Thanks!

This is exactly why Bitcoin won't ever make it mainstream.

Guess I got my first newbie mistake out of the way ordering 4 .  Live and learn I guess.

Hey guys,

I did not get too far into the forums before I started seeing faucets and free bitcoin posts everywhere.
So, of course, I checked most of them out, but am wondering if there is another route to go without any money to invest?

Enjoy,

I have to say that under clocking the core is completely unintuitive… but it sure did work. Thank you Gamer.

I used MSI Afterburner to adjust the clock in real-time while sgminer was running. I just dropped it in the smallest increments it would allow me, and watched the result. I took it all the way down to 967 before it evened off and started to drop the khs.

I also upped the tc by 1, to 30719. Don't ask me why, but it helped. Going more than that dropped the khs. I'm now at 845khs.

I tried upping the mem clock up too, but I could not budge it at all from 1250 before the khs started dropping. That doesn't seem right to me. Most folks are over clocking the mem from what I can tell. Could I be doing something wrong there?
