Anyone know how to get cached copies/screen grabbed images of the KNC site from back in June/July/August/September. Also any modifications to their order TOS.

They have quite a few archived versions on the wayback machine at http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.kncminer.com .

The problem is the cached copies do not include the flash banner KNC used on their website. I'm specifically looking for the October 15th order banner and the September banner or such.

Do you need images? The newsletters contain all their promises. "Not later than 15th October" promises were made in these two newsletters:

Anyone thought about building a custom case. I was thinking about a better (non-rack) design which is visually appealing to turn the rig into a spouse friendly space heater, internally mount the PSU (and rats nest of cables) and at the same time improve cooling.

ASIC boards are ~5" wide. Optimal airflow would be units side by side in a line. Now put the PSU (on its side) at the end. This would make the case ~24" wide.
..
Still a rough idea at this point but wondered if anyone had considered something like this?

If anyone wants to work out a 3D design that uses elements smaller than 20x20x20 cm (and perhaps square wooden or aluminium booms), Id be happy to try 3D printing it.

Sign me up if that happens.

Thanks for all your efforts on this D&T. This worked perfectly on my dead machine as well.

I switched to ghash.io, and immediately my HW errors dropped below 1.5% on all machines and have stayed there. Bye bye eligius I suppose!
Anyone have a good starting point for the difficulty setting with ghash? I'm at 256 right now.

512 seems to be optimal for 550GH/s

There is a thread here https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/suggestion-for-how-to-choose-a-pool-difficulty-for-miners-274023

In which ckolivas suggests

TL:DR
Set your diff to your worker's hashrate in GH / 1.4

555/1.4 = 396 Difficulty, but not sure if you have to round it up.

Does anyone know where I can buy more thermal blocks of the same size as what is in the November Jupiter that cover the new VRM's? Mine didn't come with any and it performs like an October Jup.

Has it been confirmed that those are actually termal blocks to cool the VRMs?
They look far too thick to be effective, and I have never seen any that thick before when looking to buy pads for GPUs and CPUs myself.
If they were 1mm pads on either side of a bar of aluminium or copper I could understand it, but at that thickness any soft/foam material is more likely to work as an insulator.

I have checked my November Jupiter and it does not have them.
Hashing happily at 657 GH/s presently, pulling 855 Watts from the wall through an EVGA 1000P2 PSU.

My guess, without further info, is that they are packing material used to either aid assembly or to protect the VRMs during assembly operations.
That would mean that somebody forgot to pull them out before shipping. Roll Eyes

Good luck in your search.

I pulled one off, its definitately thermal pad material. I've also measured the temp of the vrm under the thermal pad and the same VRM's with the thermal pad removed and without the pad they are definitely hotter. They are also on every board in the same place in my Nov Jupiter. Maybe some machines needed them and some didn't?

Standard PSU is about 7.5" deep plus you need some room for routing the cables so say 12".

So imagine a wooden box 24" x 12" x 7". The entire front and back would be a grill for improved airflow. The fans includes are pretty crappy so I think by upgrading to some higher airflow (but still low volume) fans one could get rid of the "intake" fans. If needed it should be possible to mount a fan on each side of the heatsink in a push pull config.

Excuse my horrible ASIC art but here is a top view. Front and back are mesh screens. Arrows indicate airflow. PSU intake could be on the side of the case or if case is made larger draw flipped 180 to draw from the inside.

Code:

|---------------------------------|
|   |      |      |      |        |
|   V      V      V      V        |
|[ASIC1][ASIC2][ASIC3][ASIC4][PSU]|  <--

|   V      V      V      V     V  |
|---------------------------------|

I literally came up with this same idea a month back when looking into the KNC design. Makes it more compact/easier to put in places (especially under a couch haha, blow warm air on your feet). I say go for it. If I can ever get more modules, I might. My mercury wouldn't benefit lol

Newark, Digikey Mouser.

For example:
http://canada.newark.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Search?st=thermal+pad&catalogId=15003&categoryId=800000006679&langId=1&storeId=10196

They can ship overnight.

Otherwise a local computer dealer may have the thermal grease or the pads.

Thanks but they are so many options! My head asplode. We know it is 1cm thick I guess...which is 10mm, the largest they carry is 2mm it looks like...

Been looking myself, they are about 1cm thick

Damn I'm going to have to open mine up and put it back. Shocked

Is your Jup performing the same with or without it?

Hard to tell, I think its worse without it, certainly I have one board that seems to get ERROR4 VRM errors which seem to be heat related. Bertmod isn't reporting it to be running any hotter than my October rig and this Eligius pool issue isn't helping with the diagnosis.

Thanks. How do you see the "ERROR4 VRM"?

You should just switch to btc guild.
