This community rewards good deeds with donations, not forced patent license fees. Do you really think anyone will pay you when you require a fee? No thanks, first person to get the tweaks will leak all over the internet. Have fun trying to collect a dime.

As well as being one of the lead asic unit suppliers worldwide(in terms of cost/ghs/timeframe) is an honor.
You have to earn that title, you don't gift it to yourself.

Why not just post when you have an announcement, rather than announcing an upcoming announcement.

Probably the screws are under the rubber feet. The rest should be simple I guess... But I would be more worried about the heat, not the noise, I've heard about at least one Single fried due to temp most likely. If you find some quiet high CFM fans...good, if not you better let it roar ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) less noise, more heat. Do you have the BFL PSU? No, bought my own PSU, i cant sleep because of it , lol ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) I found it was cheaper to rent a 3 floor apartment to mine in than give up mining. #baylife Dogie : I never said i was quitting. Philips : I run the BitForce for abt 3 hours now and it didnt heated at all I don't know the noise level of BFL miner. But I believe it will not worse than Avalon. I have to put my Avalon alone in a room and close the door all the time to prevent the jet plane noise. avalon_temp 53 ftw

I would recommend to all that you shake the unit and keep turning it around over your head to listen for screws - after an external visual check.
better look carefully than shake ... You won't see a screw beneath a PCB.

hahahah Funny.. But I am 99% sure Josh is here.. I have my ways of knowing..
And p.s my Buthurt dont hurt.. Got 100% of EVERY freaking penny back from those F' off..s
But you're metaphorically mourning the loss of the potential profit. If you weren't, then you wouldn't be calling them F'offs. After all, you made your money back right?

Is Josh back in this Thread Trolling again??? Come on Josh, you should spend your time trying to up your BFL shipments from 5 units a day to 10..
Go away Josh..
All your posts involve accusing random phantoms of being Josh. Think you need some counselling to remove the BFL butthurt. Edit: Yes, I am in fact Josh before you ask ^_^

Guys you do realise he is trying to improve FPGA efficiency, and patent the results? This is a hell of a long way from open source.

Read it all, still not sure what you are claiming though. tldr?

How can you miss ROI on a $2k unit...

You didn't self moderate, no deleting for you ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) 0.000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001btc good luck paying that amount It's Dogie.. Get accustomed to childish behavior... I was merely pointing out he didn't set self moderated, what were you doing? *free bumps*

He already did, the seller bounced the payment when he didn't reply for a week.

Will need a new generation of PSUs for this, no one has beefy 5V rails that get even close to this.

Quite honestly I don't think this slide was created to do anything other than deceive. The results don't make sense in any useful or meaningful scenario, other than to generate pretty pictures.
OK.. we'll jot you down as a skeptic on the cooling just in case you aren't here daily until September reminding us about it Calm down, we know they have your money hostage so you have to agree with them. Its been like 24 hours since I first brought it up, still not been explained away. Your miners, your houses being burnt down by your miners.

This is thermodynamics, you don't 'set' a temperature for the chip. You set airflow characteristics, ambient temps, all the material and conduction properties, convection properties blah blah, and most importantly: the heat output of the chip.
The temp it settles at is the result of your simulation and is determined by the thermodynamic relationship of the system. Really depends what you're testing. If you're testing a cooling solution that's one thing--which appears to be what's happening with this picture. They're not saying the chip itself every gets to 125C, but they're saying if it did here's the thermal result based on cooling. At least, that's the most generous way to read the situation. But it's also plausible and even probable if we assume that KNC isn't full of idiots. UNLESS, this is a faked simulation which really isn't a simulation - but a fixed temp heat dissipation exercise. Set chip temp to 125C fixed, 2D analysis, ambient temp in -> what happens to the airflow? Means absolutely nothing, provides absolutely nothing, tells you absolutely nothing but would produce a pretty graph like we see here. That's what I think we're seeing, yes. Who knows the origin of this picture too, it may be a simulation not even provided by KNC but by the documentation around the cooling solution itself. Part 1 doesn't make sense. There is no point seeing what the cooling solution does with a chip temp @ 125C - your chip is on fire. Doesn't matter if the heat is being dissipated or not, chip is still too hot. Quite honestly I don't think this slide was created to do anything other than deceive. The results don't make sense in any useful or meaningful scenario, other than to generate pretty pictures.
