Stock PSU cables aren't not, let me repeat, ARE NOT pretty high-end cables. They don't even start to come close. You need to buy 16AWG cables from this guy. http://www.shakmods.com/shop&&#!/~/product/category=3316088&id=37642162
Those are "HIGH-END" cables. The fact that the cables started to melt at the cube end suggests they were plugged in correctly or they simply are cheap quality cables.
Seasonic PSUs are pretty high end in terms of quality. I am pretty sure the PCIe cables on these 1250W units are 16AWG. They are really thick. I don't think the issue here is with the wires. I still have a bunch of Neptune cubes using Seasonic 1250W PSUs for months without any signs of burning but this Titan cube has burn marks after just 5 days of mining. I am certain that everything was plugged in correctly. Because of all the issues people have had with their Neptune's, I triple check all my connections when I set up equipment. Requiring third party cables and terminals is silly. They really should have provided the PSUs and cabling if they were going to go out of standard spec considering how much customers paid for these miners.
Were the terminals used on the power cables 45750 Mini-fit plus HCS?
High quality stock cables on psu's are mostly not... high quality
Used y-splitters like knc recommended? No?
Please post more facts so this can be avoided by others
I just used everything that came stock with the PSU. No Y-splitter cables. I used these same Seasonic 1250W PSUs on my Neptunes for over a month without any problems. Anyways I am going to head to bed. Will answer any more questions you guys may have in the morning.
Got some bad news guys. I was reorganizing one of my Titans which has been running non stop for about 5 days when I noticed that the PCI-e socket on one of the cubes is already starting to burn:
I am using dual Seasonic 1250W PSUs for each Titan which have pretty high quality cables. I didn't start seeing any signs of burned sockets on my Neptunes until around the 2 month mark so I am getting concerned about these Titans.

Their May newsletter said:

In order to increase value for KnC customers we are adding one extra Neptune miner to each pre-ordered Neptune in batch one and batch two.
but it depends on if you trust the lying fucks.
The hash-while-you-wait was supposed to be completely free, but they ended up putting a price on it to screw everyone out of it.
lulz I like those KFC zingers. I remember somewhere else where KNC talked about the 2 for one thing and remember the wording being tricky which is why I was confused. That May newsletter does seem to indicate that its per machine. Guess we will find out seen since I just emailed them to see if I could get a mix of Titans and Neptunes for my 3 customer appreciate batch Neptunes.
Good news guys. I have reduced my VRM temps by 20 degrees C with my new delta fan:
Heres a comparison with the other cubes that still have the stock fans:
Only problem is that it sounds like a Boeing 747 but i would rather be deaf than having burnt VRMs.

How much CRM for the delta fan? It is used to blow the cold air in right? I thought there is a fan inside the box?
Its 240 CFM.

There stock 120mm fan was mounted on the inside but I removed that and had to mount the delta fan on the outside because the delta fan is thicker and wont fit on the inside. Also I had to use a 120mm to 140mm fan adapter which also adds thickness. Thats why it looks so bulky in the pic. It blows air into Neptune.
thank you for the reply! do you have any idea how much cpm the stock 120mm fan has?
I typo-ed. The stock fan that comes with the Neptune is a 140mm fan with 122 CFM. This is the stock fan:

I couldn't find many 140mm fans with more than 122 CFM so thats why I got 120mm delta fans.

weird...the cooler one is higher amps...that doesn't make sense...usually the cooler the vrm the lower the amps...at least that is what i see on my jup units...oh well good job on lowering the temps
thx crash
Hard to tell at this point if it hashes faster now since ive only modded one cube. I have 9 more delta fans, but my 120mm fan grills wont arrive until Saturday. Once I install these fans on all my other cubes then ill be able to see if im getting any performance increase overall. Its possible that this cube just consumes more amps than my other ones. I know that this cube was the hottest one so I picked it as the guinea pig for the new fan. Unfortunately I didn't pay attention the the amps before I installed the delta. Guess we will know more in a few days.

