What details do you want? I am syncing to 10 stratum 4 servers in my case.
Servers outside of my LAN are blocked by the corporate firewall.

I don't believe the room temperature changes much at this computer's
location.

If I do maxpoll 8, then I get regulation within 1 millisecond. What other
details would you like? I can post my loopstats in the future if that
would be helpful?

I do not know how to analyze the peerstats file, but I can post it if that
would help?
