Underneath??
ya just picture the copper heatsinks on the bottom...don't really need a picture for that  well the heatsinks will help even more on bottom too...spec. with neptunes since they are already oc'd so much it'll help you get the most outta it i think you can't do both i don't think...ya the plate is alittle hot, but the reason its hot is cause the vrms are screaming hot...i really don't think its sucking up the heat from the vrms..i think its hot just from being around the vrms...oh and those gray things block air flow and trap heat in...and so does the case  hope this helps also i made the mistake of leaving the grey pad on 4 of my modules and only been ran for few weeks like that but you can see the damage it did...the caps are dark...i mean almost black now  so i picture in a week or so with all those neptunes heating up, all vrms will be toast and probably break...that grey thing does nothing but heat up the vrms more...or maybe it just transfers the heat to the smd caps...idk but if i was a neptune owner i wouldn't be running them in a knc designed case...they may make a good 28nn chip but they suck at designing cases or heat management |

See DC/DC numbers 0 and 1 are hot:
I was afraid of that, they can most likely be hacked to run faster using the spi just like the Nov but those VRMs simply don't have much headroom, it looks like they scrimped on this design to maximize profits unlike the margins they built into the November boards.. The VRMs used have a thermal shutdown so they shouldn't cook themselves, within 10C of thermal shutdown (starts in the high 90s if I remember right) it will start throwing a FAULT 4 indicating it's hot.. They put heatsinks on the VRMs, which was a great move but with stock clocks have them at almost 50A they simply may not have a lot left.. With that said the GE VRMs run about 40% over spec with no issues so perhaps the Ericsson VRMs have a lot of headroom designed in, there might be hope.. I need a system for a few days to figure something out but I cancelled my order so best I could do is customize something and send it for testing but without being able to read the bus it will be tough unless by chance they didn't change things at all.. Hi Padrino, I found a way to solve the 105+ C readings. I have modified one box (will do 2 more) and now the DC/DC 1 is at the same levels as the others (around 90). I'm sure that with some better and additional Fans we can lower the temps of all VRM's. oh elenelen..i wish i had that neptune it should be easy to lower the temp on vrm...buy little square copper heatsinks for the vrms...scrap the crappy thick thermal pad that doesn't do crap and then just take the yeller sticker off vrm n put copper on...also get some heatsinks for the bottom...take it out the case...raise board off table an inch or so and have fan blow on it...i have nov. mods oc'd really high and highest vrm temp is around 80c all with heatsinks top n bottom raised n 140mm fan blowing on it Can you give us a picture please??  |

probably the continued ddos attacks oh well...they'll get bored eventually |
|
|
|
doesn't really matter when...already looking at +22% and probably more for the rest of the diff. changes again my poor jups now have a death time it looks like...just after i built a custom heat exhaust for it grrr |
|
|
|
 Besides, another 100pcs of hosting miners to be set up. nice..was thinking about picking up another one but knc is delivering neptunes now so idk |

Please stop quoting posts with big/lots images in them. Please!
your beating a dead horse...to many new ppl will come n don't know this you'd have to post this like every other msg and even still, it'll happen |

Can everyone who has been defrauded please email him? There are several thousand dollars gone. We cannot let him walk all over us like this and take our money without a fight.
This is only the first step. Step 2 will be to create a Web page summarizing that LARRY STRAWSON has defrauded us in an online scheme. We will get this page ad good SEO as possible for potential employers to see.
If possible we will even get the press and media involved.
this is not over until we get our refunds!
Larry. Just to let you know. This is wrong. You may get away with this but realize that cheating others and defraud in honest hardworking people will not get you very far in life. Eventually it will catch up with you and you will pay for your crimes.
would be nice but he is already long gone...nothing will happen to him...no matter what ya do |

well here it is finally...   24hr downtime right there to build and then figure out how to make it work just don't get it...have a 14in. 1300cfm fan on top of a wooden case i built...it'll blow >> w/o the box to put on top of it for the vent...but as soon as i put the box on it, it blows <<< how is that possible? i guess is it because i'm trying to go from a 14in fan to 7in vent tube? also seems it doesn't matter which way i have the fan..cause i flipped it around and it does the same thing...its a fan to remove heat from an attic...thought it would work great here...so then i put the fan in the window turned it on and it was blowing out...put the box over it...WTH it still blows out...so i guess i'll try that...just reverse the way i intended to use it...must be the position cause i was laying it flat and now its on the window... then i had to redesign the whole works cause i couldn't use that vent...but happy with end result...got some pretty good suction so i shouldn't have to worry about the heat anymore...only downside was somehow i hurt one of my controller boards...it ramps up the volts then shuts the vrms off..some will come back on...others won't...messing with the volt settings helps some...and its not the asic or psu tryed different for that slot oh well...win some ya lose some EDIT: wasn't the controller board, was an asic board...lost my balance on a step stool and leaded on one of the mods but i did fix it back to almost 100% only like 10 cores off so i'll take it  |

