What do I need to overclock an ASICMiner USB?

[KaChingCoinDev]

Hello!

I recently picked up two ASICMiner USB for $5 a piece. I know I won't ROI, I picked them up for trying work on overclocking. I read up on it, and saw I need a 1.5k ohm resistor, and a 16MHz oscillator. My local radio shack has only a 1k or 2k resistor. Will that work? If not, I need to buy both individually online. Is there anyone here willing to sell them together for cheap?

Thanks!

someone here on forums was selling a kit if my memory serves me right... or maybe it was for AM's blade not the stick? idea is the same I think...
maybe someone will remember a relevant link and let you know.

If someone has a kit to sell, let me know!

I will overclock my Antminer U1's/U2's, but I would rather wreck a $5 part than a $15 part.

Thanks for responding Canary!

In my An Homage to The Block Erupter USB post, there's a small section about people overclocking it.  Here are the relevant links:
Block Erupter USB - Overclocking/ hacking ? [bitcointalk.org]
How to overclock your Block Erupter And possibly destroy it in the process. [wtfmoogle.com]

And a relevant quote regarding 'overclocking kits':

This overclocking itself led to further entrepreneurial endeavours, as sly sellers at sites like e-bay would start selling tiny heatsinks to be applied to the chips on the Block Erupter (even if those chips, aside from the actual hashing BE100 chip, generated negligible heat to begin with).

Hello!

This is exactly what I was looking for:

I saw this link already:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=241652.0

But I did not find it helpful.

I was not looking at the heatsink kit, I was looking for the Oscillator and the Resistor together.

I am looking at this oscillator: http://www.digikey.com/scripts/DkSearch/dksus.dll?Detail&itemSeq=151383279&uq=635376447443249753
And this resistor:  http://www.digikey.com/scripts/DkSearch/dksus.dll?Detail&itemSeq=151384209&uq=635376452579125769


They will work, right?

Your links 404 - digikey does that a lot.  Drop the part numbers, if you'd like for people to check

That said.. resistors are resistors and oscillators are oscillators, for the most part, as long as you get the right values.

Whoops 


Oscillator:

MPN: 636L3C016M00000
DigiKey Part Number:    CTX691CT-ND

Resistor:
MPN: ERA-6AEB152V
DigiKey Part Number: P1.5KDACT-ND

Thanks!

still need to know if it is the right one
