Actually, what matters most is the heat of the BM1397 chips.
If that heat is going away, to other components, then that's good.

One way to measure this is the W usage, since it will go up, at the same frequency, if the chip is heating up.

Yes and i have done that to calculate the expected BTUs etc from the asics, what i found was about a linear growth, 50w per 100Mhz of freq increase and about 10+ degree increase. i am preparing some thermistors to check temps at bottom on art of the heatsink that i assume might be closer to the asics if there is good thermal transfer.

have another question on the Api, i sent via python a post message with command=ascset parameter={0,freq,400} but it returns “Unknown Option: freq” is there any documentation. on the payload to be sent using json? i used the page that explains in summary the api but as it uses | i am not quite clear how will it read using json command/parameter format.
