Why would it do any of that? I'm not playing with the board voltage. Somebody else did that before I bought this used equipment by soldering in some additional silicon. XD

The boards I have now are running within 2C of each other, though, so I suspect the voltage is within spec across them. I only lose 1 chip of 45 on board #2 above 725mhz, and I've run this box all the way up to 775mhz / 5.2TH/s on a particularly cold night with high mains voltage. I'm limited to 15A on this circuit / plug.

I'll soon have a 240v solution and 2x miners running. I'm also working on an ultra-efficient cooling system that should allow me to attain profitability at $0.10/kWh even with these S7's.

As an side, the cooling system should be less electrically efficient than underclocking and running outside air, more efficient than a traditional computer room air conditioner (CRAC), and it will be far more portable and space-efficient than both. It should also severely reduce interior room noise at full operating power.

I'm running 700mhz (stock freq) at ~48C right now. 12.5A.

Please setup a 24/7 camera that is recording so we can see the moment where the machine blows up and starts shooting fireballs out the back.

Overclocking bitmain gear is extremely stupid and I hope this doesnt give anyone else ideas.
