I have several s3's that have "x" error in the chain from any stress. I think that it is going to be nessisary, and trust me its the last thing I want to do! This is all over my head, but don't really want to sit around and do nothing either.
You think thermal paste is a good place to start?

Which is your power supply and how many devices you connected to the PSU.
I have 11 s3's, most are at 237-250 freq. Started out with 7, but a friend couldn't take care of his and I ended up with 4 more I didn't really expect. A few of my units are giving x errors in the chain when pushed at various levels. 2 of them cannot go above stock, 1 actually is better off underclocked, and the other 2 handle 225 freq well, and as soon as it his 237 an x error occurs in the string. 6/7 of mine work fine and 1/4 of his works fine. At his place we had to switch the network to 192.168.0.99 to get it to recognize his network. I changed it back to a 1 at his place before I brought it home and have not made any changes since, just plugged in and went, could this be any sort of issue?
I have 4 miners on 2 power supplies, the rest are 1:1, I have 8 850w bronze evga supernova, and 1 1200 watt gold evga.
I have 2 of my oc'd running on the 1200 watt, and I moved the 2 slow ones that couldn't handle OC to the 1 850, All have been tested on a single power source before doubling down to increase efficiency.
I been looking for days but something always comes up. Finally got enough of the issues and tweaking done to sit down and figure out these problem machines. I appreciate all the advice and help. Thanks in advance.
I also got a machine that gets high HW errors out of nowhere, and another that randomly drops out in hash. A reboot seems to work with that one most of the time.
I been thinking along the lines of a factory reset to before redo-ing the thermal paste. Any suggestions on where to start with this maint project?
