and that is the lack of clarity oh my input is 12.73 I am good , is not true if you have 15 awg wires as you do not drop to a gui of 12.2
which was my case 12.73 from the psu dropped to 12.5 on the gui = burned board
I will be the first to say if read really closely I could have picked up the inconsistent issue.
But I missed that under 12.8 is only good if the gui drops to 12.2 which is what they meant to say.,
anyway still waiting on a rma answer from block_c
Input voltage no lower than 11.7V and no higher than 12.2V (numbers
take from the controller) Lower voltage leads to lower hashrate and higher voltage leads to possible device burning down.
The part that I might have not mentioned was this
The problem is smart speed it comes enabled so no matter what you set volts at smart speed lowers the hash rate to make no hardware errors.
Some one with good ssh skills will need to get in and figure out how to turn off smart speed.
the gear does over clock if you set your psu to 13 volts it does over 4000gh
Thanks for sharing! What does watts used look like when hitting 4000 GH, that is a decent OC from 3.5.
That is a 14 percent overclock. So better then a lot of machines as far as OC with your nice PSU.
13 volts let me do 4000gh all via smartspeed which means it overrides the 500 freq max.
I am not sure why I put 13 but if you go to the actual tests thread and do not use the notlist3d thread you can see I mention the 12.8 and not the 13 I also mention testing at the fast speeds.
I was doing that set of tests with the mean well 1500 psu and may have had issues reading voltages it was able to be set to 13.1 or so. But the tests did show gui of under 12.8
The gui under 12.3 shows up in later wiki info.
All besides the point of the thread. Which is how not to burn your avalon6 boards.
Simple make sure the gui reads under 12.3 volts
