Topic: [Setup & Troubleshoot] Bitmain AntMiner S1 180GH/S miner - page 110. (Read 452366 times)

I have one unit I thought the fan was bad on as well. I'm not sure if the damage is in the fan itself or the board, but for whatever reason the PWM doesn't seem to work. Taking a small flat head screwdriver and pushing down the locking pin on the blue wire of the fan connector allows you to pull it out, which will cause the fan to run at full speed. That solved my issue.

Yes i am

My miners running too hot for my liking at 48-50 and wondering if a PWM fan as exhaust on the other end of the heatsink would help? Not sure if the connector on the other blade will control a PWM fan?

Anybody know how to force the fans already on these S1 to run at full speed? Not concerned about the noise and even at full speed suspect the fans will outlive the rest of the hardware.

FAN HELP...thanks

I am having issues on 3 of 6 ANTMINERS received in this last order with what seems like bad/dead fans....

so on one unit the Antminer was running perfect, other than this unit had a particularly louder than usual fan for one of these rigs, the it stop running and of course the unit stopped mining and started beeping (awesome safety feature). So I thought bad fan, wrong, run good when testing it on the 2nd FAN PWN connection on a running unit...
so then I though bad power supply, wrong....

test a known good antminer, and it power up and mined perfectly....
then I started test the unit and found out by accident that just as I disconnected the fan it moved...I saw that and started messing with the plug and got the fan to work....Somehow if I shove the fan connect all the way down it won't work....I thought it was a bad/bent pin, wrong, then I thought a bad pin in the fan connector, wrong again...If I dangle the fan connector just right, it will run and the rig will mine, but if falls or is not a good connection or I shove it all the way down, no fan = no mining

same for the next 2 units. EXCEPT 1 unit did run with the fan connector all the way down and I could see the FAN RPM's in the web browser, but now I cannot. While it did run, unit 1 did have a weird burning smell....so I am concluding that these are not the same fans that came in earlier batches....and that maybe the speed sensor/control on the fan has burned out...and that was the burning smell....
and the fan works when I dangle/connect it just slightly to give power but not to the sensor???

thoughts, suggestions fixes ideas are welcome. I am ordering some new fans which are not as easy to find as some say, I did order one before and it was the right dimension, slightly wrong connector and pinned out wrong ( i had to swap the pins around in the fan). 

thanks,
sbfree

ps. these 3 units are currently running, but I can't see fan RPM's nor can I shove the connectors all the way down or fan stops as soon as  I try to do that.

Ken, are you talking about the cube marked R47?

Hi
I had may latest one arrive with one bank not working the same as you i.e. not getting hot. It turned out to be the large cube/coil was not centred properly and had popped its solder joint. I unsoldered it and repositioned and re-soldered and it has been fine since.
Hope this helps

Ken

Absolutely. You'll save a few watts by running both on one PSU. Looks better, too.

Prelude,

Thanks for the info I have a second AX860 but figured why run 2 if they will both run on one.

I've got 2 running on an AX860i overclocked to 400MHz each. No issues at all, the power supply is good for it.

Hardwired.

Has anyone tried to run 2 Antminers off of a single Corsair AX860?

The time I was down to now might be why I'm not getting as much this block, but if I'm not getting more than this currently, I'm going to 2nd guess what's going on.

Your pool bases the hashrate on your shares...not what your miner is doing.

So you need to gather shares for long enough to give it some useful data.

Guess I'm wondering why it would need to wait an hr when it says it's hashing at the rate suggested rate. Is it something to do with the antminer itself?

The pool should catch up to the miner?

Not long enough...give it at least an hour

30mins

I wonder if it's something with my setup

How long has it been mining?

So I got my miner and I believe I have it setup right-ish.

In my pool it says I'm only hashing around 60GH. I haven't updated the firmware. Has anyone had any issue with stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333 mining pool with antminers???

Thanks.

Hello. My antminer is hashing away happily at 200+ , but unfortunately bI am getting the following error when I try to log in to it.


Anybody know what the deal is?
