Am i the only one around here who shit themselves when rebooting and that ultra white LED comes on.....every time the dam thing nearly gives me a heart attack!
No it got me the first time too
Then I paused and noticed no magic smoke.
All is good.

However, the Corsair HX series appears to be made by Channel Well rather than Seasonic, so it is totally different, I think.

I can't speak to the performance of the entire HX series, but my HX1000 has been running pretty much 24/7 on my main computer (the one I'm typing on right now), and ran 3X7970's for the last ? however long since they first came out until I shut them down when I got my avalon, but I still got one 7970 in there for games and litecoin, and the PSU is still kicking ass.
Also, more than once, I had a pile-up of laundry or other debris blocking the exhaust of the PSU (I have a case where the PSU is on the bottom) and it got very hot, it ran pretty hot mostly all the time, but when the exhaust would get blocked it was totally roasting, and still, not one hiccup or complaint.
of course, your mileage may vary, and I am very impressed with the efficiency of the Seasonic 1000 platinum, the thing barely gets warm, but I haven't nearly put it through the kind of torture that old HX1000's been through..
the only thing I worry about (and the main reason I chose the seasonic) is that the HX1000 is not a single-rail design, and I wonder if some of the problems we've seen aren't due to imbalanced loading on a multi-rail device??? But I'm not an engineer, I just played one in university.
Welp! I just posted my Unboxing and First Look video. I also made a post, but I thought it would be good to post it here too! Review coming soon!

P.S. It cam with a fan knocked off, but other than that, it's fine. Hashing at a stable 530 Gh/s on firmware 0.95. Enjoy the video!

Well done to (I'm guessing) our youngest Jupiter owner!
Fan knocked off and front intake fan dead, but good to see you got it up and running
Nice work goosoodude.
After apply 0.95 update and hit reboot button at the end, my Jupiter become unreachable. I`ve trying to reboots, resets everything and nothing help(I unplug all PCI-e before doing this). Still no answer from CS they dont even pick up the phone.
you were never instructed to unplug the pci plugs before resetting...thats why its not working... lol... it's supposed to be done with the power ONI just hope you didnt unplug the pci plugs with the unit on, you could easily fry a cap
I just ordered a replacement intake fan, I think it should do the trick.
i do that but nothing happen
when hard reset
i must see any light???

HARD RESET
The miner is equipped with a hard reset button. This is located next to the power
input on the controller board. To perform a hard reset on the miner you must
press the button 5 times consecutively
,
wait 5 seconds
, and then
press the button a
further 5 times
. Please note that the miner will not restart

I do resets according manual
How do you read a manual?

Will that take some heat off the PSU to cool it down some?
Find out. Many (though mostly older) PSU's need a minimum load on the 5v or they dont regulate properly. This can cause severe issues, like high fluctuations on the 12V.
Just connect a cdrom drive, light bulb, hdd or whatever to put a minimum load on the 5V and see if it makes a difference. If it doesnt help, its not going to hurt either.
thanks ok i'll just keep the seasonic 860 80plus platinum for the Jupiter and I have a 660w seasonic 80plus platinum for the Saturn
whew..i was like 1 click away from getting the corsairs....(better to be dumb and lucky I guess)
the corsair and seasonic psus are kind of exactly the same thing
ack..... i'll guess i'll just have to take my chances and hope it is the 'specfic' model of corsair they talk about the AX860 I think it was
if I find out diff i'll just plain have to go get another one in town someplace

It is a totally different class PSU. i wouldn't worry about it.
I think the AX860 is _based_ on the Seasonic 860XP, the one you have. However, you still have a more reliable brand because Corsair does their own work and asks Seasonic to make modifications, for better or worse. I should have gotten a Seasonic, but mine is kind of an copy or so, so i guess it doesn't matter.

Got my stuff in today. One of my Jupiters was working for about an hour then shut itself down. It refuses to power itself back on. It will briefly attempt to turn on for about 3 seconds and then it shuts down again. I thought maybe it was the PSU so I swapped it with another but that isn't the issue.
PSU's = OCZ ZX 1250
The other two run fine.

what does it look on the inside?
Some troubleshooting steps I've taken. Nothing is consistent but I might be on the right track. All the cases are off.
Attempt #1
~ Unplugging the ethernet cable allows it to boot up from a hard shut down, oddly enough. After a few minutes then I plug it back in. It mined for about 15 minutes and then shut itself down again.
Attempt #2
~ To answer your question about looks, the heat sinks inside lean back and are not level like the others. Noticed one is sorta loose. The other 3, while leaning back, are tight to their boards. Unplugged the PCI-E from the loose one. Turned it back on. A red light is on the front instead of green but the other three boards are mining and have been for about 30 minutes. Will update...
---------------------------------
Side note...the PSU connected to this particular machine that is having problems is very warm. The other two machines aren't warm like this one. Will test how warm it is in a while if things are still mining with only 3 of the 4 cards without shutting down.
Side note #2...One of other machines that have been running all night just fine, one of its case fans are running at a very low RPM and not emitting any cool air. Maybe KnC can send me a replacement?
---------------------------------
UPS is throwing these things around rough. Boxes were damaged. No packing peanuts/balls of any kind still. Just the piece of packing foam on each end.
Please try attaching a harddrive to the PSU to put some load on the 5V/3.3V rail.

Quick report after ~8 hours of hashing: all is running fine, low temps and very low error rate.
I must say that now my Jupiter is running as expected.

Now imagine having no access to your miner, no return emails and having to wait until 4:30am to call their customer service to talk to someone that can't help you. All the while mining ~400Gh (an admitted improvement over 150 from the last 2 days)...
I'm sure they will eventually make things right with me, but it will be too late. After all, I've now been mining for 3 days for grand total of .8 BTC (yes that was a period before the
.I really just want to talk to someone that has physical access to my miner and can troubleshoot it. In my opinion, people that paid an extra $2200 for hosting shouldn't be worse off than those that had them shipped.
Yes, I am in the same boat as you are, got 100 GH/s for days, finally reached 400 yesterday but by no means am I getting close to 550.
Plus I mined on their pools for a full day and a half and I haven't seen any coins and since they don't have stats (WFT!) who knows what that pool is doing.
I am emailing support every day, I am getting an answer every 2 days but the answer is always useless although polite.
I am hoping that hosted people like us, will have another round of compensation...
BTW: I would be sooo rich if the startup time would be correct 
You would probably own 50-70%+ of all coins and nobody would end up using bitcoins because it would basically be, trepex coins.
