Hi Blissz, could you please explain me why when running a D3 with your mod, at 220v triphase (500 Mhz in both cases, at 10th level Volt global) I get more AMP consumption (mesured with ammeter)

Your mod gives 5 AMP at 500Mhz, level 10 global
Default Bitmain's 4.6 AMP at 500MHZ

As far as i have read, A= W/V, so W=A*V? then, in my particular case, consumption should be higer with your mod or am i wrong?

Which batch you have and what AMP meter do you use?
Actually I found out that voltage setting "13" is the bitmain's default voltage for the October batch, so it's strange that you're seeing more amps on setting 10 actually.

The things you can try:
1) Can you try to lower the voltage setting (ie to Cool to get upto 4.6 AMP or do you see HW errors if you do so?
2) set the FAN to a static value (ie 50%) and check the chip temperatures to compare. Chip temps will give a good indication of the wattage being used.
