overclock antminer u2
overclocking antminer u2
i have antminer u2 i want 2 oc(overclock) it
so i bought the smd(surface mount resistors) of value 4.99k ohms and 10k ohms
i soldered them as per the overclocking guide of antminer u1
replaced resistor r1 which is 1k ohm with 4.99k ohm resistor
and resistor r2 is 10k ohm resistor
resistors size 0603 and tolerance +/- 0.1% from rscomponents website
soldered with little difficulty but got it well
when i tried running cgminer it says the frequency and keeps repeating
next time it returned 5 hardware errors and 3 shares accepted
what i observed is
its i better to oc the miner using software by providing --bmsc options
it shows less hardware errors with provided usb fan
try cooling with water it yields better results
advice donot change resistors instead go for better cooling
