Okay thanks JoseSan... I'll give it a try. It appears though my woes with Cointerra are more serious than beaglebone. Both of the hashing boards are over heating badly. I saw a reference to some videos on how to repair the cointerra boards by reapplying thermal paste. I looked for the videos but could not find them on Youtube. Can someone please post the link for the videos. It looks like I am going to have to perform a full repair on this piece of crap hardware. Ugh!

Hey mmfiore,

I've done the thermal paste reapplication. its pretty easy.

1. completely remove the processor block/radiator assemblies from the system. You will need to disconnect the power wires from the boards as well since they weave between the hoses.
2. Completely remove all the old thermal paste and clean the the blocks and processors using 90%+ isotrophyl alcohol and q-tips.
3. Apply thermal compound only to each processor, not the pump blocks. About the size of a BB on each core. I prefer "Innovative Cooling Diamond 24 Carat". It will get you results similar to the "Liquid Pro" many others are using but doesn't have the shorting risks of conductive paste.
4. line up the block above the processor and get the mounting screws started. Do not apply downward pressure on the block until all 4 screws are started.
5. Apply firm pressure straight down on the block and tighten all the mounting screws.

Done.
