Canaan 821 to 841 firmware swap

[Cryptohasher76]

Iv'e searched around and have not found an answer. 
 Since the 821's and 841's use the same hardware, is it possible for load the 841's firmware on the 821?

Short answer no. The 821 will not like being told it is an 841; not even sure if it would load properly.

Are you trying to get more power out of your 821? Best bet is to play around with your voltage settings to see if you can squeeze a little more out of it.

     it was a thought, i have 2-821's that I am going to start back up.   I'll just mess with the settings like you said.  Depending on how bored I get, i might see about compiling my own firmware.

Thanks.
