That was 5% yesterday?

Edit: Time for another told-ya-so 

So only another few day until June and then we'll see how KNC start fucking their remaining morons customers. They've had so much time to plan this, you can assume they have some dastardly shit planned to screw their "loyal morons customers"

Order some of this to prepare 

[RawDog]

I think they must be burning in everyone's Neptunes before shipping next week.  Holy shit!  That is a bunch of new Hash power hooked up to the network.

Their neighbours are gonna be PISSED at these new boards!!

Server Hall addresses the noise
14:05 | 14-05-20 Comment

Noise from KNC Miners server room in Constance has given disgruntled neighbors.

- We will improve the sound level, says CEO Andreas Kennemar.

Several local residents have complained that the silence disappeared in the neighborhood since the server room moved.

That's funny - I've got ten of them on the way now!  Already ordered the grease too!  

Now what do you think dickhead?

^^^ THAT is funny ^^^

Noob, 10 Neptunes, Grease, Profanity all in one post.

...said the wanna be Neptune owner.  Keep wishin' buddy!  Maybe put up a donation address so someone will give you a few satoshis on your way to saving up for one.

Noob, meet OKAVNGR: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=170332.msg7442111#msg7442111

Yeah Avenger, I took you off of ignore because the lube post was so timely. Keep up the good work.

anyone have a idea of why a controller would all a sudden ramp up volts on vrms? I've tried everything i can think of to try n get this module back up n running...and its not the module cause i swapped it out for another and same problem...all i did was rearrange to a new setup and now i have this problem...tried different plug on psu..tried different psu all together...the spot that is messing up is a new solder connector to make it a 6 mod controller...even redid the solder and no dice...what could i have done to piss it off?

I can get 3 cores to stay on @ 1000mhz and -0.1245...but the 4th will ramp up volt turn off, come back on at half then after a bit ramp back up n turn off etc...that seems low volts for 1000mhz and no cores are off...if i try a higher OC it'll go back to usually 2 ramp up n 2 work fine...it'll also flip which 2 work or ramp...the higher the oc the faster the ramp up n shut off...it was fine at 0x335 n 0.000 volts I just don't get it...it was working fine for few weeks anyone? I'll tip ya if i get working module again...oh even tried different wire too...wish i had another 6 module nov. jup to try it out

also get fault 16 n fault 81 on bertmod sometimes...but i don't see how it could be the module since i've tried a different one

So I enabled the cloud hashing option on 2 CA batch Nepture orders that are already "In progress". I guess that was a retarded thing to do?

Note: I don't really want another 2 Neptunes in August, but now I am thinking they may be worth something on eBay.

Yes it was, but you're not alone lots of us did, especially before they added the warining about what they are doing

Good news is they will reverse the decision if you email them.

Is anyone having problems with Neptune's shutting down due to thermal issues or is this yet more FUD being spread by haters and envious ne'er do wells towards KNC ?

Anyone who? Only 1 Neptune is in the wild!

I figured you'd be lurking somewhere nearby RoadStress … you are never late to a KNC FUD party and your merry band 'o gentlemen can not be far behind. Now that we have OKAVNGR and RS in play, where is the raskul when you need him ?

If we want to start discussing bitcoin miners that you could cook breakfast on, lets start with that howler the SP10.

Thanks for the heads up on some of the trolls to watch out for. As a new member and soon-to-be Neptune owner, I have found this to be a "Wild West" forum for someone like myself. Just here looking for some straight info that might be of benefit to me, and to make a few sincere posts of my own

By Wild West you mean differing opinions? Yes, we have those here. You can choose which to believe. This forum is a good forum and you have a lot of technical people here with various backgrounds that can help you if you have a question. Welcome to the forum from the Ho Ho Troll.

I noticed as well that the aluminum plate isn't touching all the VRM's with the same pressure.

What is the thickness of the thermal pad between the VMR's and the aluminium plate ? 0.5mm, 1mm or 1.5mm ?
it's possible to replace the thermal pad and put a thicker one.

It's more like 5 mm.  So already thick.

I have no idea how far into 'tweaking' you tolerate but,,,

On previous boards if you overtighten the heatsink it causes the board to bow (curve)
You might put a screw driver on the holddown screws and try adjusting while observing the VRM gap.

One must assume that KnC uses unskilled drunken illeagal aliens for assembly labor and plan accordingly.
If the plate is thick enough to hold a bend, it might be bent to match the curve of the board.

Optimally use seperate hold down for main heatsink and contact VRM heatsink directly on VRM's.
(IE: buy standard heatsink holddown for Intel LGA115x)
(Assumes the hole pattern is still 75mm)

Could also glue copper washers to top of VRM as spacers and remove or thin foam spacers.
(J.B. Weld is common thermally conductive high temp epoxy, else Artic Cool makes a thermal adhesive)
Foam is a shitty heat conductor.

Another easy tweak is to add M3  male x M3 female hex standoff to raise board for better bottom of board cooling.

A plug and pray nightmere, a HW tweakers eye twinkle

YMMV


P.S do not glue VRM directly to heatsink as FrankenHoopiter customers have posted pictures showing the covers are not mechanical stress tolerant except in the down direction.

KnC now up to 12%
No ROI

when did they add the warning?! and what is it about?

Graphic = KnC at 7% of total hashrate

They found 22 blocks today at 25 btc a block * 600usd = $330,000 today * 30 days in a month = $9,900,000 * 12 months/year = $118,800,000. So, no ROI for YOU. For them plenty of ROI.

//edit - numbers were off a bit (looked at 48hr as opposed to 24hr)

we have been ripped and raped again and again by "the most trusted brand in Bitcoin mining"...

[Ronin_sv]

So nobody knows a real situation with litecoing hardware from KnC?

Batch 2, October 30th. Expect it no sooner or you will be disappointed

How do you think is it worth dealing with it? Can it be paid off?

 So you purchased a Neptune before doing any research or had you been lurking in here as a guest?

I like to tweak... that's the fun part of being a Miner (it's not all about ROI, it's a hobby as well or should I say: even more).

I have solved the space between the first VRM and the foam by screwing it down:



By the way: the screw is M5 so the aluminum-plate and heat-foam are even thicker
