Title: Kncminer power supplies
Post by: joae1975 on June 20, 2013, 03:17:30 AM
I read on their website that the Saturn and Jupiter units require an external power supply.  Does anyone know of a specific product that will do the job?  Please post links.  Also, are there any other accessories we may need?  Thanks!

I think we need to wait for the chip and boards to be produced before that can be determined but I like your optimism!

Don't get ahead of yourself. September is still over 2 months away.

Hi Guys

Sorry for butting in in your discussion but don't buy any power supplies yet.

We will have a large Technical announcement coming next week. Where we will give even more accurate Power figures and GH/s.

It will be a significant announcement which I hope will make all of our customers happy. and no before you ask I wont reveal any details before that newsletter goes out :)

again please don't buy a 1200W power supply you simply will not need one that powerful or expensive.

Thanks bro, didn't see that thread.  Tried to search.  And yes, I'm optimistic.  I'm going to win the knc lottery, don't you know?

I know the feeling.

If you're the gambling type, this wager on bitbet is looking pretty good (based on Sam's somewhat vague post)

They said to wait and specs will be given out.  Also not to waste your money on 1200 KW power supplies.

Have I read wrong? The amount is for 10 sets instead of one set . Should be 1200W?

It looks like standard ATX power supply is okay. For optimal operation, You may need the plantium one to follow up.
