Or that the original design didn't include any temperature sensors anywhere ....
I think it was 2011 when I first brought that one up with then BFL, still companies make the same stupid mistake today ...

p.s. I finally added tuning to cgminer, options to modify the tuning, and the API stats is full of information about each board ... latest changes are in current git.
I fixed more bugs I copied from chainminer also and found an interesting result the boards return that can be ignored and reduce work checking dramatically.

The Paid GH/s there (how much the pool accepts) is 39.5GH/s

Just to confirm, this doesn't support Bitfury v1.2 hcards/mcard combo? Compiled with --enable-bitfury and it doesn't find anything. And no mention in ASIC-README about hcards...
