Anyone have 4 thermal pads enough for 4-8chip chilis for sale?
Awesome! That should make it fast to perform updates.
I got my miners up and running! It took me about 3 hours to get them all set up. Thank you MrTeal and ChipGeek for the boards, and Keefe for the mounting kit! Each board is currently averaging 35GH/s.
I do have one board that takes a long time to boot up for some strange reason, no clue why... hopefully future firmware update fixes that if it turns out to be an issue. Also, how will we be updating the firmware? Will that be doable via USB or will I need a JTAG?
You are welcome. I'm glad you got them up and running.I do have one board that takes a long time to boot up for some strange reason, no clue why... hopefully future firmware update fixes that if it turns out to be an issue.

Firmware upgrades will happen through the same USB cable you use for mining. You will have to stop mining and there will be a simple app that will download the new code.
what is everyone using for thermal ?
pads or paste
what pads are you using if so
what is the the best option for a $50 or under heat sink

I still have some pad left to sell ($2 per 37*33mm + shipping, shipping from California), send me a private message for details.
The pad is the recommended one (http://www.frozencpu.com/products/16875/thr-161/Fujipoly_Extreme_System_Builder_Thermal_Pad_-_Full_Sheet_-_300_x_200_x_05_-_Thermal_Conductivity_110_WmK.html)

• A thermal pad is recommended over CPU grease as it cannot be guaranteed that all the dies will be coplanar or at the same height, I recommend this one for reasonable price and good performance

Recommended Cooler #1 – LGA1155 based
Coolermaster Hyper212 Evo
The Hyper 212 Evo is a good cooler to use this with Chili, although the included mounting hardware does make it a little difficult to use. I would recommend using these spacers instead of the supplied ones

and screw them in with some M3x10mm screws

Recommended Cooler #2 – GPU based Arctic Cooling Mono Plus
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=7983391&CatId=99
This one is a little simpler to apply as a GPU die is about the same height off the motherboard as the Chili ASICs. It’s nice because it comes with a bunch of little heatsinks you can use on the VRMs if you want, too. I still recommend a backplate, similar to what you would use for a GPU.

Also, I would assume you’re going to be mounting them vertically if you’re doing this, so you’ll probably want to pick up a PCIe bracket.

Bargraphics, is that a 32-bit or 64-bit build?
If it is 32-bit, is the 32-bit version of BFGminer safe to run in 64-bit Windows?
I'm about to build my Chilis and I want to make sure I'm on the right track.

64bit I believe and yes I think even 32bit can run on 64 without issue.

It's working, thank a lot Bargraphics.
I can confirm that Noctua NH-U9B SE2 92mm SSO CPU Cooler compatible with The Chili. It came with a backplate, 2 fans, and huge heatsink. Need some washer or spacer to make it fit though.

Here I use newest cgminer with zadig.
"cgminer -o stratum+tcp://stratum.mining.eligius.st:3334 -u myaddress -p x -G"
Not hashing, doing nothing. Try it on 2 PCs, same thing. My Bitburner Fury works fine. Change usb cable, same result.
LED 2 blinking
LED 5,6,7 on
LED 1,3,4,8 off

This is a workaround version of BFGMiner until a new firmware update for the chilis
Here's a modified version of BFGMiner, I also included the driver inside of it as well that should fix your problem. (I don't know much about CGMiner though)
http://www.speedyshare.com/uKncp/BFGMiner-Chili.zip
Open up bfgminer.conf and change the Pool and Username to whatever you want (It currently uses mine so make sure you change it)
Run CDM v2.08.30 WHQL Certified.exe to install the correct driver for windows
Once you do both of those, just open up bfgminer.exe and it should read from the config automatically and start hashing for you.
If it doesn't see the Chili, all you have to do is keep BFGMiner open, unplug the USB, Plug it back in, press M then + then type all or auto and enter. It should find it.
Please note if it still isn't working then you need to exit BFGMiner, unplug you chili power, plug it back in and wait for all the lights to stop blinking. If you try to find the miner while it's "Booting up" it will have issues.
"Booting Up" is the two most right LEDs (Closer to the Power) blinking back and forth. Again once all the LEDs are not blinking anymore it should be ready to start hashing, start your BFGMiner and follow the above steps.
Let me know if this helps

I can't seems to get my board working. Using bfgminer 3.3.0 I keep getting:
"BFL 0: Failed to send queue, and queue empty; retrying after 1 second"
Any idea what's wrong? Cgminer with zadig didn't work either.
I received 2 boards and both showing the same error.

Try a different pool. Or maybe a newer CGMiner version. What is your start up script?
Fired up my first Chili. Its hashing at 30 GH/S. Anyone have any thoughts how to squeeze 5 or 6 more GH/s out of the unit?
Get some extra fans blowing on the back of it to see if you can cool it more. My coolers are working the top of the chips well, but the back of the board is where the heat is for mine. Try a box fan and see if the firmware takes advantage and pumps up the hashing speed.
I think its probably a bum chip.... or several sub par ones? Board #2 right next door is hashing at 35 GH/S with the same cooling.

I'm hoping the new firmware will be up soon so I can just plug the boards into my android... decided to start running EasyMiner on the android because I needed to free up my laptop.
all i was saying is the design is sexy
thank you MR TEAL you guys rock the shipping was super fast
i got it today i opened it and dam its soooooooooooo smalllllllll
BFL got nothing on this design. i really cant believe how small the unit is
when i got it in a small package i was like wow its like half the size of a gfx card
great work i will be testing asap once i throw a cooler on it

WOW.... amazing
Atleast fcking check BFL threads to see Singles being posted by members, noobs.
