I wonder how long until someone kills a BE because they don't know about disconnecting bench PSU outputs before turning it on.

True, but to me as long as people realize that what they are doing can kill one and not act surprised when they smoke it.

I have noticed it also. (the green led thingy) but, when I addd some cooling ... it does not longer happens. So I think maybe the BE100 is overheating?
Also on my 108BEE's farm it happens from time to time. But it is a very short strong bleep.

Right now at 16Mhz 458 448 Mhz one on 1.4V the other on 1.3, Can tell right now wich one is which after 13 hours... it seems that its working but replace the crystal is darn hard.

Well I am not sure, I did mount it on a quite large heatsink and it looks to run about 107F normally, before it was around 135F with the stock piece of metal.

I have gotten it going at 16MHz, with 1.43V @ 2.91A at the board, before made a rookie error , forgot to account for voltage drop in the cables, this supply does not have a remote sense so have to adjust it above what I want which is OK when it is running but when it goes idle the voltage of course jumps up.

After a couple of hours the average is 378 MH/s which at 16 MHz should be closer to 448 MH/s.

Yes replacing the parts is a little hard, unless you have a hot air station which helps a lot.

Off to experiment more...
