What happend with the updates of firmware to the titan from KNC? Did they just turned their back on us? They promised higher hashrate with firmware updates.
They can't be happy with the result of the Titan, when you look at miningrigsrentals, there hardly any titans with the same speed.
But I guess they fucked us over after the lawsuit against them, like they did before we received the miners in the beginning.

I am eventually gonna send you some btc but for right now I am unsure due to the fact that even you you fixed the firmware to ignore DEAD dies and your other
adv page and I also like the temp tweaks......options) ie you will get some btc if even if i never use your mods just for the pleasure of watching you try and succeed
but anyway am still stalling installing it for now (away from home a lot over time this month)
my question is how do you handle the soft asic resets where it comes up 1a NONCE received whatever the msg is ..and eventually it fixes its self promptly after
maybe saying the same message in 4 lines like 1a 1b 4c 2d or whatever?
I already have 2 dead dies on a cube each on the 2 port controller on the 2nd Titan ....so constant reboot for this sorta soft asic issue is not needed
anyway anyone have these pop up and the firmware shrugs it off without issue? just kinda staying behind the pack of folk here in that I will use this 2 cube unit vs the
6 cube other unit to test and with these issues as my testing of such but the two cube unit has these issues
1) 1 die dead and set to off on each cube
2) my temps are high on the vrms can go above 85c seen as high as 90c and it still hashes (one hot cube)
3) the soft asic resets or whatever they are called above ..how does your firmware handle such
lots of dorky stuff and constant reboots are probably not too good if issues using this as the test unit of the firmware
so braver folk then me anything above an issue or is all golden? or don't ya know quite yet?
If i get a weekend off and can watch the unit I may toss this up just to see what goes boom but maybe others know more already?
(we also serve who quiver in fear with the woman folk in the rear during the battle ..much nicer and more cozy)

Instead of turning an overheated die OFF, how about just bump the MHz down a notch, say from 325 to 300, no need to turn them off
we have some 100 degree days coming up and I will likely have to bump them down manually
I haven't tried your firmware yet but likely will
thx for your efforts

UPDATE:
New release v.92
Ability to set DCDC temp threshold on/off & temperature via webgui.
NOTE: due to having extremely minimalistic webpage coding skills... the values shown on page DO NOT reflect current settings.
Its ok to update DCDC settings as many times as needed, the BFGminer is not restarted or interrupted.
Need to refresh ur advanced settings page for it to show =)

I think that firmware is worst than original 2.00 knc firmware

What?
well if its official the selling ima posible small asic sha256 scrypt buyer of this things...
this is a dumb question..i know zip about such things..but can you put some kinda heatsink (assuming you can find some that fit) on the vrms...or is that just silly? (likely)
The problem is getting an exact fit between the heatsink and the vrms, then you risk crushing the vrms as they are ceramic. With that soft thermal pad, its gentle, and when you tighten the heatsink its soft and spongy.
If you are having problems with VRM temps I used these on my Jupiters when they were overclocked and they are a perfect fit (and cheap), haven't needed them on the neptune or titan myself.

Thank you Ill send more BTC in the next day or two. Guys if you want this quality of work to continue, youll have to send some BTC also, nobody works for free.

Thanks man! Vegas

That was something we were considering , but after looking everything over, its a really bad idea. Im sure Tarkin will remove that option in the next release.
@GenTarkin. The biggest threat to these miners is the temp of the VRM. I think the critical temp of the vrm is around 85C. Can you put a switch in that will shut down the die @85C , that we can choose to have this active or not, or even better have a drop down to choose the shutoff temp, and a switch to activate or not. I can send more btc if you can do this. This prevents permanent damage to the VRM, thats what overheats, NOT the processors or dies.

UPDATE: have a working VRM checker. It basically disables the die whos VRM is over 85. It simply turns it to OFF in webgui and restarts bfgminer. The die can of course be turned back on by selecting a freqency in webgui and reapplying settings.
Controlling it via webgui is probably not gonna be an option at least for now. I have no idea how that portion of the webgui code works lol.
Will post when its ready for download =)
The VRMs enter thermal shutdown at 120C to protect themselves, anything over about 105C is getting sketchy but under that things will make it..
Note donations would be greatly appreciated =)
I still have yet to be paid in full for the .5btc bounty =/

Hrm.... that may be way beyond me unless theres an example already in the code that I can modify =) but Ill look into it.

I install firmware
Had option for 350 MHz
But I think that option does not work
Why?
?

? Out of interest does anyone else have a die that only half works like this....
What happens is when bfgminer starts, it says the die is configured successfully, 0 shows around 4 amps and 1 shows around 42 amps. There are no error messages regarding this die but after about 5 minutes it reports that it is configured successfully again, and the amps go to what is in the screenshot.
It's been like this since I got it, have tried voltage and speed tweaks so don't think there is any hope for it, was just curious.

yeah when messing about with my die(s) (1 die dead in two cubes) I get that once in awhile...never can get them both back thus why the 2 dies on 2 cubes
are set to OFF
as I've said before if I power down my unit say 7 times to tweak like I did to set a couple dies down from 325 to 300 on adv page due to heat (summer) and
got a cube 10c on the adv page die temps down as a result
with the constant power downs in those 7 power downs and up etc..... 2x I had dies on OTHER cubes come up as dead so again re-power and the 6th time
before reboot I lost a whole cube....so when all worked the 7th time my ambition for further tweaking to play with the previous back in the day dies that were
set to OFF was less then enthusiastic to say the least
would be nice to get a 'former' tech from knc on here see what they do/did to get stuff back up ..but I suppose he (thou no longer employed) signed a NDA.
Why to used that .
.it is the only way you can do the FULL img to a NEW SD card (i use Sandisk 8gb class 10 SD's)
only way I play with stuff new SD just follow the instructions should still be on the www.kncminer.com page
and of course the instructions for the tweak on here for the new stuff you hopefully have downloaded
