Thanks for the great Poduct, these have exceeded all of my expectations!
I have a couple questions, that although they have been mentioned on here, no definitive answers were given.
How many Slave/USB ASICS can the main unit control?
Right now I have 2 Full node/controls units with SBC and 6 Slave/USB ASICS.
Can I remove or disable the SBC to use the second contoller as a slave/USB ASIC? Possibly just plug into first control unit?
The second question will be a tricky one..
I am upgrading power supplies on all ASICs and I want to maximize the hashrate but definitely don't want to blow them up. SOO, each ASIC will have 375w available, I want to maximize Hashrate without killing the hardware. FYI I am using HP Titanium(up to 96% effiecient) server power supplies w/PCIe breakout boards.
In the Custom Miner mode can I put the power all the way to max as I have 375w availbale to each unit?
I guess Frequency will be a try and see.. Inch it up until things start acting odd?
Last thing I want to do is melt the hardware down, but I want to utilize the extra wattage in the most efficeint way possible.
Third thing, I have a linux box(Mint Mate) running full nodes for Digibyte, Decred, and soon Unibright. Would I be better served using that as my controller for the Futurebit ASICs?
Thanks again for an amazing product!!

I can answer part of your question.
I have 1 full node and 2 standard units and I have each one running on a it's own 500watt power supply.
I have power set to MAX (95%) and frequency set to MAX (60).
Max power usage is 277, 270 & 268.
I'm getting ~3.8 Th/s on all three.
Total hashrate on the mining pool is 11-12Th/s
I've had them running for 1 week and so far they have not caught fire. :-)
I have 3 more standard units coming from the 2nd batch and I assume they will run fine plugged in to the powered USB hub.
