I second that. I'm getting between 575 and 625 on my day 1 shipment miner (which arrived on day 5) .

what temps are you seeing?? added fans or just open case ?
I am running an open case. With the issues I had in the beginning I've just made it habit. I have a workstation set up in my garage and I run my miner down there since the temp is considerably lower right now. I work on PC's a lot and instead of buying expensive canned air to clean them all the time I invested in an air tank, hose, and blow nozzle ($50) that I can fill up any place with an air pump. Works great to keep my miner/fans clean in the garage too. I blow them off about once a week to keep residue / dust off. I have actually been paying close attention to the temps since I applied the mod. At first I had 2 ASIC's that were getting close to 70, the other 2 are good to go and run between 48 - 56 give or take. From what I've read 70 is no worries. I had a box of PC case fans (nothing special just plane jane case fans) I had ordered some time back and plugged 2 of them up to my power supply and positioned them at about a 45 degree angle on the sides of the ASIC boards that blow air on top and underneath of the boards. Surprisingly this took the temperature down a pretty good amount. Honestly most of the heat seems to be coming from the voltage regulators vs the ASIC chips. I have to say that I have been lucky with my DIE's too though. Pretty happy with the output right now. When it gets too expensive to run this thing I will go balls to the wall just for fun to see what I can make happen, as I may be able to provide info to people getting the new KNC products. If I fry it then oh well as I'm planning on taking the miner out to a field and blowing holes in it with my AR-15 when no longer needed. Although I will remove the nice heat syncs if they still work OK. Long story short.. I am running a Cooler Master Silent Pro Gold 1000w PS and my outputs are as follows:

I mine with Eligius now and you can have a look at my stats:
