Good tip yes ^^^^


That would be nice to hear about that script indeed.

Fifo buffers are off, have mine runing for a while now and no crashes on Win8 laptop with 10 port Aurico usb hub

Guys...don't be fooled...

You are replacing R139...27k with higher value...47k to 51k... NOT R52...

R52 is in the Feedback Loop of the Voltage regulator...

Refer to the schematics...

More likely to be R64 on the diagram as it matches the 33K value measured on the board but there is obviously some difference between the circuit diagram we have access to and the actual unit as the resistor we are changing seems to be labelled R52. You are correct in saying that R52 on the diagram would not change DVDD as that is concerned with transient response of the circuit.
The pins SET0 to SET3 look as thought they give some software selectable voltages but the highest resistor value there is 36K so that is not of great use unfortunately.

Thought I mentioned that earlier, in here somewhere.....
Thought it was obvious on the schematic but obviously it is labled as R52 on the pcb, so it is correct to say 'replace R52, obviously...sorry if I forgot to mention that, way back when.... The actual 'current' pcb matching schematics don't exist as far as I know. Thought everyone else could see that too.
No one's being 'fooled' though, since the mod works labled as advertised. Wink

OK just got my resistors today, I undid the previous 2 solder mods and put on this one.  At 1000mhz i don't seem to be accepting any shares, also using 0 Watts measured with the Kilowatt.  Any ideas?

Double check the continuity with your DVM..
The inside solder point looks open...
Solder it to one or the other points next to each other. They are the same connection on the pcb as one was for a capacitor next to R52
Always double check.
It really sounds like your resistor is not in circuit.

I would also advise to turn your resistors towards the exterior, less chance to touch the heatsinks

If your green LED blinks but never the red double-check the soldering ... you're not gonna be submitting shares if that's the case.

I've done mine and had to re-do two and noticed the LED deal.  I was like 100% positive I didn't have a bad soldering job on one.  Nah, I did.  lol

I had original modded GS unit running at 1200 overnight, generated around 20 HW errors.  Not too terrible.

I just got done modding the rest ... naturally the last one gave me the most trouble because I was becoming comfortable and rushing things.

Got them all going at 1175 and gonna see how many if any HW errors I get in the morning.

I've got 5 units going.  Modding all 5 was like gaining 1.5 GS units.  Awesome.  =)

Has anyone tried just using a sharp nail clipper/scissor to remove the resistor? Simple, quick and sweet!

I've been running 2 modded GDS and 2 unmoddeded for 2 days 3 hours and 10 mins.

Here are my specs

Unmodded units

Grid 1)
     Freq: 900
     Accepted: 13550
     Rejected: 221
     HW: 0

Grid 2)
     Freq: 900
     Accepted: 13740
     Rejected: 606
     HW: 1

Modded Units

Grid 3)
     Freq: 1138
     Accepted: 13190
     Rejected: 270
     HW: 942

Grid 4)
     Freq: 1213
     Accepted: 12882
     Rejected: 152
     HW: 8

I mean, I am definetly getting more at 900Mhz than the OC units and this is a 2 day run!

Hmmm I've modded 3 of my units and they have been running over 12 hours continuously at 1200mhz with 0 hw on all 3. 510.7kh/s each .

Ive been running 10 modded pods at 1150, 0 HW errors in 24 hours.
Having to fiddle with pool and miner settings though, having trouble getting the share rate higher, although the hash rates are quite good.
Still trying to sort that out, no definitive answer yet as to why the pool-side share rates are poor. Im getting plenty of accepted shares reported on the miner side.
Any thoughts on that?

Yes, definitely tell people how to risk breaking their PCB and or bricking their pods....nice going Wink

Don't try this at home, kids:



I've tried to mine BTC with a volt-modded unit...  Cry

It seems to me that FB23 and FB24 are gone, does anybody has the specs? Maybe I can replace them.
