Yes, buddy...
This is what I am doing first...test them as they come...stock...no mods...@850MHz ...to check how good are they...each one...
Second...: Apply the thermal mod...Paste...new, thicker, better thermal pads...shims, if nesessary...TEST again...Most of them are going to 950 min...1000Mhz...NO volt mods yet...!
Out of 10 => 4 @ 1000...4 @975...1@950 ...1 slacker @925MHz ...NO HW errors...this is my belief that every HW error is lost...non submited...unpaid work...this is like your miner STOPPED for this period of time...5-10-15 min...so I opted for NO HW errors at all...
Voltage mod next...I am using my own...Test again...etc...
Capisco...?...
It is just me...you could create your own test/mod...
Cheers...Beer here...
Thanks for the response ZiG, I will be more than happy to take some screenshots of cgminer before and after to post and let everyone know the results I was able to achieve with this mod.
Just so I'm clear, you remove the existing thermal pads/paste, clean the unit with alcohol and then apply paste to the chip and bottom of the heatsink with the copper shim or new pad sandwiched between?
