Thanks a lot 2GOOD
All technobit devices can run on Windows. Here is my original topic:

I stand corrected
Must be just the stand-alone miners like ones from Bitmine.ch/AMT, Dragons and their clones which used Pi's.
hello
Is there someone have a windows version of this cgminer ?
I'tried to build in windows but not working as it must...
best regards
Olivier

Thank´s for you help.
I "extend" the cooling now and use the settings 8:240 / 930.
I add a big cooling block with thermal glue on the bottom side an it works fine.
Here´s the picture of it (posted in german forum too):

Hello,
I now got a HEX8A1 too, and have some HW problems.
It seems, that my Miner got much HW´s if i set the voltage below 900mV.
If I try the 8:230 / 860 settings (best ghs/watt) the HW´s grow up.
At the Moment i use 8:220 / 900. Thats about 225Ghs.
I replaced the Original 48Watt Fan to 2x Sunon from HEX16B because of noise.
Can anybody tell me best ghs/watt Settings that are not lower than 900mV and not more?
(because of the other fans)
Can I damage anything by testing other frequency than 220Mhz?
For example 230/900?
(Sorry about my english... )
Thank you!

IMO you are ok at 220/900 you can try it at 230/900 it wont hurt, just be careful about the temperature of the heatsink.
You can also try 220/880

Something to be cleared.
The 240 Ghs is the same miner as previous sold by us 260 Ghs, the difference is the bottom heat sink witch is now 35 mm thick (was 70)
This way the cost is down and can be run near the sweet spot of W/GHs ratio.

Here is the updated Price Chart
The board is now listed as 240GH

2 BTC seems expensive for 260GH/s, the cost of 2 S1's (including shipping and VAT / customs to UK) running 400GH/s
You need to add 25% for VAT+Customs then add the cost of an extra power supply.
UK electricity just rose to 15p(25c)/kWh! and the Ants will use 25% more power at 2W/GH. Not sure why Marto's A1's are not as efficient as the Chinese A1's claim to be though. Mine were 1.5W/GH @ 260GH and 1.2W/GH @ 215GH. It's not any better than my Hex16Bitfury miners really, but it will beat an Antminer!
Fair point, but still quite some difference in price and it looks like these need a controlling computer of some description adding to the power overhead unless we talking pi of course
No, we are talking about TPLINK TL-MR3020 which is half of Rpi price

Depending on the number of miners. I have 3x HEX8A1, 3xHEXB and 1xBFL60, combined they use about 1.3kW, a 100W or so for the control PC is not that much in context. OTOH, for a single HEXB the PC would use too much power.

But S1 needs about 2W per GH...

no usb hub used. I have a dedicated PC (mATX MB) as the control box running cgminer. All 5 unit were plugged directly into the MB and tested individually. I even went to the trouble of trying the two DOA units with another PSU and Laptop.
Actually, maybe DOA is not the right term. sorry, I can detect the units in cgminer but nothing seems to get it to hash. Tried all the settings described by 2Good's review.
Anyhow the unit are already on their way back to Bulgaria. I did ask TechnoBit for additional support but was directed to submit RMA. They responded promptly
Cheers,

Sometimes DOA can just mean the USB leaks power and your power protected USB hub wont let your PC talk to it.
It's always worth trying it directly plugged into a TP-Link TL-3020 (running the Technobit firmware), bypassing the USB hub, to check if it works. (risky to do this with a PC/Laptop! but TP-Link no bug issues)
If it does work, you can solve it by taping out the ground or +5v connector in the USB cable, then it should work back on the power protected hub.
USB1 hubs/PC ports can cause problems too as they are not fast enough and some power supplies have issues if there is nothing plugged into the 5V line.
