Hello everyone, i have been reading this thread from page 1 - 25 until my head exploded, it's definetly awesome to read all of your progress but the stuff you do is way over my limit, i know basic electronics and i just got my G-Blade a few days ago.
At stock 600 MHz it mines at a puny 3.2 MH/s (WTF??)
When overcloking to 838 MHz one blade works at a fairly low amount of H/W errors but the second one gets quite a lot of them, so i underclocked it a little to 800 MHz to make it happy, but anyway back to topic, i wanted to get the most i possible could out of my blade by replacing that lame power jack with a screw terminal (or just fuckin' soldering wires directly to the blade) and i also want to add heatsinks to all of the overheating part, my question is, that if i do all of that, will that make my miner a little more stable with less hardware errors? and also, i might just do the simple version of J4bberwock's voltage mod (just the 39k resistor) but the problem is that i definetly have the right equiptment or the money for the right equipment to do SMD soldering, so do you think a thru-hole 39k resistor will work?
Also, at some point i overread that @J4bberwock connects his miners to the 6 pin PCIe connectors on a high quality ATX PSU, and after a simple google search it seems like EVERYONE does that, is there a specific reason why?
Sorry for bombarding with questions, i'm really anxious to know what i can do!!

Morning ,

my name is Olaf Becker and I am the owner of LSE.Solar. So first of all if you do have a thin soldering iron you can do this work all by yourself.
2nd of all if you want all the parts please reach out to us. We do sell those in set's I will post those parts you need onto our Shop and you can buy those from us without missing a single peace :-)
Also if you do have a Dremel we can show you with a think drillbit how to replace this cheap jack with srew down Terminal like I shown above in pictures. Importance there is you drill exact otherwise you can shorten the circuits.
