Quick tip for people with people dealing with fans on the Chili. The Cooler Master Evo 212 using the LGA 2011 parts work great on the chili didn't need anything else than what was in the box.
I only used what came with the fan.
WARNING: You have to be careful not to tighten the nuts excessively.

why not is worst fimware from the earlier/?
so we must updated at new firmware?
No, only if you have a unit that sits and flashes the two end LEDs during self test and doesn't stop.
so we must updated at new firmware?
? how does this board do jobs. i know on early firmware of bfl units it would only do 1 job per / later firmware they fixed it so it would do XX jobs per instead of just 1 job
to me it looks like the board is just doing 1 job at a time is this correct ?
if this this correct any plans on changing it to XX jobs instead ?

Early BFL firmware did one job per device, but they had a hard time getting it to work efficiently. My understanding is that the problem they had is that the frequency of the chips varies between different chips even at the same frequency setting and voltage. They ended up with some chips finishing work early and idling while they were waiting for the last core to finish.
Because we actually measure the frequency of each chip independently, we can more efficiently divide work so that faster chips get a larger portion of the nonce range, and all the chips still finish at the same time. All things being equal, if you can get 100% efficiency using one job per device it's a better way to go, as you'll retire jobs 8x faster than one job per chip and you'll end up with lower stales every time there's a new block.
Updated firmware, that should solve the hang during startup.

also can i say i have fw 1.0.0 as this is what the RW2-BFL-Commport-Scanner outputted for me before
DEVICE: BitFORCE SC
FIRMWARE: 1.0.0
* i ordered a cooler for the chili and will be installing it monday, once the cooler gets here.
also thank u for the new firmware

These is new firmware?
How I install it?
No, it's the same firmware that shipped on the second half of the first batch.How I install it?
Open ChiliFlash, and select the Chili that needs to be flashed from the drop down menu. Browse the the ChiliFW14c.hex hex file, and then hit program. The LEDs on the board should binary count quickly, and when it's done it will prompt to power cycle the unit and the LEDs should flash outer 4 then inner 4 until you do.
Is there a way to determine a board's current firmware version with a serial console? I don't know if I already have 14c, and they're connected to a linux pc. I tried the ZCX command but the output doesn't appear to include the firmware version.

Also which is better more hashing speed
Cgminer or bfgminer?
Cgminer or bfgminer?
Must burn the miner for some hours for have correct speed.
I'm not sure what you're asking here.It does take a little while for the speed to ramp up once it's started as it adjusts voltage and current, but it shouldn't take more than a couple minutes. The average can take quite awhile to get up to speed though.

Any new firmware mr teal
Please
Are yours having an issue of some kind?Please
One of mine is. It often goes into spew-errors mode, requiring a power cycle.

There's no performance benefits to upgrading, it's solely meant to fix those people who had early boards and would hang during the initial startup while flashing two lights.

There are thermal adhesives.
Good stuff: http://www.arcticsilver.com/arctic_silver_thermal_adhesive.htm
It is likely the heatsinks came with thermal adhesive not thermal paste.

Exactly... the tube that came with my Arctic Accelero Twin turbo II is listed as Thermal Adhesive and is referred to as "glue" in the paperwork demonstrating how to use all the heatsinks for RAM and VRMs (the picture saying use pliers to get ALL the glue out of the tube lol).
I have not even fired this up yet... sadly my TIM is still in USPS and has not arrived yet.
Here is whaat I might do with the remaining heatsinks... is this even worth doing?
Probably not. Those don't appear to be high power components. If you don't have a IR thermometer I would try the "finger test". If you can put a finger on it for >1/4 second without burning yourself the component isn't getting hot enough to benefit from a heat sink. The key is the time like checking a grill temp with your hand. If you can hold your finger there for 2-3 seconds before it eventually gets hot enough you have to remove it that isn't "hot enough".
It won't hurt to add the heatsinks if there isn't enough power usage but it won't do much good beyond "nerd bling".
