yep, nothin' beats massive airflow,
and the BBB is in a deadzone

Wish I had better access to it so I could put an IR meter to use.  I have some stick-on heatsinks left over from USB BEs.

From this side of the BBB, the highest temp is 87°F a bit to the right of center.

I see the 0.96 isn't available in News yet.

It's been there since yesterday.

WTF

All
The factory produced 280 boxes yesterday. This was the result of a few failures which have now been addressed
We will be back to full production on monday and expect to get back to shipping over 400 a day from monday onwards
 
We will keep you updated as we finsih our queue in the next few days

Hold on a second i thought they said they were open on the weekends.....

You are a liar, you have no damn sources, you haven't a bloody clue where in Sweden the facility is.

Fact - Factory is open weekends - the damn Asics were delivered on a Sunday by Johan on a commercial flight, and DHL with a hand courier. 24 hours later the first prototype at full speed was filmed working.

Fact - the factory does not close at 10pm or we wouldn't have spent several days in there 24 hours around the clock.

Fact - you talk out of your arse, and when called upon started your own self-moderated thread bashing KnC for all their hard work and delete comments you don't agree with.

Fun with you has to stop now. Ciao.

So why do we have to wait till monday?

 Same reason when on the 9th bitcoinroma claimed there were only 1000 units that needed to be shipped, but the have shipped over 1k units already just shown in the shipping updates,  and they said starting Monday they will be up to 400 plus again shipping, someone lies out there teeth is why

Got my July 1st order today. Both fans had come off the heatsink, but no biggie.

Setup is pretty damn easy. Changed the password, ip address, etc. no problem.

Upgraded to 0.96 firmware and it initially said 0.95, so I did it again and it was
correct. Maybe you can only jump to a certain version at a time.

Using 315 watts including a network switch and fan. I took the case off and used
it at 90 degrees upside down as a base to allow the main case to cool underneath.

No other mods done yet. Temps read max 100F near bottom of heatsinks. It's
in my cool basement.

[Phoenix1969]

nice, congrats FiatKiller...

yeah, the update to the miner works right away, but the GUI update lags a tad after the reboot. that's linux...slow to initiate things...
all my win 8 machines boot in about 12 seconds to the desktop.
ubuntu took over two minutes in comparison.
Initiating system startup apps & functions seems to be a bottlekneck on linux
I doubt this is any different.

Hold on, I hope you're not accusing me of lying there. All I did was ask, and relayed the response I was given. Don't go shooting the messenger bud, and yes the factory is open weekends as you well know because a) the chips arrived on a Sunday. I was there. b) Markus was there all last weekend with production in full swing.

10 degrees difference between those two is some kind of issue..  not high temps to worry about, but do you have a die/48 cores off on one?  A fan not seated right?

[Phoenix1969]

BTW...  GUI reboot speeds still holding...


I wonder what the deal is?
all I did was change the passwords

also on a strange note...
Of the three units, the one with the LEAST WUnits is the fastest, and the one with the most, is the slowest.
Isn't that bass-akwards as to how it's supposed to be?

[gateway]

Just fyi , I wrote up a quick how to get mining with Eligius with your KNC devices.. its dead simple but just encase someone doesn't understand..

Yeah, I looked and visually they seem ok. Not too worried if the temp is not beyond limit. What temp is the worry point for future info? Just like with PC/GPUs?

The speed has stabilized to 245ish using EMC. Will worry about tweaks later. Just very happy I have it early enough and it's basically meeting spec. I'm using a 1200 Watt Gold power supply.

yep just saying that temp diff is a sign one isn't running as well as the other if the cooling is identical.  They run cooler when they drop cores.. so that is a significant drop.  Probably losing 30-40Gh

I doubt anyone is lying intentionally, i suspect that circumstances are just changing rapidly.

Got another Jupiter today.  It was underperforming (~495) and one of the ASICs was about 18C higher than the others.  Used a flashlight to look under the heatsink and found that KNC didn't remove the plastic between the chip and the heat sink.  Removed the heat sink, removed the plastic from the heat sink and replaced it.  Performance is about 15 GH/s higher and temp is down to 50C (was 68C).

Someone else posted on the KNC forum the same problem:

[DigginDeep]

How could the total of October orders needing to be shipped out change when October orders were closed over a month ago? I'm not sure if people are just blind or ignorant.

https://www.kncminer.com/news/news-52

Thanks.  I had gone to the list of firmware on the News page and it only went to 0.95.

I can see why higher diff will give better results.  Less thru put at the BBB.

Oh joy - another cgminer fail.
They didn't implement device details in my API ( 'devs' returns an error)
... and the very useful API 'stats' returns no details on them either.
Sigh ...

as long as you can fix it this probably means there's room for perf imporvment

Not possible without hardware.