what would cause a controller board to wig out and ramp up the volts for 1 mod then kill the vrms? it was working fine til i moved it around...now i got 1 module down |

just don't get it...have a 14in. 1300cfm fan on top of a wooden case i built...it'll blow >> w/o the box to put on top of it for the vent...but as soon as i put the box on it, it blows <<< how is that possible? i guess is it because i'm trying to go from a 14in fan to 7in vent tube? also seems it doesn't matter which way i have the fan..cause i flipped it around and it does the same thing...its a fan to remove heat from an attic...thought it would work great here EDIT: ok so i put the fan in the window turned it on and it was blowing out...put the box over it...WTH it still blows out...so i guess i'll try that...just reverse the way i intended to use it...must be the position cause i was laying it flat and now its on the window...wierd I just hope a 7in sucking vent is enuff to suck away 3 jups worth of heat instead of 14in. And now i think i messed up my controller board for my nov. unit for 1 asic...tryed different board n different psu cable and it does the same thing...ramps up to really high volt then shuts off the vrms they come back on eventually but only at like 10a and throws a fault 81 code on bertmode...oh happy days |

i try This Firmware in my October 5 boards and work well ... 820 Gh/s but after 5 min its down to 680-700 Gh/s
some idea of what happens?
depending on what oc setting your using and how many cores are shutting off on ya...when it first starts up isn't the real gh/s you should know this by now...need more time to avg. the hashrate out |

ahh nice...so the room is a/c then...what is the temps in the room with all those miners running? just curious...having a heat battle here myself w/o any a/c |

Can someone give me a link to where I can download the 'Padrino' firmware? Thanks in advance.
There is a link to it on page 50 Awesome, thanks I had seen that link, but in context it was not clear if that was the real f/w or not. Thanks for the confirmation Well, apparently, this image linked on page 50 does not support October units. My Oct Jupiter works fine with the unified 1.01 from the KnC website, but if I install this f/w image, the miner won't start - and if I start it by hand it complains of EEPROM errors or something to that effect. Oh well sorry but ya either had a bad flash or did something wrong cause i have 2 oct jups on that fw from that link cheers |

And in other news: KNC is still screwing ppl...bought some hosted miners shipped to me from someone off forum...he says he has official statements and announcements from them that said they were upgrading them to nov. boards free of charge...and what do i receive...yep you guessed it Oct. jups oh and you'd think by now they would at least secure the flipping fan shrouds on after the first shipment hazard...nope...even some of the heatsinks where crooked...typical stuff that has been all over the forum for months now and with the neptombs...good luck with those if they didn't put another connector on the asic...if oct. jups OC'd can melt psu pcie connectors....you'll insta start a fire with these lol...well maybe not cause it'll probably just trip the psu before it would go poof...but then if they require 420w thur 1 pcie 6pin...how the heck did they test this? and why would they think this would work for the general public? I wonder if they'll ship with their famous pcie extenders on just to increase the odds of fire?  |

I'd like to know what happened to pool at 17:48...saw a dip in hashrate...thought it was my net but a hosted miner did the same thing...didn't get any shares to backup pool either normally when it goes down that far there is a spike upwards... |

Well I supposed pools could vet miners really carefully like coin base does.
But I don't think miners want to send in id proof of location yada yada yada.
While the solo fork option stops the attack many miners want the steady .12btc a day that 3x 1th machines bring in on a pool.
they don't want to go 6-7 months at a time to hit a block.
I am not liking that so far the only thing to stop a bad luck attack is a solo fork option.
I suppose I could get 5 friends with a total of 3th each we could all solo mine on a fork provided by btcguild or bit minter or eligus it should take the 15th about 6 weeks to hit
a block, but with bad luck that 15th could go 18 weeks easy.
This is why if you offer the solo fork as a pool op you take the risk off the pool and put it on the miner.
I am too small of a miner to really worry. 2th for btc and 25mh for ltc. if the pools offer a fork I put 10% in the fork and still mine merged with 90%. And I hope for the best.
This needs to be solved by some clever pool op or mining will suffer a lot.
boy you really want solo fork don't ya? isn't that like solo mining..but on a pool but your still solo mining..which is kinda pointless? |

Since I started overclocking my October Jups via the custom firmware, I've noticed an odd issue that I never had before. Some of the VRM's seem to drop to half-power (~20w). My hashrate dips as well, but the VRM doesn't just die on me like they used to. A quick restart of the miner or adjusting/applying settings will fix the issue for a time.
Is this a heat/OC/voltage issue? I can't seem to pinpoint the cause.
i've noticed this on my nov. jup....turning the volts/clock down has helped with keeping it at full power all the time...some cores just don't like to high oc |

well this escalated quickly *grabs some more popcorn* but still sad...hardly any scammer is ever brought to real justice...or its very few n far between...the 200btc we got to hold from him is pretty much all we'll get |
