Is anyone using Seasonic X1250W supplies for their November Jupiters? I found that after about a minute after bootup (when the Jupiter is about to start hashing), the PSU shuts down. I let the PSU reset itself (takes several minutes), try again, same results. Consistent and repeatable. I tried 2 separate X1250's and 2 separate November Jupiters with the same result.

Obviously 1250W should be plenty, and the Seasonic is a high-quality supply, so I'm not sure what is causing the shutdowns.

I had some Corsair AX860's kicking around so I tried those. They work well and I haven't had any trouble after 24 hours now.

Did you use a high quality paperclip?

Sorry guys, I'm completely new to bitcoins and mining. You wanna make me feel stupid, go ahead if it makes you feel better.

Wasn't trying to do that mate, but it says on the Neptune product page when they expect to ship. If you're looking to buy KNC equipment and have it within days, check ebay.com  and the merchant section here, but the prices will be staggering.

PSU: OCZ ZX 1250W. Found the Jupiter shut down. Tried to start it and nothing happened. Removed cables, put them back and poof fireworks. Waiting for my RMA.

Hashing with 3 boards and not whining.

wht temps you have before this happened?

why so much with psu 1200 watt
burn

maybe final the correct psu is 1000w and not more?Huh Roll Eyes Roll Eyes Roll Eyes Roll Eyes Roll Eyes Roll Eyes
PSU size doesn't matter as long as it is > then power input of Jupiter your rig.

Anyone have any idea why all my Jupiters change their IP addresses even though they are setup for static.
I set them all like this and a few hours later a random miner get a different IP, I change it back, then another miner gets a different IP and so on.

No idea but you may want to look into DHCP reservation as a work around.  Most routers support it and honestly once you get it down you will never go to static IP addresses again.  Many enterprise grade networks use it because it simplifies management.

Set all the Jupiters to use DHCP and then in your router there should be a section on DHCP reservation.  In the router you assign a particular network device (PC, mining rigs, printers, etc) a particular IP address.  

So the jupiter boots up contacts the router (DHCP server) and always get the same IP address assigned by DHCP.  The nice thing is all the config is done in the router so the device only needs to support DHCP.

Excellent info DT

DHCP reservations use the MAC (or "hardware") address of the device that needs the reservation, this should be displayed as part of the DHCP assignments, depending on the dhcp server you are running.

Think it's time, with boards going up in flames again, for another STOP, DROP AND ROLL!! Save your eyebrows knc'ers!


As a special bonus, KNC now shipping free with each Jupiter:

Been there, not far from it now. Take it with a grain of salt. This place can get pretty vicious, but read between the vitriol and there are some incredibly talented and smart people here. I've learned a hell of a lot just reading. And stepping on my dick from time to time Smiley Welcome to the Brave New World of Bitcoin.

I'm a noob here so bear with me I have a static IP but I simply checked the DHCP box and my router is also setup as such and viola..all I know just tossing it out there...anyway ie that was my noob solution to this ..er also my router allows me to lock an IP like the  192.1xx.x.106 etc to my miner also have a standard dlink dir-615 cheap unit with built in wireless...anyway was my noob solution

Exactly.  That is DHCP reservation.  From the miners point of view it is getting assigned a "dynamic" IP address so it boots up and asks the router "what is my IP address" however the router has been configured to always give the same IP address (in this case 192.168.0.106) to only that device.

I have it and it works, but the only problem is the DHCP server gives random IP addresses that I can reserve.
I want to specify the IP addresses myself - 101, 102, 103, 104, 105 and 106 as in 192.168.1.101

DHCP isn't the same thing as DHCP reservation.  It sounds like you are just describing DHCP.  With reservation you could indeed set in the router to reserve:
192.168.101 to rig #1
192.168.102 to rig #2
...
192.168.106 to rig #6

the router will never assign any other IP address to those devices and will never assign those reserved IP addresses to any other device.

Most routers today support DHCP reservation although they may use a different name.  Look for a webpage where you can assign specific ip addresses to specific devices based on their host name and mac address.

Is there anything I can do to get these cores to work? On board 3 none of the cores work, and on board 2 about 24 out of the 192 cores seem to stay off.

I just got the miner today and when I initially started it up the hashrate climbed up to about 660/670, but later i checked and noticed it was running at about 480GH/s.

https://i.imgur.com/OipHElT.png

I also have the same issue. 2 Nov Jupiters, both have their own 1200w PSU.
Both started off at 660+ GH but after 12 hours one unit is at 500GH with all cores disabled on one ASIC board
Tried hard reset, checked connections

Has anybody managed to salvage such a board ?
Thanks

eligius have problems witch kncminer

Eligius had some problems lately but i don't think it is only related to knc hw

I personally left Eligius once I learned Luke Jr. used the pool (and thus my hashpower) to execute a 51% attack to destroy an altcoin without my knowledge. I also came across some pretty religiously intolerant posts he made and learned he includes religious text in the blocks Eligius finds which made it easy to switch as well...
Odd....  It was my understanding Wizkid is Eligius, and Luke JR. is Slush.....  am I Mistaken?

Yes. Wizkid runs eligius, Luke-jr wrote the underying software (eloi) Slush is a different guy altogether. That much I'm sure of. I think Luke is also heavily involved in running eligius, but that's speculation.  (I lurked for a long time before I registered Tongue )

says 117 neptunes still available.


How come they aren't shipping them out ASAP? Still waiting for parts?

Because the ASCIs (IC Chips) are not yet designed.

So yes -- waiting for parts would be a gentle way of saying it.  Grin
