Anyone have done this?

I just got one to play with and feel they just run way hotter than is safe for them.

I have searched everywhere for underclocking instructions, but nothing helpful .
Even thir manual states about underclocking, but the commands they give does not work in the easyminer software.

I have the 700GH/s Unit.

Thanks hive mind.  Wink

I haven't messed with anything from BFL in a while... from what I remember easyminer was basically just a fancy GUI for BFGminer.

Edit:

There is a guide under their driver section that has some info, have no idea how recent it is and I don't want to link it.

Lightfoot is quite knowledgeable with these and will be able to help you.

Underclocked, these things get 0.5kwh per GH.  Still very easily profitable.

Nah, got a good price on one so I got it to play with. At stock speeds(720GH/s per pool stats) it runs way too hot IMO though.

UPDATE **

With the help of 'Lightfoot' I got it working with Putty.

Then I found a very easy way to manage the settings through a batch file :

I found a way to automate the commands via command line directly.
No need to do it every time through putty using the buffer 'trick'.
Much easier this way.
Make a batch (.BAT) file and paste this in there for example :
I'm running at 510GH/s @ 370Watts (far from the 0.54 they claimed, but much, MUCH cooler now).

Put this in the batch file :
set /p x="F0D" <nul >\\.\COM3
set /p x="V4X" <nul >\\.\COM3


That's it.
You can pass any commands you want via this batch file now, but putting it into the x="xxxxx" field.

Hope this helps anyone else looking to lower their Monarch's temps.

Go Big or Go Home.

I'd swear I saw a post somewhere that pushed the rate down to 400GH and ran even cooler, and with better efficiency. The Monarch really appears to have been more like a 450-500GH miner, which came pre-overclocked to try and save face for BFL. The whole PCI form factor, which then forced liquid cooling, were major failures along the way (IMHO).

With the proper settings / codes, I can get it down to 40GH/s .  Cheesy

I prefer 500GH/s though as it still earns some BTC and runs cool.
