afaik the klondike is even more susceptible to this because all 16 chips are organized in one chain.

Are you sure about this? Im pretty sure BKKCoins wrote that he changed this. So that the board can run with one chip alone too. If chips break all other chips remain working. But i might misunderstood this.

Setting the Frequency is easily done through the cgminer Avalon frequency config parameter.
Voltage will be done through a config parameter as well.

Great!

Fan size: 92mm 55CFM, 32dBa, 3000rpm.

Can the fans not be ordered but the heatsink? In case i will buy a stronger fan for a datacentre, where the noise doesnt care?

One module is about 45mm high with heatsink, 92mm fan.
Much higher OC would be possible with the 10 Chip version because it can supply the whole 60 Amps to 10 chips.
At 450Mhz the 20 chip modules are already close to the power limit of the voltage regulators .
Probably already exceeding the 60 Amps design spec but with good cooling they should be able to push up to 80 Amps.
The upper voltage limit is 1.8 Volts  Shocked.

I thought the overclocking test was done with a fully assembled board and the production voltage regulator. So is it possible to run a bitburner XX at 450MHz and 1.3V?
