The problem that persists with any time sensitive tech is should we make it perfect or ship it to the people and update it as we go.

not sure why everyone is missing my point. They did have a working miner and shipped X number of miners with 8 VRMs. So before they go cutting costs they should just test and make sure they aren't frying their product right?

What is everyone's point on 'time sensitive tech' etc. when the reason was they wanted to slash costs before they tested a stripped board?

just own up to that decision KNC

I can't comment for KnC. However from what I recall from one KnC news post. The original designed boards had 8 vrms and in the article they had a comment that it would play a key role on 2nd gen design chips.

However they may have had a set amount of those boards made. And before the tested chips arrived may have commissioned the new asic boards and control units with less components. Perhaps a cost saving measure.
