wolfey,
how much do you think I can overclock the gridseed by doing just the pencil mod and bridge mod? the last remaining mod is a bit out of my leage,
and you are a continent away so I cannot send them over to you that would be really not cost effective haha^^
The resistor mod is necessary to clock over 950MHz stably. Especially to even get 1000mhz to be stable and pretty much hw error free.
But, if you can do the solder bridge, you should be able to do the resistor replacement just as easily.
Best performance is with all 4 mods. That's just the way it is if you don't want to have to put up with red nuisances 'nonce's'

Wolfey2014, can you let me know where to find these "mods" which are being talked about?
I would like if it's something I can handle or not. Limited electronics experience here.
Used a soldering iron once or twice...
Is anyone selling GSDs which have the mods already applied?
Sure!

I've been thinking about offering new pods with the mods
If there is a market for this, I just might do it!
I certainly can do these mods without bricking them....
I'll have to test run each pod before and after modding, before releasing them to the customer.
I'll probably have to charge around $50 a pop, including shipping perhaps, to cover all costs.
Might be able to do it for less though. We'd have to see how it pans out.
This would include the whisper quiet 5V fan modification too. These would be Scrypt only mods!
If you wanted to mine SHA, you'd probably have to covert the fan back to 12V operation.
But, that gives me another idea......
I suppose I could have the customer drop ship their order to me here, do the mods then ship them to the customer.
One could certainly recover the cost per unit in a matter of a couple weeks I would think.
