I've got one board that hashes at full speed, but puts out about 75% hardware errors.  I tried another board with the same power/usb cable and it works just fine.  I've got three boards up and running on three different computers at the moment.  They all seem to be averaging about 21.8 gigahashes at the recommended start settings.

What are your "starter" settings?

My current settings are --drillbit-options int:53:2:850  This produces slightly higher results than 'stock' (int:40:1:850).

had some issues with 950, but will continue exploring
Trying --drillbit-options int:52:2:950 I am getting
'timing out unresponsive AsicX', the Drillbit 8 board doesn't start.  went back to int:53:2:850 and all is fine.

I am seeing the exact same behavior with 1 dillbit 8 board and a raspberry pi, 52:2:850 works fine but [anything]:2:950 causes the ASICs to timeout and then the board becomes unresponsive.

With 52:2:850 there are no HW errors, but the hashrate is ~18Gh/s. Could this be a heating issue? If there was a heating issue I'd assume the HW error count would go up, but maybe there is some hidden throttling happening?

I'm going to leave it running overnight to see where the speed averages out to by the morning.
