Update....the latest firmware is a disaster on my miners...I don't like how the asic frequencies are only read from the rom (read only) for starters...the clock selections defaulting to 237.5 was the first sign, along with the other details I mentioned in the first post I made regarding this new firmware..back to 0721 for me and I don't get x's on stock like I do with the new firmware...all in all I think its a piece of junk and should be pulled from bitmain site...and what is the deal with the july 28 firmware...I had it on a few of my ants and now its gone due to the flash ~~"upgrade"~~ downgrade...I cant honestly see any benefit from having the latest August firmware...and for those who will say it helps with overclocking...if that is the help you need to overclock, please quit while you are ahead Roll Eyes

interesting observations and thanks for sharing. I just saw the firmware update on the site and downloaded but now hesitant to update.

Anyone out there that updated and had no issues?

I put on 4 of my early batch miners and it really made no difference on 3 but the 4th is averaging around 475 on the 237.5 and I am only running 2/4 pce connectors. The other actually were lower on the 237.5 and are averaging the same on the 218.75 freq as they were before. One thing I don't like is that it will not work with antMonitor anymore. If he doesn't put out a fix quickly I will probably take them back as the difference isn't worth loosing the monitoring.

I think the key with the new firmware is that it seems like immediately after the flash, there is no frequency set. So, you'll get like 100gh/s, or some nonsense.

I just hit save and apply at the 237 frequency. And, so far they've all increased. I have 2 running at 450 gh/s, 2 running at 475 gh/s and my slacker is still at 440 gh/s.

Other then that, electricity isn't too much of a concern to me, so you're results might need different adjustments then mine.

Disclaimer: all these numbers are increases over previous settings. My slacker has an X that no matter what I have done it is always there, or always pops back up. Cost me about ~ 5% hash speed since the start, (its a batch 1).
