Been running custom firmware for over 2 years. As long as you get a good one I have actually been able to extend the life of my miners due to being able to run it cooler and use less electricity.

Funny enough not a single person has complained about a damaged machine. But there is a disclaimer and built-in safeguards with this firmware to prevent it from overheating. if someone throws a stupid high voltage or frequency and cooks their machine that is their own doing. There is a warning in this thread and on the download page that you can damage your machine if you push them too far. There is even a disclaimer about not making your frequency range too large from chip to chip with manual tuning.
Also, your account is old. You made no post all of 2019 except for this comment you cross commented. You never mentioned buying an asic, antminer, or any of the current-gen miners. Yes, I went through your full post history and it looks like you use to post about gpu rigs only. So I have a feeling you are just spreading a warning because you used some other firmware that had issues or this is something else....
If it was a newbie, that comment would probably be deleted already. I was laughing my ass while I was reading it. Just ignore it.

I've also had some dead boards at recommended settings. I've been very careful and understand the risk. I wouldn't have bothered posting about it because I know their can be consequences. What the other poster stated was true, although it has been a small number in my situation. To be clear I'm not blaming or crying, I know what can happen the minute I flash a aftermarket firmware.
EDIT: I'm trying the firmware on S17 56T, S17 50T Pro, S17 53T Pro

So after you using a bunch of different firmwares on different units (judging by your previous posts) you just happened "not to cry" here as well as BlackPrapor and note that it is in same day and both of you are not even active on forum anymore. Is it only me or is this fishy?

Yeah lot of people are trying to push their machines way beyond 70th/s which I mean I can't blame them but if you don't have the cooling to do it. It isn't worth doing. Better off shooting for a mild 15-20th/s increase where no one has issues than going into uncharted territory. At least that is my input on it. We provide a few settings on the website to attain the small overclock and to attain a good underclock/undervolt. Those should be a baseline and there really is no need to go away from that unless you have free power and are willing to risk it.

well blackprapor was gone for more then 20 months.
sierra8561 was gone for 10 months and did overclock.
i my self over clocked 22 s9s for ten days with other firmware and had bad results.
to me this firmware will shine with underclock.
the t17 can do 200 watts less with the same hash or close to the same hash.
on this firmware. so for every 10 you down clock you can add a t17. no harm to gear and more hash. much more sound method of using the firmware.

We got a guy in our telegram group that got his T17 down to 42.5w/th at 40.5th/s I honestly want to buy a bunch more after seeing his numbers. What S9 firmware did you have bad results with?

He deleted his post/ post was frodocooper'ed , his account is shady no doubt, but the info he had put together are someway reasonable, overclocking your gears is risky, nevertheless ,it does bring more profit so in some cases it is worth it. "Does overclocking shorten the life-span of any electronic equipment?" is an ever lasting debate, an overclocked gear may last longer than a gear running at stock setting or even under-clocked, there are no real accurate numbers one can use to determine the amount or possibility of damage caused by over-clocking , but it's safe to assume that overclocking must be done in a reasonable manner to minimize the risk the maximize the gains BTCBTCBTC.

July 2019 bitmain. But all those s9's are old and all were running for years at 13.5 then jump to 15.0 everyone had an issue with the center board. Not so much the board temps but the current draw at the jacks and plugs. I browned just about every set of center board jacks. Now I have yet to set up any of the t17's with your firmware. But I plan to do so. I also plan to buy around 4 or 5 more of them. Since they would be very good running 42.5 -45watts and 42.5th.

Does anyone have settings for best underclock lately? I have been running my s17 pros at 66th @ 2800w. So it's essentially a s17e or whatever. If I go higher than that, it can push to 75th but the power ratio goes out the window and I'd rather leave it at a stable overclock. T17 I have no tried yet, trying to figure out most efficient settings honestly.

I have yet to even try one t17. But I will do so soon. Once it works I will shoot for 45 watts a th and 42th hash power. If I do it I will buy more of them.

Let's just say I know of a few people that are competitors in this field that I know are going out of their way to mess with me. Hence why I am a skeptic of these old accounts popping back up and also a lot of accounts were sold on the forum. Luckily some of the people they are talking to just told me flat out what they were doing... So that is always fun. Does anyone have settings for best underclock lately?

T17 someone got it down to 42.5th/s On the website I listed a range for T17 to try for downclock. The newer ones clock down much better. I would avoid overclock on T17 personally.

Take it for what it's worth, makes no difference to me. Not to meaning to blast this thread with posts. To be clear in this situation it is 1 firmware on 3 different S17 models. Not several firmwares. Overall the firmware is awesome and I have no regrets using it. well blackprapor was gone for more then 20 months.
sierra8561 was gone for 10 months and did overclock.
i my self over clocked 22 s9s for ten days with other firmware and had bad results.

I'm active on a telegram group with you. I have yet to even try one t17.
But I will do so soon.

I always tend to jump right to the overclocking route. I've admired how you always explore underclocking, which in several cases has been the right way to go.

My Kia forte can do just over 100 miles an hour on a slight downhill straight way.
I did it one time. I don't push it.
Same with mining gear.

I am quoting this in topic. This made me have a good laugh. Edit: Just a heads up. Alexander Levin from asicseer is currently trying to spread my dox and harass me. If you see my personal information listed anywhere please link it to me as this is an ongoing case of harassment by a competitor. They are apparently upset that during my email blast I emailed a few of the companies they do business with. I am trying to compile a list of him, his companies, and employees harassing, impersonating, and attacking me for my safekeeping. I really appreciate it. Such a childish behavior from someone who feels threatened by a superior product I guess.

I am doxxed for no reason that I know of on some bs website. bad buyers dot whatever.
someone made a false claim about a purchase and said I am a bad buyer.
I suspect one of the scammers I caught on this site did it. So good luck 🍀 with the doxxing.

Happy New Year to all, any updates on the auto tune completion? Does any one have some good power savings settings? Ive done the 400 @ 16V, getting 24th and around 4-5 amps on multi-meter, this is on a fairly new pair of T17, if i over clock to 850 @17.5, i avg 46-47th but 3rd chain and four RED 0, they also run the fans WAY to high on auto, none of the chip temps even hit 60 and fans screaming at 5000RPM, i use manual fan and set to 20% im in manitoba, been a little warm here so the sucking in -15C ish air, any help is always greatly appreciated

Yeah the auto fan s quick to max out the fans... Sorry about that. About two weeks left for autotune update. We have seen S17 drop to 25w/th at speeds in the mid 30th/s we are expecting T17 to be able to drop T17 into the 30s while still maintaining a decent hashrate.

That would be fantastic, by chance you have settings that could be manual set to achieve 30 watts ish per th

I will ask what the settings were. They also got 25w/th at 36th/s on S17
