And while we wait 6 months for the 20nm to land, the KnC mining farm is steadily increasing in hash power with 100% of the freshly made 28nm chips!

Remember - they loosley promised not to SELL any more batches until Neptune! Didn't say anything about mining themselves!

Fair play to the guys - they deserve the riches they most certainly are now amassing. They did a fantastic job with the 28nm

My boards run ice cold. I've got a proper environment for them. I actually had to block off all cooling to bring the board temps up into the 50c-70c range. Right now my asics are at 27, 35, 38, 22c.  Bitcoinorama specifically said we would need 1200w power supplies, that is a lot of potential capacity.

rama where are you hiding!

RE: PSU, Easier for KnC to spend customer money than their own.
RE:hash power, likely now limited by cooling. (lack of)

YMMV

They haven't been selling Jupiters for weeks. That's why people are paying 25K for them on ebay!

Yes.

has knc stopped selling Jupiters ?

can only find link to Neptunes

truth is if you are running 2 220v lines for your 2 neptunes you probably (unless central air and some new creative "duct work" to the asic room) you probably will need a pretty heavy duty a/c unit if window sized ..you guessed it 220v...so figure on 3 lines 220 for this to work imho

my 2c worth ( i suppose I could go to a gas stove and dryer and pull this off but with 100amps er...maybe not..have a brother with comercial space 12 miles away will prob go that route)

anyway my 2c worth

I know it's against tradition, but I've got another question that actually has something to do with a KNC miner!  Bertmod says that I'm only using 660 watts at the current levels. I haven't bothered to plug into my kill a watt yet, but why did I have to buy these 1300w power supplies again? Is there a whole lot more hash power available in these boxes?

They are shipping by date of payment, not order number!

Slush hashrate up and return on blocks has dropped.  I'd say they're out and mining.

Looks like the pool gods heard you.  Slow block turnover on Slush.

What?

Neptune units for order are down to there are only 980/1500

Ok I can finally post! I've been lurking for a long time, gpu mining a year ago small scale. I just got one of the november jupiters I ordered and it fired right up working great. Avg hash rate in the interface is 660, but I'm getting an average of 10% hw errors. Seems way too high. I've been playing around with making the unit warmer (ambient temp is around 40) but all that did was cause a few of the vrms to have a "fault 4". Max temp on two of the asics was 70c. After resetting the machine and removing the covers that were keeping airflow down, it is still averaging 650-660 with 10% errors. There are only a few cores that get turned off and on occasionally. Never more than 15 cores off total across all the boards. Avg hashrate at my pool is showing near 600, which would be right for 660 - 10%.

Any ideas what I can do to improve it? Do I just need to wait for the knc tuning fw to be released for the Nov units?
Thanks!

BTW. After reading this board for a long time, and wading through all the bickering nonsense that trolls keep saying in this thread, KNC is obviously the only company doing the job right. I waited a long time to get involved in ASICs, but came close to ordering from BFL a few times. I'm glad I didn't. Maybe I would have received a unit by now, but it would be 50gh for about what I spent on each 660 gh jupiter. Cointerra is still a bust, hashfast is still a bust. Why don't the trolls and kids just get out of this thread and get a life  I thought I'd be getting 450-500 gh miners when I ordered them less than a month ago, instead I get 660 and it is a complete unit that fired up in less than five minutes after UPS came.  I'm thinking about selling one of these to purchase a Neptune (or two) because I have a strong feeling that KNC will deliver those on time in a few months, with a lot more power than advertised.

My orders started  in the 9900s, and started arriving today, tracking numbers received monday.

WTF?  102XX and nothing.  I guess they are just shipping them out at random?

If you had $36k to spend on hardware for 4-6 months away you surely can get an electrician and throw some new lines in your home for you. People need to remember if they live in an area where it gets hot in the summer months it could be a big battle to keep things cool. Throwing just fans on it isn't going to cut it. Installing AC units also cost a fortune and eat electricity big time.

I have stated this before....but i wonder if knc doesn't delay shipping or hold back some depending on the state of difficulty....i think they do try to look out for the network in general but maybe not.

1.42-1.44 is the best part 

Mine was getting 680gh when I got it. Then the psu got switched off, now it runs at 600-640gh. Anyone else run into the same issue?
