Note that we do have onboard monitoring for temperature, voltage, and current, with thresholds set to shut down the board if it appears to be entering a situation that would cause damage. We provide a utility (console and GUI versions) that you can use to talk to this onboard controller via the USB and see what is going on with all the sensors. Unlike GPUs and CPUs, FPGAs have no inherent thermal throttling, unless the FPGA developer builds that into their logic, which is very rarely done. FPGAs also burn more power as they get hotter, so from a power efficiency point of view, it is better to keep them cool.

The OP stated that you will be mining with your own boards. Can you vouch for these hash rates presented by the OP?

We have not yet done any mining, and for the record, have no big plans for this. We have joked internally that perhaps we should use mining as the factory burn in test for our boards. The OP has offered to get us the code once released, and we may play around a little to understand the thermals, etc.

yeah, unlike ASIC miner, i would not like to receive a second hand board, that already spend few weeks/months mining in your secret basement.

Bitmain is a scumbag company. Even if they send you a DOA unit, they will still ask you to pay full price for shipping it back.
They also are known to send used unit and will not give a rat's ass if you complain. They also dont care if the unit shipped do not even reaches you.
