I got my boards back from ChipGeek and got the first one assembled. It does a very slow ramp up on the volts but as soon as it hits 1.1v it crashes. After a bit it resets itself and does it all over again. It doesn't force cgminer to crash though. So forgive me but what "trick" should I be doing to keep it hashing?

I have 2 boards that need some "draft protection" over the power modules but still need additional underside cooling.

If its reaching 38Gh it will need the voltage limiting software

"Draft Protection" nice call I moved it away from the fan and it is holding steady right now at 32GH/s at 1.06v. I got them both assembled and they are both holding at 1.06v the other hashes at 35GH/s.

Question for Lucko: Did you test each board and decide the optimal firmware (I know, a lot of work) or are you putting the same firmware on all boards?

I too am pleasantly surprised I expected a host of issues and really have had none (except for damage from shipping) other than moving one out of the way of the fan.

Thanks...

EDIT: Oh by the way the damn red led lights made my heart jump when I first powered it up. I thought uh oh that doesn't look right...
