Hi gvsrusa,

No reply from innosilicon despite sending them diagnostic logs from the bad A5.

The logs suggest it's a temperature problem (board is too hot so gets disabled?)

I've had a few thoughts - the cooling on the A5 seems to be a huge wind tunnel.

Big fans at each end and the boards hang down vertically in this tunnel.

I'm guessing this is their cheap-ass solution to cooling them rather than putting proper heatsink/fans on each ASIC.

I'd have to void the warranty to open it up but I'm considering putting heatsinks on the ASIC chips to see if I can get them cooler.

Cheers,
