Voltmoding and Overclocking Even Higher the Gridseed 5-chip ASICs

18, Mar 2014

gridseed-asic-higher-voltage-mod

It seems that the community has figured out a way to do a voltage mod for the Gridseed 5-chip ASICs that allows for higher overclock frequencies and thus even higher hashrate. We have decided to try out the mod ourselves and report our own findings and results with our older and newer dual mining mode ASIC devices from Gridseed. What you need to do in terms of hardware modification to your miner is to solder a bridge on the place marked with the green line on the photo above. Then you need to run the latest version of the modified cgminer for Gridseed with an extra option for the gridseed options line “voltage=1”. Note that the space where you need to solder a bridge is very small, it is designed for SMD resistors and if you are not experienced with a soldering iron you will have trouble performing this modification by yourself. Also if you are not very careful you may damage the device by soldering something that should not be soldered and thus shorting the ASIC, so be very careful should you decide to mod the device or higher voltage!

gridseed-asic-higher-voltage-mod-power-usage

After performing the hardware modification to our two miners that are from different revisions apparently we have tried running them with the modified cgminer (download link for the windows binary below, for the source). The older revision of the device we’ve got with CP2102 USB to UART Bridge Controller trying to run the setting to set the higher voltage from within cgminer returns an error about the firmware not supported. The device has a firmware version 01140116 and apparently this version is not supported, even modifying the cgminer to recognize it as supported firmware did not help in being able to overvolt and overclock the miner. The other newer ASIC device with STM32 Virtual COM port driver was with the correct firmware version 01140113 and the miner apparently did activate the overclock and overvolt mode. The power consumption of the device we have measure with the voltmod and running at 950 MHz frequency was with about 2W higher than at 850 without the voltmod, or with other words 8W instead of 6W (in fanless mode) with 2W more with the fan working (10W and 8W respectively). If you are doing the voltmod however we would not recommend to use the device in passive fanless cooling mode, though at 850 MHz and with no voltmod we have been running a single miner for already 48 hours without any issues.

With the increased voltage of the Gridchip GC3355 processors we were able to get from 850 MHz with no or very few HW errors (361 KHS) to 950 MHz with no to very little HW errors (404 KHS) after the modification. We could also go to about 425 KHS at 1000 MHz with very few HW errors, going up to 1050 MHz produces almost 450 KHS, however the number of HW errors we are getting at that frequency is significant, so the real performance is probably much lower than at lower clock speeds. What we would recommend as the most stable result is to go to 950 MHz as overclock frequency as good starting point after doing the voltmod and go up in 50 MHz steps to see how will your miners perform at higher frequencies and if they will do any better results. The latest version of cgminer supports overclock up to 1300 MHz in 50 MHz steps, so you can go pretty high, though you should be careful as the increased voltage and frequency might lead to damage of the device.

Bit-Mining Cloud Mining Service Having Issues with SSL Certificate

16, Mar 2014

bit-mining-ssl-error

The Bit Mining service for Litecoin and Bitcoin cloud mining is kind of down yet again, not long since they had another serious issue. Last week the service was apparently been hacked, but it was brought back online and this week the people behind it were trying to fix things and get everything back to normal and about a week now and it still is not fully back to normal. And while they almost did it, now the website is not opening again, giving an error about their SSL certificate not being valid. And this has been going on for more than a day now, though we have notified the support as probably other users did so already and they are apparently looking into the problem. If you disable the certificate validity check in the browser you can apparently login on the website, however this does pose a risk for your security and you should enable the validity check for SSL certificates after that.

The Bit Mining service has been available for a while now, but apparently things are getting out of their control. We just recently started testing the service and more specifically the LTC cloud mining that has been added not so long ago, but our experience so far with the service is more than unsatisfactory. Lots of downtime, problems and things that need more polishing, and along all that the the price drop of the hashrate, making it really not worth to invest into more hashrate. In fact we do plan to sell our 100 KHS of LTC cloud mining hashrate and stop using it and we would recommend you do the same thing if you have hasrate there, and when everything is back to normal we may consider trying the service again. Investing in cloud mining hashrate there for the moment is also not recommended, not until the issues they are having are completely resolved. Issues like that are really killing the users trust in services offering cloud mining hashrate as an alternative to using hardware miners, we’ll keep you updated on how things progress.

Impressions from the Newer 5-chip Gridseed Scrypt ASIC Devices

12, Mar 2014

gridseed-5-chip-asic-new-version

In our article about our first impressions from the Gridseed 5-chip Scrypt Asic earlier this month we were not very happy with our initial experience from the device. It seems we’ve got one of the earlier builds that were not very well built and the software for using them was also at a very early stage. Today however things look much better, we just got a new unit that we have ordered and it is much better built and uses the STM32 Virtual COM port driver instead of the CP2102 USB to UART Bridge Controller that our previous unit had.

cgminer-gridseed-stm32

We have tested the new ASIC device and it works just fine with the STM32 drivers installed with the modified for low power usage cpuminer for Scrypt mining by giving the virtual COM port number of the device. The ASIC also worked just fine when we have replaced the STM32 vitual cOM Port driver with WinUSB using Zadig to use cgminer 3.7.2 for Scrypt mining on the ASIC. We still haven’t tried using the new 5-chip Gridseed ASIC device to work in dual mining mode with TLC and BTC mining running at the same time as apparently the dual mining method that have already described for our older ASIC using the CP2102 USB to UART Bridge Controller is not working for devices with STM32 Virtual COM port drivers, so we’ll be getting back with more details on that later on when we figure it out.

For the moment however we are much more satisfied with the newer revisions of the 5-chip Gridseed LTC/BTC ASIC devices, especially when we take into account the improvement of the software support side for them in the last few days.
