the one miner that was roasting and I cooled it and ran .93 to get it stable at 520Gh was running 770watts on a 850psu

so.... I put .95 on it and it lowered everything.  300 less watts, 490Gh and 10 less degrees C on all boards...

but, soon it dropped to 470Gh so I switched back to .93 and had crap luck since.

I've done a lot of experimenting on this miner the past few hours and it is very odd to see that sometimes one module will be stuck turning off and turning on 12-24 cores and then sometimes another module will do it and the other wont... but atleast one does.  It is only the back right and front right that take turns doing this.  I put more cooling on those both (propped it right against an window a/c unit) and no luck with .95 or .94

worse is that going back to .93 will get the dreaded FPGA lock up loops now... so it seems I can't run the one firmware that was able to deal with whatever wack-a-core issue that is with this miner.

so I am back to .95 and it has dropped down to ~400Gh stable which is a joke.   KNC lives in a fantasy world where they just attack one issue and think they cured cancer each time.

I'll probably try to get .93 running again, it might just be luck of the roll with restarts
