this is my pick for jupiter: http://www.enermax.com/home.php?fn=eng/product_a1_1_1&lv0=1&lv1=43&no=157

Good luck. This one can't run without mobo.

it is possible with paperclip. btw could you please give me some recommendations for jupiter PSU?

No its not possible this psu have protection for it. I have two pcs. Can recommend Corsair.

"paper clip" trick should make it works.
or just google for "ATX Bridging Plug"

I just orderd the zalman top of the bill. Over dimensioning, but when my avashit chips will ever come in i can power them from the same psu. Got some extra pci-e cons on these and its. single 12v rail.

Looks like KNCMiner just came out with information regarding PSU.
https://www.kncminer.com/news/news-31

Quote

So today we can reveal the following recommendations;
We recommend an 850 Watt PSU with a minimum of 4x PCI-E adaptors for our Jupiter model.
We recommend a 600 Watt PSU with a minimum of 2x PCI-E adaptors for our Saturn model.
We recommend a 400 Watt PSU with a minimum of a PCI-E adaptor for our Mercury model.
This recommended power wattage figure is calculated upon our max. power consumption of total device including all of its components.
We aim to ensure you use a power supply unit capable of outputting in excess of the current recommended wattage to prevent any problems caused due to insufficient power.
Note: Powers supplies must contain a sufficient number of PCI-E adaptors for each respective unit.

With the recommendations, which PSU is best?

Any news on power supply yet? Specific products?

No, people are speculating, but nothing official from KNC. The consensus is that there will be plenty of PSU's available. There's no shortage there.

This is realllly confusing. Why are you answering your own question?!!

LOL!! I got an email notification of a new post and just went to the thread and answered the question. LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't know why I got a notification of a new post. Maybe someone posted and then deleted it. That is pretty funny!!! I wasn't paying any attention.

Naturally BFL Josh would say that. But Knc is not an American company, therefore less regulation and more/easier innovation.

Umm...if you think there is less regulation in the EU than the States, you are gravely misinformed!

Switzerland is technically not part of the EU. And innovation in Swiss. us top notch. Don't want to hijack this thread. Maybe a new thread?

Last I checked Sweden was though, at least it was when I visited KnC personally two weeks ago...

lol. geography is hard. hahahaha

They are producing 28nm ASIC hardware due to be delivered in Sept/Oct.

The originally advertised 250GH/s for 7-8k USD and ended up promising 350GH/s for under 7k. We are currently awaiting final GH/s estimates (they are hinting that it will end up higher than 350GH/s for the Jupiter unit) and their Power consumption looks to be below initial expectations as well.

they're not hinting GH/s estimate, in the last news they actually said "It is with great pleasure that we can finally announce our Jupiter is now a 400 GH/s device ". You have a point about on the power consumption side since they said: "We have previously specified the power consumption of the Jupiter device at a 1000 watts. We have now received indication from our chip manufacturer that this may be lower."

Hi Guys

Sorry for butting in in your discussion but don't buy any power supplies yet.

We will have a large Technical announcement coming next week. Where we will give even more accurate Power figures and GH/s.

It will be a significant announcement which I hope will make all of our customers happy. and no before you ask I wont reveal any details before that newsletter goes out

again please don't buy a 1200W power supply you simply will not need one that powerful or expensive.

Waiting to hear, when does the newsletter go out?

Wait, when did KNC become legit? I always thought they were another start-up-scam-of-the-week.

If you spend all your time in BFL threads, you miss things. Shocked

Well I read a lot of BFL and Avalon chip threads, and try to stay pretty informed. Stay out of the ASICMiner threads, and the other little ones. Sorry I don't read every single thread on this forum, but that would be a full time job itself.

Thinking back, I think I heard they were using FPGAs, and thought their performance numbers were a little "optimistic", so I wrote them off, and haven't looked into them since.

In the mean time, where do they stand? They're using FPGAs, but somehow have the best prices, and power efficiencies, and will be delivering soon?

I wish more people would stay away from the ASICMiner threads. Good man. That operation and strategy is like digital Chinese SARS attacking Bitcoin.

I've talked to KNC a lot. Sam makes a lot of sense when he contrasts their business model with BFL. He's a nice guy. I believe them. I didn't go all in, but I will if they deliver.

So, if one were to get 1 Saturn & 1 Jupiter, can they use one power supply for both or need two separate?

Depends on final power consumption and what wattage your power supply is...

Ya 1500W is a lot for one PSU, tho it can be done.

Hopefully he will be ok with a 1200w as they are easy enough to acquire at a reasonable price.

Finger's crossed anyway...

No.

They only created the Mars FPGA unit to show that they could rapidly produce a device. They then had (multiple) open house days to show they were legit.

They are producing 28nm ASIC hardware due to be delivered in Sept/Oct.

The originally advertised 250GH/s for 7-8k USD and ended up promising 350GH/s for under 7k. We are currently awaiting final GH/s estimates (they are hinting that it will end up higher than 350GH/s for the Jupiter unit) and their Power consumption looks to be below initial expectations as well.

They by all outward appearances appear to be the best bet in the Asic for Pre-Order market at the moment.

Ya I realized I was thinking of their Mars, but their two new ones are ASICs, which makes sense. Thanks for the quick recap!

Thanks for the update. I was skeptical of KNC myself and it's good to see there is community support for them.

I'll be watching with great interest in Sept/Oct. It would be amazing if they pull this 28nm product off in that timeframe. Not an easy task to accomplish at all. Wishing them Godspeed with this project.
