I understand it is more important to get less speed when having less hardware errors.
I have not received my unit (week two) but I'm worried.
If you get 1 Mhs, for that, you can not have so many errors.

Been running the Fury for ~18 hours @328mhz.
ICA0 | (5s):1.318M (avg):1.335Mh/s | A:5440 R:43 HW:283 U:0.0/m
Dropped it down to 320 .. Still seeing errors @ ~1.25MH/s... Going to let it run for a bit. Then try 300mhz.

Dropped it down to 320 .. Still seeing errors @ ~1.25MH/s... Going to let it run for a bit. Then try 300mhz.
Adjusting the frequency, won't change the HW 's believe me I tried. Best to shut it off and wait for firmware update. And with btc going over 615 today very sad.
It's morning in GAW's headquarters, I'm sure an update is coming.
1) the fury runs at 1.3mh with 40 watts
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.7007242 from _____TR________
question to _____TR______ what is your power source a brick or an atx PSU with some pcie adapter cords?
I ask because watts WITH A BRICK would be much higher then with a plat atx psu. So 40 watts is good if it is a brick . Since I think a plat psu with pcie adapters would do 32-35 watts
PSU: Corsair HX750 ATX PSU was used for testing.
Now with setup below Fury is using 45watts avg. at 1.329MH/s avg. When Fury is unplugged power meter shows 342watts
Same PSU now running three Blades, six 5-chips, and one Fury. Add two powered USB hubs and one Raspberry Pi with a total avg. of 387 watts at wall.
Total of 20.746MH/s
Watts measured with a 'Kill A Watt P3' meter.
Software for Blades and Fury running on a PC not connected to power meter
2) the widow
3) the falcon
4) the war machine
5)zen controller
so please quote and add info to the 5 above.
we can use this to organize a support thread.

Sorry guys. Turned the falcon off. Can't stand the HW errors any longer.
What kind of usb cable does the falcon use? USB A- B? or a USB A to mini B like the furry and gridseeds?
A to B (not mini)

How is everyone's "Discarded" shares looking on the zenminer page? After running overnight mine are double the accepted shares.
The poolside hashrates seem to be fairly accurate though.
Honestly, I'm not sure what that number actually means. The option "no-submit-stale" is not enabled, so I don't think it has anything to do with locally discarding shares that are determined to be stale. Thoughts?

I finally got around to playing with my 2 Fury's.
Thoughts:
1. DHL did a security check on the package, and it looks like they opened / tapped it shut. Luckily nothing was missing, and the package arrived within two days of shipping from Hong Kong. So kudos for DHL.
2. The Fury are packaged really nicely in solid white boxes; lots of protecting foam. The fans are unplugged from the Fury inside of the packaging, but it's easy to plug the fan power cable into the Fury.
3. The power supply (Brick type) is the definition of "no-name". There isn't a company listed on either the all white box it came in / on the power supply itself. I wouldn't put much faith in the CE / FCC symbols listed on the bottom. The brick also would get pretty toasty; more then it should be.
4. The Fury itself feels solid, but light. This makes sense because the board itself that contains the chips is pretty small, and the heatsink appears to be made out of aluminum. The fan seems to be decent quality, and they used 4 bolts / screws to attach the fan to the heatsink. I believe the Blizzard from Zeus only uses 2 screws to hold the fan grill on.
5. I found this to be a little funny / GAW might want to contact the manufacture. The silkscreen on the heatsink that says GAWminers The Fury is upside-down when the miner is sitting on its feet. Looks a bit odd due to this. Doesn't affect anything performance wise, but cheapens the look a bit.
6. The two included USB cables are very flexible and white colored. NOTE: Both USB cables were a really tight to fit in the USB socket's on the Fury miner's. Please be careful when plugging them in; you don't want to snap the port off.
7. The fan on the Fury is quieter then the fan on a GridSeed 5 chip. This is really good news; I was worried about running these in a bedroom.
8. Blue LED's illuminate when the software miner has connected to the Fury, and this lets you know it's hashing.
9. The cgminer that is available seems like it needs some work. I was having some issues with the cgminer sitting on shares for almost 30 seconds, and then dumping it as stale. The number of HW errors and rejects is also pretty high. I'm going to try it on my laptop and the Zenminer eventually.
10. At 328 Freq. I was seeing around ~1.3MH but I can't say for certain due to the cgminer issues I was experiencing. The average hashrate would drop during these issues; I'm going to try another pool.
11. The included power brick is most likely not going to last a year. I remember reading that GAW was offering aone year (looks like it's 6 months now) warranty on all of these miners. I really hope the power brick is included in that warranty. I'm going to place the brick's behind the Fury to try and catch some of the airflow.
12. The Fury itself does get slightly warm on the side of the heatsink. This makes sense seeing how it's dissipating about 40w of power. The good news is that the included fan / heatsink is able to keep it cool.
13. Having issues getting Zenminer to work; was able to setup the miner, but after logging out I couldn't log back in. In contact with Zenminer trying to fix this.
TLDR:Fury looks nice, includes everything you need to hash, power brick gets toasty hot, ~1.3MH, cgminer is a bit wonky on the computer I tried it on. I'll try it on my laptop and let you guys know if there's a difference in performance. Also, GAW did everything they said they'd do and the product is hashing faster then advertised. I just wish the power brick was better quality. Maybe in future shipments they might want to change it out; reduce warranty issues.

Both GAW and Zeus have updated the Power Consumption. Falcon is now at 1040?
?
That is not going to fly.
?That is not going to fly.
Hoping for the new FW upgrade as well.
The change from 640 to 740 was OK, but with the 1040watt i'm hoping my new 1000W PSU manages until the promised FW upgrade that will get it to the advertised 740w. (Or at least below 850w as most will have a 850-1000w PSU)
Really want to show my support for GAW here. These things need a firmware update asap!
Hello.
When starting week two? Time??

5 gridseed blades = 1 falcon hash wise
watt wise the gridseed blades use half the watts
not good for this new product.
Recieved my fury very quickly hashing at 1.3mh/s just kicking myself that I cancelled my other 9. I thought they would be too big and noisy but they are actually quite small and quieter the gridseeds.
thanks gaw for quick delivery and support
thanks gaw for quick delivery and support
Yes, that's fine, as long as you only have one type of miner per controller. 
Right on, I finally think I solved my power needs and still am having issues keeping a steady hash rate going...not sure whats going on but I'm thinking I'm just gonna goto bed and have to deal with it tomorrow...
Hey guys,
just wanna share the experience
- got my Fury yesterday (i didnt got the tracking number, just the call from local DHL service) - was very happy.
- had some problems with setting it up (started to work after i changed the COM port number on windows and offcourse then on cgminer settings, and restart)
- now running for 12 hours, avg speed 1.2Mh/s (well lots of HW and R, so i beleive the fury could run better with different settings)
using:
windows drivers: http://www.silabs.com/products/mcu/pages/usbtouartbridgevcpdrivers.aspx
cgminer and conf: https://gawminers.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/202184744-cgminer-source-and-config
have a great day,
