Thanks. Then it may be the voltage in filtering. Building a buck converter to drop voltage from 16.5 to 12 for a zTex, the requirements were a low ESR cap very near the input leads of the buck converter. So, the 12v in rail has low ESR capacitors that remain in place even tho the VRM are turned off.
I was wondering about that since the caps, etc around the removed VRMs are also removed from the 4 VRM boards. I'm not so sure that's the case. Looking at my one module I see what I think is an empty VRM spot near the "1" and there is a row of caps there. I have the one miner that has both boards in it for comparison ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Using 0.95 or 0.96 will save me more than $5.50 per month only if I get the same hashrate and WU.

I'm not going to add the caps now as after a 7+mile jog and that it's late afternoon and that I'm getting on in years, I'm more likely to make a mistake. Maybe tomorrow after lunch before a run.

Jupiter weighs exactly 10 kg. Dimensions fit exactly or even too tight for hand baggage limits of ryanair if you bubble wrap it three times. So be aware of your luggage limits... and ryanair... and damn stockholmish prices for taxi (15 kms are 60 EUROS) ... Bus from skavsta airport to city terminal will cost you 16 GBP. It is faster to walk to knc office from terminal, took me 15 mins tops, 1.2 km walk with GPS navigator. and damn bloody cold out there -1 to +4 I appreciate London's weather after that =) Was a nasty surprise! ![Shocked](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/shocked.gif) And a huge mental and physical stress for entire day and night. Almost certain that one or more fan covers will fall off or be loose, you must check insides before switching on your gadget! LOL exact same experience. I put mine into cargo came out with three fans off. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

Can anyone assist me?
Im trying to bridge the ethernet connection on my computer so I can login to my Mercury unit. But I dont know what IP to hit in order to get into the config.
So say I directly connect my Jupiter to my laptop via ethernet, does anyone know what IP the machine will try to assign itself and what Windows might give it. Say if I try to bridge ethernet to ethernet?
EDIT: I kept trying random IPs found within Wireshark. Now my only issue is how do I tell if the damn thing is working? It says its running but I dont think the Slush pool is getting any work received. I hate this machine so much already.

1. undo the bridge go to your connection properties on the laptop(of the actual internet connection, not ethernet), and turn DHCP ON under the ipv4 settings. assign it an ip address. 2.download advanced ip scanner, and prep it to scan the range you just used on the laptop. 3. cold start the miner. 4. Run the IP Scanner.. it will show knc after it finds it...takes about 30 seconds. you will need to scroll down the list to find it. If it doesnt show right away, scan again right away. once you have the IP, type it into chrome address bar, use admin/admin, and go directly to the networking page to program your IP in before anything else, or you will have to sniff it out all over again if you reboot for any reason. IMPORTANT: remember to turn DHCP OFF (uncheck the box)on the miners GUI Networking page before you attempt to save the info.

Have a couple questions..1) I see people talking about setting stuff at 256 or 512 no idea what my Jupiter is setup as nor what this means?
2) if you do the remote access of knc miner (not putty and shh) how do you get in remotely same settings as putty?
sorry no info on manual on remote access on knc setup screen 1.0 nor what 256/512? means for a cgminer setting?
thanks noob

Old Style Legacy Plug & Play BBS System. Get it from www.synchro.net. Updated 1/1/2021. It also works with Windows 10 and likely 11 and allows 16 bit DOS game doors on the same Win 10 Machine in Multi-Node! Five Minute Install! Look it over it uninstalls just as fast, if you simply want to look it over. Freeware! Full BBS System! It is a frigging hoot!:)

Time for some ASIC Porn. Case for 3 sats... access door inside house picture
inlet fan side... you can see the 3 naked ladies... no case fans inside picture
During the day, it's push-pull, using both fans at night, only the inlet fan on bottom is needed picture
the board separates the units from the exhaust picture
It seems the air given to the miners comes directly from outside. Aren't you afraid about humidity when it's raining ? speaking of humitiy i'm in the Midwest (winter is coming) but what is the humidly you should set your bsmt dehumidifier at if you are running electronic equip like the miners in your unfinished bsmt? approx. temp prob will stay around 62 degrees F.

You should have made about 6.7 with that amount of hashpower. If you do have 8 in your wallet, then nice work!

These VRM's I've been reading for the last hour about on here...are those the square metal objects sitting on the module board usually with a white sticker on them?

Yes. Supposedly the boards with 8 of them allow for more extreme overclocking than ones with 4.

Ah now I know why they didn't want devs to have them. Coz then we'd have reason to abuse them about the crap way they deal with LP. Seriously? Lose 10 seconds of mining on an LP? Seriously? Do these KFC guys even understand what an LP is and the fact that they really are important to handle quickly? Sorry, this was a total WTF to me once I understood what they are doing on LP. Dare I say, I offered to provide "design considerations" and that 10s sure as hell would have been one I would have told them to NOT do https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=294499.0 ... Edit: FYI at the current ~34% difficulty increase estimate at the moment, that 10s is more than 2% of your mining time. (or on p2pool more than 33% of your mining time ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif) )
