Hello All
I wanted to share my experience with you about The Knc Saturn miner ordered june 4th,
payed in the 7 day windows:
order 9XX "Day 2": i received it october 11th (officially, "the shipping" started on the 1 st october)
First days of october, no change about my order, then for about 4-5 days in had a "in progress status"
The 9 th, i received a mail from UPS said that i'll be delivered next day
Next day, the 10th, nothing ... and i saw on the tracking that UPS had a problem
in sweden or germany (don't remember) and lost one day ...
So i got my miner the day after, and plugged it asap with a Corsair AX 860 + kill a watt:
275 GH/s for 450 Watts at the wall ... (slush pool stats)
4 VRM boards and very cool temps, quiet air flow
one hard reset done in 24h because the miner seemed idle
(seems this happens when i was on the web interface)
no problems exepted that manual reboot doesn't worked ...
Next day, i went to the web interface to check the firmware, it was 0.91 !
I listened to knC advices, and decided to go for the 0.95: 293 Watts but only 210 GH/s
manual reboot worked, power usage was reduced, but performances were no here ...
Note: When i upgraded to the 0.95 firmware, it was still notified 0.91 on the web interface...
I was using safari on mac OSX, but i noticed that using firefox resolved this problem !
So i tried to downgrade to every last firmwares and several hard resets but i doesnt seems to do something (sometimes that was worst: 200GH/s)
Until i went to the original 0.9 release, and fucks knows why, i saw on my kill a watt at 450 Watts !
Then i immediately went to 0.91 wich brings me the same perforances than in the beggining
and i switched to 0.94, no problems were experienced, but nothing changed from 0.91 ...
Finally, i'm here now, trying to acces to cg miner, but i don't know what to do when i'm in the
OSX terminal with a SSH connection opened: what magic words do i need to type to enter the
cg miner world (i prefer, cg miner, conf files, etc ..., than this limited web interface)
