any voltage settings for 200mhz or somewhere around this number?
is it normal for some asics to drop off, to come back, or to be at half wattage?
thx!

If the cubes that are behaving this way are all connected to one power supply, it might be an indication that the power supply is almost dead. It happened to me twice with Lepa 1600 power supplies after powering 3 cubes each for about 9 months. Those Lepa 1600's are junk. I was only using 1200W evenly balanced across 3 power rails.
yes, 1 psu. actually 2 different dps2000bb.......>160A on a single 12v rail.... sucked close to 2400w on this psu with 2 sp20
lepa is 30a on rails 3, 4, 5 and 6. 30a*12v=360w and the cubes are closer to 400w than 360w.....
i don't think the psus are the problem
Does KnC still honors refunds in bitcoin?

Default should be at 450mhz per miner on the Neptune. If you see them falling off it either because there is a problem with the PSU, or the cube(s) them self.

Amazing how people will buy machines BEFORE doing any research.
This coming from a dickhead who handed over 51BTC to a scammer in England with a totally fictional company:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/bitcoin-miners-429513
And he still comes on here acting the expert and handing out advice
er Neptunes are going for $650 usd on Ebay I just saw today....even assuming you have the PSU's from say other miners....the
advice that mining with a Neptune is silly ...an't that much of a stretch imho
(esp at my rate of 12kwh ..this includes all taxes fees etc..the considerate xcel energy says it really is only 0.08c kwh ....heh )
so in any case I'd not shoot the messenger over if getting a home miner and/or Neptune in particular an't the best choice now imho
and I can't throw stones at scammers...hard to tell them from the supposed 'legit companies' i bought from BFL when I was a newbie
and KNC.... a jupiter which I did well on ...and have a 1st batch Titan ...after they went the scammer route for more $$$
so again.....getting on bitcointalk and saying folk have got taken from scammer(s) in one way or another and they should stop posting
I think 80% of folk on here would have to refrain
whatever my view ...wtf do I know I got stuff from BFL (did get refunded by luck 1yr 20 days later) and KNC 1st batch Titan...I'll be the first
to admit I don't know zip
again as to Phoenix1969 ....drop him a PM and ask him what he sold all his BTC mined for at what price.....heh ....me I should paid more attention to him in hindsight!!!
oh and for the new folk..he did get his 51 BTC back again like me was lucky...live an learn ..exciting times in bitcoinland!

Yep you have losers and winners in this game!
The losers show a lot of envy here.
While mining at ~7.5 TH makes me quite happy with my KNC miners.
Who is envious? KFC rigs are uneconomical garbage. You are either on the kfc payroll (most likely) or will sooner or later realise you are pissing your money away using their rigs. Either scenerio makes you a loser in my book
I didn't know Kentucky Fried Chicken had miners. The Neptunes are hit and miss. If you can get one running they are very stable and efficient. If you can't. You're s-o-l.

I'll update what I last talked about with Joakim Stignert. He is one of the lawyer in the group action.
You more people that will join the group action, the better it is for each of us. The interest are really high, especially by the amount from USA and Charlotte Lin.
Consider that, the risk are really low. They will tell the amount of participators so that each of us can make our own estimates of the risks. BUT the cost of the trial(s) should be "normal", so KnC can't get 10 lawyers and think that we will pay that if they win.
They make an estimate that at least 50 people will join the group action. If KnC loose and appeal and wins in the supreme court (first district court and if they loose and appeal they will go to supreme court). And if we count really high, let say KnC sends an invoice of 400 000 sek our cost per person will be 8000 SEK (400 000/50 = 8000 SEK or in USD $50 000/50 = $1000). And that is worst case.
They can't sue any of us because their name or their brand or any thing like that got poorly treated.

Have they put up the application form yet? Do they have a functioning contact email/form, or still not? It's hard to even take them seriously if you send an email to their listed contact address and it returns a postmaster delivery failure message.
they were probably were scammers wanted a quick buck on "lawyer costs"
so what do you expect?

