Still not in the right section, needs to be in Computer Hardware and not just Goods. Mods can take care of it Smiley

Seems like a bit too much for a stock clocked compac, was expecting a higher hashrate but I guess this works. You also don't really need a fan at stock especially if you're only running off of a Pi USB port, I guess that's just for aesthetics, right?

actually Raspberry Pi3 can supply full voltage from the power supply in this case 2.4 amps so there is no reason you can't overclock it to 300mhz... I'm just not going to encourage people to cook their shine new asic  Grin
Really? I wasn't aware you could send that much voltage through one USB port. Even 3.0 can only supply a maximum of one amp the last time I checked, and doing so on my desktop resulted in numerous hardware errors with fans running on my 2pac.

Ya I really didn't test the overclocking, I was more focused on the software. I just tried to overclock one and the best i could get was 118.75mhz for about 13.5 gh/s So not really worth trying to overclock, I'm going to remove the overclocking section from the manual and website. But the fan does keep it cooler, and cooler is better even at stock speeds in the long run so I wouldn't call it aesthetics only.
