No, the standoffs are the same length, 6mm. The difference is that one set is 6mm wide and the other is 8mm wide. The extra width would make them more stable, but 6mm should be ok too.
Ah you are correct, sorry for that (hopefully it helps someone else that got confused  ) |

The Hyper 212 EVO, and probably any other Socket 1155 cooler, is only designed to fit boards with an existing backplate
<\snip>
Can you confirm that the EVO does not come with backplate? It does come with a backplate, that's the funky looking thing in the top right of the picture labeled "All-in-one Mounting Solution" The Standoff you recommended has a two week delivery time. Metric Aluminum Female Threaded Hex Standoff, 8mm Hex, 6mm Length, M3 Screw Size http://www.mcmaster.com/#95947a310/=oridfbIs there anything else you recommend that can substitute this? I guess there's only 130 left in stock. The 6mm diameter M3 ones should be fine. http://www.mcmaster.com/#95947a210/=oy3qinGreat, Just to clarify should I also get a smaller length for the M3? Maybe M3x8mm? http://www.mcmaster.com/#92005a118/=oy3t7a |

Funny. I continue to notice a direct correlation between who most trolled my endorsement thread and their number of KNC miners they ordered as well as their early position in the order queue.
One of the few times I'll actually respond to you. There was no trolling of your thread, you are as crooked as they come and were called out on that, which just so happened to be in that thread. I personally have no problem with HashFast and actually have only good things to say thus far when people ask my opinion of them. Somehow you believe everyone that doesn't like you must not like HashFast or has some sort of Agenda, sorry that's not the case but carry on. (Sorry for those that have him ignored) |

just wondering what your personal views are as someone with access to the KNC order book and an interest in the ethics of businesses involved in the mining business.
Not trying to take anything away from your questions - which I too would like to hear the answers to - but I think bitcoinorama explicitly said that he does not have access to the KnC order book unfortunately... scotjam He said he was sitting besides four customer services representatives who did :-) I'm just annoyed because this is the second time I've fallen for an over-confident ASIC manufacturer making bold claims: https://www.kncminer.com/news/news-37Would be nice to get the honest answer for once about why things always seem to go tits up after some lucky people get an early delivery. Either KNC have just gone over the top paranoid about quality assurance after the variance in hashing rate per module and exploding capacitors, or they are filling the data centre with someone's off order book units, or something else completely. Who knows? Bitcoinorama might :-) When did you pay for your miner (Sorry if you already said this and I missed it)? Looks like they are up to June 19th Pay date (Most orders for ASIC Miners are made within the first week or two so it will likely be going much quicker. On the "KnC Skype Group" someone just said they picked up their order from KnC, they are definitely shipping units out. |

No need they did it for me, lol Like the old saying goes a picture says a thousand words  I blame it on Snowden. He sensitized the establishment such that now it overreacts. Let's say a govt agency known for snooping asks _that_ miner manufacturing company (won't be named) to let the agency copy all emails and orders from customers because of a potential terrorist threat, the use of BTC to finance terrorism. They agree and feel now they can rest assured they'll be smiled upon in any lawsuit because behind the scenes it will be known they help the good guys. Not good as their ethics are questionable. They see competition (KnC) is going to kicktheirass. Meeting at a European Bitcoin Conference, a spokesman for _that_ miner manufacturing company, gets the ear of KnC reps and hints what they're doing. Since Sweden works agreeably with that US agency on many matters, KnC takes it as a hint they should follow suit to assist the good guys. But, delays have nothing to do with helping the good guys. Delays are the stock in trade of _that_ questionable US miner manufacturing company and leads KnC people astray. The motive is greed and to cause an impediment to KnC success. There's a brown to the lower dirt there. From NY, the dirt on LI, except at the shore or out east, was a deep rich dark soil loaded with earthworms. Early in this planet's history there was a collision with another, smaller, planet and the moon was formed. I'm convinced the dirt down here in the south is from that alien planet. It's red as Mars, lies dense as red brick, and has a thin layer of top soil completely unlike anything on LI. This has to be alien what I'm living on. What's up north is the real earth.
Sounds like SR closure didnt prevent you from scoring... |

