Tried out 0.98 a few hours. I had a decrease of performance 281GH/s to 260GH/s.
Back to 0.97.

It seems that miners that are working well with previous firmware don't work well with 0.98.
And miners that are not working with previous firmware work well with 0.98.

dang it ...much like my life...I connected my Jupiter and infected you all!!!

(i'm always a*ss backwards from everyone else and last to get the memo.so it .figures)

by the by got an email that my 1 item I did keep and not upgrade to the monarchs (I know I know monarchs are pipe dream but considering I only had jallys and a 30g.... well punted....with bfl's refund policy and them being bricks and all)...anyway....I ordered it in April BEFORE KNC EXISTED AS A COMPANY and it will arrive 2 weeks later then my Jupiter did....

see how now my above comment on everything backwards in my life makes sense don't it?

huh, first I heard that... I'd have said 0.98 is a stellar success...

What kind of 24 Hour Earnings are you guys getting on BTCGuild? Mining calculators say I should be getting ~1.3 btc/day with my 2 Jupiters, ~1Th. BTCGuild is posting around 1.18. What's the deal with that? Using PPLNS.

Recent bad luck... seems to be network wide the past 24 hours or so.

Yup, slush was awful yesterday and Eligus worse today. Slush seems much better now though. Annoying after all this waiting and messing about lol

hmmm....in regards to slush..I'm supposedly (when I left home at work) running 555gh on .95 from my ssh window ...but on slush ...here at work I'm seeing slush at 536.8 consistent..I'm still running .95 so I'm sure some of that diff is just some slop in .95 from what I can tell from the people with upgrades and such..I think I read that .95 may show gh a bit high how much not sure?

so is this a normal variance between a pool (admittedly I'm running .95 so my hash may show a bit higher then it actually is) and what miner says?

I would like to upgrade to .98 ....but from what I see on here ....555gh from the miner/ssh page....5.6% error (using correct formula) adn a 7690wu? (if I remember right)....on .95....I probably should just leave it alone ....bout as good as I can get....

sorry if you've heard this song from me before...unless I'm missing something like .95 is way too high and I'm really probably getting 535gh or some such and/or there should not be that big a gap (even with diff on gh of running .95) and what i'm getting on slush?

anyway I appreciate your input/comments (we who sit on our hands from .95 stock systems salute you!.....time to repaint yellow stripe down back!)

@Phoenix

It's a bit overdue but thanks for the EUREKA moment. I always noticed my miners dropping over night but never could figure out why. I spent a lot of brain power trying to get the temps down, never even dreamed of going the other way. After reading your post i reverted back to closed case, window closed and set it to run for 12 hours. All 3 jupiters improved 20-40 Gh/s. I've repeated this enough times to believe it's not a coincidence. For anyone receiving new miners, it's definitely worth a try to run them in the 60s.

Right on... Thanks. You made Ewik happy he helped someone... awesome!

I'm glad you guys are having good luck with the new firmware, but the increased power consumption is kind of a pain, hardly worth the 2% extra hashrate I got out of it Tongue

My guess is that the cost in electricity for the new firmware is less then the money you'll make from it Tongue

Hmmm.... at least for me (after >12h) it looks like the .98 firmware gives me:

+20W (@230V)
+11Gh/s (correct avg. from cgminer - yes, I did use the new cgminer manually installed on 0.97)
less HW errors (included in the better performance)
higher temperatures (+3C but with my cooling still less than 40C)

This earns me 0.0139BTC per day (at high $0.35 European power costs).
That's better than a 7G BFL Jalapeno.

I got a good Jupiter from 23XX which arrived with 0.96 on and hashed out of the box at 535 GH/s (according to BTC guild, not the KNC gui)

I read all the reports on here about 0.98 increasing power consumption (slight overclock) so i decided to give it a try.

After the Jup got going again (it takes 60mins+ to 'settle in') i was hashing at a higher speed on the device - around 575 GH/s but according to the pool i have dropped down to 500 Gh/s

I gave it a few more hours but no improvement.

I downgraded back to 0.96, with a hell of a lot of reboots and reset factory settings, but i couldnt get it back into its sweet spot - i was bouncing around 375-425 GH/s after three hours

So now i have gone back up to 0.98 and i am getting 510GH/s at the pool after an hour. Hope it creeps back up to where it was before or higher.

I should have stayed with 0.96 preloaded and optimised at the factory. Of course all these boxes are different so your millage may vary. proceed with caution and perhaps ask yourself "does the risk of upgrading the firmware and potentially having problems - does it outweigh the potential gains in GH/s?"

EDIT: it crept up to 565 GH/s on 0.98 and seems to be very stable there.

I'm a happy bunny

Hi, miner's 1st the .98 work well on mercury in way tbe speed it's not jumpy its look like the speed don't fall under 100, the only question is after update and rebot i saw the message the core from 57 to 85 die what that mean?

it may take an hour to warm up to speed, but you will like the outcome...
my sats are loving 0.98... all of them...
it enables/disables cores automatic...no worries madususies

For the last 80 pages or so the only thing I actually want to see from KNC is that demonmaestro and CYPER get their miners.

Me too, and some compensation of some kind hopefully.

That would be nice but i am not holding my breath.

O and to top it off i paid for one day shipping.. I guess that was a waist of $100

Side Note: I need the demensions of a miner card with heatsink and the BBB with the connection card.

I hope this will be in less than 16 hours from now.

Yea i hope so too but when i talked to DHL yesterday(Monday) they told me that it wont be to me till Thursday. And by the looks of it it only moved from OH to NY Tuesday. Cry

What kind of Bullcrap is that. Huh

well fwiw, I had my first 2 jupiters delivered by UPS. First was 5 days late, and the second was 7 days late. Both times they left the $7000+ machines standing tall way up at the end of my driveway and left without ringing the door bell. The 3rd jupiter was by DHL and I got it in 3 days, and the delivery guy had it in his hand when i answered the doorbell. I guess what I'm saying is it's not just DHL. All courier companies are perfectly capable of royally F'ing up any delivery at any given time...

The realist

Variance. Just because a calculator says you should be getting say 2 bitcoins a day (in theory), doesn't mean you will be able to actually earn 2 bitcoins a day in reality. It all depends on luck of the pool, your hashing speed (stable, unstable, stale, dupes), size of the pool, number of miners in the pool, fees, payment type.... a whole lot of other factors.
