oh well looks like crystal swap is in the pipline - upgrade the crystal anyone? thinking maybe a 33mhz in there 
.
.Since I'm curious, I ordered some crystals to test on one pod. I'll report if anything apart from black magic smoke comes out of the tests.
According to gridseed notes, the crystal used can be up to 50MHz.
27MHz arrived at home, so I'll test it on one pod if it still hashes, I'll go for 33Mhz or close
I'm wondering where we can see the difference since the pod only uses the oscillator/crystal as a clock reference.
1000Mhz setting will actually be 1080, but where/how to check?
