What makes you think the AX1200i comes with 16AWG cables? I've never seen one with anything other than "type3" 18AWG cables. I've seen quite a few of them as well.

I've also had them melt/smoke/burn spectacularly: http://imgur.com/a/UUpEG

I don't "think" they come with 16AWG; they do.

Again with the scrolling up guys...

I will confirm this for those not in possession of a 1200i or who failed to examine them carefully.

Hi ,

Yes, the warranty period for your order is 12 months.

I believe that you need to RMA this board, I will send this request over to our RMA team to issue you with an RMA number.

Med vänlig hälsning |  Best regards

Please tell me, I get my Titan until the end of the Q3 2014?
And if you do not get it, how long do I wait for a refund?

I have an AX1200i, just stripped one of the cables, and they are 18 AWG.  If I had a microscope w/ a camera, I'd take a picture - the writing is pretty damn small, so my 13 year old son who has 20/20 vision (I wear glasses) confirmed it for me.

I am using the 16AWG cables that came with the AX1200i; the fault is clearly with the KnC "design" and not the cables.

ditto....  the 1200i's we have all have 18awg, while the regular ax1200's we have all have 16awg.  The "i" must stand for "inferior"

"Need to know"  Basics...
Plugging in the pci cable fully can be tricky, as most of the cubes have the pcb mounted about 1mm too low, and the plug tends to catch on the bottom of the hole in the cube. In order to get them to fully plug in FULLY, you must slightly LIFT UP and push in on the pci plug after it first gets a bite for it to fully slide into the plug socket.
If you miss it, and it fails to fully latch, it may indeed melt; especially if your psu employs 16awg wires.
Seeing a single wire on the pci plug begin the meltdown is a sure sign of a poor connection...
and if you use a dab of conductive grease on each pci connection, it will also help make good contact, and avoid all this.
power delivery is 95% on these imho
Plugging and unplugging the pci plugs too much or not gentile can also quickly loosen the connections.

Considering the date of announced titan chip tape out:
 "We achieved tape-out of the 2284-core Titan in early June"
they might be ready mid of September.

Titan refund ?
I'd say you will wait forever..
Didn't you notice "This product is nonrefundable." ?

Get used to be waiting form KNC, and not expecting their news update, but I'm waiting the day Nvidia and AMD release super GPUs in the near future, this will reverse miners back to GPUs again. Cheers!

Depends on the price. Who knows how cheap asics will be when these GPU's come out. Graphic cards have a lot additional components that miners can skip and lower the price.

[poodle63]

According to the newly released spec of GPU, at least 4000 core per chip, or 80 blocks per chip, and later 14nm FF process will enhance further integration of circuit on single die, add 3D IC concept sum of them, a single GPU could perform better than ASIC sooner or later, so exiting about this.

I don't see how a GPU that has a "general" chip can perform better than ASIC chips who knows how to do only one thing, but much better.

Next generation of GPUs will make revolution, all platform and PC structure will change, and led technology to next level, will see~

Hi guys!

The Titans will be?
Something tells me that it is necessary to demand a refund and the Titans.

The Titans will not be a good deal.  New coins don't want to touch Scrypt now.  More Scrypt ASIC's have been pre-ordered than BFL 65nm generation.  Dogecoin is dead.  Too many bagholders desperate for an exit which pumpers won't touch.  Litecoin dying and showing it has nothing special about it.  Scrypt ASIC's will beat down the LTC price hard as people try to break even.

I'm not buying miners any more except for collectors items.  Mining is dead all across the board.  The moment an X11, x13, x15 ASIC is made a new algo to exclude ASIC's is made just as quickly.

Are you seriously still at it??

are you actually trying to deflect criticism of your crew with this ancient crap??

KnC have been a bunch of cunts for almost a full year now, how long until you dwell fully in that bracket?

Did you not bother with reading comprehension, ever?

well frack....I did get the cables from cablez on this thread to beef up the corsair1200i with the Y plug arrangement but likely I will just eat a new power supply and use
the 1200i on some other less finicky baby miner of some sort in the future....( i may mine but it will be for fun and itty bitty miners....www.coindesk.com and just buying
coin from now on ...is looking very 'tranquil' after all this drama with pre-orders etc)

anyway recommend the cablez cables...sturdy...look like they will do the job ..but coward that I am ..hopefully....we will have some kinda consensus on a 'real'
power supply solution before the beasts show up (Titan) at the door ....like a real fix as a novel idea would be nice that over compensates and is hefty enough
a fix to satisfy us all by KNC (hey I can dream right?)

LOL, do not get buried in the wreckage of your future.

If you HAVE the Y adapters and use 2 18AWG PCIe cables you will be OK.
This also helps overcome a limitation with the 1200i 'rails'.

If you inspect your cables you may find,
the cables with 2 PCIe ends have 16AWG to the first PCIe,
and 18AWG to the second.
If you have such cables, only use the first 16AWG connector.

If you do NOT have Y adapters use 16AWG minimum PCIe cables.
2 PCIe @ 16AWG to Y adapters is even better.

YMMV

I am always impressed with how civil and polite tolip is with regards to you guys.

You say "especially if your psu employs 16awg wires" so are you running 14AWG?

You are arrogant and wrong wrong (as usual)... I understand that reading is not your strong suit but here is a photo of one of my AX1200i PCI-e cables:

You can't argue with this photographic evidence but I look forward to seeing you try.
