Title: AntMiner USB Overclocking?
Post by: smalloy08 on February 26, 2014, 12:26:38 PM
I just started out mining and have 4 of them on 1 usb strip with a good fan directly overtop.  Can/should I overclock and to what amount?

I was also wondering what I would put when starting the miner to change the overclocking?

This is what I currently put:
cgminer  -o stratum+tcp://xxxxxxx.com:3355 -u xxxxxxx.xxxxxx -p xxxxxxxx


Much thanks :) Sorry for the ground-level question.

Add this...

Code:
-S antminer:all --set-device antminer:clock=x0981

I use BFGMiner but I think it works with CGMiner too.


It will get you around 2GHs each.  I've been running 9 with a little Arctic Breeze USB fan blowing on them.  They're rock solid stable at that speed.

None of those commands mean anything in cgminer
For cgminer (assuming you're running the official one and not a fork), add: --anu-freq 250

Should give you 2GH

Thanks guys :) I'm running a fork for Antminer but I have it overclocking now without any problems.

where would this go in the bat file  (cgminer.exe  -o stratum+tcp://pool.webcoin.us:3388 -u AngusCanine.AngusCanine -p 123)