Bargraphics, don't you have about 10 miners that you need to tend to, (or prior posts to delete) instead of telling all of us who don't to chill out?
Bitcoinorama, the truth has a certain scent to it, as does bullshit. Avenger is not the one with the stink. You're not helping anything or anyone.
If anyone needs to STFU it's those who think we should just bend over and take it.
11 Miners and no, they are happily hashing away in the KnC Datacenter. (over 111 coins so far as a very happy Day 1 Customer) T-Minus 5 minutes until this post self destructs. |

News just in from sources in Sweden.
Production factory closes at 10pm every night and is closed over the weekend.
No wonder they are still pissing around turning out 70/day.
The guys at the end of the queue ain't gonna see diddly squat for weeks.
Your above post is more FUD, you have no source in Sweden, neither do you have an order. Marcus has been back in the factory since Saturday. The chips as well documented arrived on a Sunday to that very factory. Oh, you are back for more. Let's me fire up the typewriter mr knc shill. P.S. Taking a delivery does not mean full production is happening. You'd know that if you were an engineer. I'm well aware of what production involves, and it does happen over the weekend, why would Marcus need to be present for a delivery? Who are you working for? What's your real agenda?? You're not a customer, and you certainly have no sources. I'm back for nothing, you're just continuing to espout unsubstantiated BS. No doubt you have some evidence to support your source, and...an order number?  If it isn't obvious by now, He ordered late, is watching the hashrate go sky high (Like anyone with half a brain knew would happen if KnC Started shipping) and is trying to scratch/tear/FUD his way into making people try to get refunds or not order anymore units so maybe his units will be able to hash a little longer. It is pretty pathetic at this point. For anyone that still think KnC isn't shipping/hasn't shipped many units/etc... Check out the Eligius pool. Only everyone over 1TH is hashing with KnC Units and there are a ton of ~500GH units. Check out the KnC Team on BTCGuild hashing away at over 17TH now Check out the KnCPool portal.kncminer.com that is at over 33TH That's well over 100TH that is plainly visible to see (200 Jupiter units right there) and Orama said they dispatched over 1000 last week - How many units have been dispatched.
I was told around 1,000 last week when I stated this in the forum. Stop listening to the mad dog "Avenger" that's frothing at the mouth and use common sense with verifiable information that is in front of you. |

Please do everyone a favor and don't, the only people buying the FUD you are peddling are non-customers and people who ordered late and are now wondering why the hashrate is rising so quickly (Hint it's because KnC is delivering). Give it a rest, regardless if you are a customer or not, you definitely have some type of chemical imbalance that needs to be addressed asap. |

fappity.
Man every time I look at the difficulty estimations, it goes up 1-2 million every few hours. We might blow past 270 million easily for the next change...somebody keeps turning BitFury cards on or something...KnC and BFL are having shipping problems again...it's gotta be primarily BitFury.
Next up, hashfast and cointerra...lol
Mining is dead.
https://ghash.io/ Bitfury was at 475TH/s earlier today...they're 25% of the damn network! Mining is dead when it's just business's mining and it's just going to get much worse in the next 3-4 months. Sucks They were 300TH yesterday when I looked at that site. Wow. So it is Bitfury then causing this. That's really damn greedy. Hey buzzdave...chill out. That is a private pool that MANY people are mining on. Not just one company.... |

For those of us who are still contemplating on keeping their shares, will IceDrill be doing direct shares since as a US Citizen I cannot keep my shares on Bitfunder after Dec 2nd.
Yes, our handling of direct shares is a necessity and should be considered a given. On Dec 2nd we'll be given a list of bitcoin addresses and their relevant share holdings. Exactly how we'll handle this share transfer will be made crystal clear well before that date (it's a current priority item). Ok great, accompanied with the following I am feeling much better about this situation. Thank you guys for attempting to make this terrible situation bearable . Please note we did state that 15 October would be a deadline for a decision. This really only applies for the non-hosted option of taking delivery yourself. If you host it with us, the re-routing of the hardware is obviously unnecessary.

Without knowing the die size of ActM's chips it will be hard to know just how many chips per Wafer.
We have no idea how many wafers were ordered.
This all being said, ActM only need ~65,000 chips to mine at a Petahash if their chips are 16GH/s
That honestly isn't that much considering ASICMiner must be using at least 100,000 of their chips to mine with and they consume much more power than these will.
If ActM does have a working chip at 16GH/s then I suspect we will be fine. Since eASIC is doing the work to make sure this chips is working I have little doubt that the chip won't be working.
The high estimates I've heard from some of the larger players in the mining game is 30PH come the end of February. That would still be a little over 3% of the network even then not to mention all the sales that they will have advertising an actual working product.

