Well I don't know how to tell you all this.
So I will just tell you.
My Saturn arrived today after a 6.5 day trip from Sweden to my home in the Northern Florida area.
The box....... almost pristine. Few small tears. Open the box there is some extra pink foam on the sides of the miner in addition to the end foam.
Inside the miner, I opened it up........pristine. No fans hanging off, no loose wires, no heatsink plastic, FLAWLESS
I plug my Corsair HX850 into the unit, plug in the Ethernet, put in the "paper clip"
Find it on the network, login in all looks well.
It has the .95 firmware
Its hashing at between 260 and 274GH to BTCGuild. Between 45-51C on the chips.
So I was dying to screw with it, take it apart, put it back together again, tweak it, mess with it.
I can't, I shouldn't, it just works.
What am I missing?

I'll probably not break even with my Saturn and lose money. Kind of sucks...and the only way to get out of that is to actually buy more hashing power. The cycle never ends really. I'm a solid 279Gh/s according to cgminer but I don't know what all those other numbers on the screen are. I'm trying to take a screen shot of that screen and do a break down to help people out on what everything means. Reading it from a text file leads much to be desired. I crudely took a screen shot and point some arrows and maybe can make a one stop shop for what all those numbers mean on this one page.  |

....
I momentarily even saw the web interface, but when I told it my stratum URL for my p2pool it somehow told the power supply to shut down.
....
The Saturn comes on for a minute or two, but before I can even ping it a bright white light shines and it apparently tells the power supply to shut down again.
....
Any idea what-all that behavior might be trying to convey?
-MarkM-
Its the overload protection of the PSU kicking in. On the 4VRM boards with firmware < 0.95, I have seen the wattage jumping up (and consuming more power than a >=0.95 FW) and down which would explain why the PSU is shutting down in order to protect itself This issue was fixed in >= 0.95. I had a seasonic 1050W which was also doing that and had to rebalance the PCIE connectors to get it up and flash it Cheers |

You have to tear it apart and spend 3 or 4 days tinkering with it and messing about with firmware to get an extra 20GH/s like everyone else in this thread. You don't actually want to mine with it, do you? You can mine when difficulty is 3 times what it is today.  Seriously, congratulations! Just let that thing hash away. You'll have plenty of time to tinker with it in a few months. |

If your miner is a dog, then yes, you need to at least try to get it running well. But if there's nothing wrong, why mess around with it? You're wasting valuable hashing time! Just wait until the next firmware update to see if it nets you a few more GH/s. |

Any performance/flushwork/etc benefits with BFGminer right now vs. the stock cgminer? Seems to perform at least as well. More time is needed to figure out if it's notably better. bfgminer version 3.3.0 - Started: [2013-10-22 04:02:28] - [ 0 days 02:14:20]

How about BFGminer re: socks5/TOR connectivity? I've not heard any reports of proxy problems with BFGMiner. |

Okay, received my jupiter today. Wast getting about 450gh/s with temperatures around 60 degrees C.
I updated to .96 and my temps went down to 40 degrees C. Hashrate stayed about the same.
I loaded up enablecore.bin and it gave me an error while rebooting. Now everytime I try to go to the miners setup page, it gives me a 404 page not found.
Any ideas??

I tried the bfgminer installation from Luke-Jr on my Saturn running 0.96. Installation & compilation went through fine.
