No I did not get a better hash rate. The terraminers are designed to run at 1.6Ths regardless of temp until a core hits 120c then it reboots. I also noticed my miners would have one or two cores that where significantly hotter then the rest. I opened my last 3rd machine to cool it and noticed that many of the screws that hold down the cooling block where not even screwed in or they where barley screwed in leaving the cooling block lifted up and not having good contact to the core. Another fail by cointerra. Only apply the LiquidPro to the cores, not the cooling block. Just like the photos I posted.

FYI, my third machine when put back and turned on failed to boot up CTA1. Ive cleaned the board twice but still no mining. It has power but does not boot up and coming online so currently only CTA0 is mining. I will most likely pull this board again and give it a full bath in a last desperate attempt. I was so critical in doing this last cooling job just because of my previous experiences and still I fucked up with no idea how.

If you decide to open clean and cool with LiquidPro its a huge risk but if you can pull it off its well worth it

Hey Scriber how would you go about giving a "full bath" to the board? do you wash it with alcohol or something else? I'm asking because i'm in the same boat as you, I reapplied the thermal compound and now one board does not want to work. CTA0 is working but CTA1 powers up but does not do anything. I've looked at the board all over and don't see anything wrong with the board so i'm willing to trying just about anything to get it working again.

I have a friend who knows electronics and from what he says yes 99% Isopropyl soaking maybe 10 or 20 min. I even suggested light brushing components with a soft tooth brush. Hes going to help me in a couple days and I will let you know how it turns out. Bummer to hear you have the same problem. I feel like something is up with these units once you open them. I wanted to buy 3 more which I know I will have to cool all of them with liquid pro but after these experiences I dont know what to do. If you bath it in 99% let me know how it works

Hey scriber.. I have a few ideas man. If your going to give it a dip might I suggest what I use for phones and ipads, etc.. My mother works for a jet manufacturer and she supplies me with 99.99% alcohol. I know it may seem like a minor difference, but it isn't. You can order it and I have never seen it local, but it makes a difference. I have soaked 2 different ipods in 99, and never worked, once she brought me the 99.99 to test, it actually made them work. Also, make sure soon as your done, let it hit the sun directely. It is almost like if you dry it that fast, it seals it. I cannot explain it, but I have seen it.

Also. You may not even need to do a dip. It is possible a extremely small piece of Liquid Pro got away from you and alcohol will not help with that. I suggest taking a air compressor first and hitting the shit out of it as high pressure air will make it run off. Test that, then the bath if no go.

I made a post after yours if you have any advice it would be appreciated. Sadly, I think I am going to have to tear it down and do more research.

Good luck guys!
