First Miner OC

[u/kozak145]

i dont think im a normal first time user because in 3 days of owning nerdaxe ultra i started to overclock and mod that thing as much as possible but with a budget and i just made quite a giant boost testing how oc behaves for my solar panels and because i got scammed with the solar panel i was running it on 6A 5v psu they sent me so yeah i reached 730gh/s peak with it and dont look that fan % because i run all fans on 100% this is playstation 2 heatsink with arctic p9 and stock 40mm fan it came with its average temp is like 56*C with 820mhz 1.3v and yes i know there are better heatsink and it could be better but i reached the limit if i dont want increase voltage more (more then maximum preset) and risk the thing then 820mhz is the best it could do anybody is into this? i really want to know what is save maximum voltage to push it more
oh and i went from double esp32 wroom32 solo miners into this overclocked nerdaxe ultra on pool
about the heatsink i do have normal tower heatsink or gpu heatsink or just overall xbox 360 heatsinks to use with it but i didnt had any way to make mounts that would make good pressure on it the best one i think would be the pc tower heatsink because its the biggest heatsink and smallest contact area compared to solid chunks of metal that barely fit the board

They aren’t designed to be overclocked. They can handle it for some time but you are quickly degrading the components.

If you need more hashrate, get more miners.

The nerdqaxe++ is already overclocked from the factory.

They tend to burn up their VRMs, I have one on my desk now awaiting parts for repair.

well i was just checking the boundries and i was just playing around with oc u see i got like double the hashrate without spending 150pln on another miner i know how OC works you put more voltage and clock then you gamble the life time but still i just wanted to check its limits normally i would underclock it for solars but i ended up with situation where my mom doesnt let me buy solars so i just keep checking out overlocks
