Alright, my code rewrite for DCDC implimention is completed I think =P...
Itll be testing on my rig for a while, the changes are up on github.
I will be making a new release after this proves working correctly, with the new release ya'll get to test out my "upgrade" button on the STATUS page ... =)


Maybe next Ill come up w/ an autotune setup on all dies, for best voltages & clocks.... but that would be a huge undertaking =P, not sure how many people would use / want that.

This might require some modified input cables that fit the larger capacity so I envision some modified Y cable like KnC Supplied with the new connector to fit into the molex plug and the 2 whips to fit into our standard power supply plugs

[vegasguy]

Great suggestions. Thanks for your input. Im already using thicker gauge wire in my Y connectors, but the main fault lies in the male PCI-E plug. Thats were most of the heat generates.

Anyway hardware updates:

Ive fixed so many cubes, I think my hands are going to fall off. Most people are reluctant to ship their cubes to me , and I dont blame them. It could be that they dont want to be without them, or dont want to incur the expensive shipping , or risk having them damaged in shipping. As I am the only person that I know of that can repair them, and even make them stronger than factory, I am getting so many cubes, im having a hard time keeping up. So Ive made some decisions that I think you guys are going to like.

Im going to start a manual that will include everything I know about repairing titan cubes. Ive put in a few hundered hours with these things. Most of it initially was all trial and error as there is no information about them on the internet, and Kncminer read the same old script when you call for support that says to tighten the single screw near the exhaust. blah, blah balh. I Tried that on 11 different cubes and it does NOT work, not once. Total lies. No surprise there. The same 11 cubes Ive repaired MY WAY to fully working order with MUCH lower temps and full voltage, no more .8v (dead dies). They are actually not dead by the way, they are idle. More on this in the manual. This manual will be the "master manual of titan cube repair". It will be massively detailed. The good news is , the repairs are very simple once you know what to do. There are about 10 different parts you will need that might cost under $100 total. The manual will include LOADS of pictures and some videos. The manual will have links to purchase the exact parts youll need. Initially I will be emailing the manual to our paid premium customers as a reward for early adopters and supporting us. I encourage those that receive the manual to please comment here on what your results were, good or bad. Im confident that youll be able to fix all of your cubes with the information contained. I respecfully ask, that you do NOT reveal the contents that are in this manual as I have spent hundreds of hours of testing to figure all of this out. You may comment on your results, and your opinion about the quality of the manual. Later down the road, it may become a separate paid item, not sure yet. I will be constantly updating the manual and will email a new version as it comes out. I have not started the manual yet as I needed to be positive that what I was doing was working, and that my repairs did not fail in a short time. ALL of my repairs have held, and not failed after the repair. So, I will begin the manual in the next few days, and we should see our first version released in about a month. Its going to be long and VERY detailed. I own 6 sets of titan batch 2, so just before release, I will create a you tube video showing how long my miners have been running (it will be over 24 hours on all of them), then I will go through each miner in the advanced section and show that all of them have low temps, and ALL of them have full voltage. Im seeing around 48C-55C on vrm temps after 24 hours @300MHZ. This will be absolute "proof of repair".

I SOOOOOO want that...


On a side note.. I have 2 dies set to OFF I don't THINK they are completely gone but have had not luck on getting them up in any systematic manner ..if I used your
new (not yet made) mod above ....say just on one cube...you think there is a way to run thru such and see if it takes in some manner with a log file or some such
(or hell just watch it manually) I asked about something like this before and it was a no go....but a best voltages and clocks ..even if i just sit and watch it manually
on one cube may be a work around....(then again I probably don't know wtf I'm talking about ..I don't code)


Irregardless of the silly idea above which likely has nothing to do with what you mean ..I and others here appreciate your efforts


again end of the month i get paid and you get some btc

(that and the fact I can see my miners again.........so lonely)

Where to buy the premium version? Only on Ebay? Very intrested in the hardware manual, have 4 titan rigs and multiple cubes with different kinds of problems with some dies...

Hey GenTarkin, what are your thoughts on starting a new thread with links on the OP? Seems that our links and information is splintered throughout this thread. That way we can update the OP with latest information and latest links to free and premium. Let me know your thoughts. Anyone else is welcome to chime in.

Yeah, it would most likely be a second script designed for tuning only of specific dies. I havent even thought about how to impliment yet and it would be a very hard thing to code up since there are so many operating variables of these miners, also its a one time thing, it tunes and its done. So, it doesnt have any long term headache savings. So, I may or may not get around to coding such mechanism, who knows. LOL! But, Ill keep everyone apprised.

Im up for it, but the last time I posted a new topic regarding my firwmare(in the beginning) ... it was moved out of this forum and into altcoin/mining, and in there it just went ignored, so I chose not to persue a new topic. Since the mods are obviously being retarded about my firmware, or something... no idea why they moved the topic. Whatever.

[TheRealSteve]

Possibly because the KnCMiner Titan is a piece of hardware designed for mining altcoins?  As it is, this thread should probably be split, but this mix of company/bitcoin/scrypt hardware is what happens when companies retain a single all-encompassing thread.

Yeahp, so its hard to really advertise in this section I guess, but then again many that have Titans, browse this section... so w/e LOL!

[vegasguy]

We could post in both?

[KNCFUN]

I read on one of the threads this:

I have removed the aluminum plate, so now I can see the Ericsson VRM's..... this is bad: they are the BMR4641002 (max 40A) instead of the BMR4641008 (max 50A).  :mad: ...... no OC possible !

The 1002 has a OverCurrentProtection of 48A and looking to my Advanced-page: nearly all the VRMs are already around 46-47A (and this is KnC's default setting).
They should have used the 1008 instead, which has 50A and an OCP of 62A.

So my question is how difficult would it be to replace the VRM on the board with BMR4641008 (max 50A)? Is this something that can be done with a soldering iron , or does it require a special machine like a reball machine? Is it JUST the top chip or the entire board underneath that VRM chip too?

Vegas where can I find (buy) BMR4641008/203 ?

[GenTarkin]

So, today I was monitoring writes being made to the SD card while the rig is running, and it had a consistent average of 2.5KB/s being written. I set out to find out what was doing this, turns out its lighttpd's access log piling up into a gigantic log when ur actually just sitting at the webgui idle.
Ive turned the access log off to conserve the SD card. Would this be a mod anyone want me to put into next release at all? Or do yall prefer the logging to be on?
Let me know.

[vegasguy]

My vote turn logging off.

What's the log used for? for KNC when it's rma'd? what info in it?

[Tigggger]

It seems like an ideal thing to have a check box for (and a 'view log' button maybe). 

Most of the time you'd want it off but if tweaking or new firmware or issues tick the box to see whats happening
