here is my box as it arrived...with the added benefit of being full of water (had a nice little bath on the trip it did)

http://imgur.com/5X1hnNa,nXZ4PbF


well in the USA not much seen of DHL if i'd had wanted to pick it up i'd have to go 200 miles to capital of the state....if the driver cant get you at your address to sign for it your screwed and get to take a trip to the capital.....as you can see it arrives looking like the trash in the scene of Independence Day.....I asked the driver if I had any options on accepting something looked like this..he said nope between knc and dhl

anyway miner was fine if FULL of water....used a hair dryer ..and heat generated by panic for 2hrs to dry it out...luckly it looked be rain water so no dirt...

imho the packages are TOO LIGHT for their SIZE ..they just seem to beg to be TOSSED imho

anyway I don't have a clue on how to do SSH yet but at 66F 14c (?) humidity 65 in bsmt top off and NO external fans blowing on it or anything I think its been up with out a restart (how i'd tell w/o ssh no idea) it is currently hashing at 532729.973 GH ....it is running .95.....someone said that .96 seems to lock out what it thinks are bad cores immediately (some guys say they have some that come back after a bit)..so maybe i'll stick to this ver for now

man lucky it got smashed between the core units

also some other 1st hand experience with DHL besides being in a town of 60,000 and having only one DHL place to pick up in the whole Midwest state...

they did have a good tracking system and I called and found out would be here today instead of my assumption of Monday ...however told some other folks to call the 800 number just in case so they could track stuff..one guy found out his unit was lost and gonna go back to KNC (no zip code ...but it did have the state...go figure)...and another guy had something simiar I forget

anyway......don't think its the shipper think its the box being too light

anyway....hopefully all this stuff will be cosmetic ..man as bad as that box looked I was sure boards were cracked...not to mention the water....jeeez....but it seems to work ok i'll go research whatever ssh is so I can look athe miner work or some such

oh almost forgot my hottest core is 50c the rest are like 42c 43c (is that good ? bad? no clue?)

now i'm gonna sit here and drink myself stupid watching the little bugger mine BTC sheesh....what a roller coaster of a day!

my 2w worth .....

Searing

copy also on knc forums hopefully someone at knc will see this boxing just an't working out

Thanks, I'll check it out.

I now know there's nothing wrong with the Mercury.  Even though I haven't been able to log into the admin, it's hashing away.  I thought it was odd that it was getting warm considering I thought only the fans were running.  Then I checked my BTCG stats and there it was at 123GH/s.  I guess they actually did configure it in the factory.

Kano will most certainly prove you wrong on that statement.. No offense intended.

The following links might help.
lots of methods mentioned

http://forum.kncminer.com/forum/main-category/hardware/5890-newbie-tip-discovering-your-ip-for-miner

I tried arp -a both with the miner connected and unconnected,  I thought this would narrow it down but the same IPs show in both instances.

No IP I try is working.  Any other ideas?

Wireshark lists a ton of IPs.  I tried many.  Is there a way to narrow it down.  Sorry, a real NOOB when it comes to this stuff.

Not possible without hardware.

as long as you can fix it this probably means there's room for perf imporvment

Oh joy - another cgminer fail.
They didn't implement device details in my API ( 'devs' returns an error)
... and the very useful API 'stats' returns no details on them either.
Sigh ...

Thanks.  I had gone to the list of firmware on the News page and it only went to 0.95.

I can see why higher diff will give better results.  Less thru put at the BBB.

How could the total of October orders needing to be shipped out change when October orders were closed over a month ago? I'm not sure if people are just blind or ignorant.

Got another Jupiter today.  It was underperforming (~495) and one of the ASICs was about 18C higher than the others.  Used a flashlight to look under the heatsink and found that KNC didn't remove the plastic between the chip and the heat sink.  Removed the heat sink, removed the plastic from the heat sink and replaced it.  Performance is about 15 GH/s higher and temp is down to 50C (was 68C).

Someone else posted on the KNC forum the same problem:

http://forum.kncminer.com/forum/main-category/hardware/8377-it-should-be-removed-before-the-cooler-is-installed-this-is-a-instalation-quality-check-failure

I doubt anyone is lying intentionally, i suspect that circumstances are just changing rapidly.

  I said someone it's lying out there teeth and its ether you or knc witch is lying, one of the two, and that is a fact

yep just saying that temp diff is a sign one isn't running as well as the other if the cooling is identical.  They run cooler when they drop cores.. so that is a significant drop.  Probably losing 30-40Gh

Yeah, I looked and visually they seem ok. Not too worried if the temp is not beyond limit. What temp is the worry point for future info? Just like with PC/GPUs?

The speed has stabilized to 245ish using EMC. Will worry about tweaks later. Just very happy I have it early enough and it's basically meeting spec. I'm using a 1200 Watt Gold power supply.

Just fyi , I wrote up a quick how to get mining with Eligius with your KNC devices.. its dead simple but just encase someone doesn't understand..

BTW...  GUI reboot speeds still holding...


I wonder what the deal is?
all I did was change the passwords

also on a strange note...
Of the three units, the one with the LEAST WUnits is the fastest, and the one with the most, is the slowest.
Isn't that bass-akwards as to how it's supposed to be?

10 degrees difference between those two is some kind of issue..  not high temps to worry about, but do you have a die/48 cores off on one?  A fan not seated right?

Hold on, I hope you're not accusing me of lying there. All I did was ask, and relayed the response I was given. Don't go shooting the messenger bud, and yes the factory is open weekends as you well know because a) the chips arrived on a Sunday. I was there. b) Markus was there all last weekend with production in full swing.
