While I had mine apart I measured.

Looks like the bottom portion is 2.5mm thick, and the top is 1.5mm.  Both made from aluminum.

Nice! I was going to try that too but didn't get enough notice on the sale to order the pin headers in time and didn't feel like taking the risk without testing first...

Absolutely... and "too many" may also be marked as spam by most e-mail services and automatically plopped into the spam folder...

So I just soldered connectors into positions 5 and 6 on my Saturn's control board and connected the modules to them.  So far it seems to be working fine.

Now I just need my upgrade modules to arrive and I'll be ready to try making a 5-module miner.

I've always got a reply to my emails from KNC and I've been pretty critical but also gave plenty credit where it is due.

Perhaps people shoot off too many emails so they skip them



about shipping each module separately, they said UPS demanded it...  but I wonder where UPS's critic was when KNC shipped the miners?

Have you not read the previous 1090 pages of this thread?
/sarcasm

a lot of people angry with the knc??
What's going on?

They really should not have started taking orders so soon then.  That especially hurts in BTC right now.  Should have at least gave people a fiat payment option if it had to be ordered this past Tuesday.

You must be right.  The largest OEMs which ship tens of millions of PSU don't know what restriction their cases and designs are doing.  They probably had some kid just slap one on because it looked cool.  No possible chance they measured he restriction and airflow in a lab before going into production. That is one possibility. 

The other one is that you just have a defective unit.

SeaSonic X-1250 has the same exact "diverter flap" I used 12 of them for almost two years in high ambient temp garage and had no failures.  If you open up 90% of PSU on the market today they have a flap similar to that.   It is to prevent the airflow from bypassing the high heat components.

If this is true, why wouldn't Orama come on here and tell us if there was a delay. He's not just going to put his head in the sand and pretend like nothing happened.  Give him some credit.

Cyper I was referring to that guy on the KnC forums. The guy that owns 10Jupiters. He said today on there "I called and talked to Liam and modules will be sent out Monday" - not exact words but you get what I mean.

Who manufacture your PSU?  Looks like the baffler is longer than the one used by Seasonic and Corsair and doesn't look as rigid.  It might be better to trim it instead of eliminate it completely.

What works in a desktop might not power a miner.  I had a power supply label that said good for 15 amps on the 12v rail and the supply tests good and ran a computer but when I tried to power a Blade it failed miserably.  Days later I remembered many inconstant sometimes failing DVD burns so it actually hadn't been powering the computer properly.

yep...  guess they don't realize that severely reduces the overall cfm & cooling ability doing that, it actually does less "Directing" and more "Restricting" IMHO...  my example would be the unit that toasted using barely 300 watts (and freshly pulled from a running desktop)

Actually it is by design.  The baffler is there to force the air to go over all of the internal PSU components instead of the more direct and shorter path out the exhaust vent.  Here are more examples of other PSU manufacturers (Corsair and Seasonic) employing similar bafflers that partially covers the intake fans (toward the side of the vent).

polite requests are ignored

phonecalls go unanswered

emails are answered by an automated response that promises a human response that NEVER arrives

forum posts are ignored or smeared with dung by the lucky/paid/bored/ignorant

unreasonable demands are made of CUSTOMERS who are illegally referred to as BUSINESSES

it is a big scam, and we are the investdurrs.

that SOME of us made +ROI (in USD) is immaterial for those of us that did not.

boasting of your 'success' or your 'method' is irritating to say the least when genuine concerns are deemed as TROLLING.

wipe the drool from your mouth and open your eyes!

modules ordered & paid for AFTER november orders will be shipped this week? next week? so when will the november orders get shipped?

30th november just to stay 'honest'

1st of dec due to EXTRA modules needing to be shipped a week or so late?

do we have ANY say in what is expected?

i hate the fact that we have to backflip through hoops & moonwalk on eggshells to get what we paid for (a fully functional rig)

while the million dollar success story is plastered all over the world ignoring the multitude of LEGITIMATE concerns are overlooked or passed of as false

(ignore button is a pathetic threat made by pathetic individuals)

'do what i say or i'll press a button to ignore you without actually ignoring you' - awesome!

OK just for reference, as you may or may not remember my Jupiter really only runs well on 0.96

So I have been running it on vanilla 0.96 (cgminer 3.4.0) for 3 days solid, and memory usage is tiny.

Mem: 48476K used, 462096K free, 0K shrd, 28K buff, 36732K cached

Who is that guy and how does he know if anyone called and when?

Any news of delivery / production second batch?

They will start shipping today, got anyone an tracking no?
