I think this box does better when it's hotter. I'm seeing almost 3.4TH now. Got the replacement HP 1000w PSU and that thing have been quite quiet, knock on wood. Before I try using part HP 1000W and part EVGA. Can anyone confirm if the hash board is split left and right or top 2 port and bottom 2 port?
I just open the box and can see the hasboard are split top and bottom so the top 2 ports are of the same board. I didn't open it all the way as it would ruin the warranty sticker. I don't recommend anyone using different PSU as the Voltage is different and may cause issue. I saw my machine show up as 13V and it wouldn't hash after 5 mins so I just change it back to the way it was before to avoid issues.
Also noticed that it reported the temperature all weird as the ASIC normally runs above 70C with the mix PSU configuration, it would show everything in the 40s which is not correct.
P.S Too lazy to black out my username, does it really matter? What's the worst thing that can happen? Also I read that the new firmware fix the issue with max Voltage being at 12.8, I'm seeing 13 with the mix PSU due to older firmware. Should I upgrade? I also see people reporting 100less G hash rate after upgrading so doesn't seem like a good deal
Upgrade I don't unless there is a big feature or fix they talk about. Some do every single one. I'm on thee motto if it aint broke don't fix it. But just depends on what firmware has.
I think enough people have said it run's better hot... we can get closer to believing it. I might need to try one in a warmer place and see if I can confirm (and it could very with firmware).
I just like blanking them out. There is really no security reason, I just don't advertise pools I'm using as I figure it's another topic. But worst they should be able to do (as long as password is not what you use on site) is mine for you... so you are right not really bad things with it. Someone might be able to send in crap as you.... but I would guess most pools would see what IP's sending crap.
the thing with these avalons you gotta watch for is the fan speed. Its a big indicator if they are actually hashing. if the fan speed is below 1800 or so, they most likely are not doing anything. look for the blinking red light at that point.
the ghs next to the fan speed will show the speed they are capable of, but doesnt mean they are doing anything. you have to look up at the 5s,1m,5m,15m numbers to know if they are actually hashing.
this is made a bit more difficult when you have more miners showing on that page. If you have 6 or 8 or ten miners hooked together, the quickest way to see a problem is in the fan speed first and the voltage second. then look up above to confirm the hash rate is down. a bit of simple math will confirm if you have a miner not working.
mine seem to be very finicky at times. some wont take over 12.2 volts or they shut down and start blinking red (which btw the report voltage usually doesnt match my multimeter) and most wont boot above 12.3/12.4. They seem to want to start reliably if voltage is 12.1/12.2 or lower.
