@CryptoCluster

Calculations show that energy efficiency between running same ASIC on low voltage vs normal voltage worth less than 0.5% for 8 weeks after you run it for 45 weeks at full power.

No overclocking for you! They are designing supporting electronics to only be able run chip at low voltage. Only way to overclock is to remove chip, throw everything else out, create another PCB and buy electric components to make it run at standard voltage and assemble all back. Pointless waste of time and money, manufacturer should make equipment the right way the first time.

I hate to reply to trolls, but this is where you're mistaken. The chip automatically clocks higher on higher voltage and consumes more and hashes faster. End of argument.

@punin
No one was arguing that chip can't run faster on more voltage.
did you forget what tytus said?

but You forget the cost of other components on the board. You can pay $4 per Watt in hardware. If You account for this , having a low power chip generates significant additional cost savings.

He implied that they only designing for this chip to run in certain power envelop that is supposedly less than 5W @ 0.5-0.6V doing 5GH
His argument was that it will cost more money to use components that will allow the same chip to run at standard voltage and 2-6 times the power to get only 2 times of performance vs running the chip at low voltage and just putting double of them in the system.

So, if you increase the voltage where it wasn't designed to run that fast and chip will overheat and ether burnout or clocks back down, depending on how it was designed. So, the point that you tried to make is irrelevant to this discussion.
