Do I see right?

VRMs already running at around 99-100C?

Wtf, this is too much.

It will soon spit an error. Ericsson vrms are very sensitive.

Nice!

Thanks for the pics.

They built an aluminum plate to cool the vrms with extra paste.

That definetely can be over-over clocked.

Cool, thanks.  Good to know I can at least do a little planning.

Elenenene, did you get a tracking number so you knew what day to be home to receive it?



No coincidence (my order number is 1110x, so happened to be the very first.... And I guess I have one of the very first Titans as well, so stay tuned... just acting very fast when something new is released, and living in the same time zone as Sweden).

By the way: Sam didn't listen: the Neptune has only one Power-plug (so I will need to solder one additional on top of it, if I want to OC).

Yes. But Track & Trace on UPS page said in first instance: sent from Sweden Thursday-13:00 expected arrival Monday late afternoon. But when I woke up Friday it said: Friday late afternoon : big surprise came at 11:00
110xx order here... no sign of shipping yet

Strange indeed...  maybe because I'm female ?  Kiss

Hi Elenenene,

can you post the advanced Menu for padrino, please?

I thing he has an idea how he can tweak the neptun. Is it also possible to copy the content of this file, if it exists:

/config/advanced.conf

open ssh and enter this command:

cat /config/advanced.conf

If you want, can you please post it here:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=313978.1080

thanky you very much

I will try (I like to push the clock beyond 500 Mhz to say 575, which would give a 4 Ths machine).

There are probably around 20 orders before you (1108x is the lowest), there are 2 users that I know for sure with lower ones, neither have reported any news so it's a bit strange but congrats on getting the first one and for updating everyone Smiley

whats the consensus on their there being 28nm chips in there?

not that i would put it past them scum but is that even feasible?

When they said Neptomb was 5 boxes and had 5 chips in each box, I was thinking the same thing  Cheesy

Not likely. It takes 18 Jupiter boards to get 3TH and they run at 900Mhz to get to that hashrate. Elenelen said her chips were clocked at 475Mhz...

i got screwed over with super jupiter, i want to do something about it please help

Ah, buyer's remorse. Sorry, but there's nothing you can do. I'm quite satisfied with my FrankenJup. Why do you feel screwed?

 And you are experiencing retrospective rationalization.  Why DONT you feel screwed?
 

I received an assembled FrankenJup and  18 bonus boards. I'm currently running 30 boards and they work just fine although I have them underclocked a bit and getting ~4.5Ths.

Yes, they were a hassle to get working properly and I do have a few bad boards. But I've been hashing with them for a couple months at much lower difficulty than the Neptunes will. I was very disappointed when they announced the bonus Neptunes after I converted my order. But I think I'll still generate more BTC than Neptune customers.

 After seeing the specs on the shipped Neptunes, I am sure you will make out better than the Neptune customers.  You got a lucky break, many customers just got broken crap they have to RMA.



There were some real disasters shipped to buyers, no doubt... boards with missing VRMs and capacitors. But I also think a lot of people received FrankenJups that maybe needed some minor fixes and then would work fine.

I'm certainly no DIYer but I can reseat a heatsink, swap out fans, reflash SD cards and reconnect cables. And that's the extent of my repairs to my FJ.

But of course, that doesn't excuse KNC for engineering such a terribly designed device and packing/shipping them so poorly. They are truly cheap bastards and will do anything to save a penny. For example, I ordered a couple extra controller boards and they refused to ship the IDC ribbon cables with the boards. Kurt said I could buy them at any electronics store.  Right! If you live in Shenzhen maybe.

  No there is no excuse for KNC did to Neptune customers who decided to opt for the early 3TH/s miners.  This is company who openly bragged about closing in on 100million USD in sales by June of this year who is running a datorhall that was raking in 450k USD per day in early spring this year.  They could afford to do better and chose otherwise.

My new worthless prediction (I'm batting .000, lol)...

There is some very compelling evidence that supports this hypothesis. But the most glaringly obvious is the single PCI power connector. They're not so stupid to design it to handle 420w. But they were compelled to squeeze as much hash out of each chip that they threw away common sense.

Remember "under promise, over deliver"? Yeah, not to so much anymore. The new motto... "We deliver dangerous crap because we're cheap bastards."

1 month ago (after I saw the picture of the PCB with only one 6-pin power connector) I wrote an alarming email to Sam directly. Sam replied within one hour, and replied he would discuss the issue with the developers.  
My guess is that they have added a second power-connector (on the opposite side, so you cannot see it on the box photos), or.... they calculated that one connector was still appropriate, which would mean that only 200 to 250 watt is used per PCB.  If this last is the case then they have a rabbit-in-the-hat : one box gives 600 Ghs running 250 Watt gives 0.41 W/Ghs............

But my fear is that they didn't either add a connector nor have a 0.41 W/Gs.....



Huh?

A coincidence?

So obviously Elenelen has a man on the inside, lol.

No sadly not: if I had inside info: I wouldn't have ordered this hardware at all !!
