When I fuss with my cardboard and fans, I sometimes get a reboot. Since I run, at the present, without the top, center cardboard cooling the BBB, a 12v fan sitting inside blowing on the left side of the module, another 12v fan outside the case blowing on the right side of the 1 module (Mercury), I added another piece of cardboard to the right of the BBB, to the side and up to the module, taking the air pushed out the side and directing it to the module. The miner white light came on and off as I moved the fans, perhaps a loose pin in an added fan connector, but it started again right away. Put Bertmod back but earlier tried the 0.2.1 and found it works well with firmware 0.90, looked at my cores, which I could with the 0.2.1, and earlier their was a single core not up, but now there are four 100% cores and the BertMod says the power change from adding that one core on firmware 0.90 with ~0.9v to the 4 vmr's, was 174 watts with one core down and 180 watts with all cores running.
Nah, that can't be right as (4dies)(48cores)(6watts)=1152 watts.
So, at 100%, 180watts/(4dies)(48cores)=.9275watt/core.
Trying the 0.95 firmware. Not enthused. Started off with 4 cores 100% but that soon dropped due to the .7volt output of the vrms. Pretty quickly 23.95% of my cores became disabled. That's the bad news. The good news is that my power at the wall dropped from 268watts to 142watts and with BertMod showing 89watts, my power supply efficiency is about the same, 62.6%. I might be able to tweak by raising my PCIE voltage. I wait and see how this settles out.
