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

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.

My Jup went up about 30-50GH/s so I'm pretty happy with the latest firmware.

And I think it's fair to say that the KNC 0.98 firmware helped BTC Guild break the 1PH/s barrier haha.

Yesterday they were hovering around 920~TH/s.

0.97: 536GH/s avg over days of running, no power measurement, ~60C temps
0.98: 559GH/s avg after 30 minutes or so, no power measurement, ~65-69C temps

It's almost certainly sucking more from the wall, but I don't really care right now.

Just a word of warning, if your unit is fine on .97, do not upgrade.

My Saturn lost 8gh/s, and 150WU on this upgrade, it disabled 7 cores that I previously did not have any issues with.

Going down to .97 did not fix it, I had to :

Downgrade to .97, reboot, run enablecores, reboot, factory reset, reboot, re-setup and update cgminer.

Back to 283gh/s after all this with WU 4060.

Did you even compare HW?

Yes, HW errors went up 1% on .98, was 3.48% on .97.

Edit: The pool also reported much less shares submitted for that period on .98.

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

probably best just for troubled miners to run .98 then

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

I never trusted the grease that was on there to begin with, so I only powered up for about 20 minutes to make sure everything worked then changed the grease over to what I wanted. It could have been the same, but my Dad who has a Saturn also has great running speeds also and I changed his thermal grease as well. It can't hurt I guess. The stuff that I saw there just didn't look right. Very bright silver stuff that was almost wet. That's what made me change it to begin with.

Why would you tell people do do something like change the thermal paste if you have no evidence that it actually improves anything? There isn't even any evidence that the chips are having any problems due to heating or even getting very hot at all, and you're chips aren't running any faster then anyone who wasn't having problems, most of which have been fixed with the new firmware.

In fact, at this point it sounds like the chips need to be warmed to a minimal temp anyway, in order to get an optimal hashrate.

Yes I already knew this.

not sure how i feel about .98

75w more at the wall, and depressing specs 800/550..... back to .95 i go


edit: on second thought my HW rate has dropped from 10 down to 2% and my hashrate is staying pretty stable at 550gh/s

If you already knew that why did you post a misleading stat? Either you don't know that the 800 is meaningless or you wanted to deceive people. The 800 means nothing whatsoever it could drop to 100 immediately after and your average would be 300.

DHL is odd. It got to the states fast. Now its came to a craw..  Cry

DHL has lousy tracking in the US (great overseas) since they are a minor player here.  Your miner is probably just around the corner from your house.  Wink

You guys are gonna think I'm totally nuts... remember how I removed the ASIC fans??
Well, my basement is so cold that I'm now experimenting with freezer bags covering
most of the heatsinks.  lol  Temps went up about 5C and confirming more hash and WU.
Power draw is about 343W. Temps are in the mid-40Cs. I'm thinking maybe the ASICs
need to be warm, but the rest of the components should be kept cool. I put rubber bands
towards the top to keep them in a steady position after the pic. And check-out my peak
number!!! FM 9.8 and enablecores. I have not done a restart after initially putting the
bags on less than they are now.

Wow!  In my opinion you're just asking begging for trouble.   Huh

Do we even know for sure that the temperature sensor is located in the chip itself or somewhere adjacent?  You could possibly cook your chips and not even know it was imminent by checking your status page temps.
