yes, rev 1.0 of my prototyping rats nest.

Looks great, how big is the radiator for this thing and what is that bottle for?

Two 80mm thick, triple 140 radiators. (Alphacool)
https://i.imgur.com/itLOTSL.jpg
(not great radiators, too few fins per inch, overpriced also)
I plan to replace with used truck radiator, whatever fits the fan size.

The bottle is to block air from the middle.
There is much missing in the pic, I don't have open sides.
What is pictured is just as it looked right after I got it and got all PCBs water cooled.
Everything has and will change again soon, major rebuild time approaches.

The PCBs will flip around with all hoses in the center.
I will eliminate as many 90 degree connectors as possible. (a weak point prone to leaks)
New power wires and heat sinks for the VRMs.
I have PCBs for the PSU connectors they did not exist yet when pics were taken.

Still deciding on a case for it,
I'm contemplating a wood cabnet with glass doors.
Or copper pipe and glass for a steampunkish look.
The air flow and air filters design is still fluid also.
I'm looking for a large cool lookin squirrel cage fan to incorporate.
(like what you find in small forced air furnace)

One of the fun things is planning the modding pit stops to be fast as possible.

If I'm lucky I'll get it to look complete once and get pics before changing something.
If I am very very lucky what works well can also look cool.

Where did KnC ever say they'd only mine 5% of the equipment they sold?  Did they really say this?  I can't see anything which says that/

Why are you selling the Miners and don’t mine yourself (will you use the miners for mining yourself)? ▾
We are mining ourselves, but we believe in the bitcoin project and a diversified market is the best for all parties. We will continue to mine but we do not believe in a monopoly of miners. We will not mine with more than 5% of the hash rate we sell, and we will never mine with customer hardware.

i assume KNC cloud is pomzi. since we cant change pools there

Well the GAWminers (physical) are not shipping yet but they are offering FREE hashing till they do ship (ie temp) or you can change them over to virtual mining
also (perm)..this starts TODAY as soon as you can let them know your choice(s) temp or perm on how you want it all to work.

the equiv of all batch 1 Titans imho available as fast as you can email gawminers of your choice on the above vaultbreaker deal

likely 6 weeks ahead of when i 'physically' get the Titan

here is the link..it seems their 'boast' to bury KNC and Titan may be true!

https://hashtalk.org/t/vaultbeakers-come-early/7605

I myself am on the sig campaign (see my tagline) for GAWminers and have no frigging idea on how they are doing all this ...getting the hash power
buying up zenminer for 8 million and btc.com for 1 million etc they seem to have big big bucks behind them...anyway we will see

and as usual nada/zip/nothing out of KNC on all this (except banned posts on their forum if you mention GAWminers) ....but with their
no refund policy we are stuck

so 6 weeks of watching vaultminers at 750mh hash away..then when I get my knc Titan I can compete against batch 1 other Titan customers too!

ah the joys of mining

gonna go cry in my beer now

You're not the only one wondering how they are doing it.
I just read a bunch of posts by some guy who wants to promote his mine by attacking GAW. If the amount of trolling equals recognition one could say they have succeded in becoming one of the leading hash providers in the world.

I have a feeling that if it is too good to be true then it probably is. GAW can say and make all the statement they want. KNC is a small fish, let's see if they can out do MBP.

Attacking with a DDoS is silly stuff. Somebody pulled off a BGP redirect attack and directed all the traffic to their pool. That's skillz. KnC isn't worth the trouble.

yes it would be worth the trouble if they hurt your pocket book

damn that is some serious bank for just typing away on a keyboard too bad for the ppl he screwed outta hash

Now that I have my B2 KNC Miner what PC power supplies will work best, and should I buy 3 lower wattage ones as supposed to 2 higher wattage PSUs?

You've been waiting this long for the unit, why on earth are you just trying to figure out how to power it now?

Because like you said I have been waiting a long time for it to ship, now that it's shipped and arrived I need to figure out how to power it up without it catching fire. lol

just got double payout and it really does, very interesting~~~

Is there a place online that selling the PCIe splitter and that sells a high quality one?

Thanks,

If you get ATX PC PSU's you might consider NOT getting modular ones.
The extra connectors is just another possible point of failure.
(this would prolly require more smaller ones, as big ones are often modular)

 You should look into the 2kW server side PS's that sidehack sells.  I'm pretty sure one of those would do the trick.

Thanks,

With respect to these cables, I guess one needs to on the 5th miner so that the power is shared by the two PSU's I buy?

I looked back through threads as much as I could as there is more threads on people complaining about refunds and all that hoopla than there is on actual configuration and testing of the miners with PSU's and these cables. So I am not too clear if I just need to buy one or many, if I need many why?

So you wouldn't recommend two of these?

I don't see any PC non-modular PSU's on the market in Canada. The only way I could get a non-modular is to buy something from IBM, Dell or HP but the cost would out weigh any and all hopes to recoup all of the cost or part of it.

Good luck at the mining game, sounds like you will need it.
