Lets see if anyone else has issues. I was able to upgrade from many different versions include Kncminer official 2.0 and V.98 . Both went flawless.

GenTarkin that's how I think about it too, HOWEVER I have seen when the thermal paste is applied incorrectly then gets a bad temp reading and when fixed it improves the reading on vrms?? why I don't know, since they are physically separate
maybe the temp reported in dc/dc is an avg of 2 temp sensors, 1 on the chip the other on vrm?? so replacing thermal paste and applying heatsinks to vrm will both improve the temp readings??

Ok so ive mapped the die locations. see pic. The readings to the far right of the screen are the temps for the dies and NOT the vrms. There are no temps for the vrms.
I turned off all the dies except 2 dies at a time. I then use my thermal laser gun to find the only hot spot on the plate, that told me where the dies where. Anyway here you go:

That makes no sense. The board is clearly not laid out that way. It has 4 dies & 2 VRM's per die.
It would be extremely odd if each die had 2 internal temp sensors. It makes more sense that each VRM has a temp sensor.
After looking at the docs for those DCDC's, they do have internal temperature monitors and they are read over pmbus. Im almost certain this is the data thats polled for DCDC temp's we see in webgui.
UPDATE, small error found in previous v.99 upgrade. For anyone that has updated so far, please reapply the .bin found here:
https://github.com/GenTarkin/Titan/releases/tag/v.99
BTW, as of now the enable / disable lighttpd option under SYSTEM tab works =)

Can I refresh a page or smth?
It should only take a good 5mins or so... Not 2 hrs unless ur inet is shit or your SD card is dead or ur inet is crap to the pi. If its hanging there that means apt-get is failing to sync & download wget. =(
If thats happening to a lot of installs, I may have to rethink the whole upgrade process.
All I can say is hit browser back button and try upgrading w/ the .bin file again.
umm.. ok.. and back to our regularly scheduled program.... So Ill try a few other things today and post my findings.

So everyone here is happy that they used peoples funds to fund their own server farms making your hardware next to useless then!
And all you who got 'cheap' off ebay say i didn't get ripped off. NO! you just support a company that is rougue and on the misery of others!
Your ALL SCUM! And this is why you fucktards will fall for this XT BUllshit. How hard is it start nodes for XT to get 75%. Especially wwhen your in bed with the BTC Foundation scum bags!
While someone who gets it like Amir Taki gets shunned! Fucking dumbed down sheep, ALL OF YOU!

Ohh ya, in case I wasnt clear, I will be removing the center plate to examine the cores from a mostly working cube today. Has .8v on dies 0 and 1. Will any of this void my warranty? LOL
Update: Center plate removed. This was from a from a cube that had .8v on die 0 and 1. As you can see what WAS thermal grease is now just dried dust. So the question on everyones mind is: What will happen, if I clean and regrease the cores? Give me some time and Ill let you know, today. Do NOT attempt this!!! WAIT for the video! There are MANY wrong ways to do this and 1 right way. Do it wrong and you have a dead cube!!
Vegas
Update: cleaned and regreased cores. Did NOT fix the .8v dies.
So what this looks like is that core is permanently damaged, due to overheating. I have one last thing I want to try to bring that core back to life. Ill report back soon. There IS a silver lining, it DID reduce the temps on the working cores to the very low 50c, and some dies were even in the high 40c .
Temps after regrease of cores and all my mods applied.
They were, sort of - depends very much on who you ask and their personal experiences. Suffice to say there were enough with a bad personal experience, mostly in problems with hardware, that eventually they got a (justifiably) bad rep and their response instead of addressing the issues has largely been to just ditch this forum and eventually even ditched their own forum; not exactly exemplary of paying attention to the community, including paying customers.
While I disagree with how they've been operating, it's their business and as long as people who feel they were wronged aren't taking legal action (the cases that are supposedly ongoing are ongoing like snails - though that's the legal system for you) and they are still somewhat forthcoming to customers (somebody needed a file recently, they asked and received, iirc), and are continuing their business even in modified form, they're already better than BFL. Admittedly not the most favorable of yardsticks to be measured against.

