The beauty about bitcoin is stability. Unlike fiat currencies, it does not fluctuate with political instability. The reason for the recent price adjustment is the reward value halving. We will see such an opportunity at the next reward halving. Until then I can only see it fluctuating very little around 100 usd.
It's okay to open the BFL to change fans, re-apply thermal paste, etc. If it's at 40C you should be able to run a faster firmware. Did you move the BFL after you ran AutoTune?
No, didnt move it at all! It likes where it is
I dont know maybe an error with autotune.
I'll just leave it alone for know, make as many coins as I can before the reward halves
The auto tune decided on the 896 firware. But when I started mining it is started throttling using cgminer 2.8.7 . So I started from the top and worked my way down the speeds. They all throttled except 800. Its running at 40 centigrade right now on 800. Any ideas?? I know I can get more out of it since ambient temps are around 24 centigrade. I may be doing sumthin wrong??
Hmm that is pretty odd. You shouldn't be throttling at such low temps. Maybe one chip isn't getting heatsink contact / proper cooling? One chip might be overheating, while the other is nice and cool and reporting 40C.
Yes, I see what you are saying dear friend.. Yet that hardly explains why auto tune picked the highest speed in the first place.
I will ask bfl if it's okay to open her and check out what is going on inside..
