What's the most accurate way to benchmark kernel modifications?
Using --benchmark or connecting to a pool? What time interval? Any other reccomendation?

Poolmining is never completely reliable, especially if there's vardiff which will always fluctuate. But even with fixed diff you'll have to run it for a long time to be sure.
--benchmark had plenty of issues in the past so I've stopped using it so I'm not sure how it is recently.

For checking speed only, I personally like to just solomine to any local wallet, doesn't even matter if the algo is different and just check the reported hashrate.
Stable clocks and fix fanspeed recommended.

Regarding aluminum cases, I'm also curious how much people who own them paid for them.

frames? ... i build them custom ...

the frame ( 1.5mm square aluminium tubing ) - edge connectors - screws and lugs - angle iron ( 90 degree edging ) ... all this comes to approx $70.00aud ...

but initially i had to buy the cutting and measuring equipment as well as the files and mallets ( yes plastic head mallets - not hammers ) ...

parts alone - not counting labour - if you are looking at adding teh countless hours to design the thing in the first place ...

prototype 1 - prototype 2 and now prototype 3 is probably the design we are going with ...

hope that helps bathrobehero ...
