reseated the cooler on that one....its a bit better ... brought it down 5C , bit closer to the others now =) ... no speed improvement but at least its happier.

Can someone respond to my question about the temperature readout shown in the mining software? Is it the hottest sensor on the board or a specific sensor?
Hottest of the ASICs.

hrm ok.... then I have an oddball chili somewhere =( in a really cold room, most of them run 55C or less.... but I have one that sticks out like a soar thumb at 65-66C in same temp.

Do you know if the devices are mapped correctly in bfgminer? like if I disable the hot one and look for the one w/o the "working" leds blinking...that should be the one?

Or is mapping incorrect just like how it was for GPU's...

Maybe that Chili has a chip that sits too low and isn't getting good contact with the cooler?

Perhaps, I just hoping the bfgminer mapping is correct and Im actually dealing w/ the right chili =P guess one way to tell is unplug all but the one it "thinks" is running hot and verify it is indeed that one. Yeah, thats what Ill do =)
Then Ill just reseat that heatsink...see if can get better results.

Easiest way is to go into bfgminer and disable that chili and then play find the chili with no leds flashing Smiley

disable by pressing m and using the arrow keys to the correct chili and then press d and enter i believe

Yeah, I know how to do that... was just concerned that he actual listed device was not correctly mapped. GPU's used to have that problem. But, Ill find out =)

yeah, thats what Im hoping is the case.
My best chili is at 39GH @ 52c =P

Im sure if I put these things in the garage where its zero or below atm..... they would be running between 38-40GH each...lol

but, I prefer having free heat in the house =)

This actually happened to me.  I was getting 30ghs at 70C and then I redid the headsink and now it's 35ghs at 70C.

Hottest of the ASICs.

Can you give an ETA on a firmware update that would show per-chip temps and stats? Even better if VRM temps could also be reported separately somehow.

Quick update on the progress of batch 3. Everything is at the assembly house, so it is officially underway now.
Thanks to everyone who has participated, and I'll be posting up information on buying completed miners here right away.

Thanks

anyone try chaining these things yet?  I have 10 of em and am just wondering if the z-link chain is working and how I would go about connecting all ten via the pins.
Z-link is NOT working yet.  It is low on the priority list at this time.  It *might* get done in a month or so but there are other changes that are much more important.

This is what the 34 I have going look like now.

It's about ~80F in the server room. Unfortunately not worth the hassle to get it colder.

There's a couple slow guys that I should probably redo the heatsinks on but these the stats after 4 days of running continuously.

Really happy w/ my chilis atm - bought a sunzi (6 chilis)

In my cold room ... they are clockin between 36-39GHs/avg ... freakin awesome!
My overall error rate at this speed is 7%
Power consumption @ wall - 1280W

Total avg hashrate: 225GH


Wow, that is awesome! You must be keeping those chilis chilly.

I wonder if he got lucky and got a good batch of chips.  They're all running cool. I have one that performs this way and it's getting almost 37ghs.  The rest are pegged at 70 and get between 33 and 35

I sold them to him and I don't believe they ran that fast over here. It's all about the ambient temperature in the room I'd say. HW error rate is high on the chilis as they are enabling engines that BFL would not in their firmware. This leads to a higher hashrate, you'll just see a lot more HW errors due to those semi-bad engines being enabled.

Got a question, the temperature readout in bfgminer/cgminer ... is this the of the hottest sensor on the board? Or... a specific sensor...

Well the room they are in ... is like 50-60F =P
Oh, can chilis be safely "hot plugged/unplugged" on the power?

Yeah, I wish I could figure out whats up w/ that 11% hw error rate one. It wasnt that high when I tested these at the office. But these were not clocking anywhere near these speeds either at the office. So, maybe its just related to higher speed...or some weird seating issue happened during transport.
