Guys my miner was working at 38gh fine, now its back down to 30? Any reason why and how can i increase back to 38 again?

Are you using a stratum proxy, by chance?  When that happens on mine, it's usually because the proxy is stuck sending diff1 shares for some reason.

After a restart (or three) of the stratum proxy, it will start sending higher diff shares again (starts at diff3 and climbs) and hashrate goes back up.  This is just my personal experience with Cubes and stratum proxy connecting to Eligius.  Also, purely anecdotal, but I use the "-rt" switch with mining_proxy too.  I'm pretty sure I only get diff1 shares w/o it, but really need to confirm this.  Confirmed, diff1 shares only when I do not use "-rt".

I tried restart but still at 30, i am using a blade and a cube so getting around 40ghs at the moment.

What do you mean about the -rt? Will that help as I had 2?

It totally depends on your setup.  Do you run a stratum proxy?

I run a stratum proxy.  The cubes connect to it.  This is the line i use to start my stratum proxy:  mining_proxy.exe -o stratum.mining.eligius.st -p 3334 -rt -q

If I do not add "-rt" then I only receive diff1 shares.  Processing diff1 shares is terribly inefficient.  It creates so much network and process overhead that it reduces my max hash rate.
