expect a coindesk article soon imho

Coindesk ? …the paparazzi press ?

~L)L~

hey whatever works....release the hounds!

How many Titans are you mining with ?

Just one.

Some tips for ppl who is setting up titan

1) ribbon cables got two side, they are not the same
2) sometimes the pcie slot might be fucked up, make sure to try every single spot on the controller
3) don't forget update the firmware to 1.02
4) you are able to use more than one psu to power them ( i am using 2-3 psu for one titan)
5) firmware is kinda unstable atm, using auto-switch pool might cause a 40% drop of hash ( not sure yet )

what pools are people using so i can just skip the frustration (assuming I can "get it up' so to speak ....Titan I mean!)

*hey...there was a day when i'd get some asic hardware and get a bit of a 'asic woody' alas ......those days seem

be gone with the stress of getting them going*

i can still remember you Searing, you helped me quite a lot when i first got my jupiter

i am using wemineltc atm
but i will test those auto-switch pool after i set up all titan on hand

I would love to find a place that makes longer ribbon cables for the Titan/Neptune miners.

Thanks,

is ribbon cables the only name? i might be able to get some if i get the correct name
i agree it is too damn short

eBay should have those for cheap. I know seen 3ft for a couple of dollars not too long ago. Try that out 

Got the link?

Something like this http://www.ebay.com/itm/70CM-10-Pin-USBISP-USBASP-JTAG-AVR-Download-wire-10P-Ribbon-Cable-2-3ft-2-54mm-/191130771470?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2c8048200e

But I'd say search around, I didn't dig too deep

I will have to ask the sellers of these cables if all the pings are active.

I am surprised for argument sake that someone hasn't tried using the 80pin higher density ribbon cable to make these connectors to try and cut down on the noise between the miner and the cubes.

Just received my Titan :

PSU : corsair AX 1500i
cannot run it above 250 Mhz (def : 300) because the PSU shutdown in protection mode.


at 250 Mhz, this shit draw 1100 watts

the hashrate vary between 150 & 250 mh/s


some times it stop mining, I just need to reboot it. Like that :




ps : if some one know where to buy  pci-e Y cable for the titan, please tell me, I don't want to wait month before knc deliver them.
ps2 : the miner is pointed here : http://clevermining.com/users/13BeJG5DuNgsY2aMDCqEwtbDrYfRQryjip

You can disable OCP on AX1500i...

From Corsair Forum: http://www.corsair.com/en-us/blog/2014/may/setting-up-ocp-on-the-ax1500i

"The other method that can be used is to turn off the OCP altogether. To do this, you must check all of the boxes for OCP and then uncheck them. After no more than 15 seconds, OCP will be disabled on the AX1500i power supply."

anybody have any idea if this also works on the corsair 1200i? (am looking now on their site)

The Corsair AX1200i comes with software that allows you to configure anything, including switching off the Over Current Protection (OCP). The problem is that this requires use of a special cable that connects to USB header pins on a motherboard (this makes sense, the PSU is designed to be inside a computer).

It is a lot of hassle to run a naked motherboard for the purpose of running the Corsair software,  so the easiest solution is to effectively bypass the OCP using PCIe 2-to-1 Y power cables. This halves the current draw on each PCIe port on the PSU.

remind me how I helped (i need the encouragement with my Titan NO ROI from KNC)

just to show you how life works I ordered the cable(s) from www.shakmods.com they arrived I forgot I ordered them for corsair 1200i and now I decided to use
as KNC recommends "two 850w power supplies' so I just ordered  (2) Seasonic ss-8602ps 860w units instead...contacted www.shakmods.com to ask how badly I'm screwed...hoping these corsair cables will also work on the seasonic (not hopeful)

so beware all any advice I may give.....i bought stuff from BFL (did after a year get my full $8.5k back by pure luck) and a KNC NO ROI Titan ...so any advise should
be taken with my limited mental facilities in mind!

Where can we obtain those PCI-e 2-to-1 Y power cables? Preferrably in Europe. Looks like 1 to 2 are more common. Or sell me yours for bitcoins.

Then you must mean MHs not GHs.

I purchased mine from Cablez here on the forum. If you're interested, send him a PM. He accepts bitcoin.

Alright, I have finished a process for making a heavy duty 2:1 PCIe adapter for Neptune owners.  It is made with 16AWG wires and minifit HCS (high current system) pins capable of 13A.  It is tricky to make with crimping two 16 gauge wires together but I soldered the pins to the wires after crimping for best contact.  I cannot guarantee that the nylon housings at the pcb won't melt so be sure there is some airflow there.

Here she is:


Pricing is $8 each with discounts for larger orders.  Shipping will be priority mail with tracking which is $6 for US and $24 for international.
Please PM if you are interested.  Thanks

Ask KNC. They emailed their Neptune customers saying they will ship out Y cables to them soon. I emailed them today and they told me they'll be shipping them in the next couple of weeks.

Nope. It is producing gigahashes of rejects.

Well first of all the Titan doesn't ship being able to do even 1GH/s. So either you are running multiple Titan's or something has gone terribly wrong.

Hey maybe KNC have been kidding us all along and its a 3.3Ghs scrypt miner

That would be nice but it's very unlikely as they wouldn't be screwing anyone.

[retro72]

What sort of power draw are you guys getting? It's been reported near 1600 watts at the wall on the KNC forums. That's double what we were initially told. Can any one else confirm this?
