Actually a 400GH and a 425GH unit, and labelled so on the small fan's side. BFGminer reports couple of degrees above room temp, more shed temp, running about 22C. Odd thing is I found bfgminer shut down 2 times now. I'm kind of busy and don't have time to sit down with the miners and host and the bfgminer manuals to see what's to adapt, but I guess overclocking goes by fw like the sc's did?
And 5% and 4% hw errors btw, 0% and 0% rejected.

Hm, ok, that's still quite good, so this is not affecting hash rate. I'll take a look at mine tomorrow, still solid as a rock at 702gh. One set of FETs is running at 100C (quite warm, not super hot yet), the other at 80c (eh). I might put a fan on the front, but no errors, error rate 1.9%.

Hm. I just put a little BFL jally fan pointing at the top side FET heat sinks head on, temps dropped from the 90's to the 60's. Note to self: Dropping FET heat can be done with a simple little fan pointing at them head on. Very interesting, I may have some room to play with like this. Drill 2 holes in the mounting bracket for the old jally standoffs and it will be permanent.

I'm going to let it run for 24 hours like this. Then go from there.
