We definitely need to keep track of performance as more chips go. Perhaps the foundry process improves and there will be minor revisions to the chips as time goes on to reduce the HW errors and inconsistencies.
KnC should hire that guy with the husky voice that does movie trailers and make a video ad.
They have all the elements going for him to whisper, " An epic journey into the unknown, share the joy, weep at the deception, see the race against time, feel the suspense, marvel at their speed, live the fear, see the dynamic explosions, heaven or hell...how will it all end?"
I'm dreading my box turning up now after reading all these last few pages today. Anything could happen.

The unit at my home is hashing perfectly. around 550 for a full 24 hours.
Good to hear.
Hope it stays that way, that's what we all expected after all ...the hashing perfectly part. 
KnC is promising 550 GH/s, but we have to consider that Jupiter has an equatorial surface gravity of 2.528g (approx. 2.528 times the gravity we encounter on earth). Which means that we are bound to achieve approx. 217.563 GH/s. Stockholm, where the devices are supposedly being hosted, is located at a longitude of 59.35(N). That is 0.6594 the distance from the equator to the north pole. In order not to get into too much of a hassle with radians, etc. we may safely assume, that the average ground speed in Stockholm is about half of that at the equator (465.1 m/s), which gives us half the centrifugal force, halving our 217.563 effectively, resulting in 108.7815.
Bottom line: If your hosted Jupiter performs at about 108 GH/s, give or take, you are on the safe side!

They should open the miner up and connect the wires properly. they must have came loose.
Someone in the kncminer forum had a similar problem:

Now friends, there was only one or two things that this gamble coulda done at
the end of September, and the first was the hash rate was ok, the chips were
on time and ok, the company was honest, and the mining machine just makes money
hand over fist while everyone else tries to play 'catch up', which wasn't very likely, and
we didn't expect it, and the other thing was the hash rate rose exponentially,
the chips were late or faulty, the company was crooks, customs delayed everything
and we all felt like we hadn't learned from BFL or Avalon, which is what we expected,
but when we got to the end of September there was a third possibility that we hadn't
even counted upon, and we was all sent canned messages saying that we are working
through the order queue based on payment date and not order number. As soon as
your order is produced and shipped you will receive a UPS tracking number via email.

The queue was the only thing that didn't change. It was always payment date with the exception of the preorder queue (first 7 days after payments opened up). The last category was 1-500 units which the queue started with (but u still had to pay within the first 7 days)

hey we have 6 jupiters in the hosting at KNC and it looks very bad! but where could you get information how fast they´re running.... no Coins mined at all.... had smo on the phone, they couldn´t get us further information?! Jupiter 1 = 172 Gh/s

pls share some informations

I logged into the portal (portal.kncminer.com) with the info they emailed me this morning. I had to call since I didn't get the info prior to calling. The pool they configured the boxes to was incorrect or it appeared to be mining to KNC's address (1D5FhoiuLMJJ43BCMGidwvbKWfr71g1vH9)
I changed the info to my worker on BTCGuild. After you hit save, the settings won't show up immediately. The miner then goes into a "pending" state and comes back in a few minutes. then refreshed and saw my new settings. It appears they are not running the same method as the boxes they sent out. When I change my pool settings things happen immediately on the jupiter I have at home. Looks like KNC build some management portal which is really messing things up for everyone.
12 GH/s! Seriously.. WTF.
People on bitcointalk.org said they are using BeQuiet Silent Wings 140mm and Arctic Cooling Freezer i30/A30.
ARCTIC Freezer A30 already comes with MX-4 thermal compound, which is generally the best carbon compound you can get. The CFM of those 120mm heatsink fans are 74. They could be replaced, but that is generally a high CFM. The 140mm fans are 60 CFM, and likewise that is high CFM, especially at 15 dB level.
I think I might not replace the fans, but I am going to add a bunch of ram heatsinks on the components, including around the heatsink to cover the chip completely. I dont have my miner(s) yet, but i see people reporting that cores shutdown while others stay on. i am not sure what that is about. but i want to keep all the cores on and cool

Dhenson and bargraphics. FYI, I'm having similar problems as you are. I brought up my unit on the semi private pool last night and it briefly hashed at 100GH/s with a 5-10% rejection rate before going to zero.
I know that KNC is working on it, but damn - this is really turning into a shit show for us and for them, if they have to keep compensating us and pulling their hair out to make it work.
Besides the actual problems our choices for monitoring the situation aren't good. If the customers leave the miners set to the knc pool, there is no way for us to monitor hashrate, payouts, rejection rates, etc and we have to trust that knc is doing this - which at this point I don't. If we run it on our own pool, then we can monitor it but we have no way of knowing if knc is paying attention to these units (perhaps through remote cgminer api) so that they'll tend to problems that occur.
I'm really not enjoying the hosted experience at all so far - I hope that the next few days that experience changes dramatically.

try changing the thermal paste on the heatsinks so there is a thin layer instead of it being excessive and squashed out of the heatsink.
No don't do that because KnC said to me that it wasn't allowed to do so! Unless you got explicit permission to do so from them.
Ask Customersupport first Before doing anything, please!

What is the CFM of the fans that kncminer uses?
