I can't be that "lucky"

You're not lucky, you're failing to measure it correctly.

The chips run 300w or so each stock; how do you think you're getting from 220v AC to 0.7v DC with 220w/<15% total loss? Fairy dust and magic beans?

Yeah, our digital equipment isn't as smart as you; did you even bother to look at the pics and screenshots??

Yeah yeah, the pool is wrong, the GUI is wrong, and the Kill-o-watt reader is all wrong 'cause you said so.

..SNIP..

I'd guess your VAC is really 231 @ miner not 220.
You neglected to show ASIC total Watts in pic.
Still good numbers, 3.42T is best possible @ 475.

AND/OR

The current clamps have a % accuracy in their specs.
Worst case is low end and 15A is low end for a typical 200-600A clamp.
Unless you have calibrated yours and know,
go with worst case and add that % to total for safety.

The VRM's have an accuracy spec also.
+ or -  2.5A per VRM @ 1.0 VDC output
(spec is @0-40A, no claim made for 50A conditions on 40A part)

Bottom of page 7.

So ALL numbers from miner are just ballpark.

If it were linear, 475MHz is 5% below 500MHz.
285W is 5% below 300W, you are (x)W higher ~290.
That is the price for hot VRMs IMneverHO!
Unless the ASIC is more 'efficient' @ 500 than 475.
Stranger things HAVE happened but not often.

Just like the LM75 issue, not perfect status reporting but they run! Smiley

YMMV
