Hi everyone! This is my first post, and I'm pretty new here, so move this if it's in the wrong section. I'm going to make my first Raspberry PiMiner, and I have all the parts ordered already, so don't suggest a new parts list, please. These are the parts I'm using, I'll post my questions below:

  • Raspberry Pi Model B
  • D-Link 7 Port Powered USB Hub (5v, 3a - Only  6 ports will be usable)
  • Edimax Nano Wireless Adapter
  • Arctic Breeze USB Powered Fan
  • SanDisk 8GB SD Card
  • 2 Bitmain U1 Antminers

My questions are:
1) Should I use Raspbian with CFGMiner, BFGMiner, or MinePeon (I think I'm using MinePeon)?
2) Whichever of these are "best", how do I make them compatible with my ASICs? (Bitmain U1 Antminers x2)
3) How can I overclock those miners to 2 ghs? (Supposedly they go to 2.2, but I don't want to overclock to much)
4) Can my fan even cool a 2 ghs overclock?

I could use any tips, tricks, and the likewise, so post away!

Forget about it.
Waste of time and money.
You can't mine anything with 2x2Gh...
Don't bother.
