currently have the pots pointing towards 5 o'clock running at 250htz. i get about 24hrs until they need restarting with ~9 hardwre faults.

still tweeking. my aim is to have them running @ 300 stable. we'll see. but its good fun getting it all work. the long term plan it to have 5 of these running on a ras-pi in a little cooled box that i'm designing so it can sit on my desk at work :-)

Are you still running one at a time? Are you able to run one alone at 200 MHz at 3 o´clock? I think that 3 Amps isn´t enough for 250 MHz to run stable.
What happens after 24 hours? Do they go zombie?

In my experience putting them into a box isn´t the best solution. I tried this, even with an open case and two fans. They get hotter than with my current setup, open just inside the hub with the arctic breeze fans.

Hello der_wasi, when you say in some of your comments you turn the pot clockwise to say the 3 oclock or 5 oclock position, which way is the stick facing with the usb towards you or the heatsink towards you? And what are your amps reading when you get to 200 or higher? I am running my sticks at 150 at 1.19amps clock about 2 oclock position, these pot are sensitive when you move them, but would like to try it at 175 or 190ish to see what i can get out of these.

Thanks for clarifying.
