Maybe. I know I had some chips the "misbehaved" until I updated. Can't hurt. Check the frequency also. One of my tubes had a blade that chips would disappear on.
Had to clock that one at 260 to get all of them working. And keep it super cool (2 fans).
after updating my board cards listed as board 11 dead. what could be?
I have had the same thing happen, board just stopped working. PM'd FC & PB and was told to ship back @ +$100 for shipping back to China not really cost effective (.16BTC --> $125 + $100 for RMA == $225 for 180-220GH/s) I just added the $100 to buy a S3 from BitMainTech. The lack of RMA support in the industry leaves MUCH to be desired, Bitmain used to be the NO-Brainer, but since their sale there has been a shift.
I bought 40 boards from FC/PB of that 2 have shit-the-bed, 1 or them burned up. I presented the damage and was shipped a new board +100. #2 bed shitter did not burn-up (no visible damage), but like you just stopped showing up for work. I was told to ship back to receive new board, ugh.. -1000. AM needs a US & EURO dealer else no way they will be able to support 30PH a month sales.
I for one am NOT buying anymore chinese boards w/out FREE RMA process. FYI @ these BTC prices 5% is all that's left, so either STOP selling every GD BTC you get and HEY invest in the f'ing market you are profiting from or enjoy your noodles too.