Yeah, that´s why BITMAIN has more or less the monopol on SHA-256 ASIC
Yes, Ive ordered LOADS of miners from Bitmain, and they are awesome!! Never an issue!!

is there a chance that KNC comes up with a affordable miner for home miners
There's always a chance. It's just highly unlikely given how they've burned consumers, have issued news releases indicating that they've moved away from physical sales and are transitioning away even from cloud mining contracts, and the general headache they would be returning to if they did.Ok thanks, it seems KNC was a legit company....
A legit company?!?

Hy Guys,
is there a chance that KNC comes up with a affordable miner for home miners since bitmain launched their Antminer S7?
Kind regards,

A guide on how to easily get the temperature down on a KNC Miner Titan's Cube in under 30 minutes.
The guy talking swedish, of according to him, The Cube will run 15C degrees cooler
Interestingly, with the modification that he does on the dc / dc converter
Maybe this isn't news for you guys, but I want to share it with you
Sorry for my bad english (Im from Sweden)

Woow vegas thank you good work!!!Do you think there is a way to do the same with dcdc modules to assign them with each dies? 
Thanks frenchy. I saw that. It doesnt say anything about the surface mount resistor size. Ive ordered that professional desoldering tool , the Hakko FR-300 because I feel strongly that I can remove the entire vrm and replace. So that tool should be in in the next few days. IF I can remove the vrms, this will help fix alot of our problems, AND we might be able to upgrade to the 50A version of the vrms THAT would solve LOADS of problems!

did you try it with 1000uf??
google says: sometimes a higher uf is acceptable, but not always ... depends on the circuit :| isn't 1000uf to 1500uf a pretty big jump?
google says: sometimes a higher uf is acceptable, but not always ... depends on the circuit :| isn't 1000uf to 1500uf a pretty big jump?
Google is correct. We can make circuits for noise reduction and for another purposes. So if this is noise reduction purpose then there will be the lower limit for capacitor NOT LESS, but if it is some oscillating circuit then higher capacitor will change the frequency or amplitude.. this was our hand book
http://users.physics.harvard.edu/~horowitz/aoe/I'd try a 1000uf, afterall we are troubleshooting, have to see what works and doesn't
here's the pic of the spreader removed
http://s18.postimg.org/py0qzeio7/1_kch2zw_Ak_GWOPBBu2o_Sg_OEg.png
looks like he used that little precision screwdriver to pry on the upper left corner, I am not saying to try it, just showing you the picture -- I've wanted to look under there myself but don't want to risk losing a good board
and I guess that's not a Titan board, maybe a Neptune??
Ok this is a Neptune board. The BTC logo tells me that. Only Neptunes have the BTC logo on them. I was trying to find which cores include die 0 and 1, as there are 2 dies per core. Die 0 and die 1 are by far the most troublesome, and seem to always fail. I THINK its the core on the top left corner. Can anyone confirm this? Anyone else notice in this pic that the top left core is the only one that does not have thermal grease on it? I suppose the tech could have cleaned it, but then why just clean one? Is it possible there is a fault in the design where the plate does not meet the core on the top left , which I think is contains die 0 and 1? I think the tech in this pic is showing a major fault in design, that is the reason for this pic (im guessing) .This would explain a WHOLE lot! Guys im not suggesting to remove your plates, and there is a strong possibility it will damage your cores.
Vegas
OK don't laugh but on this thread someplace someone said that they could not get an RMA on a cube of some kind (think it was a Titan but maybe not) from KNC because they
simply told him to TIGHTEN THE SCREWS down on the plate thingy (hey be careful this is 20/20 hindsight remembering here) he was like wtf? i just remember because it was such
a lame way not to do his RMA
but anyway that would go along your idea above I guess?
(don't try this just tossing it out as a clue to how this stuff hangs together in case it is important for another solution)Yeah i remember that person a few months back. If one is not keen to rma; due to costs. Generous repasting is the way to fix some issues of dies shutting down. The copper pipes are machined but what they have done is leave a small plate on there and machined it also. Thus resulting in an uneven finnish in some/most cases.
Also, i found taking off the foam from the sides because even with the screws tightened down the whole heatsink shifts extremely easy. So putting the cover back on puts pressure on that foam and moves the heatsink. The suggestion was to tighten the screws and possibly add a washer to get more leverage. (that does not void the warranty) Repasting does i think but its $24 for paste vs $200+ to RMA.
I have burnt vrm moduals on some of mine so i am not sure what to do there i do not have a de-solderer.
