About a week ago I upgraded firmware (yes it's old firmware I just never did it).  But after a week no problems with the firmware.

One is a little more babysitting with the X's but that was same before.  Other works all days if not weeks no problems.

What is the firmware date that you are using now?

I went from stock batch 1 firmware to the "SD-C1-20141217.tar" firmware.   So it's retaliative old but I just never got around to doing it.

But it's working for me just as good as stock did, so no regrets on updating.

Anything seem improved that would warrant violating if it ain't broke don't fix it?

With C1 i was not worried since it has micro SD.  It's easy to fix if bad flash.

But nothing noticeable fixed. I hoped the one that get's X's and stuff would improve but its the same.  One runs perfect for weeks other takes a little time to get up right.

And you've tried swapping cooling systems?  Just throwing it out there but I know the disappointment of an iffy miner.  The S3 I got from Florida has not only two sub par hashing boards but last change I tried was the controller board with a good s3 and now that runs 440 rather than its usual 441.  Not a big deal, haven't even put it back, it's just that the miner seemed to be packed with lower quality stuff.  Like one of the inside heatsinks had a stripped screw to start with and the S3 was suppose to be new (but arrived in an opened box from Pines Computer in Florida).  Like some farm gathered iffy components.  And the first S3 which was good had the factory double strip of heatsink compound on each inside heatsink while the open box 'new' S3 had inside heatsinks fully slathered with heatsink compound.
