Actually I'm running the jalapeno (the low end entry) from BFL. I did pay for the upgrade as well. So I should be running at 6.5 GH minimum. Instead I'm getting 7.45 GH. Admittedly it runs a touch hot for my taste (averaging around 46-50 celsius depending on ambient temp. in room) but if the 50 GH model were to show a similar increase over its minimum hashrate claimed it would be running around 53 GH/sec.

Using CGminer and running it off of a raspberry pi with a powered USB hub. Nice low energy consumption to keep the jalapeno profitable as difficulty, and network hash rate, rises.

For anyone unaware, Jalapeno is what BFL used to call their entry level miner, now known as the 5 GH miner.

ETA: the 6.5 GH figure is taken from the current claim on older orders of the jalapeno doing 4.5 GH, so with the upgrade 6.5 GH/s.

you think 46-50C is too hot for your taste?! ever mine with a GPU? 70-80's are the norm. if that is at 50C I would guess the fan is working pretty good. wouldnt want that fan failing though

Actually yes I have, re: mining with GPU. I had a caseless, headless BAMT mining rig set up with three cards. The card in the center habitually stayed between 80 and 85 Celsius, the max I was willing to run it at. I ran the rig until I got my jalapeno. That rig was tucked out of the way though, the jalapeno isn't and I've got kids, so I consider it hot since they can come into contact with the case on this one but not with the previous rig. Just a comparative thing.
