i got the shipping address for the chips from MrTeal but do i need to send anything with the chips so he knows these are mine?
To me it seems like a good idea to let him know your name and address

Any new firmware for chilli?
As warm as it gets in there I'm pretty sure that is exactly what it is saying!
And Keefe, hopefully that will be sufficient, I'll just make sure to set them on top of a clean surface such as a block of wood or maybe some cardboard. I'm just putting all my miners in an empty room that has no furniture so I'm improvising as I go.

Shoot, so what do I need to do with your kit now, Keefe? Not sure I fully understand. :/
As long as I can keep it an inch or two off the floor...

The only thing that has changed is letting the unit rest on the screw heads which support it almost as well as the originally planned M+F standoffs that came with the cooler would have. The board is now 8mm off the shelf instead of 12mm. Neither would have raised it an inch or two.

I'm putting together my boards and coolers now. Apparently I overestimated the size of the holes that I planned to put the stock 12mm M+F standoffs through for board feet. They don't quite fit. But the board is small enough compared to the cooler mount, that the screw heads provide sufficiently stable feet.
Noticed the same, clearly not really a big deal, I even succeeded mounting them almost like on your pictures (I cannot made them enter entirely though).I notice that the boards like airflow on the backside, which gets pretty hot otherwise. Performance went up from 32 GH to 37 GH.
While we speak about cooling, is there any way to throttle the fan? It's always at its max speed (noisy).Still don't understand what the 8 LEDs are for...

Does anyone knows the signification of the 8 very small LEDs near the USB plug? I though is could be chips activity, but I only have 4 LEDs blinking, and sometimes the fifth. Thx!
Check this link out for getting the LCD working withcgminer. You will need to modify the scripts a little to get it working with bfgminer, but really very easy.

Damn, this is so easy! Those guys rocks! Thanks for sharing!
Any tricks to getting it running on the RapberryPi? I build those displays at RaspberryPiLCD.com so would prefer to load it on the Pi.
Not sure I understand your question. If you're asking on how to have the Chili work with your Pi, see my post above, compilation of bfgminer is very straightforward. It just work "out of the box", even if you have to plug a powered USB hub if you already have a wifi dongle on the Pi (I've the Edimax, the Chili wasn't recognized until I use the hub).
I just bought the LCD kit also, but I've no idea how I'll get the LCD working yet.

No additional special arguments needed for bfgminer 3.3.0 for the Chili for me after a fresh download and compile like crazydownloded showed above.

anyone that have any pictures of back of pcb whit and without cooler?
Currently getting 69-71 GH/s with two boards connected to my RaspPi. As you can see in the pic they are pulling close to 200W each. One is running ~37 GH/s and the other ~33 GH/s.

Also received mine today (USPS), mounted an EVO 212 with Keefe's kit, worked like a charm.
Hashing at ~32GH/s from my Rasberry Pi/BFGMiner.
To retrieve and compile the latest bfgminer on linux:
#Make BFGMiner to autodetect BFL boxes
#I don't know if it's still required
modprobe ftdi_sio vendor=0x0403 product=0x6014
#Retrieve and install bfgminer
cd ~/
git clone https://github.com/luke-jr/bfgminer.git
cd bfgminer
./autogen.sh
# Avalon driver was buggy and crashed the compilation
./configure --disable-avalon
make
make install

If you don't care about that and only plan to mount it once, you can just use a 6-32 1.5" screw and nut to hold the heatsink down. You can still even use the spring if you want. They're just a more of a PITA to install that way, especially if you take them on or off.
I just did this particular install 4 times (Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO) and it's pretty difficult but stable. Here's a few tips:
- It's easy to remove the fan from the heatsink, so make sure you do that.
- I used 6-32 2.0" screws instead. They were more readily available at Home Depot and ended up making nice feet.
- I found it easier to place the heatsink upside down on a flat surface, then I wedged some needle nose pliers between the heatsink and the "X" apparatus to hold it in place. Then Chili (with TIM) and backplate.
- I inserted the 4 screws form the bottom and attached 4 nuts finger tight. This will be enough to hold the "X" in place and allow you to turn it right side up and tighten the screws.
- I re-used the thicker of the two springs on the 2" screw. The smaller thinner spring didn't really have a use.
- You can remove the springs by using wire cutters on the small black circle that holds the two springs on the screws that came with the EVO.
- Muscle memory will not allow me to type "spring" without typing "string" first.

Now that is sexy!
