KncMiner Saturn underperforming

[tex4ever]

Hi guys, I got an Saturn (October Batch) and it is underperforming -> running at 240 Ghs, but it should have 275 GHs.
It is running with the firmware 0.99.1-tune

I did:
- downgraded the firmware to 0.98.1
- hard reset
- enablecores.bin

Nothing helped. Do you know what I can do else?

Thank you guys!

Is normal for your batch, sorry.

All ASIC Miner are specified with optimum Gh/s +/- 10%. In your case if the optimum amount is 270-275Gh/s, you calculate -10% and you are still within the specification.

270-27 > 240

He is not within...

Hairsplitting...or would you go on and complain knc about 3Gh/s missed?

Well to be honest if I buy something and I have varranty that it WILL work within specific speed, and it does NOT, then at least I would like an explanation why, or other kind of assistance

October loves when it is  hot. What is your temperatures? Go up to 75-80 C when check again. 
PS bertmod helps  a lot with diagnostics and without any harm.

All KNC love it hot, even my jupiter. If the temp going under 50 degree i lose at least 10GH/s, if over 60 run smooth and perfect with 680Gh/s instead of 650!

Hi thanks to your replies. Well about the heat: My ASICS has 45 degrees. How can I make them more hot? Disable the fans?

[giletto]

NO! Of course not...but how is your environment, where the miner stay and work? Where do you live?

[tex4ever]

Well the miner is at home. Room temperature is about 20 degrees.

[giletto]

You work with open miner, or did you close the case (not sure that your knc has a case for close as mine)

If i open or close my case the temperature difference between 5-10 degree.

The latest firmware allows you to tweak the voltage per die per asic.  Hit their support forum and read about it.  Many October owners are struggling with this.
