Has anyone upgraded their R4 to the Bitmain "auto frequency" firmware? I wonder what the differences in hashrate were/are if anyone has flashed this file?

never never never never do that.

just set to 593 or 587

the slight drop in hash is not so bad as it also pulls less power.

auto tune is moron software it simply attempts to max each board and then you will not be able to fix it if it is at say 612 with an x and 587 with no x

you are lucky you have the old firmware.

just set it to 593 or 587 and make money.

I won't try to take a reward away but I know of a way that should work to set the r4 back to old firmware.

DO NOT UPGRADE TO THE LATEST FIRMWARE FOR THE R4!!!

The latest firmware removes the ability to modify the frequency...

Does anyone happen to have the old firmware before "auto frequency"? Please reply or PM me! There will be some bitcoin in it for you!

I have the firmware if you still need it. I can upload it to a free file hosting site and/or email it to you (email may flag the file as a false positive for malware, but I'm not sure because I've never had to send it over email before). Just send me a PM if you still need the firmware and I will get it to you one or the other! Wink

What does the HW mean, on one chip it seems higher than the others??

HW means Hardware error. As to what it can be --- many possibilities. Best to just Google "bitcoin HW error"

correct chip just dies after a while at 600 seems more stable at a lower frequency

If you have hard rebooted it a few times and it still comes back, you just have a bad chip. No way to fix it.

Well, yes and no.
Quite often dropping the miner speed down a notch or 2 will bring a weak chip back to life. It just doesn't want to run at full speed. Only drawback is that the new total hashrate will probably be less than having the 1 chip offline, so.... I'd leave it as-is.

Chain# ASIC# Frequency GH/S(RT) HW Temp(PCB) Temp(Chip) ASIC status
7 63 600 4160.72 75 63 86 oooooooo oooooXoo oooooooo oooooooo oooooooo oooooooo oooooooo ooooooo
8 63 600 4313.57 61 58 84 oooooooo oooooooo oooooooo oooooooo oooooooo oooooooo oooooooo ooooooo

What does the X mean on the ASIC status for chain# 7, i lost some hash rate, it is minimal but still and how can i fix it?
