Can confirm 5 orders (50+ units) of Batch 1 have been shipped. No sign on my B2's as of yet.

Can't wait for your Batch 2 to arrive!!

Cleaning them up and applying a proper amount of paste so as to NOT grease ASIC pins together, they are running @ spec... For now, update in a few hours.

I wouldn't know where to apply it and what a proper amount would be. why not just clean the obvious excess mechanically (swipe)?
What is the good paste: arctic silver? cooler master? zalman?

I'm sure someone (or I will) post up pics to show where to do it (very easy!). You do not want to just wipe the excess because there can be a ton of caked on thermal paste in between the chip/heatsink. Additionally, the thermal paste they use is most likely just some basic paste and any aftermarket thermal paste will likely bring down temps.

AS5 will do just fine.

so, you clean first chemically? i see this product that has both AS5 and cleaning solution:

or just order AS5:

Correct.

Measure your GH/s and Temps before changing anything, note them.

You'll remove the heatsink and first do a cleaning/wipedown. Be gentle and very detailed!

You can use that solutions or any ISO Alcohol above 90% will do (I personally use 99% ISO)

Use a Q-Tip and/or MicroFiber cloth to do the cleaning.

Make sure the chipset is dry/clean then reapply the new thermal paste, but do not cake it on.

Boot and now look at GH/s and temps - if temps are higher, re-check everything and make sure you put enough paste on.

arf i had that problem with an S1, the glue wouldnt get solid after weeks of mining.. then the vent blowed dust on the board, mixing it with the glue. cleaned it up with some toilet paper ( Grin

) and lost about half of the hasrate. anyway, i ROIed and it was about the time to stop running it.

anyho, just saying, beware of that glue they're using. better letting the device cool down every weeks or so.

Yeah, S1 was baking dust on the back side of the machine. After a couple of months there was quite a mess near/under fan.
You probably had an ESD event when you were cleaning the boards with toilet paper (electrostatic discharge). I tried to not touch boards for cleaning at all, even when they looked a little dusty.
