StealthMiner Update 1.2.6-rc2
The StealthMiner uses a white label Vnish and new update is out with new features and a pleasant surprise of 3 more "tuner" settings added to the JPro+ model boards used in the StealthMiner JPro+ model.
Previously, the tuner profiles covered ~27-30 TH operation on the StealthMiner with Noctua fans and unmodified APW3++ PSU. Nominal operation has now opened up to ~21-30TH, and those are the numbers I feel safe claiming. Some boards have gone up to 32TH on the Noctua + unmodified APW3 combo before. Individual boards may vary in performance even when ambient conditions are the same.
This update brings a whole list of changes. Up until today, StealthMiners were loaded with 1.2.5-rc2. Below are some highlights pertaining to the StealthMiner JPro+ model. (Complete changelog available here)

Installing the update:
- Download the appropriate update file for the JPro+. Some of the earliest units went out with SD card installs as we couldn't load direct to NAND just yet.
- Navigate to the Firmware update screen and load downloaded '.tar.gz' file. Do not unzip the file, just load it as is
- Walk away for about 10 minutes and allow the firmware to load
- You might need to close the tab and reopen or even clear cache for update to show in UI.
