Serious Question....
I'm wondering about the Neptune PSU situation...maybe will be built in?
is it 220v only, right?
type of plug, etc.... 

i thought they are making it 115v as well, just have to use two diff circuits? god i hope they can get it under 1800 watts so i can run it normally on one plug. realllllly dont want to dick around with the wiring in the house


If you install a 20 amp receptacle you will then have 2550 watts.  But you may need 12 gauge wire behind the walls as well.

hense dedicated 25 amp breaker or 30 I would do 30 myself. 20 would be cutting it to close 2100watts is 17.5 amp then you would have to look at initial surge. 20 is no beuno but close. im sure a lot will push it though.

Ok guys i'm going to hook you up with a couple of firmwares imminently.

But...

But...

(said twice for dramatic effect)

One is for the November box. For the Ericsson VRMs - big yellow stickers, have Ericsson written on them, were delivered in November.

One is for the October box. For the General Electric unbranded silver VRMs. The tuning suite.

Make sure you use the correct one.

It won't kill your device, but it may require you re-flashing the beaglebone via an SSD card if you flash the wrong one.

It future a uniform intelligent release that differentiates between the pair will be available.

Currently this therefore relies on the intelligence of the user, i.e. you.

So...Lips sealed

They should have come with a notice in the box NOT to flash the firmware with it. I'm sure KNC can afford the paper and toner to print these out so the users know beforehand. Unless some people really are telepathic here.


They're labeled pretty clearly on the download page with some red warning text saying not to use the wrong one on your unit.  Do you really need more warning than that?

I may be wrong, but I think they did it after the fact... the guy who almost bricked is new miner want to flash back the 0.99-E and he wasn't able to find it on the support page, I did check my self and there was no sign of "-E" firmaware nor red warnings.


Yeah, he just read "Flash to the latest" went on teh page and did that, however the latest for the Erikson wasn't on the site yet

Well the tuning suite is working out nicely for me.  I had a lot of cores getting turned off.  On the worst module I would see as many as 32 off at a time, with 18 on average.

With some extra voltage I now have all cores working.

I'm curious how far it's safe to push the voltage.  The factory setting is -0.1121V.  On the die I have pushed the hardest I have it set at -0.0981V.

I imagine if I push things further I can reduce HW errors some more.  Currently I'm seeing 4.0033%.

I'm running the cgminer that came with 0.99-tune, not cgminer-tune.

My 6 module Jupiter's are running the fastest I've ever seen with this latest firmware.  Two 850+ and one 900+

Tell you what though, this advanced tuning lark is a bit addictive.  Shocked

The hashing rate on btc guild is too sporadic for me to tell if my tweaks are making a difference or not.

Any successful tips?

anything performance wise?
Well whats interesting is that, if you remember, I kept going back to 0.96 because the newer firmware just kept flapping the cores on and off.

So installed 99-Tuning, left it alone for a while and sure enough flap,flap, cores off all over the place and Avg dropped to 529 and dropping slowly.

Well I found with the tuner that it was mainly ASIC1, Die 1,3&4 that were affected, so I've been tweaking them back to 100% on status, using the individual core voltage control.

Bit hit and miss, I went way too far to start with on the voltage and actually had some cores turn off, but started again with a bit less elbow grease and its beginning to come together.

I'm talking it slow, but I've seen some sustained 630+ Gh/s for quite long periods of time. But the flushwork performance drops, although alot better than they used to be in terms of how long they last, because they drop as far down as 300Gh/s, would keep the average below 600 even if you could maintain it for any length of time.

But its a bit like overclocking cpus, very much up my alley having the tweaking ability like this.

oh and 0.4 of bertmod works with it (except you have to remember the advanced_settings.html URL)
sweet...   !


About an hour ago I noticed that it had stabilized at around 550 and climbing, so I thought now is a good time, I ctrl+a+d out of screen, wget the latest 3.8.2-tuning from ckolivas, got it all setup to run, did screen -r and then q to shutdown the running cgminer and then straight away kicked off ./cgminer -c /config/cgminer.conf

The result? A current stable average of 561.6Gh/s and climbing. Will leave it overnight see whats what in the morning.

ok my #1109x order is paid! finally. i think Phoenix is the only guy i know with an order number earlier than mine!
Hehe... yeah, I had the computer volume on FULL (connected to an 80 watt surround sound) the Page monitor set to watch the order page....  when it chimed, I woke the whole forest...lol, but did indeed spring out of bed(4am) and go DIRECTLY to purchasing, WITHOUT even reading the specs!......   glad I did... Smiley

can I send you 25 btc, so that you can order for me, too. Grin Grin

No, just kidding. Roll Eyes


Call me by the phone, see your pm

comp'd free boards for 'obvious reasons'   edit.(As time goes by the reasons will become more and more obvious...)

WAY too smug to have EVER been in the same boat as anyone!!

shhh..... thats a secret!!

Lets see if im really on 'ignore' or if its more, mere made up crap.
