firmware is bad , unstable hash on most of pools
could we create a list of pool which titan could run properly atm?
(still not sure yet, but none of those auto-switch pool / multi-pool works on my titans)

1) wemineltc
2) coinotron

Final power per Titan per wall

oh yeah! Fire the Titans at the wall!

[Prelude]

What a huge steaming pile of shit this is turning out to be. Really looking forward to forking out over $1000 in duties when this scrap metal arrives at my door.

[BrianM]

What a pile of crap. Only thing those titans are good for is to open beers.

using 2 corsair 1200i's with y 16awg cables on Titan

IF YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT THIS SKIP THIS POST..just trying to spread advice around given to me

SKIP this post if it does not apply or you don't care just in case someone
is also setting up what they can before the DIY NO ROI Titan lands on their
doorstep

a reprint (partial) of what I posted on www.kncminer.com forums...on my kludge efforts to meet KNC
power supply (you need TWO per Titan now) and the fact they are NOT sending Y cables with the
Titans shipping for 2 weeks TM BFL... lol

anyway here is the link to www.kncminer.com forums...to say it is a BIT lively over there in
running around....tearing hear out weeping and moaning is an understatement. and that is
just the KNC Firmware developers....as to the customers it is worse.....me I'm trying
to move on and consider my NO ROI Titan as more of a future doorstop/art piece...ie Toy.


NOTE: the thread is entitled Titan (2) Seasonic SS-860SP2 860w Platinum before I had to change to the corsair 1200i's
go to 3rd post down on why/how I switched....confusing I know but can't change title or delete that thread in
that it had a reply...but still the seasonics post and seasonic psu's should also work fine with Titan imho

here is the link..the title is misleading see below had to change power supply types

http://forum.kncminer.com/forum/main-category/hardware/59793-titan-2-seasonic-ss-860sp2-860w-platinum

and the revised thread on the corsair specific below on knc forums

http://forum.kncminer.com/forum/main-category/hardware/59971-changed-to-2-corsair-1200i-psu-s-with-shakmods-long-y-adapters



Anyway may help someone in same boat with power supplies needed and cables needed in that KNC is
not suppling Y cables with the shipped Titans ..which imho can lead to the usual power plug burn
issues that have plagued the Neptunes ...and again I recommend if you are into this complete
FUD / reaming that KNC is doing to its 1st batch esp Titan customers go to the KNC forums with
popcorn ..it is an ugly mess

In summary the post above is the use of 2 corsair 1200i units (that in one of the threads Kurt says
KNC has tested with Titan ..although nothing but 2 generic 850w is their full plug on power supplies to get
in their actual tech pages.....no brand names are mentioned because no testing with them yet imho)

also www.shakemods.com y cable long 16awg adapters...to hopefully limit load burnt plug problems
like the Neptunes had..and according to the KNC forums Titan's are ALSO having

and the usual mythical FUD KNC is touting about unicorn firmware to mine scrypt N etc

anyway for those doing a 2nd power supply scramble for their Titan and Y connectors....due to
what you see here on the same plug burn as neptunes...they still may burn plugs...but I figure
the Y adapter 16awg gives me a better shot then orig cables of it NOT being at the Titan end
or the power supply end themselves for the burn ..just if it comes to pass if i'm lucky the Y
adapter will eat the burn (man good design their knc sheesh)

better safe then sorry

anyway what I can sorta control before Titan arrives

1) power supplies (2 corsair 1200i units) for 1 Titan 1100w (wtf of a design flaw sheesh I mean its 1100 watts!)

2) www.shakmods.com (2 day shipping from UK reasonable rate) long replacement Y cables for corsair 1200i (16awg)
    (you tell him your power supply he makes them..slick cables ..he will answer questions email promptly and skype.

3) I'd also suggest everyone with a NO ROI Titan setup something similar and probably get a nice triplite iso surge protector
220v like this on amazon.com..european version is best you can get a 220v with reg plug but dangerous in use if you plug
a 220v into it...so again the euro version comes with proper plug to go right to insert on standard PSU

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00006HZ4M/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

comes with one appropriate cord for the euro design.....to the power supply... you can get more cords on amazon
I'm using 1 220v per psu and one of these on each psu (overkill maybe but have the 220v sockets) for a total of 2 iso triplite units

so covered what I can cover till the DIY NO ROI Titan lands on my porch

then more FUD/Dismay and disappointment ..but You can only control what you can before it arrives

'In 2 weeks" TM BFL     LOL  

anyway hope this helps someone

using 2 corsair 1200i's with y 16awg cables on Titan

SKIP this post if it does not apply or you don't care just in case someone
is also setting up what they can before the DIY NO ROI Titan lands on their
doorstep

I am using one acbel 1100w + CM 550W, so far all PSU are fine

[loktang1125]

not sure if this matters with your power supply but are you using Y adapters?

No - I use the standard cables - was not prepared for additional cables. This may be the issue. Dunno - Thing is... yesterday it worked. Today not and nothing has changed in the setup...

Are they overheat or something?

Cables seem ok, Asic temp never reaches >50C (due to BFG Miner shutdown after few sec)

Dunno whats wrong - even if I just plug in one cube with 50mhz BFGMiners restarts after 10 sec - lets hope for a quick firmware update. Right now I need to shut down the Titan - not worth running it  

lol i got same problem now, it slowed to 50mhs after it works for one fuckin night

are you using Y adapters yet? myself I figure you use the Y adapters..maybe if there is a burn out it won't be your
Titan plug end or PSU plug end which would be bad

and also I have each corsair 1200i running on (or will be) 220v and the triplite isobar euro version

http://www.amazon.com/Tripp-Lite-EURO-4-International-Protector/dp/B00006HZ4M/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1411902615&sr=8-1&keywords=tripp+lite+euro

what the heck prob overkill but have the 220v plugs in anyway

might be overkill but if crap goes 'weird' with burn outs of plugs like the Neptune want to be prepared

stuff I can control before other probs happen if/when it shows up on my porch don' t ya know

i still didnt get my titan WTF!

Don't worry, you aren't alone. I'd be surprised if those incompetent fucks at KNC have sent 20 out so far.

ALPHA delayed again:

Dear valued customers,
With much regret, we unfortunately have to announce that despite our biggest efforts, it is unlikely that we are able to meet our target shipping date for September. Instead, it will slip into October.

  so am i lucky to get my titans? even some of them are fucked up

[bclcjunkie]

still no luck even after upgrading fw to 1.02 and resetting to factory defaults... this is a total disaster, lost 2 days of mining revenue on this piece of crap so far... i can tell the fw is buggy as hell, even if i reduce to 50mhz it still can't handle measly 10+mh and restarts...

[Elenelen]

You should be happy not to be a guinea pig !!
Those who have got Titans (like me), have spend days in frustration to get it working....

Two problems:
1) Not all cubes work well (they dump BFGminer), and it costs a hell of a time to find the problem ones.
2) when you found a working set, you will have trouble to find a Pool which can handle your speed. Most of them especially the Multi-switching pools are not usable.

All in all I lost at least 4 days of my life, and have 2 Cubes who need to RMA.

i have 4 titans up atm, and two of them is not so stable , they are keeping restart BFGminer or speed drop.
only two titans are running smooth, still wasting life on them

[loktang1125]

finally got one cube hashing... will try with 2 now..

runnning off enermax 1500w platimax..

try these pools.. all worked for me so far.. also make sure to keep resetting to factory defaults once you've upgraded fw to 1.02.. not sure what fixed my earlier problem so i did these things:
- changed ports
- kept resetting to factory defaults of both advanced page and the system
