Have you compared what's being reported in cgminer to the actual hash rate on your pool?
What you're seeing in your mining software is not your true hash rate.

Agreed - my miners are still showing the correct hash rate at my pool not the 'overclocked' rate and I left them running for a good 8 hours with these settings.
Re: DRILLBIT SYSTEM Miners - Thumbs (Temp NA), 8 Boards (0 left)
This is for boards only right? I haven't seen any reports of thumb failures, so I'm assuming this is a component unique to the boards. Testing out the thumbs now, three of the four are performing perfectly (slightly overclocked and getting 2.6-4GH/s hash rates each). One thumb was throwing hardware errors out of the box and always underperforms - once the voltage was set to 950mV, the errors went away (until I overclocked the other boards).

w00t, the mailman was good to me today, got my four thumbs a few minutes ago (had to sign for the package, make sure you are home if you haven't gotten them yet!). Everything was well packed - lots of bubble wrap! Now I'm reflashing my Pi with the forum version of MinePeon. Will post results once I get everything up and running again.

I just hope my thumbs get here in comparative time. Mine seems to be getting the third degree in long island and its still got a few hundred miles to get to me.
They were probably too busy watching the snow fall over here.

Hmm, did you get tracking information for your thumbs? Was excited to see the mailman today with all the reports of delivery and let down when he drove off and no thumbs. I figured that being just outside of Chicago, I'd be among the first to get them, oh well,fingers crossed for Friday.
ok its functioning..but its crashing after an hr or so... is it the OS, SD card or what

I was having frequent crashes with a wifi adapter that seemed stable on Rasbian - after one crash the adapter stopped being recognized. I haven't bothered to test it anywhere else as the Pi sits right on top of the gigE switch in my office so it's not like I actually needed the wifi. Ever since pulling the adapter I'm seeing multi-day uptime's, it still crashes on occasion, but on the order of once a week instead of 6 times a day. I'm also running the Minepeon 0.2.3a image currently.
Good to know, it's stable enough for now. I'll keep that in mind when it starts annoying me again

Re: [OPEN] NanoFury NF1 USB stick - GROUP BUY of BITFURY chips + US PRODUCT ASSEMBLY
Thanks for the quick reply, I think I missed something in the wording of my question. I understood (for the most part - the extra detail was much appreciated) why the heat was dissipated from the back of the board. I was looking more to understand why the traces for the USB power were on that side of the board and not on the side with the components. After actually checking the traces again, I realized that you did design your board opposite what ASICMiner did and the heat sink will actually face up when plugged in (at least on the two machines I have in front of me).
Re: [OPEN] NanoFury NF1 USB stick - GROUP BUY of BITFURY chips + US PRODUCT ASSEMBLY
Board looks nice, question though. I know for most of us running these thumbs it likely won't matter much as they'll be vertically mounted and fan cooled, but why are the heatsinks on the NF1 and the ASICMiner thumbs on the bottom? I understand why they aren't on the chip itself, but it seems weird to me that with heat prone to rising, the design has the heatsinks below the thing that they cooling. It's been bugging me since I bought my first BE and plugged it in seemingly upside down to a USB port on my laptop before eventually moving it to a hub (and Pi) after getting it a brother. Anyway, just a question from a curious person with no more money to buy cool looking products 
Re: [CLOSED] - GROUP BUY of BITFURY Chips + DRILLBIT SYSTEM mining assembly
At this point it is possible that our original order will be moved up as well. BuzzDave posted something similar to that. However, if that doesn't happen, this second batch is in fact a completely separate deal. The chips are sold by a completely different vendor who handles sales differently. Maybe they will let people move up in line, maybe not. I'd consider moving up my original order even. This is all still up in the air and it is no reason to get upset. So far Barntech has been pretty stand up and I feel they will handle the situation accordingly. Nobody knew this reel was coming, instead of looking at it like a bad thing, think positively about it. I am very happy that other people will have a chance at a decent mining rig especially since the chips were already made and going into someone's hand. I imagine the really unhappy customers will be the people who purchased a ton of USB miners after the 8-chip boards ran out! Hopefully they will get their chance to upgrade those to a board.
I'd love to switch my four thumbs to an eight chip board, even if it meant purchasing four more chips on top of the four I've purchased. This, on top of the already larger cost of the thumbs vs the eight chip board. But I'm certainly not going to be unhappy or raise a stink if that's not an option (otoh, if it is an option, customer for life?
). Just offering the option to move delivery of what I already ordered up by a few weeks for a fairly nominal increase in cash due to chip prices may be worthwhile. I bought the thumbs due to a bout of mental weakness, if I can't get something better for the same price, it's my own fault, nobody elses. I do agree that the ones that will be the least pleased will be those that jumped in early, yet too late for the real good deal, but we few had a choice to not jump in.1.666Gh/s across 5 Block Eruptors and have 4 Drillbit USB thumbs on order at 2.7Gh/s each. Been tempted to get some more BE's with the price drop, but can't justify spending any more money with no hope of ROI. I certainly don't expect my hobbies to provide income, although it would be nice for it to at least pay for itself.