You also lost potential return if you used the funds to purchase the BTC you would have an even greater return in $ if you sold those higher then what you purchased them. Case and point. Picked up 175 BTC at $86 USD the other day could of sold them today for $142 USD but instead bailed out a friend at $123 usd. Who do I sue for not buying Google Stock when it was low and selling it now for a profit? Someone has to pay! |

Of course I left some things out. His quote of the (copy pasted with huge letters) terms of service and bullshit regarding them reserving my place in the queue while I "funded" the remaining VAT and this little marvel:
"When looking at the entire picture of this order I find that there are no grounds for you to demand any form of compensation at all and as such we will not offer any form of compensation in this case."
Oh great you left out the part that this is just you, instead letting people imagine it is a general blanket thing applying to everyone. Nice trolling. -MarkM- Honestly, I'm not sure what else you expected with the biggest fussers in this thread. Nice, calling me a troll. How about you post something substantial instead of posting some insults. As I recall, you got 11 miners bargraphics? Try imagined you still not had them hosted. What would you do? It is a general blanket thing, but you would know that if you had read my first post regarding his answer instead of fucking around MarkM. Also, he has to directly deny my claim for compensation, not only deny it in general. But you would know that if you had any kind of knowledge regarding trade law. Whoa relax, I'm sorry you are so taken back by being called a "Fusser". If my order was a Day 1 or Day 2 and I still did not have them hosted, I would call and talk with a KnC Rep (Which I did when they were not hosted for 5 days). I used courtesy not immediate threats and my voice was heard. If you are not a day 1 or 2 then your not due til October 15th after which you try to make a case for compensation. However I would be very interested in hearing a court case about you receiving a unit that "Prints Money" and because it is late you will not "Print enough money to pay for the machine". actually, that was meant for MarkM  Fusser is perfectly fine by me. I actually talked with them several times and was always lied right into my face (by lack of a better analogy). Being told my order is in progress and will be shipped in the next few days... Calls were made on the 2nd, 5th and 8th. first they told me the order would be in shipped Wednesday or Thursday, so I expected it on the 4th. On the 5th I called them several times, but as Orama stated they DO NOT WORK on weekends. On the 8th my final call was made and was answered with they had some problems but ramped up production and I could expect my order to be shipped Thursday (the 10th). As repeatedly stated I am a day 2, and also as stated before I would have no problems whatsoever if my Order was an October order. And the court case would be more along the lines of me having lost the opportunity to generate an amount of btc and having to buy that amount in real money. It is not a money printing machine, it's more of a "mining equipment". And try imagining a courtcase where a coal mining company lost revenue because their new giant dirt eating monster unit was delivered 2 weeks late. I think their chances would stand pretty good, don't you think? That's fine, You definitely have a reason to be upset but honestly posting on this forum isn't going to help you. You would be better off just calling again and being courteous because most companies will immediately shut you out if you start flinging threats of litigation at them. They are working through this so we'll see if there would be compensation. You would have to argue that BTC is a commodity that you are selling as a business, I guess if you could prove that maybe. |

Well, that escalated quickly. But seriously, Who would give you their exact Order number and other private infos? After what BFL did regarding forced refunds for too loudly voiced opinions?
No one's going to force refund anyone, you have my word, and I have never lied to anyone here. He is not a customer. Careful, he will say you force refunded him just to smear your name, provide zero proof of this happening, and then the loonies on this thread will try to lynch you. Since you did not quote anything of my last post regarding your inquiry I gather you were satisfied with it? Sure, I have a feeling you didn't quote Sam's entire response though. (Sorry for nitpicking ) Of course I left some things out. His quote of the (copy pasted with huge letters) terms of service and bullshit regarding them reserving my place in the queue while I "funded" the remaining VAT and this little marvel: "When looking at the entire picture of this order I find that there are no grounds for you to demand any form of compensation at all and as such we will not offer any form of compensation in this case."

Please note this proposal will necessarily have an execution deadline of midnight 15 October (UTC) in order to ensure ample notice for delivery re-routing, as required.
It seems time is running out, Can we have an update of our current options or if there were any modifications/changes to existing options? We are finalizing the conversion to Hardware option and we are also working on finalizing a second option. A update will be out soon. //DeaDTerra Thank you |
