Title: Block eruptor blade voltage requirements?
Post by: MagicMike523 on July 10, 2013, 04:00:19 PM
I'm curious about the 12v input on the blades.  It says 12v 10a, but what is the voltage tolerance?  Can they be hooked directly to a battery at ~13v?  Can they handle 14v, or 11v and function normally?

  I'd expect the regulators to have some tolerance built in, but does anybody know from experience what it is?

I'd expect no. They are designed to run specifically at 12V.

Adjustment of voltage to 12V is not hard thing. Why do u want get higher voltage? Do u want get more hashrate?

Depends on the design of the buck converter. But that;s not the way to overvolt / undervolt though :)
