Topic: [Setup & Troubleshoot] Bitmain AntMiner S1 180GH/S miner - page 148. (Read 452359 times)
can you copy the entire settings here?
what is the timout number?
Should I change " option 'timeout' '40' " to something else perhaps? It's at 40 now, goxed in the thread suggested 36 if you set the clock to 375. I want to avoid overclocking the unit just yet for warranty purposes, so I'm looking for some suggestions besides just bumping the clock higher.
So youre running 2 miners on the PSU? If thats the case this could def be cause of the problem.
At the time I had this problem I bought a new PSU as well but ultimately the performance improved after I changed the clocking setting.
I was super sleep deprived when I did it and dont remember what I changed but if you could post your current clock settings I might be able to give you a suggestion.
Also I highly recommend reading this thread : https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/bitmain-antminer-s1-support-and-overclocking-thread-348327 .
When the miners first ran I had tons of x too but they were firmware errors. My miners worked fine, I do think I had some faulty clock settings that caused it but again I dont remember which they were.

Here is the weird thing, on the web front end it says the clockrate is 350 MHz, but if I ssh into the box and vi /etc/config/cgminer it says the following:
config cgminer 'default'
option chip_frequency '282'
option miner_count '24'
option api_allow 'W:127.0.0.1'
option more_options '--quiet'
option target '60'
option overheat '70'
BUT why would that be an issue cause the second miner has the SAME config.
Errr...duh, nevermind. I see that /etc/config/asic-config is where it stores the actual chip frequency config table. There is says 350.

Now half the chips on the second blade are dead:

how do you have these powered? (PSU brand, model, wattage, and # of 12v rails and what cables you are using to run 12V)
alternatively, turn off and let it cool for a few minutes before starting up again
PSU: OCZ EliteXstrem 1000W
Rails: Single rail.
Cables: 4 pci-e 6pin connectors, 2 per unit. This is not a modular PSU so I have no chance of somehow running the unit off of the same PSU connector. I made sure the pci-e leads do not seem to originate from the same PSU strand but it's not really all that easy to tell.
The unit is hosted with a family member so sadly I have to wait until I can do the turning it off and letting it cool trick.
I think though that either putting the unit on it's own dedicated PSU will fix it, and if that does not then it's clearly a fault with the miner itself.

try to replace power supply, or at least measure the voltage on blade power screws. at 11V and lower these units are underperforming greatly and a lot of cheaper PSUs drop the voltage greatly under load.
Hmm, I'm using an OCZ EliteXtream 1000W unit which should be a fairly top end PSU. But I think your idea about trying a different PSU is a good one. I am thinking placing this unit on it's own dedicated PSU and see if that makes a difference. I have another exact same PSU that I will try. If that fails I will have to try a completely different one.

Here is what worries me. All of a sudden the hashrate dropped to 89 GH. This makes me think one of the blades is faulty. I tried rebooting it 2 min ago; still at 89 GH.
This IMHO justifies a warranty claim. I haven't power cycled it as I'm at work but I will try that later on.

I had the exact same thing happen to my miner....dont give up yet.
How did you fix yours?
Not that I think this makes a diference but this miner is running on the same PSU as another one. It's a 1000W psu. Each blade has it's own dedicated 6pin PCIE cable.

I had a miner that ran about the same. Around 160gh/s .
Ive played around with the clocking and its now running 400mhz 199-201 gh/s . Still about 4 -5 gh/s lowe then other miners but not nearly as bad.
You should try to play around with the 375 ./ 400mhz settings ( void warranty ). Do a couple of reboots. see if it helps.

The miner are offered with 180GH/s +/-10%
So my first opinion is, maybe yours run at the bottom.
You could Overclock to reach at least 180GH/s you temperate look low enough so it should be easily for your miner.

I checked on the poolside and it's definitely lower than the other miners..~150 gh.
sushi, any ideas what I can do?

I have one unit that seems to be underperforming. After leaving it to mine for 30+ minutes the AVG hashrate is 155 to 160:
See screenshot below:

Using the formula posted by giletto it came out to 0.54. Can someone just double check my math please in case I did something wrong. If 0.54% is correct then I'm wondering why the miner reports the average as being lower than what the other units report. Also why so many HW when the other units have a significantly less amount.
All units have the latest firmware as according to the kernel log:
Linux version 3.10.12 (xxl@ubuntu) (gcc version 4.6.4 (OpenWrt/Linaro GCC 4.6-2013.05 r38031) ) #7 Thu Dec 12 12:53:57 CST 2013

Hes (SVK) asking can two miners or better to say two PDU be powered from single power elctricy socket (AC 220 or 110V)
I say yes, it can.
I suggest to use multiextension power socket cord with protection and fuse.

Exactly
I have 220/240V elec. connection(normal voltage). Each miner has its own PSU CX750M and each blade has its own PCI 6 pin cable.
I was worried if two miners are not too much for one wall socket.
Thanks everyone for a help
The amount that can be drawn on each outlet is a matter of the circuit. I am running 4 of these miners on one outlet. they are split 2 to a surge protector which is connected to a wattage meter and then connected to the wall. There is no heat or problems with mine. I do however know that there is nothing else on this circuit. Each set of miners is pulling ~850w.

naw. a fridge or microwave can easily pull the same 1500W
