Okay... update...

After two hours of messing about... I got the board that needs to be hot at a stable 73c, but it now shows 'FAULT' on one of the VRMs.
Even with the fault, the miner is showing 260GH/s average on CGMINER and 244GH/s on the pools side, both of which are slowly climbing. My 5s averages at around 271gh/s - 302gh/s.
I'm much happier with the speed now, but worried about that 'FAULT' on one of the VRMs.

What do you guys think?

Also, my Device Rejected rate and Pool Rejected rate has shot up from around 0.27% to now over 5%.




EDIT: Thanks Searing for the suggestion, but that is the first thing I did when I got my Miner. Keeping the temp cool isn't my problem. My problem was to actually heat it up. My miner normally ran at around 45c on one board, ad 48c on the other board. Now I have them at 65.5c on one board, and 73.5c on the other board. Never seen it run better then now. Just hoping to keep that stable.

Same here with "Fault 4" with a VRM. Tha asic went very well up to 0 Cores OFF and about 75°C....but since 3 days...this vrm pulls more and more amps as much more i have more temps. now the asic can run only about 65 °C because the vrm at max 50.2 AMP...over that temps tha VRM pushes more and it get the message in red "fault 4"

P.S. i had VRMS in a Saturn that worked with 58,8 AMPS very well.


What does the "Fault 4" state exactly mean?

Hi,

Fault 4 means "overtemperature".

Try adding some small RAM heatsinks on the top of the DC/DCs.

Also check the front fans and ambiant temperature.

PS: This fault code activates when then DC/DC converter exceeds 130'C. It will shut down at 145'C. It is not OK to continue running your miner that hot !

73'C for the board temperature is a lot too. You are stressing the components.

Hi Uski,

i have allready heatsinks on it since the first mining day. But i don't belive that there are 130°C at this VRM. I think it is faulty.

Do anyone know how to use an other of the 4 unsed VRMS instead? i have boards with 8 vrms but as we know only 4 are used of them.

What could be better than getting up @ 3am to see how much you made during the night?
I love this shizzle!
Gox @ 227, XBT @ 212....  
Just reached 50% return, day 19
But according to Croppo, they aren't worth a dime.....
I better just give up then....
Hahahahahaha

Congrats Phoenix! I am at USD break even in one more day!  I've made 32 BTC with my jup.  One more month(ish) to break even in BTC terms using the exponential difficulty estimates I have been using.

Edit - Looks like I am USD break even today based on coinbase price.
chrono, when did you receive your miner?

0.98.1 any time now...
hoping for another "1.21 GigaWatts..."

I've had entirely too much coffee for it to be 430am...... oops...lol

Where did I said that BTC did not worth a dime?

he meant the miner, dingus.

Where did I said that people efforts to obtain profit from a Bitcoin "miner" did not worth the investment?

I am start to realize there is a cognitive dissonance going on here...
Please don't get offended... Discussion is all. I did mean BTC BTW

Not to poke a lion... but I personally Mine for fun, in hopes of a profit... Smiley

That is great, I think this is quite reasonable expectation.

er I have to admit when BFL said it was gonna ship on time it was for "PROFIT" when the stuff just basically never arrived..(ie did the force convert to monarch out of desperation...brick now or brick later prob don't matter $$ gone)

well..because KNC took cc order with PayPal (which dummy that I am I did not do with bfl) I took a chance...and they came thru ..or at least close enough for my NEW in DENIAL viewpoint

er ..its just a  HOBBY

(denial...just another way to get thru the day)

Searing

OK, there is no problem to look for alternative ways for income and being duped  by a business like BFL. It happens with everyone at some point in life. There is nothing wrong with "mine" for profit or for fun.

What is wrong is people like feedbackloop trying to advocate that the Bitcoin network is some sort of "promising sound currency" which should not be trade for "exponentially-printed-to-oblivion/give-inflation-to-bankers-enslave-everyone-else/no-control-over-your-money corrupt currency". This kind of people seen to ignore the fact that Bitcoin is not a currency and never was mean to be. It is just a network protocol which allows people to transfer monetary value without the need of a central authority to validate the transactions. It is not like dollar notes or gold coins which can be kept by a collector, it is just some digits heavily encrypted. If it is not used to send or receive monetary value, have no value whatsoever.
Bitcoin is called cryptocurrency for a reason... it IS currency, digital or not.
its intrinsic value fluctuates with demand, like any other currency or commodity.

hmm..I'm at 14 btc set my miner up on oct 18th 8pm cst


I'm on slush? am I missing something like setting up difficulty different or some such hook I don't know about....using stratum..thought that did the difficulty on the fly....maybe i'm just plain noob wrong?

so anyway that comes out for me at about 3K so far of with Jupiter cost of 7130.10 comes out to 42% paid for I guess

anyway running around 560 but on .95 and around 6% error assuming knc stats are correct that far back

anyhoo better then I should expect with the increase in difficulty

Searing
Searing...
I really think you should try eligius... Just a suggestion...
I was a die-hard Slushie fan, but I really, really make more on eligius.
honestly
I could buy you lunch with the NMC too..  Grin

Not to mention, the graph makes an excellent visual tool

Just hit 100% USD Return (I spent USD to Purchase) on my Jupiters today based on $225 Coinbase Price.

Even if there coulda woulda shoulda been a better alternative, this option is still making a profit regardless.
