I swear to Jeebus, I saw someone either commenting on, or noting ideas on, how to overoverclock a Cube. Well, then again, I could have dreamed it....
Does anyone know a thread or source for such a thing? I've searched up and down, but needless to say, nearly every Cube thread mentions overclocking almost as often as it mentions the Cube.
Any thoughts? And thank you!
You weren't wrong. A user here who's had great success with overclocking kits for blades was working on something similar to overclock the cubes, but last I heard he was only getting another 1.5-2GH/s out of each cube (up to just under 40 GH/s) due to heat issues in the cramped cubes. His method for the blades was pretty elegant - just change out some feedback resistors so that the BE100 chips get more voltage, swap out the oscillator for a higher rate, and improve cooling. I imagine it's something similar for the cubes. FWIW, I got two of my v2 blades crunching happily at 14 GH/s with his kits, and they're still going strong.
Anyway, drop sidehack a note/PM here and I'm sure he'll update his progress for you.
Best and Happy New Year!
