Title: Overclock Complete Post by: knarf180 on December 29, 2013, 06:50:39 PM I finished overclocking my block erupters. Pretty easy to do if you have the right tools.

Added a 1N4148 diode to them to prevent a usb surge/short. Each erupter is now running at round 447mhz instead of 333. Not a huge change but it was fun putting it together. Credit for the work goes to a bitcointalk member named Pugano and his amazing tutorial.

Good job, hope that I can do that someday. Title: Re: Overclock Complete Post by: knarf180 on December 29, 2013, 09:40:21 PM Still need more, not fast enough. erupters are out of the question now, way over priced on ebay.
I guess next step will be the fury line. I'm sure they will be overclockable as well. Title: Re: Overclock Complete Post by: jimmyjimmy on January 07, 2014, 05:02:23 AM If you are new with mining you should check out GUIMiner

For a new user I'd say bitminter.com's java client is the easiest thing to run. Title: Re: Overclock Complete Post by: Dux2K on January 30, 2014, 08:52:31 AM Congrats!
Looks nice and tidy! ;) Title: Re: Overclock Complete Post by: Sonny on January 30, 2014, 10:56:46 AM Each erupter is now running at round 447mhz instead of 333. Not a huge change but it was fun putting it together. Not a huge change? You got 30+% improvement from 333 to 447. By the way, mhz and mh/s are two different things lol. |
