at least you can glu the coffe cup back together & use it maybe...lol...what a slap in the meatballs...

No, the broken cup is gone.  Trying not to dwell on that.  It's unhealthy.
ROFL    I feel ya bro...

Sheesh, the photos you provided just show chunks of cardboard, I wanted to see how the air was being directed inside from the inlet fan. Forget it.

just put a small fan on the outside by the ethernet cable pointing in for airflow under the beagleboard

Remember, this is just testing conditions and this will be much neater after I figure out what I need to do and button up.  Might take a while to get the connectors to relocate the BBB tho.

The one core that was down came back on and all 4 at 100%. 


if you are going to do all that, drop the heatsink fans to the crossbar.  you'll be amazed on the drop in temp



I don't quite understand what you mean.  Your heatsink fans seem positioned same as mine although my single module is up front right.

When I fuss with my cardboard and fans, I sometimes get a reboot.  Since I run, at the present, without the top, center cardboard cooling the BBB, a 12v fan sitting inside blowing on the left side of the module, another 12v fan outside the case blowing on the right side of the 1 module (Mercury), I added another piece of cardboard to the right of the BBB, to the side and up to the module, taking the air pushed out the side and directing it to the module.  The miner white light came on and off as I moved the fans, perhaps a loose pin in an added fan connector, but it started again right away.  Put Bertmod back but earlier tried the 0.2.1 and found it works well with firmware 0.90, looked at my cores, which I could with the 0.2.1, and earlier their was a single core not up, but now there are four 100% cores and the BertMod says the power change from adding that one core on firmware 0.90 with ~0.9v to the 4 vmr's, was 174 watts with one core down and 180 watts with all cores running.
Any chance of a few photos? Hard to visualise.

Could you take one the other way, looking from the power supply towards the beaglebone? Just wanted to see how you are pushing the air down on the BBB.

All you'll see is the cardboard tucked under the module and tucked under the 90° angle of the front top.  There is a crease in the cardboard.  Unless it's you want me to search the cardboard from some indication that it was what my Jalapeno and broken coffee cup came in?

Now I recall, Avenger, embroiled in heated exchanges.  Are you with BFL?

Excuse me but I've got to get in some running with my dog.  A slow 7+miles RT to a nearby highway I think.

tried putty, tried FF, IE, Chrome, tried some stuff i have no idea what it was but ti didnt work and the guy doing it was stumped

closest i get is a login box in IE that i never see in FF - admin admin and the box disappears...

with no pci-e connected i get a solid red led

AAAaaaah!... you almost got it!
clear your
IE browser cashe and do again...
the admin/admin is indeed the right place...clearing the cashe will allow you in!
ccleaner is fast & easy.
most have better luck with chrome tho....whatever works!

on another note (totally off -topic)  It's a goood morning...

https://i.imgur.com/ah2LsGh.png

don't even bother to look at Gox, especially if you are located in the US. it's almost impossible to fetch fiat from there.
To get a more balanced estimate of BTC value look at bitstamp et al.
I've had a Gox account since April...  never had a problem.
The dough always comes, allbeit a bit slow.

I'm glad good for you, I've heard a lot of horror stories about people trying to fetch fiat via bank wires, especially for USD located person. I've to say that the amount of money those stories are about are quite high, thou.

Nah, that can't be right as (4dies)(48cores)(6watts)=1152 watts.

So, at 100%, 180watts/(4dies)(48cores)=.9275watt/core.

Trying the 0.95 firmware.  Not enthused.  Started off with 4 cores 100% but that soon dropped due to the .7volt output of the vrms.  Pretty quickly 23.95% of my cores became disabled.  That's the bad news.  The good news is that my power at the wall dropped from 268watts to 142watts and with BertMod showing 89watts, my power supply efficiency is about the same, 62.6%.  I might be able to tweak by raising my PCIE voltage.  I wait and see how this settles out.

Wow, not settling out at all.  Back to the failure to reach 100GH/s and it had started out with 100% cores.  I know from experience that adjusting my Vin, for an hour at 10v and later an hour at 12.5 Vin that it doesn't effectively get above 99.5GH/s while pre-0.95 firmware can allow me >130GH/s but at a cost of 162watts more at the wall extra.  So, the 34GH/s more I expect to get will cost me an additional 114% at the wall.  Well, this would be the time to spend that power, maybe not next year when network hashrate will be so high.

Back to 0.94, enablecores.bin run, have 100% cores for a few minutes then one core goes off.  Same die all the time.  Since the low voltage of the 0.95 lost such a high percentage of  cores, and since I've had the Vin adjusted to 11.7v yesterday and today, I adjusted it up to 12.0 and found the same failure; then adjusted it down to 11.5v and again after a few minutes it drops from all cores 100% to 1 core off at 97.9% of die 3.  It's right up to above 131GH/s avg. so I'm going to let it be at 11.5v, 180w from BertMod, 269½watts at the wall.

Someone needs to make a FAQ for these, or a consolidated hardware tweaks page.

I've never even heard of putty or know what the heck it is. lol

I can say for those who upgraded to 0.96, try using Chrome if IE cannot access it anymore.

Also, Ping is a great ipad app for finding the miner. It appears as Texas Instruments.
Putty is an SSH app, that allows a way to access the desktop/command line environment on your miner. Without it... you will be beating your head into the wall trying to fix some of this stuff because you can't access the cgminer window without it. Until i got a kncminer, i had never used it either... It's simple. just Goog "How to use Putty"
learning a few basic linux commands wouldn't hurt either...  I Had to do the same.
It's just like old DOS 3.1.... with different commands...

I will love it then. I miss the old days when you actually needed a brain to use a computer.
I did learn bit of Linux a couple of years ago when I was playing around with wifi sniffing.  ;-)
