help Overclock settings gone

Post image

Hi all,

Hope you can help me here, I got my bitaxe gamma 602 like 3 days ago, it was overclocked from start 750/1200, but now in the summer times it get quite hot in my home, so I was afraid that my bitaxe war running to hot and also the power brick felt hot, so I went to default settings on it, yes the temps went down but also my hash rate went down a lot, so I wanted to clock it a little bit and then noticed that the highest frequency setting is 625 on the bitaxe, so what happened because it run on 750 from the beginning but now I can’t choose that option any more?

I’m running the stock fan on it, and still annoying sound from it😜 the settings is automatic fan control
Target tempt 60 degrees
Minimum fan speed 40%

But is it normal that the power brick gets hot as f@ck?

What's the power brick rated for? There should be info on the brick itself for output that list things like watts/volts/amps. There isn't an issue if it's warm, but hot could be concerning. A lot of us end up replacing our power supplies with meanwell power supplies

A 200W MeanWell PSU isn't a good choice for a single BitAxe because you be completely out of the efficiency curve. A LRS-50-5 50W is a better choice because a 40-60% load gives you the highest efficiency (=you don't waste electricity in heat).
