they shipped 100s 5ghs miners and started shipping SC 60ghs miners too, so things looking much beter.
they also offering chips 100 per order with 50% advance payment and 100 days delivery. They are getting on track slowly. I would say not so many companies will ever come back from where they were 6 months ago.
They need cash flow def, that is why offering upgrades, chips ect.

Lot of people have gone ahead with the upgrade it seems. if you have knowledge in electronics and multimeter, you can make such upgrade your self. Most probably it done by increasing on 1 or 2 volts of power. Sort of overclocking. |

Overclocking ASICminer blades is provided for in its guide. Easy.  Power consumption changes correspondingly. Power Consumption: 70-75W on 1.03-1.05V, 83W on 1.1V, 100W on 1.2V, 120W on 1.2V and overclocking For BFL miners i dont think theyll release a guide if there charging for it ,even if it can be done via a trimmer or any component tuning. If it can be done via a component tuning,maybe somebodyll figure it out and post it publicly after they start reaching miners with a electronic modding backgrounds. Until then the upgrade might be the only way. |

This is old news, I upgraded my order last week. Anyway, Josh said that there will not be any physical difference with the upgraded units, it is just a different firmware and in time someone would figure out how to do it at home.

Until then the upgrade might be the only way. why they would release info if they collecting money for upgrades. point is that, it is the same kind of upgrade, there is voltage regulator and there is inductor on Jally too. IF they can overclock it any can too. |