Am I reading this right?
People are still buying Neptunes when KNC are at the brink of launching the 16 nanometer cloud and have stopped any & all support of previous products?
Amazing how people will buy machines BEFORE doing any research.
Your only hope is a BTC price hike to thousands of dollars before the diff jumps again. .... Good luck with that.
Worrying about a few Gigahashes is so futile... It's shear insanity!
Do the math... a Neptune purchased now will likely never ROI... ever. Not even with free electric.

To a lot of people bitcoin is a a hobby, so they know they will never get ROI with and or without free power. Instead is a long-term investment. Bitcoin has survived this long even with the governments showing their disinterest in it and the media's attempt to distant everyone who doesn't know enough about Bitcoin from it. It's still here today and it will still be here once the US economy tanks. No one not even you for saw it rise to $1200 before it happened, so there is a very good chance it will happen again.
If you dislike Bitcoin that much sell me yours for $0.05 a coin so i can collect them!
Sorry if this has been asked before, but is it possible to convert a Jupiter controller into a Neptune controller? The reason I am asking is because I would like to repackage 2 Neptune cubes + controller into a 4U chassis but I don't have enough Neptune controllers to do this. However, I have some old "November" Jupiters laying around and it would be great if I could use their controllers.
yep folk say it is do'able (see previous msgs in the thread) you just flash the jupiter SD to the neptune SD stuff from what i gather and viola
let us know how it goes...we hear people say it works but little else..hopefully because it works as quick and easy as my previous sentence
they don't bother to give feedback on the process here because it works well.
good luck
Thanks, I will give it a try this weekend.

So I finally got my long awaited bonus miner a week or two before easter only to find out that it was a PoS. The fans were not strong enough to do very much of anything, but I had the miners in a warehouse at 12 degrees celsius (don't know what that is in fahrenheit or zargons) so they should have been fine. But no, 4 out of 5 cubes overheated and turned off sections. So I was planning to get some new fans, some cooling pads for the power regulators and put some new cooling paste on the chips, but until then I would just run them heavily underclocked.
However during the easter holidays the whole miner just dropped off the grid. When I came to the site all the PSUs were running, so no major power failure like I saw on the Jupiter I have. Eventually I disconnected all the miners from the controller board and the board started flashing its lights at startup. I was hopeful. But the router never found the controller/Neptune. I suspect it might be the beagle (I have never seen such a scruffy beagle in my life, it looks like it had a lobotomy), but I don't know.
Does anyone have any ideas? If it can be fixed, what fans should I get?

When the controller flashes on boot. Is it 3 short white or 1 longer white? If it's 3, the controller is bad. If none, then more likely bbb. I have been able to use a new bbb on the controller board and it seems to work just fine. I've also picked up some spare controller boards from folks getting rid of jupiter, saturn & mercury units.
I didn't bring the miner with me. I was in kind of in a hurry when I was at the site. I 'll check next time I'm there. BTW I have a Mercury with a fully functional controller board. Any link to how I can get that to play nice with the Neptune cubes?
Just flash the mercury with the neptune firmware, update to latest firmware and you are set. (except merc propbably only has 4 connections instead of 6.
I went down to the site this weekend and picked up the Mercury and the Neptune controller board. Haven't had time to test it though. Anyhew, it's getting warmer and it's not much point in doing the controller board bit without improving the cooling. The 3000rpm Noctua are a bit much to throw into this money pit so I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts about these :
http://www.silverstonetek.com/product.php?pid=366
They are roughly 1/3 the price of the Noctuas, which is much more palatable considering the build quality and reliability of the Neptune thus far.
Depends on which Noctuas you want to compare it to. You can get Noctuas with 3000 RPM. So if your comparing to that it does not rank so well. But if it's a 2000 vs 2000 RPM I would think it would be ok. (I disclose I have not used a silver stone tek fan I'm comparing RPM as that is more what I would worry about.)
The silverstones come with an adapter to hook it up to a regular 12v molex from the psu so I am also considering just taping these at the back of the cubes and run them with two fans each. One sucking, one blowing [insert joke]. Anyone who has any thoughts on something like this? Would the turbulence cancel any potential benefits?
Generally speaking that is a good idea. Push/pull is a tried and true method of getting more power.
I have not tried fan's not linked on a knc product. But I have 2 C1's I rigged to use PSU instead and they run at max speed always, which is nice for cooling.
