0.95 -> 0.96

8 VRM jupiter down from 530 GH -> 485 GH



wow, that is good to know.   I would think that anyone with full 8 VRM boards wouldn't bother going past .93 or .94 since those boards can handle it nicely.  Not sure if they will ever do specific tuning for 8 VRM boards (or even acknowledge they exist lol)

I saw .96 clean up two of my ASICs so they ran with no cores dropping, but I still had one board with lots of drops and that other board with the bad VRM that is either on with all cores or off with none (almost always off)

My VRM issue doesn't take the whole board down unless I run .93 or earlier firmwares, then FPGA errors are all over the place and make everything unusable.

Im done playing guinea pig for KNC I'm staying on .94 for now since I have 8 VRM and know they could give a shit less about us. Makes sense seeing the diff jump and the new ASIC guys charging forward with 0.6w per gh/s or less. KNC know their business is going to be over except for RMA and customer service by next year unless they decide to make a new better chip (not going to out do Cointerra). They just want to rake in what they can before this little game is up.

I adjusted now anyways to monitoring my newborn problem child and setting my alarm to wake me every 3 hours during the night to check it. If it blows up or I can't get back to where I am (ALMOST HAPPENED!) I'm out a lot of money so risk management says I stay put.

@Crypto_Cumbrian, try loading .95 again then doing a hard reset, reboot, then once again putting .95 this has worked with me on .94 and worked with .95 with others. Looks like you have a really bunk chip contact customer service they seem willing to work with people with REALLY bad chips. Also might try the above method with .96
