I just started mining with my new moonlander 2 yesterday. I currently have it directly plugged into a USB SS port. I have had to dial the frequency back to 384, since anything above that causes large amounts of HW errors. I also checked the temp and it is running around 100f. I am assuming that this is a power issue and not a defective unit but figured I would run it by the community to see if you all have experienced this before. Thanks in advance.
Yes your USB port is not providing enough power, you can also try moving the bottom pot slightly (~10 degrees) clockwise to increase the voltage and see if that has a change.
Thanks for the quick reply. Just to verify while adjusting temps should not exceed 80C correct?
Ok I now have the mem at .9 and the processor at .79 and still 450 just produces mostly errors
Whats the error %? Did you try another computer/USB port?
I tried multiple computers, and even got a power hub. After much testing I think it might be a heat issue. I don't know why I didn't notice before but the glued in heatsink is crooked and exposing the ic a bit. Also noticed when the temp hits about 112f it goes down hill real quick lol. I figure if the heatsink is at 112 that corner of the chip has to be hitting critical. Optimal for me right now is .72v on the chip and 450 for the speed. That puts me at about 2.5MH/s has rate starts higher and slows down as it gets warmer.
Well after much tuning and trial and error I humbly admit I was incorrect on all previous assumptions. It would seem that certain voltages cater to certain frequencies. .75 on cores .o on ram and 756 is running at 4.25MH/s with HW at .98 word to any other noobs, read all the words on the first page especially the tuning section.
