@Phoenix

It's a bit overdue but thanks for the EUREKA moment.  I always noticed my miners dropping over night but never could figure out why.  I spent a lot of brain power trying to get the temps down, never even dreamed of going the other way.  After reading your post i reverted back to closed case, window closed and set it to run for 12 hours.  All 3 jupiters improved 20-40 Gh/s.  I've repeated this enough times to believe it's not a coincidence.  For anyone receiving new miners, it's definitely worth a try to run them in the 60s.

Right on... Thanks. You made Ewik happy he helped someone... awesome!

What kind of 24 Hour Earnings are you guys getting on BTCGuild?  Mining calculators say I should be getting ~1.3 btc/day with my 2 Jupiters, ~1Th.  BTCGuild is posting around 1.18.  What's the deal with that?  Using PPLNS.

Recent bad luck... seems to be network wide the past 24 hours or so.

Yup, slush was awful yesterday and Eligus worse today. Slush seems much better now though. Annoying after all this waiting and messing about lol

hmmm....in regards to slush..I'm supposedly (when I left home at work) running 555gh on .95 from my ssh window  ...but on slush ...here at work I'm seeing slush at 536.8 consistent..I'm still running .95 so I'm sure some of that diff is just some slop in .95 from what I can tell from the people with upgrades and such..I think I read that .95 may show gh a bit high how much not sure?


so is this a normal variance between a pool (admittedly I'm running .95 so my hash may show a bit higher then it actually is) and what miner says?

I would like to upgrade to .98 ....but from what I see on here ....555gh from the miner/ssh page....5.6% error (using correct formula) adn a 7690wu? (if I remember right)....on .95....I probably should just leave it alone ....bout as good as I can get....

sorry if you've heard this song from me before...unless I'm missing something like .95 is way too high and I'm really probably getting 535gh or some such and/or there should not be that big a gap (even with diff on gh of running .95) and what i'm getting on slush?

anyway I appreciate your input/comments (we who sit on our hands from .95 stock systems salute you!.....time to repaint yellow stripe down back!)

What the hell is this crap.

Tried out 0.98 a few hours. I had a decrease of performance 281GH/s to 260GH/s.
Back to 0.97.

It seems that miners that are working well with previous firmware don't work well with 0.98.
And miners that are not working with previous firmware work well with 0.98.

huh, first I heard that... I'd have said 0.98 is a stellar success...

dang it ...much like my life...I connected my Jupiter and infected you all!!!

(i'm always a*ss backwards from everyone else and last to get the memo.so it .figures)

by the by got an email that my 1 item I did keep and not upgrade to the monarchs (I know I know monarchs are pipe dream but considering I only had jallys and a 30g.... well punted....with bfl's refund policy and them being bricks and all)...anyway....I ordered it in April BEFORE KNC EXISTED AS A COMPANY and it will arrive 2 weeks later then my Jupiter did....

see how now  my above comment on everything backwards in my life makes sense don't it?

Variance. Just because a calculator says you should be getting say 2 bitcoins a day (in theory), doesn't mean you will be able to actually earn 2 bitcoins a day in reality. It all depends on luck of the pool, your hashing speed (stable, unstable, stale, dupes), size of the pool, number of miners in the pool, fees, payment type.... a whole lot of other factors.

I'm back up to 1.3/day now.  cool

So I applied .98 about an hour ago. Took my machine a little to warm up to it, but now my Mercury is hashing just over 100 at 110, highest of 126. Time to see if it stays in this range. Seems to jump up and down quite a bit, I'm guessing this is normal? How stable are these machines suppose to be?

This whole afternoon before applying the patch, it was going up and down from 80g to 100g every two hours it seemed. Seemed to peak, then drop, peak, then drop slowly over that time period, odd.

Comments?

Extremely happy with 0.98 on all 3 Jupiters, no variance between them at all and the pool rate has rocketed up to same as CGminer.

Same experience here, my very best jupiter was averaging about 540GH/s on factory installed 0.95
On upgrade to 0.98 the hashrate dropped by over 100GH/s and WU by 2000
I then ran enablecores and restarted

Apologies if it's been asked before. But any method to fix the error below? Everything seems to be running fine but I don't see stats.

On the mining page in the webui of your miner, make sure the 'CGMiner API Enabled' checkbox is checked.

behind the times here also on .95 is enable cores an option in the newer drivers etc.....or sep program?

thanks

still fence sitting on .95

That's now checked, didn't seem to change anything though, is there another step? I've cleared cache etc on the browser...

yes, you have to restart cgminer in order to apply the config modifications

Mine sat at 136 then at 140 when I went to .97 and has been on 141 to 144 ave on .97 so far...on the pool and on the miner software. The only other stats were that short term Eligus BS which was wildly over and under that. Oh and running at 38C max.

Hey there we go, thanks! *feeling a bit silly right now though *

Hmmm, I'm getting basically 100G, 106 if I'm lucky at the moment, highest was 126 for a very short while.  It's running better than it was on any other firmware so I'm not wanting to change it just yet... Was hoping I could get a bit closer to 130 though...

[FiatKiller]

Ok, left bags covering most of the heatsinks overnight and stats are still better. The temp sensor must be in the chip because otherwise how would I have shown it being hotter with an open case? Edit: used an IR temp sensor and highest temp I can find anywhere is 130F, so even though the temp sensor may not be in the chip, I am still below the temp of 70C that many are finding ideal. 130F is only 55C. So this method is only if your unit is in a cold basement like mine.

A little off topic light relief. Someone with luck lol
