Custom FW = Vnish = Fried chips. No thanks.

Vnish is not only custom firmware. Neither custom firmware nor Vnish's firmware indicate fried chips.


I am interested in machine if it is still up for sale. Also interested in knowing which firmware is it using.

works great. it uses vnish firmware.

it was set to low setting for a space heater. so chips won't be burnt

it does 987 watts and 38th

very close to 25 watts a th.

it is actually more efficient then the newest s19pro stock clocks.

I have been running it for around 12 hours.

only 4 hw in 12 hours.

That's interesting, because I repair Bitmain Chip boards. 98% of the "fried chips" I encounter ( and I encounter a LOT )are OC'd units and Vnish has 95% of the OC FW on the street these days. Lastly, almost ALL boards that run Vnish FW sustain excessive heat damage. " ALL ". But hey...What do I know. At least he will stand behind his product and warranty it.....oh wait....that's not true.

vnish boards that are overclocked tend to get damaged.
this gear was set up to achieve the best effficiency

so it does 987 watts and 37.7 th

it is more efficient then the s19pro on stock settings. it is good enough to be a space heater.

and i have an arrangement with seller to protect myself from future issues.

So in this particular sale you were wrong.

but i would be willing to guess 70% of vnish gear is cranked like a mofo and not clocked like this unit is clocked.  in those cases you would be wrong.

Having any custom firmware does not mean you have to OC the machine. Also, no one can give you warranty for overclocking, does any CPU manufacturer do that? NO. Does Bitmain? NO. How do you expect any FW maker do give you one?

OC-ing that hard to break your gear / fry chips is not problem of a FW maker, it's user stupidity and nothing more or less than that.

You cannot blame a car manufacturer if you hit a wall with your car on purpose, that is not how warranty or blame in that matter works. Actually, you can blame car manufacturer, but you'd just be plain stupid in eyes of many.
You are doing the same thing.


I will put an end to this conversation here. As any educated user who tried a lot of firmwares and knows what OC-ing (and UC/DC-ing) is and how it works, will know what I am talking about.
This thread is not a place for this anyway.

I have been busy, but yes this unit sold.  I also did keep it at the lowest setting, as that was the least likely to damage and most profitable for my electricity rate.

Thanks again Phil.  Great transaction!
