This is the email I'm talking to Yan on Sales Account <sales@blockc.co>  Or do you want a transcript?

Yes Smiley if you could copy/paste it.  I (and I think others) would be interested reading it in whole.   As there has not been a ton of info on "The smart speed" and were still really learning about it.  

With underclock I think it sounds like we need to find a way to get around it, or disable so the more we know the better.

Alright transcript  below:

to me
Most graphics cards run at 90 to 100 c. 75 c is the core temp of the chip.  Ambient temperature and core are very different

75 degrees wow that seems quite high? Is their a design reason for this?

So what is the max temp range for the hash boards before they start to risk blowing up?

Cheers,

The smart speed is very important.  The reason the fan control works the way it does is because the chip needs to run at 75C for optimal efficiency.  When it gets too cold you get a high error rate.  If you want to verify just set  your fan to min 80% and your hash rate will drop to about 3.0T

Thanks

Happy Thanks giving! You guys pulled my name out of a hat yet for the blog comp? Haha

Can you confirm that it is planned in a future firmware update that we will have control over the fanspeed ie be able to turn off smartspeed?

Thanks,
J

Note the email chain is longer but it's just me looking at getting stuff sent to me in NZ
