was a small computer screw rattling around inside the cube.  Not good.   Shocked

Any ideas on troubleshooting?

I had a loose screw in my unit this time around. It was one of the 4 screws holding the heatsink to one of the blades. My guess is that one of those is missing in your unit right now. One thing I also noticed is that the blades slipped out of their rails during shipment from HongKong. This was leading to some pressure on the main board.

I highly suggest you all open your units upon receipt and confirm that the blades are seated properly in the upper rails so they are not causing undue pressure on the mainboard. Also, make sure none of the heatsink screws came out during shipment. When you are putting the cube back together, be careful to make sure the led status light is guided into the small hole on your case or it could bend backwards and possibly break off.

I checked all of the cubes and 2 of the 6 are having issues.  When I took them apart, the blades had slipped outside of the grove on top of the box.  The bottom board was flexed quite a bit.  I checked all of the pins and re-set all of the blades.  When I tested again, there was no change.

1 cube gives me:

The other cube won't even let me connect.  Nor does it show the red led for activity.

CHanges in powersupply and cables did not change anything.

**EDIT**


I do hear the relays click on with each cube.

One of my cubes from Canary has this exact problem.  Boards popped out of top rails and backplane was flexed when I received it with dreaded solid rows of x's.  Hopefully there is an easy fix for this problem, as when working they are really sweet!



I was able to "fix" this problem by taking the cube apart - really easy, just 8 screws - and swapping 2 of the 6 blades with a different cube.  I'm not sure what that did, but the cube is working fine.  I also had the same issue with another cube and I just re-seated the blades in the board.  That appeared to work.  I'll post back tomorrow after the cubes have been running for a bit and update on the 'fixes'.

does the cube works with bfgminer like the blade?

and when will you have more in stock?

Yes, but I recommend using slush's mining proxy. I've had issues with blades and the bfgminer proxy in the past.

Not sure on the second question, still waiting on word that my last order has been shipped.

The slush's mining proxy is enabling the new "Long Poll" function of the Cube's Miner too.

CrazyGuy,

I received the package ! Thank you !

Good job on the packing !

... i did not had any "blades out of the upper rails" issues with the first shipment. On the today's unit the middle blades were out of the rails. I pulled out the entire assembly, pressed back the blades into the MB connectors and slide back in to the enclosure.

Yes, it is important to pay attention on the status LED when you putting back the cover!  Thank you for that advice too ...

I look forward for the next batch ...
