Sorry guys, I'm completely new to bitcoins and mining. You wanna make me feel stupid, go ahead if it makes you feel better.
These forums are not for the faint of heart. Neptunes are about sold out for pre-orders and they could ship anywhere from Jan-June since they specified a Q1/Q2 ship date. They have finished shipping the November Jupiters and Saturns. If you want to order a Neptune I'd do it now and pay by bitcoin. Bank transfers have been problematic as of late. Not sure why.

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.

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

try change pool
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?

Uh, they're not even built yet? They're like 2 months away from that.

Another thing - Wish KNC had Saturday delivery available/readily offered. I know it's an extra 15$ for UPS Saturday Delivery, but 2 days of extra hashing is definitely worth it.
That's a VERY good point.

+1

All three of my Jupiters could have been delivered on a Saturday instead of Monday. That's a lot of lost hashes Tongue

I also have two Jupiters that arrived on Monday, and would have gladly payed the extra $30 for Saturday delivery.

Do you have a UPS account?

Maybe you can rework the delivery.

I do - I've chatted and called UPS, they cite that unless the shipper, shipped it as Saturday delivery,  they could only release the package from the local hub on Monday.

That's a lot of lost hashes for individuals.

I'll talk to my UPS contact to see if anything can be done, but it's unlikely. This is an rma for a rma (2/6 rma'd chips had die 0 issue)

Hopefully they'll take the feedback and provide superior service next generation.  (Orama!!) Smiley

Anyone have any problems running the Nov. jupiters from EVGA G2 1300w? I had 2 shut off last night for no discernible reason, except that they both use the same EVGA psu. I have 4 other jupiters using the same PSU... so don't understand.

I have two Nov. Jupiters both using the EVGA G2 1300w power supply, and have had one random shutdown thus far. I have no idea why it occurred, but moved some power supply cables around just in case that had something to do with it.

Another blown cap, was from the one that was having trouble on the EVGA, so I swapped to a tested and working OCZ 1250W gold, and poof.

:boom:

Seems to be a common failure.  Anyone know the specs on those caps?  Should be pretty easy to change if one knew what to order as a replacement.

It looks like ordinary bulk capacitors (KNC's derating policy is very optimistic - if you could blow them up with a bit over-voltage).
I do not believe the capacity is critical (if they are bulks), just be sure to use 25V volt rating (or higher) so they don't blow up again.
