I can confirm *on my Sat* that 0.97 is faster then previous firmwares. From 270gh/s to 278gh/s.

So far my Saturn seems improved in regards to flushwork and WU....I still have a high HW error rate, maybe slightly higher even...but at this point i am happier....30 mins in....will check back later.

The hardware error rate is killing me, seems that no matter what firmware I use, some firmware lowers the WU but improves the error rate, and others raise the WU but increase the error rate......most of my cores are running and flushwork is better.
Any ideas on why such a high error rate??

I don't really care about the error rate. I only look my hash rate @ the pool.
well those errors ultimately affect my hash rate @ the pool that is why I am concerned.

I see network hashrate that was 3.25PH/s when I looked late yesterday was a moment ago only 2.72 and now is 2.9.  I wonder if it's KnC miner users shutting down and restarting with the new firmware.


KNC Pool (https://portal.kncminer.com/) speed already 70 +TH/s (from about 25 TH/s for 24 hrs ). What it mean?

The firmware worked in the datacentre. It was tested on the hosting facility last night, then released today as it was deemed stable.

DPoS I'm really glad that you're able to sort that out, so now your "faulty" jupiter is not faulty anymore Tongue

Let me just do a quick recap:

0) someway u were able to set input voltage for you miner to 0.9V
1) u've tweaked the cgimner.conf fiel in such way that cgminer start but do nothing (so no enable/siable core dance anymore)
2) run enablecore repeatedly trying to maximize the number of working cores.  
3) use Like-jr bfgminer instead of cgminer to mine

is this right?

a few other quests:

a) is this jup a 8 VRM  or a 4 VRM one?
b) which is the version firmware currently used on that box?
c) wattage at the wall?
d) u get a die completely turned off on one of your asic board, right?

thanks for sharing your experience.


edit1: theoretically with a 1200W CPU we could turn a good miner into a super miner using this procedure?
edit2: do you have lower system load while using bfgminer (uptime command output)?


I'll be getting a 1000 or 1200w psu today for it..  the 850 is nice but I dont want to kill it

yes the 4 steps you list are correct

a) all 4 VRM boards
b) using .94  (since I have a dead die issue, .93 and earlier can't ignore that and goes on an error tantrum)
c) I have to get another kill-o-watt, but would be scared to know while on the 850, will know later today
d) yes this miner has one die that won't come back anymore and another that sometimes turns off but so far come back on reboots.  

uptime/load:
 15:39pm  up   7:53,  2 users,  load average: 1.54, 1.41, 1.36

I just put .97 on the other miner so need to wait to get a comparison

Same here, on a Jupiter, paid 16 of July. And people who paid middle of August are getting theirs shipped. Hosting customers getting fucked bad, I don't understand, what's the issue with their data center? Have they run out of space? Why the eff are they shipping mid August orders before mid July hosting orders? WHAT IS UP WITH HOSTING? Day 1 & Day 2 hosting customers are good. Every other hosting customers are effed. Something smells fishy about this.

Wow, my first found block.  On Slush.  A few days ago, I just noticed.  Can't think of any other reason this one Found Block is listed on my profile page.  The block number 265105.
You da man.

did you try to call KNC near few days, when they start hosting clients?

Just an update for anyone that has paid order from Aug 6th:

I've sent an email regarding my Order# 516X paid Aug 6th in regards to my status being in progress for a full week now. They've sent me a response saying they are shipping my Saturn today and gave me the DHL tracking number.

I have no activity on BTCGuild for any kind of "burn-in" period, and according to DHL, they picked up the package at 10:14AM in Sweden. I don't see anywhere on the DHL tracking page as to when the estimated delivery date should be though, gotta give them a call later and see.

So anyone with a pay date from Aug 6th up should be getting delivered soon. Oh and btw, my status on the KnCMiner page still says "In progress" and not shipped.

I would recommend anyone wanting to know their true status, contact the sales team at KnC, and ask them politely (and not aggressively).





My email to them:

Hi,
 
     I wanted inquire as to when I might be receiving my miner? It is now a week past the 15th deadline. I've been patiently waiting for an update, as my status has been "In progress" for a week now. You guys originally said you would clear the log within 3-4 days, and it has been well passed 5 days. The difficulty is about to change again in 3 days, I need my unit as soon as I can. I am loosing a lot of money everyday (about $100 per day), and I know you guys have no plans of compensation for that. Please, I need an answer as soon as you can.
 
 
Thank you.





and their response:

Hello Asif,

Apologies for the delay. Your order is shipping today with DHL. Your tracking number is; 689XXXXXXX
 
Regards,
Liam

Add me to the list of people that are very thankful for the .97 firmware.  Flushwork is a hell of a lot better and my performance increased 20 GH/s to 546 average (536 ish at the pool).

If you got hired for a job that advertised 550 a week, and they gave you 510 instead, you'd be ok with that?
or better yet, you simply got a cut in pay, and they call it an upgrade
we have a name for your type around here...sheeple

wow.  up til now I thought you were just too emotional.  Now I know you are an idiot.


Well, if you were hired at 400 and expecting to make 550 after tips ....

recommended. not required.

Your miners were working very well before yet you still decided to tinker with it anyway by updating the firmware.

The main rule of thumb when updating any drivers/firmware for anything is that things can break or go wrong.

I don't really appreciate the satire, especially since the two were underperforming to begin with... so everyone should just not update anything cause you said so, eh? Even when KNC recommends it.. .     I hope it happens to you as well.

Did you try light pressure on the VRM tops of the ASIC performing poorly, but not enough pressure to flex the board threatening to break ball grid array points under the ASIC?  Better to take the board out and place on something flat to prevent flex then press on the VRM tops.  If those tops are heatsinks then better contact improves operation.  Didn't make sense removing the fans on the side of my module improved cores 'till I remembered I did press on the VRM tops.
will do... 4am here im gonna catch a few more winks

do you need to run enablecores bin file on .97?? Anyone


after upgrading to 0.97 alot of cores were disabled and are now being reactivated one by one

do you mean disabled by cgminer while running or disable since the beginning (just after the reboot)?

disabled while running
