Ramp up is slow but if you set it to Performance + it seems to get a bit more hash and overall the graphs are more steady over the first 24 hours. I have 25 online and had issues with after 36-48 hours losing a bunch due to old firmware so hopefully this fixes that problem.

Anyone have a clue what the new admin password to ssh into these is after this firmware though? blacksheepwall no longer works.

So you would not suggest buying asics?
whats the best algorithm to start mining with considering the future of market?

Due to maintenence, it came that I powered on all the miners at th esame time. So after 12 hours nearly everything is identical. No reboots or freezes, 12h uptime on all miners of the 6th July and 28th August firmware.
Cache is exactly the same on all. Power consumption on performance+ vs performance (July fw) are about the same.

Only fans spin a bit faster on the August fw (5-10%) and the temps are about 5° lower. Ramping up, as reported, takes very long on August fw.

The hashrate graphs look smoother on the August fw because it shows past 12h, the July fw shows only past 4h. So dont get distracted by the smoother graphs.

Thats it for the last 12h. I will see now which unit freezes or restarts first.

Report from a Discord thread about the new firmware:
"Tuning is way different on new firmware. Unless I didn’t notice this before, we now have balance, balance ++,factory, performance-, performance, and performance+. Tuning to performance+ now. I was getting a steady 52Ksol at factory."
