hi guys,
I have a similar question regarding HW errors, my D3 that has only been running for 3 days now and have been having varying results with my HW errors.
The first day I ran it, the following numbers were my results:
310, 0, 251 (nonce# 0.081% diffa# 2.35%) after 1.5 hours.

Today I ran it for almost 10 hours and had the following: 615, 545, 0 (nonce# 0.0232% diffa# 0.7781%)

Restarted the D3, and after an hour, I had the following: 3, 0, 125 (nonce# 0.0234% diffa# 0.59%)

The thing that worries me a bit is that it is never consistent, not always the same chains have HW errors and the rate at which they occur is never the same.
I have been struggling to find an "acceptable" number for HW errors, I know that they are "normal" for ASIC machines just trying to figure out at what point is it no longer normal?

Thanks!!
