Title: KNC Miner - Jupiter device: which PSU are you guys planning on using? Post by: waterboi92 on June 19, 2013, 12:56:05 AM to my understanding, the jupiter devices will not come with a PSU? what brands and models are you guys looking into and why? KNC says jupiter will consume less than 1000W of power, so - is there really a difference between using a 1000W PSU and a 1200W PSU? anything below 1000W PSU for jupiter is going to damage the device?
Title: Re: KNC Miner - Jupiter device: which PSU are you guys planning on using? Post by: mvidetto on June 19, 2013, 01:34:58 AM I would consider waiting as 1000W is a margin, and KNC may have power usage as low as 700-800 watts on the finished product. No point in buying something before it is necessary anyways...

I'm sure it was Corsair. Title: Re: KNC Miner - Jupiter device: which PSU are you guys planning on using? Post by: LiteBit on June 19, 2013, 03:51:01 AM I've been using these on my rigs the past couple years. They are the best 1000 imho.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817703028 They say 950 but come about 1080 out of the box. Quiet, Single Rail. I'm not sure if I'm going to move them over to the Jupiters, but am thinking about it. Will need to grab a couple more ;) Title: Re: KNC Miner - Jupiter device: which PSU are you guys planning on using? Post by: dhenson on June 19, 2013, 04:00:59 AM I'm not that familiar with the difference between the Gold and Silver ratings. Assuming close to max load, how much would you predict saving (%) using the Gold over silver?
Assuming the Jupiter comes in under power estimates, and the difference isn't that great, it might make sense going with your suggestion. Title: Re: KNC Miner - Jupiter device: which PSU are you guys planning on using? Post by: AFox on June 19, 2013, 11:31:14 AM Weapon of choice :

Saving a few dollars on a cheaper makes, or getting a lower powered one that 'should' do is silly, or a lower powered one to get it into the 'optimal zone' is going to save just a fraction short of f*** all. Buy a big one, then relax :) AX1200 seems good given currently released specs. Title: Re: KNC Miner - Jupiter device: which PSU are you guys planning on using?

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.

In the mean time, where do they stand? They're using FPGAs, but somehow have the best prices, and power efficiencies, and will be delivering soon?

They then had (multiple) open house days to show they were legit. They are producing 28nm ASIC hardware due to be delivered in Sept/Oct. The originally advertised 250GH/s for 7-8k USD and ended up promising 350GH/s for under 7k. We are currently awaiting final GH/s estimates (they are hinting that it will end up higher than 350GH/s for the Jupiter unit) and their Power consumption looks to be below initial expectations as well. They by all outward appearances appear to be the best bet in the Asic for Pre-Order market at the moment. Title: Re: KNC Miner - Jupiter device: which PSU are you guys planning on using?

I was skeptical of KNC myself and it's good to see there is community support for them. I'll be watching with great interest in Sept/Oct. It would be amazing if they pull this 28nm product off in that timeframe. Not an easy task to accomplish at all. Wishing them Godspeed with this project.

You have a point about on the power consumption side since they said: "We have previously specified the power consumption of the Jupiter device at a 1000 watts.

Post by: webjoe on August 28, 2013, 08:18:37 PM Looks like KNCMiner just came out with information regarding PSU.
https://www.kncminer.com/news/news-31 Quote So today we can reveal the following recommendations; We recommend an 850 Watt PSU with a minimum of 4x PCI-E adaptors for our Jupiter model. We recommend a 600 Watt PSU with a minimum of 2x PCI-E adaptors for our Saturn model. We recommend a 400 Watt PSU with a minimum of a PCI-E adaptor for our Mercury model. This recommended power wattage figure is calculated upon our max. power consumption of total device including all of its components. We aim to ensure you use a power supply unit capable of outputting in excess of the current recommended wattage to prevent any problems caused due to insufficient power. Note: Powers supplies must contain a sufficient number of PCI-E adaptors for each respective unit. With the recommendations, which PSU is best?

Depending on prices, I might go for current-sharing with multiple smaller 12v supplies and add in some redundancy - not sure yet. Just ordered a lot of 20 of http://i00.i.aliimg.com/wsphoto/v0/655290536/100-NEW-PCI-Express-font-b-6-b-font-font-b-pin-b-font-font-b.jpg via aliexpress for USD 15 shipping included. Easier to chop off and chuck the 8pins than making the 6pin cables by hand. http://www.aliexpress.com/snapshot/261041689.html What sort of costs are you guys looking at for PC PSUs? (I'll post what prices this approach is costing when I get quotes next week) Title: Re: KNC Miner - Jupiter device: which PSU are you guys planning on using? Post by: -Redacted- on August 29, 2013, 12:19:03 AM I bought this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817171078 Do we need anything else? Possibly a paperclip... Looks like a good choice to me. Just bought one myself. Title: Re: KNC Miner - Jupiter device: which PSU are you guys planning on using?

Post by: joae1975 on August 29, 2013, 02:44:51 PM ok, ordered for jupiter. You should get a 1000 watt to be safe. The one from new egg above seems to be the consensus on other threads, IMHO. Cheaper too.http://www.corsair.com/en/power-supply-units/ax-series-power-supply-units/ax860-atx-power-supply-860-watt-80-plus-platinum-certified-fully-modular-psu.html Title: Re: KNC Miner - Jupiter device: which PSU are you guys planning on using?

Title: Re: KNC Miner - Jupiter device: which PSU are you guys planning on using? Post by: NiteShdw on August 29, 2013, 04:57:33 PM I don't see any reason to buy a PSU until they've announced that they are shipping. You never know if they'll come back with specific PSU recommendations that are tested and known to work instead of just guessing.

Fair enough if you have a store close to your location, or are serviced by an efficient postal network, but globally this isn't the case. They mentioned the need to inform their more 'remote' customers, besides people had been bugging for sometime about having fair warning...

I am in the US and I'm used to getting shipments in 2-3 days. I guess I get spoiled by Amazon Prime. |
