Updated the OP with a close up of the Zynq chip there - second to last picture there on the teardown section. Let me know if any of you want any other closeups!

Measure the DC voltage (if any) between the individual heat-sinks; while operating, but open, with additional external desktop fan providing additional cooling.

I'll try to accommodate this. Unit wasn't friendly with me when I had the fans disconnected or even connected, will try a workaround.

Hi,

Does the dragonmint T1 new firmware offer any improvements in hashing speed, or was it to update a different issue?

Good question! I actually lost hashrate with the new firmware. It went from slightly above to below spec with the update. My recommendation at this point is if you have a unit that is hashing around spec, don't touch it with any firmware updates just yet. Halong indicated they're working on firmware updates to alleviate this issue. The GUI had welcome additions, such as individual chain ASIC status charts and a firmware checker, along with autotune capabilities. I'll throw those up here in the OP shortly.
