Still trying to figure out the value of this firmware upgrade
at stock settings I'm getting 18.9 gHz fans @ 2580 and 3390.
so it's less noisy and generates less profit.
plus I have to pay dev fee 1.5%.
When I undervoltage even less profit and HW errors
I have a watt meter coming in soon I will keep you updated if it's worth it.....
I'm not trying to be negative here but these are my observations so far .
I will post again with energy usage
yeah...I'm in the same boat ..this is a great thread to lurk on and learn about this stuff....and kudos to those experimenting
but unless some kinda of algo besides x11 rises out of this project....well, it's kinda moot at the currently x11 difficulty rate
but sure, if you could mine the other algo's you'd get some significant firmware cash..but my take is...if it could have been done easy
Bitmain would have already milked this cow....
(not to say, when I'm with my D3's in the gutter of x11 mining, I may need this less voltage solution....crawling around for some reason to run them
...but alas, that is the asic addiction talking....) unless other algo's in a month or less, they will be 'un-runable' like the old BFL ASIC miners or USB miners
it just won't make any sense...thus doorstops I'm afraid
hope I am utterly incorrect thou....(ego protection don't ya know, preparing for the worse)
