thought i'd come by and say a uninstal and re-instal of 1.4.2 fixed my issues
Not too knowledgeable about these hashing rigs being talked about here.
But a good heatsink goes a long way, even if you don't see improvements in the individual programs or benchmarks. Finding software that can benchmark without stress testing will be a better guide to knowing how modifications have improved what.
You may need something to look at transfer speeds and chip speeds for the device itself, and w/e ports it's attached to.
haveing higher quality parts, such as capacitors/resistors help the voltages remain constant or for resistors, at a certain voltage range. i'm guessing people are finding its overvolting when it overclocks?
I've found a process monitor software called "process hacker 2" that is free ware. and has many tools in it that are helpful, some features are unlocked when run as an admin. this has been most helpful monitoring network and i/o etc. The software is best in the hands of an experienced pc user. But many things can be useful to all. Just be careful. Read up on anything you don't know. Ask me if you wish.
ps: again i have no experience placeing large metal objects on a antminer u1 or u2. but it seems people are putting a heatsink on the backside of the pcb, and leaveing the chips exposed. from first apperances, using thermal seems foolish directly on the pcb with some waffled? copper base?
Not using thermal would mean your not getting much use or contact with the parts your trying to cool.
Leaving the chips your trying to cool exposed limits their potential and drastically shortens their lifespan. yes i would suggest a heatsink for the entire unit. pcb and all. And delicate placement of tiny ammounts of thermal nanodiamond or 99%w/v silver. or a mix of these 2. with individual heatsinks for the chips. Get some anti-static wrap, cut some peices to lay over the edges of the chips to cover any exposed metal surfaces. I might buy some of these and try this haha.
thanks
