I have an order for two jallies (5GH/s) and was planning on flashing them, do you guys think upgrading to 7GH/s to get better chips would be worth it?

That's a good question -- up until now it seemed like everyone could flash to 8+ GHz, but now there's someone who couldn't get better than 7.  The problem is that upgrading to 7 doesn't ensure that you will be able to reflash to 8.

Josh stated that for 7GH version they will use binned chips.

The 7's will have chips that do 3.5 GH/s easy . The 5's may or may not, depends.


And again a quote from Josh:

Upgraded units use Class A chips, yes.
