The Zetheron Dynavolt USB Dongle ($95) will be available for purchase on the Zetheron website in a few days with shipments starting in around 2 weeks. This performs generally the same function as the hard-to-get DC1613A, except that the Dynavolt works right out the box and allows 'live' or dynamic voltage adjustments while mining. Not only does this give the 30% hash boost on the VCU1525 (11 to 15GH/s on 0xToken, for example), but it also allows the mining software to drop the voltage to the minimum possible level where there are still minimal errors, reducing electricity consumption 15% or more.
The Dynavolt is specifically designed to mount on the VCU1525 and 'live' there permanently. It also includes an open-platform API library so other developers can access it as well, for live voltage adjustments and live current/power monitoring.

Works for BCU as well ? (as BCU is already vmoded)
Works for BCU1525 as well; the BCU arrives under-volted, but some algorithms like CN7 require over-volting the FPGA for maximum performance. Core heavy stuff generally runs best at 0.65-0.74V, while RAM heavy stuff runs best at 0.85 - 0.95V.
So what you are trying to say is that all hosted BCU cards are not going to achieve 14kh/s of CN7 ?
Or is mineority going to fiddle with it to reach max hash?
1. We are still trying to work on a solution for Mineority, they might be able to install Dynavolt devices, too early to tell.
2. The advertised hash rates of 14-22KH/s for CN7 do not include over-clocking by increasing voltage to 0.95V. The theoretical hash rates for over-clocked cards with elevated core voltage are significantly higher than the advertised values.
3. There is a great convenience to having someone host your cards, *but*, given the amount of tweaking needed, and the fact that different developers are using different OS and different interface (PCIe, USB), my personal opinion is that you would have more flexibility with the card in your hands, assuming you have somewhere to put the cards that won't drive you crazy in terms of noise, but that is my opinion. If you only had space in your bedroom, you would be way better off hosting the card somewhere else....
