Luke-jr, I see you are online, is 3.9 ready for the antminer U1? I've got a bunch of those showing up this coming week.
Please re-ask this somewhere it's on topic (BFGMiner or AntMiner threads) and point me to it...

BFGMiner is a great application for running multiple cubes in one easy interface. However, I have found that it comes with a slight decrease in performance on cubes and Blades.
Evidence/explanation? Are you sure this isn't due to BFGMiner identifying/reporting HW errors (and slush's proxy does not do this AFAIK)?I hadn't noticed any dings with my cubes running thru a raspberry pi. 38.4gh/s solid for days using bfgminer.

How are these still selling at high prices with all the problems, and antminer delivering 180ghs units that work as advertised... these should be maybe .55btc, considering all the quality control issues from ASICMiner.

Tested unit sold. I may have more this weekend but at the moment I am sold out of tested 38gh/s and 32gh/s units. If you haven't paid for your unit yet, someone beat you to it.

Sold ... will send BTC and pm
December 28, 2013, 12:18:23 AM
1 verified 38gh/s unit up for grabs. First come first serve. I'll post when it's sold.
.89 BTC shipped and insured USPS Priority mail tomorrow.

I suspect this is more of a shipping issue. If they were shipped disassembled I don't suspect this would happen. I suspect that it only takes a slight drop to make this happen.
Yes it's definitely a shipping issue, some of the blades are jammed pretty tight under those rails so there's no way someone assembling them could have put them in that way. I've assembled a local team of QA and technical specialists from my field to open all units, tighten heatsinks, re-align the blades and test the units at 38gh/s. All units sent from this point forward will be handled in this fashion unless deemed unnecessary. For now, I'd like to ask that all buyers still open the units to check for alignment and heatsink tightness. I'd like to know if continental shipping is creating the same results.
I suspect that even if you go though them first before shipping them out you still would end up with the cards popped out of the slots. Even shipping in the us form you to customers it only take one drop. They need a piece of antistatic foam under the mother board to support it during shipping. All my heat sinks were tight though.

Looks like my cube only likes "low" clock. 
No "x"'s on low. Switch to high and within mins "x"'s begin appearing until everyone is x'ed out.
Have to hard power off to get back. Leaving on "low" overnight to see how reliable that it.
When I read of all the other issues people were having I had begun to think maybe 3 blades were better than 1 cube. Their chip is just too hot and slow for something as small as the cube. It worked for blades as you had a larger surface area to spread the heat load.

The connectors on the cards look like "nubus' connectors. as in early mac until they switched to pci bus in late 90's.
I liked nubus. You could hot plug since there was no slot alignment issues that could cause shorting during insertion or removal.

Got mine today !!!
Thanks,
I opened and removed guts to check over. While there were no loose screws in the case, all heat sink screws were loose. Some to the point of 1 thread from dropping out. The boards were also misaligned out of the grooves and the bottom MB bowed.
Peeled off that goofy fan label since others have said it flys off so thought to avoid it with pre-surgery.
Testing so low clock.. bitminter is having issues so repointing to btcguild.
Its a cloud murphy law. When trying to troubleshoot the local hardware. The cloud will decide to mess with you at the same time just to really confound everything !!

Got mine today and it is running @38 GH, Excellent Service form Crazyguy Thanks. I heeded the warning and took mine apart and found that some of the card were out of the grooves and the motherboard was bowed. All the heatsink screw were tight though. I carefully reassembled it and all is good. See pic
some definite quality control issues going on @ ASICminer..... if you are going to repackage obsolete chips in a newer box to try and extend sales life, you'd think they would make damn sure the stuff was put together right....
very disappointed.....
