Yes it seems that there are more  different problems with ASIC. One can try heating up ASCI by covering fan or disconnecting it ( ASIC FAN )- if it will lead to start the DIE than controller is solution

Good idea but there's nothing scientific yet on bringing back dies. I would be a customer since I do have three boards with a die off but I have to do some tinkering with each one to see if they are fixable

It depends on how many DIEs are off.

looks like a great solution but there is no guarantee it would fix the problem and the cost is probably 5 times the revenue a resurrected die would make.

Hi Guys,

I've created MCU controlled temperature regulator.

Controller adjusts fan speed to achieve target (selected) ASIC temperature.

It resolves issue with "DIE off" problem ( some DIEs need higher temperature ).

3 sensors version - 95 EUR [ or BTC eqiv. ] - you can control 3 modules
[ chosen hardware is unable to handle more then 3 sensors + fan control ]
