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.

The fans were taken off an old CPU and converted to USD.  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.

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.

If you are new with mining you should check out GUIMiner

I'll have to disagree with you there.  For a new user I'd say bitminter.com's java client is the easiest thing to run.

Not a huge change? You got 30+% improvement from 333 to 447.
By the way, mhz and mh/s are two different things lol.
