I just got off the phone with UPS. The lady told me that the shipment is very (very) unlikely to be delivered today (Germany) and I shall take this up with KNC (which I just did). The sender is the only one able to get UPS to investigate the issue. She said it seems the paperwork got shipped but the actual boxes were left behind.
It's sad that KNC has not already responded to the issue (it's noon in Sweden). Their decision to not sending the upgrades out Friday will result in half a week of lost mining. All I can say to this (from the bottom of my heart) is: Thank you SO much KNC. You really, REALLY rock. This is by far the fairest solution for all miners.
Totally unrelated: Congrats to those who decided not to trust KNC with the delivery and pick the boards up locally. I should have done the same.
Yep, that plane ticket to Stockholm - best purchase ever  My upgrade modules have been mining for the past 18 hours:   I just got off the phone with UPS.

Because this is KnC's fault, how?! ALL boxes were collected by UPS yesterday. They took them all in plastic packaging crates. UPS arrived here at 4pm. The boxes were ready, so no delay from us whatsoever. I can confirm this. Saw them leaving by the hundreds with at least 3 UPS guys and many plastic boxes |

Actually it was a gamble based on different things. I knew atleast one other was going and some coments from orama about all modules ship on same day, pretty sure monday was mentioned. No pre info for pickup customer more than others  My gamble payed off  good luck to all in this ghs war! Actually I asked for written confirmation Thursday last week when I called. I asked for an email to make sure I don't for nothing. |

Anyone else going to Stockholm today? I am almpst there and realy hope the modules are ready today. Long drive for nothing iftthey are not ready for some reason. Exited like a kid again!
Yes, me. I am at London Stansted, waiting at the gate to be boarded. Expert to be at Knc offices at around 13.30 local time. |

Actually I sat in a room one Saturday with General Electric's Critical Power Specialist who flew in specifically to address the issue, i'd wager he knows what he's talking about and the HX has fried components at a with a statistically significant reason for concern according to other posts on the internet. It's not solely limited to KnC boards.
Let me get this straight. A GE engineer claimed the problem wasn't caused by GE hardware, but by some other company's product? Do you see why people would question the results of this "test"? How about you fly in a Corsair engineer and get his opinion? Exactly my thought. |

Top of this page opentoe.
Got it, thanks. I thought the ribbon cable had to be exact what is being used now. There are like 20 different variations of this cable and then it asks if you want 2 way, 3 way, 4 way, 6 way, etc.....how would I know. I wonder how Cyper ended up knowing which exact cable to get. By using his head  You just look at the original cables and make 2+2.
I cannot remember exactly how many pins the control board connectors have, what is it 10 or 12? All you have to do is look at what is currently in your miner. That part is pretty straight forward.
The part that amazes me is the length of the cables that Cyper is using without signal loss. I'm no EE but I would love to hear how that works.
I don't know why, but it works and see no reason why it shouldn't. It's a data cable and we are not talking about 100m here, which again might be OK. If those are two Jupiters, why not use them as is?
I see 2 control boards there.
I believe he said that certain modules are happier with certain firmware versions. He has a different version running on each control board. Some have the die0 issue and some don't. Correct. The 2 in front on the right are under-performing and are being exchanged in person on Monday. If those are two Jupiters, why not use them as is?

But the whole thing is meant to screw thru the aluminum blank to the case it looks like. Nothing to screw into under the board I guess... Are those aluminum blanks hollow? I'll have to be careful with the size of a bolt I guess underneath so it doesn't cross anything.
argh...
Does this help?  Yeah it is underneath that board that I am confused by. It screws thru the aluminum blank into tiny little mystery donuts. Glad I'm thinking about this now. Bogart has 1 module reserved if I can't use it. ASIC-K, you want some? The ASIC board is connected to the aluminium bottom by 2 screws/bolts only even though there are 4 holes (not enough time to put all 4  ). I am also interested if you want to sell Apparently that guy on the KnC forums got 6 running on a controller board. How long has that been running like that I wonder? I am a different guy running 6 boards for around 2 days now. |

Thanks.
So there is no aluminum plate to go underneath? Is what Phoenix said a concern? What is safe to let the board rest on while hashing?
Well one would imagine that being an owner of a Saturn or a Mercury, i.e. the two purchasers these were directed towards you should have space available in your case... I thought we could fill all 6 modules in a Jupiter? Not officially... Then I'll have some for sale if they don't work I guess. Man communication around here is ass. Are you kidding?! Nobody ever said that 6 boards fit into one case! It was never stated these were only for Saturn and Mercury here... https://www.kncminer.com/news/news-64I have 2 open slots on my controller board. What else am I supposed to think? Indeed you are supposed to think and just use your brain and look inside your case. Where the f... should there be enough space to fit 6 boards? A motherboard doesn't need to be in a computer case to work. Sounds like you've answered your own question buddy... The question remains, can I fasten the fan/heatsink to the board? You can, but you better use something under the board for better security. Preferably using spacers. |

O'rama, can you lay out the contents of everything we're getting in a box? Surprised this hasn't been done yet.
It has been done at least twice already. |

Thanks for clearing that up I was wondering why it said ASIC #6 but couldnt understand OP on the KnC forums.
It says ASIC #6 because a module is connected there. But yes, it is a Jupiter with 6 modules connected. is that your jupiter at eligius cyper? No, mine is at Bitminter. |

Place your bets if KNC would agree to sell me an empty aluminium case so I can provide a good home for my Upgrade modules.
What do you think is a fair price?
Bring 50Eur cash and drop on the counter. Should get near wholesale, since it's a hassle free transfer? Or.... ask for a scratch and dent -- for free, or 25. I see a couple there with the front sections bent over. Try and get one of them. OK, I will try to sneak when they are not looking and put one in my pocket undetected |
