Will a Saturn be able to upgrade-able to 6 modules if it has the slots for them on the main board?

Join question.

Also very interested in hearing official information about Jupiter support for 5-6 modules.

This is the reply I received in 16-10-2013. But Cyber tested and it works.

Hi,

1) The firmware does have safety measures for temperature of the ASIC and an auto shut down if the temperature gets too high.
2) The temperature displayed on the web interface is that of the ASIC.
3) Some controller boards do have 6 ports and this was due to different batches of boards. We do not have any individual boards for sale and the boards are not programmed to run six modules.

If you have further questions please do not hesitate in contacting us.

Yep, hashing like a boss:

Did your board already have the 5th/6th pin headers or did you have to solder them?

Does anyone know if it is OK to connect 2 of my modules from Jupiter 1 to Jupiter 2. I will move just the ribbon data cables over, so Jupiter 2 has 6 modules connected to it, but 2 of these are still powered by Jupiter 1 PSU.

Anyone?

I am sure you'll eventually try it, so let us know how it goes!  I am suprised you have a board that actually supports 6 connections, my day 1 jup only has 4.

I just did. 6 boards using all 6 connection, using 1 V850 PSU.

Damn! if I had the 6 ribbon version vs the 4 ribbon version on my Jupiter I'd be tempted to get at least 1 upgrade module...(unless someone has already mod'd a port on the beast ..doubtful)

well to those who CAN upgrade a Jupiter good for you I guess (do no grind teeth with envy...smile....swallow tummy backwash due to rage)...

I think they are really designed for Mercury and Saturn owners rather than Jupiter owners.


Yea, I know.  =(  As always, KNC gives you just enough information to create a bunch of false assumptions and countless questions.  



 

I can see Phoenix1969 all over this deal.   (funny, someone else just posted about Phoenix)  hahah





He said he was running out of money ..... much lamenting on forum soon about such I suspect.

have you tried it with 6 boards? what were your results?

I have them on both my Jupiters.

have you tried it with 6 boards? what were your results?

Yes, it works, but because I have under-performing boards my results will not be good.

still looking to buy some btc, let me know if anyone can help.

How are you proposing to pay?

[Phoenix1969]

And where will we find the upgrade modules? At the mining hardware section at the webpage?

Noob question.  

That's like 3am my time.....ug.

its short notice so paypal or interac money transfer. i know its not ideal, but I'm sure a couple guys on here can verify I'm no scammer....

I ordered 2 Nov Jupiters, and am hoping to squeeze in a board or two before they are gone, as the btc come in...you understand.

Hi,

Bitcoinorama, do you happen to know if the upgrades will be available for a Jupiter unit hosted with KNC?

Thanks!

[opentoe]

Noob question.

Doesnt' say if need to but our own heatsink also. KNC Loves to throws these little costs to the customers.

uh stop your trolling. orama said it comes with everything including the heatsink.

Are you serious dude?

[ASIC-K]

once again, i failed to read properly.

[DeathAndTaxes]

Do these modules come with the heatsinks, right? And the that special data cable we will need.

Heatsink, no, it's readily available, and not worth the shipping cost to you to have it globally couriered from Stockholm to country X. It's a heavy thing to ship for something that's approx £30 online.
Cables, PCI-E extension leads, screws, and that blank aluminium pieces that affixes the heatsink to the board, ya.

Since the HSF is widely available I assume that any standard size cooler would fit, correct?  How about something like this?

No, that won't work.
Besides, the arctic i30 already overcools them....what are you goin' for? superconductivity?

Why pay so much money, when you can have something that works for less?

Be sure to measure carefully.  KNC isn't using the standard 4 CPU mounting holes.  They are using a custom "bar" which attaches to the heatsink, it probably will not fit to every heat sink.  It may not work on anything except that specific heatsink.
