I was able to fix the issues with my boards. Instead of just thermal paste I used:
Fujipoly / ModRight Ultra Extreme System Builder Thermal Pad Blister Pack - 1/2 Sheet - 200 x 150 x 0.5 - Thermal Conductivity 17.0 W/mK
I cut small squares of the thermal pad, cleaned the paste off the cooler and the chip, and applied the pad material. This made a huge difference in the cooling ability of the fans.
Just an FYI if you are having issues...

Is there a diagnostic procedure for the HEX4M running on the TP-Link devices?
I have several HEX4M boards which are running around 4Gh and I was hoping there was a process for figuring out what is wrong with them.
I remounted the coolers with fresh paste and tried different settings but they still don't behave properly.

I have not received a single board yet. Waiting on 25 boards.
second week of no boards delivered. still waiting for 67 more boards.
Where any boards shipped out this week? I didn't get my usual email from DHL that a package was being delivered... Still waiting on 67 more boards plus 1 rma.

I was in Batch 1 and have not seen any boards as of yet. How far along are we now?

According to my math if I exchanged my orders I would end up with 200 chips which is 50 boards.
This would be 20000 GH/s and 20000 watts.
The problem I have is hosting at that point. Is there any option for hosting these with Miner Source?

We are working on that option, odds are it shouldnt be a problem. Pricing is up in the air at the moment.
I have had good luck working with you and I am up for it again.
Count me in.
Let me know what steps I need to take next and we will shoot the moon.

For those who have assembled their chilis with thermal pads instead of paste -
Do you cut small squares for each chip or have you been using one large pad that also covers the open area between the chips?
Thanks!

I used one large pad which also covers the open area between the chips. I have had no problems with that technique.
Re: The Chili – 30+GH/s BFL based Bitcoin Miner Assembly [Batch 3 open]
We might take a look at something like that. The minions are interesting chips in a lot of ways. A lot of the basic design is done, so while it wouldn't be a dead simple port like Avalon Gen1 to Gen2, it would be a similar interface and setup to the BFL chips.
EPIC!
I am in! Should we start a tally somewhere to get an idea of how much support there is for this?
Bob, what do you think is a fair price per chip since you are THE first person in line?
I cant really sell the chips at a discount, but I can offer them to be delivered ASAP. I guess I should make the thread now..
Count me in as well.
Well, I ran into a problem with two of my Chili's. I installed ARCTIC Accelero Twin Turbo II units on all the boards but two of them dropped down to 22Gh/s at 67C.
One of the two was in service for weeks before the problem and the other ran fine for two days before it happened.
I used "Fujipoly Ultra Extreme System Builder Thermal Pad - Full Sheet - 200 x 150 x 0.5 - Thermal Conductivity 17.0 W/mK" and the Arctic back plate to prevent flexing.
Should I try using the Arctic paste on these two instead?

Thank you both once again for making this happen. I know it was a ton of work but the results are fantastic!
If you want to see them in action, here is a photo you will either like or cringe when you see.

Anyone found a graphic card cooler that would work good with this board?
I have been using the Arctic Accelero Twin Turbo II for these with good results. I bought the Arctic back plates as well to give the board more support.
Do you have a link to the back planes?
The page is messed up on the Arctic site but here it is:

I have been thinking about using PCI cages to mount the boards instead of PC cases. I could also use rack mounted cases.
These support 6 boards each and should be pretty easy to mount in a mining configuration. Any comments?
