Title: [WTS] KnC Jupiter board (damaged during shipping)
Post by: Blazed on December 03, 2014, 05:28:51 AM
I have no clue if it works because I am not about to test it. I know that it worked fine before shipping, but the heat sink came off and knocked off 2 little parts.
It comes with the board + Heat Sink + Fan

150GH when slightly over clocked

Shipping costs + Make me an offer (Not expecting much, but at least make it worth my packing efforts  8))
Located in the USA.

if those little tan colored blocks are the only apparent damage, aside from heatsink knocked loose, then it should be ok operation wise. this is what i noticed:

appears you have a 4 VRM Jupiter module( 4 power modules [ later revs had either 6 or 8 cant remember])
2 bypass capacitors (tan blocks) have been knocked loose on a non populated vrm location; this should NOT affect operation.





You could test it if you want to verify operation but first use a soldering iron to heat up the bypass cap thats partially attached to melt solder and remove it, as well as remelt the solder pads on the board where the other one was knocked loose.

I can annotate a photo if you'd like.

So no chance it could smoke my PSU or controller?

gimme just a minute. im writing directions for you to try to be extra doubly sure.

but yes there is slim/0 chance that they would smoke PSU or controller since those caps aren't hooked up to a voltage regulator.


follow the below prior to function testing just to CYA on all sides

For what it's worth, I concur with his advice.

Hahaha, Ill tell you right now that board will work with little problems.  I have 30 something boards, some with lots of pieces missing(nov boards)...and no fires yet. I overclocked them to the nuts too.

Alright I will bust out the soldering iron and clean it up...then toss it in!

Just be mindful that the October? Batch with only 4 VRM modules they won't overclocking as much as the November ones since there are fewer amps available

Well I did what you said and it is working so far! I think I need better paste under it since it is around 5 degrees hotter than the rest.

Woot. Congrats on the resurrection

As for paste, no idea what is being used atm but I've always used arctic silver as5 or arctic silver ceramique2 both are wonderful quality and a little goes a long way. On cpu cooler make sure th small grooves between the pipes on cooler contact surface are filled for max contact

Well I used some cheap white paste to test it - Switched to some I had laying around - Zalman Super Thermal Grease (Thick grey stuff) I also filled in those grooves

Still slot 5


Thanks for all the help!!
