Counterpoint: undervolting bought me 14% efficiency for a small hashrate haircut, and I'd do it again. Anyone tried the opposite?

Reading this from {place}, I moved everything to a used server PSU and the difference was bigger than any chip tweak. Curious what the group thinks.

Good thread this. I moved everything to steel seed plates and the difference was bigger than any chip tweak. What's everyone else seeing?

This matches my experience. my Bitaxe has been at it for 88 days straight and the numbers at the wall still surprise me.
