Clueless!
Held my faith in KnC for a long time when others doubted them; turns out the others were right! I have requested refund for upwards of a dozen solid reasons including "fire hazard" and "Q1/Q2 means end of March"... even once they twist it around they cant claim it means Q3.

If refund is not honored promptly then it's time to get legal. If it goes that far then I will be claiming against them for cost of PSU and preparation time also.

Most of the suggestions for litigation against KnC are invalid because Neptune was not sold as a consumer product; they will also dodge safety concerns because they are only selling 12v hardware (way short of 50v legislation). However, they can't argue that dispatch in Q3 is meeting their obligations; they will try to argue that HWYW constitutes meeting their (already twisted) delivery timescale but if this means giving up 2nd machine then they fall wildly short on "under promise and over deliver" which was stated by KnC *everywhere*.

Who's with me?

I honestly wish you the best of luck..but it may take awhile to get any $$$....BFL has been playing this game since dec 2012 deadlines missed..and have suffered NO consequences..and still is selling 10gh on site/tigerdirect/walmart  jally for 295 usd where you can now get an antminer S3 for .75 btc (about? 420 bucks?) 505gh

so BFL goes after Newbies with no refunds..KNC now seems on the same path

again good luck too me 1 yr and 20 days to get BFL refund of 8.5k but that was due mostly to luck and likely a very small window of time (which may already be past)

you may be better off just trying to find out your status of your unit and if soon shipping sell the beastie on ebay to get ROI back

me I know zip ..i xfered my neptune CA to a Titan 2 weeks before KNC seemed to decide to go to the 'dark side' (my luck was way bad on that choice likely)

I may be in your boat in a month or two

Yes Jamal, I wouldn't touch that accept button with yours. 2nd Neptune was added to my order free of charge; when it was announced there was nothing about accepting additional terms for it or that it was for late delivery. It is a totally separate issue and it was clearly stated that it was due to the rapid increase in difficulty.

Somebody PM'ed me asking for pics of how I soldered a second connector. Well, I don't have any but here is how it looks from the outside. Basically I bought PCI-e splitters from eBay and sacrificed them for the female receptacles. I used 14 AWG black and yellow wires and soldered those to the bottom of board under the location of the original connector.



Soros,   Thanks for the pictures.  I went ahead and ordered 16 gauge custom connectors from Mundi @
http://www.icemodz.com  (yes he accepts crypto)
Mundi was really helpful and quick to get my order out and look forward to receiving it.   Maybe if someone is interested I can keep you posted how it goes as soon as the Nepper arrives.    Hopefully today or tomorrow.  (kneeling down praying)       So let me know if anyone interested, and I may post some pics of Mundi's work also.   

ordered form http://www.icemodz.com:
quantity:  6
6 pin connectors

Has anyone done the math to figure out if the 2-for-1 offer is better with a Neptune or a Titan?  I'm worried that my house can't (easily) meet the power requirements for 4 neptunes (2 ordered + 2 free).  Can the Titan provide a similar ROI with less power requirement?
at this point, It looks that way to me.

I ended up having to hook up a few Neppies in Maui, but have to wait on the middle of batch one in case anyone is wondering why the hell Phoenix is still here.
Thought I was done... I was wrong.  Wink

What are the fans used in Neptunes (Brand & Model) ?

Someone earlier in this thread said these fans:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835345069

I havent taken one apart yet so I don't know for sure.  There are a few different fan models that look like that though.
That's a lot of CFM already.

Yeah but my VRMs are getting pretty hot.  Some up to 110.
