Biodom or Anyone else,

Help me remember...  Did Batch 6 have 135 chips or 162 chips?  My question was never really answered about number of chips.  I'm curious if I would get similar efficiency with under clocking as Biodom mentions here with Batch 6 but similar with Batch 8?

Batch 6,8,9 are all 135 chip. Efficiency should be similar so long as the Buck Converter is set to the same voltage, which it may well not be, in all batches?

Rich

Can a buck converter provide variable voltage depending on the clock the miner is set at? Some people said by underclocking it raised their efficiency and that should not happen unless the voltage is variable to an extent or there is more efficiency loss at higher speed.
