If you have a new miner without a lot of HW errors (cores turning off) you may be fine with .95 but just know you are stuck with a substandard miner compared to one with 8 VRMs
Why isn't a 4 VRM board just as good as a 8 VRM in terms of hashrate? |

thanks ok i'll just keep the seasonic 860 80plus platinum for the Jupiter and I have a 660w seasonic 80plus platinum for the Saturn
whew..i was like 1 click away from getting the corsairs....(better to be dumb and lucky I guess)
the corsair and seasonic psus are kind of exactly the same thing ack..... i'll guess i'll just have to take my chances and hope it is the 'specfic' model of corsair they talk about the AX860 I think it was if I find out diff i'll just plain have to go get another one in town someplace Searing It is a totally different class PSU. i wouldn't worry about it. I think the AX860 is _based_ on the Seasonic 860XP, the one you have. However, you still have a more reliable brand because Corsair does their own work and asks Seasonic to make modifications, for better or worse. I should have gotten a Seasonic, but mine is kind of an copy or so, so i guess it doesn't matter. However, the Corsair HX series appears to be made by Channel Well rather than Seasonic, so it is totally different, I think. http://whirlpool.net.au/wiki/psu_manufacturers |

1) There are no more refunds.
2) Hash fast are nowhere near shipping in a week. They won't have their chips for ~ 3 more weeks and the first device won't be made for 5 days after they start packaging. Realistically, they will be tweaking the first miners the first week of November with a mid November first shipment. (2 weeks late)
How do you figure ~ 3 weeks? and 2 weeks late? |

I don't understand, didn't hashfast make a queue of only around 500 units? You are saying that they can produce and test all the units in one day? |

Got my stuff in today. One of my Jupiters was working for about an hour then shut itself down. It refuses to power itself back on. It will briefly attempt to turn on for about 3 seconds and then it shuts down again. I thought maybe it was the PSU so I swapped it with another but that isn't the issue.
PSU's = OCZ ZX 1250
The other two run fine.
what does it look on the inside? |

and on a side note I gather if you do manage or need to send your psu back (again I have seasonic so prob safe) prob a person should jump it up from 860w seasonic or whatever to say a 1000 or more to be safe at this point in time (if you have to send you stuff back) would that be prudent?

Are you talking about the platinum seasonic? I have a corsair ax860 which is the same thing, but I did not get my miner yet. I am not really worried about this PSU, though. I would be concerned with the seasonic x-850 gold, but not the seasonic platinum ss-860. Our PSUs are made better with protection features or something. check someone's post https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=170332.msg3322663;topicseen#msg3322663p |

I already point it out thread. First of all it isn't pin 4, 5, or 6 (#1 to #12 is the first row). The PS-ON pin is #16. When it is connected to ground (and ground) that will pull the voltage low. This is the "signal" to the PSU to power the output rails ("turn on" although that isn't technically correct).  Any ground pin will work equally fine. As you can see in the pinout above there are multiple ground pins in the ATX-24 connector and they all are exactly the same. You are just completing a circuit from the positive voltage on pin #16 to any ground. What you call #5 & #6 are #17 & #18 and they are both ground pins. So is the next pin (#19) and the one of the other side of PS_ON (#15) as well as both of the pins diagonally (#3 & #5). Hell you could even connect a wire from PS_ON to a bare screw on the power supply and it would work (UL listed PSU means the metal chassis is also grounded). 1) You explained it best when you said that kncminer guide that says pin 4 &5 and the guy who posted here who said pin 4&6 are actually meaning pin 16/14 and a ground pin, they are reading it wrong and backwards. I do not understand why they are doing that, but they are. You , yourself, are actually getting the pin numbers incorrect too -- saying #15, so i guess it is common. 2) What about taking the jumper out before turning off the PSU, is that good? it is what Redacted on here recommended. |

I bought that too. Is there something wrong with the configuration? Should i change the pins? Do you have problems with yours? There is nothing wrong with that jumper, the pinout looks to be correct. Its not as pretty or as functional as mine but hey.  Well, is there any expert who can say what is the difference between shorting pin 4 & 6 vs. 4 & 5. Most people use pins 4 & 5 no? I think I might pull the pin out of the one i have to reconfigure it from 4 &6 to 4 & 5. I don't know In addition, was Redacted right that one should disconnect the paperclip or one of these things before turning off the PSU power switch? |

FYI, my Jupiter day 1 customer 1-500 is running hosted since 2 days now at an underwhelming 100 GH/s average and my order still says PAID, never went to "processing" or anything else.
Maybe you will get lucky and get a second Jupiter. But anyways, contact the hosting facility and ask them to turn of its power, open up the casing, and check its cables. You pay them for doing stuff like that. |

 I bought this (sry for bad pic) I didnt take much notice at the time, but the jumper is set to pin 4 and pin 6 unlike the setup suggested in the manual of pin 4 and 5 I also have the 8vrm boards and the 6 connection controller board I bought that too. Is there something wrong with the configuration? Should i change the pins? Do you have problems with yours? |

W. T. F.?
This is running 0.93...umm help!?
turn off the power, open the case, reconnect the cables |
|
|

^Yeah, 550+ yeah, my ass... I am hosted and stuck at 100 average....
can't you ask the people at the hosting facility to turn off its power, open the case and check if there are loose cables? You are paying them afterall. That is likely the issue with your miner. |

or maybe they should of gave a miner to the designer of bfgminer/cgminer...
Luke-Jr will have a look at it next week. The source code will be released. He is the author of bfgminer. But yeah, they should have given him a free machine and let him do testing. He could probably do better firmware work than they are doing too. |

I think they say it is a firmware issue mostly because the hardware is basically the same in all the units.
I hope that's right because it looks to me like they have a shitload of bad chips and only found out when they arrived and didn't perform, and are now having to test them as they go which is slowing them right down. They definitely didn't have time to test them before they announced that happy hashrate in the video and sent a bunch out. I remember people saying that rigs arrived with no activity on their pool accounts too, so maybe the first time they ran in anger was when they arrived at the customers? Maybe they can make a firmware where cores become disabled, but then they are re-enabled quicker or something, or maybe a firmware where disabled cores are enabled, but at 80% of what they were trying to do , or something. |

But, hey, Bitcoinorama claims he's all about ethics. I'm sure he'd understand your dilemma and get you a refund, right?
What about your ethics of trying to make KNCMiner investors feel bad about their investment? |
