the engineer in me made me refuse to quit on this miner
The 5 times button will bring you back to overclocking if you upgrade to pre .95 after doing it. If you have .94, .93 etc and use the button it won't switch until flash it after the reset.
Since I have one bad VRM I can't run .93, .92 or .91 but I can run .94 on it without the FPGA error loop
This allowed me to bring all 4 boards overclocking again but with .94 not .93.
I have gained substantial Gh (avg 430-440Gh now, but have seen it spike up a few times when it tries to bring back cores. cgminer hasn't restarted yet on it after 30 mins)
I do have a permanent 48 cores dead due to the bad VRM now.
(the modded firmware can't read that they are off when VRM is in this state)
Here are the stats from about 30 minutes of hashing:
avg Gh from BTCGuild ~445 (75 Gh increase from running .95, it was ~520 before the 'upgrade' to .95)
ASIC slot #1: 46.5 ℃ (the bad VRM board - back left)
ASIC slot #2: -
ASIC slot #3: 50.0 ℃ (front left)
ASIC slot #4: 44.5 ℃ (front right)
ASIC slot #5: 55.5 ℃ (back right)
ASIC slot #6: -
Total DC/DC power output: 683 W (used to run 770watts when ~520Gh)

WU steady 7500-7600 which is about 1000 more than when it ran .95 but about 600 less than before messing with .95
other miner on .93 has been running WU over 8200 for days
