I can confirm *on my Sat* that 0.97 is faster then previous firmwares. From 270gh/s to 278gh/s.

Please point to me where the spec says a sat should run at 270-275.

[FiatKiller]

275 is for new orders. When we ordered they only guaranteed 200!  :-D

[plasmoske]

Everyone knows that's exaggeration.

It really should be: minimum:## and maximum:##

Jup says 550+ but average people are getting is about 480-530

But that page is for November. Maybe they'll optimise things by then..

do you need to run enablecores bin file on .97?? Anyone

after upgrading to 0.97 alot of cores were disabled and are now being reactivated one by one

maybe a enablecore.bin would do the same job quicker, i dont know

do you mean disabled by cgminer while running or disable since the beginning (just after the reboot)?

I don't see any satire at all in my posts

Anyone is free to do whatever. Just know there are risks in doing so.

Underperforming miners eh? I thought your 3 were pretty good.

they were 255, 265, and 275
the 255 sat is like a jup at 510... you call that good?
0.97 made it 220
it made the one with 265, now 260
the 3rd, one was 275, is 275

A jupiter above 500 is good.  stop nitpicking.  Even a jupiter running at 480 is considered fully functional.      are we really talking about a 2% change in hash rate and getting upset?

This seems to be what I'm pulling on stock Hash Rate on Mercury does this look good for WU?...right now it's 139GH 2020 WU

Also, I'm curious to know if dropping the stock fan helped at all in terms of hashrate?

Looks low but not as low as mine when running >0.94 firmware.  Here's mine with 0.94.

My best was ssh into miner, shut down cgminer, run 0.94 upgrade, run enablecores.bin, halt, turn off power, maybe press a little on the tops of the vrms but not so hard as to flex the PCB, wait a minute, restart.  Also I have a piece of cardboard in the center of the two front fans between above the fans and down to the base in front of the module(s) forcing air down on the center of the BBB.

guess some folks live to lower standards, and accept things as they are... not me.
If you got hired for a job that advertised 550 a week, and they gave you 510 instead, you'd be ok with that?
or better yet, you simply got a cut in pay, and they call it an upgrade
we have a name for your type around here...sheeple

I'm pissed off now for sure.
.97 SLOWED 2 of 3 SATURNs
wtfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff
enjoy?... yeah, right.

You knew the risks when you chose to update it

If you're not prepared for doom, just leave it the way it is.

The author making the upgrade suggestion is probably running 10 jupiters with the 0.94 firmware in the hosting area getting free power as an employee.

So far my Saturn seems improved in regards to flushwork and WU....I still have a high HW error rate, maybe slightly higher even...but at this point i am happier....30 mins in....will check back later.

recommended. not required.

Your miners were working very well before yet you still decided to tinker with it anyway by updating the firmware.

The main rule of thumb when updating any drivers/firmware for anything is that things can break or go wrong.

I don't really appreciate the satire, especially since the two were underperforming to begin with... so everyone should just not update anything cause you said so, eh? Even when KNC recommends it.. .     I hope it happens to you as well.

Did you try light pressure on the VRM tops of the ASIC performing poorly, but not enough pressure to flex the board threatening to break ball grid array points under the ASIC?  Better to take the board out and place on something flat to prevent flex then press on the VRM tops.  If those tops are heatsinks then better contact improves operation.  Didn't make sense removing the fans on the side of my module improved cores 'till I remembered I did press on the VRM tops.

Well, if you were hired at 400 and expecting to make 550 after tips ....

I see network hashrate that was 3.25PH/s when I looked late yesterday was a moment ago only 2.72 and now is 2.9.  I wonder if it's KnC miner users shutting down and restarting with the new firmware.

KNC Pool (https://portal.kncminer.com/) speed already 70 +TH/s (from about 25 TH/s for 24 hrs ). What it mean?

[chrono030]

Add me to the list of people that are very thankful for the .97 firmware.  Flushwork is a hell of a lot better and my performance increased 20 GH/s to 546 average (536 ish at the pool).