What are the fans used in Neptunes (Brand & Model) ?
Someone earlier in this thread said these fans:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835345069
I havent taken one apart yet so I don't know for sure. There are a few different fan models that look like that though.
Yeah but my VRMs are getting pretty hot. Some up to 110.

In an effort to reduce the VRM temps on my Neptunes, I will be upgrading my fans to these high airflow 120mm fans:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835213001&cm_re=delta_120mm-_-35-213-001-_-Product
Also got 120mm to 140mm adapters:

Will update with my results when I get the stuff. Its being shipped via Neweggs poverty speed shipping though so it might be a while.

Re: cgminer crashes with more than 2 Gridseed ASICs on Windows
Is there anyone developing Cgminer for Gridseed? What hotplugg restart are you talking about? I have not seen this, Al though I have been switching pools are 5 hrs or so.. How often does it happen or have I got a release that has been fixed , not sure. I use Windows and it would be good to get a development going for cgminer
I have a few windows machines each with at least 15 Gridseeds connected to a USB hub. If I have all the gridseeds pluged in and start CGMiner, it will crash or fail to detect any of them. However if i unplug the usb cable for every gridseed, start CGMiner first and then plug in one gridseed at a time, they will all start hashing fine. This is a pain because once in a while CGminer will randomly crash and I have to do this trick to get them all hashing again. I have tried like every release of CGMiner for gridseeds with no luck on this issue.
Re: cgminer crashes with more than 2 Gridseed ASICs on Windows
I have this same issue. I have only been able to start CGMiner with about 4 devices plugged in at once without a crash. If i start up CGminer first and turn on the gridseeds one at a time, I can run up to 28 on one machine (havent tried more than 28 on a single machine). Does anyone have a better solution?
Re: [INSTOCK in California] Selling Gridseed Asics. Ship from California. [$235]
Overall my experience with Zoomhash has been a nightmare so far. I have had several issues with my orders. Here is the timeline of events:
Ordered 20 Gridseed miners off Ebay on 3/6 and paid via papal immediately.
Didn't get any communication at all from Zoomhash so I messaged them on 3/11 asking about the status of my order. They said there was a delay in shipping because they were scared of Ebay fraud, but told me I was going to get a partial refund for the delay. They said my order would ship out the next day. At this point I cut a deal to buy 40 more Gridseed units via BTC.
One of my orders shipped out on 3/12 and the other one on 3/13, both from China. I received all 60 units on 3/17.
My order only came with 40 USB cables instead of 60 so now I have 20 miners just sitting around. Also one of my units has an incorrect female power port so I cant fit a barrel connector in it.
I sent a PM to Zoomhash on 3/17 explaining the issues with my orders and that I did not yet receive the partial refund they originally promised for my Ebay order.
Shortly after I receive a PM from someone working at Zoomhash for my BTC address so I gave it to them and they sent me a partial refund for less than half the amount I was originally promised. Nothing was mentioned about my missing USB cables and defective miner.
This morning (3/18) I sent an email to Zoomhash and have not heard anything from them all day.
So now I have no idea if I should just go order USB cables on my own or wait

Ok got a message from Zoomhash. They gave me the rest of my refund and then some and are gonna reimburse me for USB cables. Sending in my defective unit tomorrow for RMA. Hopefully the RMA turnaround will be quick. Will update once I receive the RMA unit.
Re: [INSTOCK in California] Selling Gridseed Asics. Ship from California. [$235]
USB cables are like 50 cents each, just get em at monoprice
Well the cost of the USB cables are not a big deal, but I don't want to order them if Zoomhash will send them to me. I'm just worried about the lost mining time if I wait for them to respond rather than ordering myself. Even if I order myself I probably wont get the cables until Friday unless I get expedited shipping. Sucks having miners sitting around not doing anything after already waiting 12 days to get my stuff

Re: [INSTOCK in California] Selling Gridseed Asics. Ship from California. [$235]
Does it work real well? I've been getting the 10 port right now.
Yeah so far I have had no issues with them. Using all 28 ports on one of them. No troubles with getting anything to detect in Windows. I can't really comment on durability though since I have only been using them for about 6 hours now.
