well blackprapor was gone for more then 20 months.
sierra8561 was gone for 10 months and did overclock.
i my self over clocked 22 s9s for ten days with other firmware and had bad results.
to me this firmware will shine with underclock.
the t17 can do 200 watts less with the same hash or close to the same hash.
on this firmware. so for every 10 you down clock you can add a t17. no harm to gear and more hash. much more sound method of using the firmware.
