Title: KnCMiner Titan hardware issues Post by: digicoin on October 03, 2014, 12:37:30 PM Hi all,
I got my Titan (not the Mini one) few days ago. However, I became very disappointed very soon because + Titan hardware is not good: too hot, irrelevant equipped cables which can cause fire easily I think + Titan can not run with full cores. In theory, it should run with 2200+ cores. However, in fact it runs with ~1700 cores only + HR is much lower than what KnC promises (300MH/s): 170 MH/s - 220 MH/s on average + Miners are very unstable. The worker seems to die unexpectedly very frequently + Buggy and not tested firmware Quote [2014-10-03 12:30:25] KNC 1[5:1]: Failed to set work state (2) [2014-10-03 12:30:25] KNC 1[5:1]: Failed to set work state (2) [2014-10-03 12:30:25] KNC 1[5:1]: Failed to set work state (2) [2014-10-03 12:30:25] Accepted 00041340 KNC 1btt Diff 245m/21m [2014-10-03 12:30:25] KNC 1[5:1]: Failed to set work state (2) [2014-10-03 12:30:25] KNC 1[5:1]: Failed to set work state (2) [2014-10-03 12:30:25] KNC 1[5:1]: Failed to set work state (2) [2014-10-03 12:30:25] KNC 1[5:1]: Failed to set work state (2) [2014-10-03 12:30:25] KNC 1[5:1]: Failed to set work state (2) [2014-10-03 12:30:25] KNC 1[5:1]: Failed to set work state (2) [2014-10-03 12:30:25] Accepted 0000c17f KNC 1cey Diff 1/21m [2014-10-03 12:30:25] KNC 1[5:1]: Failed to set work state (2) Lot of people on KnC forum have the same issue http://forum.kncminer.com/forum/main-category/hardware http://forum.kncminer.com/forum/main-category/main-forum It looks like no issue can be solved with the support from Kurt. My questions are: + What is your experience with your Titan? + How should I do when my hardware is unstable? Send it back of warranty?

failed to set work state! KNC totally forked us where the sun dont shine.. Title: Re: KnCMiner Titan hardware issues Post by: MaxDZ8 on October 04, 2014, 06:43:03 AM Considering all the delays this sucks big time.
On the pro side, I suppose this means they don't use them for their internal mining? Of course not! They probably have better builds for internal use!

One of my cubes seems to be dead :( Title: Re: KnCMiner Titan hardware issues Post by: bt2084 on October 23, 2014, 01:36:10 PM Don't feel bad if only one of dies is dead and you are left out.
Apparently over time other dies start dying off. I have three dies that are increasingly failing now, along with the one die has been dead since the unit arrived. KnC are real bastards for designing then shipping a broken product and then not allowing cross or early RMA shipment. |
