On another note, I sent one of my Acorns to be RMA'ed, so I'm down to just one 215+.  I asked them for some VRM heatsinks too.
I discovered something really interesting with running one Acorn. 

There is definitely some inadvertent GPU boosting happening when I'm running one 215+ mining, but not boost to GPU mining, but boost to GPU gaming performance.   

I recently got around to running 3DMark tests on my Threadripper/CrossFire VEGA workstation and I am shocked to discover my scores are higher when I leave the AcornMiner running mining Tribus.   No BS.

:proof:
Here is my Fire Strike score on my Workstation with the 1 Acorn on M.2 not mining.

Here is my Fire Strike score on my Workstation while the single Acorn on 1 M.2 is mining Denarius Tribus.

See how it went up over 100+ points, that's some kind of enhancer as one would think running any crypto-mining in the background while benchmarking would produce negative affects.


Thats not proof.

You have to show clocks as well as processes.

It's simple to manipulate benchmarks.

If you don't know how to prove it ask these guys.

Do you think I'm going to waste my time to making this up as a lie. That's dumb and immature.

Take it for what it's worth, I have an Acorn CLE-215+ that I normally mine a shitcoins and I've notice leaving it mining while running 3DMark benchmarks it boosts output score.   If you have an Acorn CLE-215+ on a M.2 test it for yourself if you don't want to believe me.


Also, I just got my 2nd Acorn back from RMA today, installed it.  Now mining 2 acorns at 150Mhz again and I just ran another Fire Strike benchmark.

It's even higher now.

I've been playing around with these 3D Benchmarks on my Threadripper workstation for a few days now. 

See my Fire Strike challenge thread, where I go beyond these minuscule Fire Strike scores with this PC.
