For anyone contemplating updating your 7.5th firmware, even though it should be the same, there are differences withe the one installed on the antminer and the one available on Bitmain's website. I highly recommend you don't update, I did and one of my hashboards died not 30 minutes after...
From this screenshot it looks like the lower average must have come from a lost internet connection. Do you have any screenshots that shows that the board actually stops hashing?
Should have read this thread before buying an R4. But I couldn't help myself.
So I have one from batch 5. 7.5 TH/s. It actually runs about 7 Th/s.
The first board tends to go dead about every 12 hours. But to look at the Miner Status screen it's hard to tell. See below. Everything looks fine. But Board 1 is not actually hashing. The only giveaway is the temps. But everything else about it is bogus! We re-flashed the firmware to see if that will help. Anyone else see anything similar?
