About the inside of the box?

[frankenmint]

I didn't do any mods except leave my top off the box and use it as an impromptu mining table for my new mercury and tons of extra metal.  There is no extra cooling going on.  but if I took my 140*4 that would avg 560 GH still?  I get it that there is more airflow needed to keep the heatsinks cool...but if the case is open then open air should still be adequate right?

yep, u removed your lid right ?

No, it's with closed box. I think the lid has to be on to get some air pressure inside.

On the other hand I've removed the two blades from the lid.

I'll open it and shoot some pics.

Hi trepex as usual great info shared here if you don't mind you could share also your modified ASCII version of asic_test.pl?

I've noticed you did change fans for the internal heatsink and that the new one are positioned lower than the original, did you considered the DPoS way?

which is why I lowered the fans to get 5-7C cooler  

anyway did you notice any increase in hashrate due to lower temp?

I will try to get an OK for publishing my (ugly) modified perl script to display the temperature and active cores.
That's the only information I really used for manual tuning at the moment.
I did ask the author (in the KnC forum) if he could publish an ASCII (terminal) version of his tool, never received
an answer there.

My fan had been loose inside that black "cover", the screws you see did nothing! Just decoration!
That had been fine with the original setup, in my setup it would not work. That's why I did use the pure
fans. There is one screw that holds the fan from sliding away from the heatsink. The rubber band (must
find 2 more to have a redundant rubber band installation) does the rest.
I think the asic heatsink is oversized (that's good!) and the cooling for the VRMs is undersized. That's why
I tried to get more airflow on the VRMs and a little bit less on the heatsink.
The additional fans on the side help cooling the heatsink.

Performance:

It looks like my performance did go up (average Gh/s over >12h) from
260-265 (no modding, case closed)
265-269 (case open, 2 fans on the side)
269-272 (case open, 2 fans on the side, 1 fan on top)
272-275 (current setup, 90min average only)

[The Avenger]

Are those lying fucks at KNC going to give us a "daily" update today??? It's Wednesday and if I'm not mistaken that means we should be on our third update this week by now.

I guess because they lied last week about the "3-5 days behind" on production (day 6 now), they have gone back to head in the sand mode. Pathetic.

Today I'm down 8BTC since they failed to ship by 15th October. That'll be 9BTC tomorrow. I'll never see that back, unless KNC man-up and compensate the people they are in the process of screwing.

If they are compensating the guys who they screwed on the hosting, why is it any different to compensating they guys they are screwing on their falsely advertised shipping dates? Why should us individuals take the pain of them over-promising and not delivering? Why don't they accept THEY made a mistake, they fucked up and they are responsible to make good on that?

Another couple of days and the difficulty is due to shoot up again, making our units more and more worthless before they have even arrived. I've been hauled over the coals here financially by dealing with KNC.

But karma is a bitch and if they don't compensate us guys they are screwing right now, it'll all come back to bite them on the ass sooner or later. Hope everyone's conscience is clear as they count their profits.

Above all else we will be fair.

Sam

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Making your customers take it up the ass because you fucked up is not fair.

hohoho my miner go to 800 gh with 0.97

I will await your brave return

Searing

[Xialla]

I will await your brave return

oki returned.) it seems, that they really fixed "flushwork issue", because not it takes ~2sec without any hashrate impact. for real results, you have to wait long hours.)

[ElGabo]

So here are some pics

[Mota]

I got a HW decrease on 1 unit and Stabilizing of Hashrate at 520 from 460.
BUT on another unit HW has nearly doubled with same Hashrate as before.
Strange things happen around me lately.  

[superresistant]

It is so sad that a lot of people didn't received their hardware yet. As a consequence most of them will never get it on time to ROI as the difficulty will be too high.

Just for you to know, my group have 2 working KNC SATURN and we decided to sell them.

may thanks for sharing now I got a clear idea of your modifications

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

... is not fair.

Dear KNC,

If anyone of your staff or CSRs or Engineers are here, I do not at all agree with the above.  Thank you soo much for delivering my Mercury within a relatively short time frame...definitely compared to other vendors.  You guys gave me a unit that has been consistently high with no problems to report at all.  Your unit only took me 5 minutes to get up and running and then, when I upgraded to .96 unlike the naysayers, I like it a lot!  Now that I see .97 in just two days...I'm now stoked (I wasn't really tripping about the flushwork issue so much from the increased hashrate) I don't think that you guys get enough credit and plan to send this to you as an email as well in the high probability that this gets lost in the muck and minutiae.

Keep up the great work!

Frankenmint
