L3+ Difficulty Config

Hello,

Like many folks I have recently dusted off my L3+'s and out them back to work. Having some efficiency issues with some and was wondering if setting a static difficulty for each unit would be recommended. I also recently re-flashed each unit with the updated Bitmain firmware but haven't noticed any improvement. Would an aftermarket firmware such as Blissz be the better route?

Thanks!

After market firmware is preferred; I am using HiveOS to manage my cluster of L3+ and the firmware allows me to undervolt each L3+ to 504MH @ 660W (There are various other power-to-hashrate configs available). I think each L3+ attempts to pull 800W with stock firmware.

Link to HiveOS firmware: https://hiveos.farm/asic/l3/

HiveOS is a different beast, but I've heard good things about Blissz firmware - and I think there's a version floating around that has a 0% dev fee as the developer of the firmware is no longer developing it.

I'll admit, I don't know anything about the efficiency issues you describe. All I do is put the HiveOS firmware on a SD card, flash each L3+, configure each L3+, and everything handles itself afterward.
