Ill send dimka890 the 2 last free sample chips because he will create a sample miner and offer assembly. He made a post with pictures of his pcb's in german thread some days before too.
Some new infos from burnin and BKKCoins. The both competing miner designs seems to be nearly complete and overclocking capabilities tested. Since klondikes can be created for nearly half the price of burnin's miners (when taking cost per chip and using marto74 as assembler) it looks like burnin's design can be better overclocked. BKKCoin still has problems with noise that leads to higher errorrates but he hopes to solve this with ferrite beads to suppress this. Lets see how his design works out then.
Burnin did a promising test with aircooling and watercooling.
Fyi, the K16's of BkkCoins are finished. Looking eagerly to see Bitburners get into production
I hope some overclocking tests are done too. And i would like if burnin could make a overclocking test with watercooling so one could check if its worth.
Done some measurements as requested.
But again didn't dare the 1.3V. (maybe tomorrow)
But i am pretty sure that with 1.3V the 450Mhz could be doable.
The stabilizing effect of voltage adjustment is obvious with this dataset.Core Voltage can be adjusted in fine steps just like your GPU, not just 1.1/1.2/1.3 like planned before.
The Water cooler did not have the impact i had hoped for.
But the undervolting tests were encouraging.See for yourself:
ambient: 25°C, water temperature 26°C
