do you think the famous pencil mod used on redfury sticks would work?

Anyone got a good link for the pencil trick (never heard of it before) on the BE USBs? I have a few of them left that I would like to experiment on. Thanks!

Pencil trick doesn't work on the Block Erupter USBs; they have a forced oscillator speed so you need to swap the oscillator AND change out a feedback resistor. There's a thread where someone did do that on here somewhere and a guy was selling kits to get them up to almost double speed IIRC.

The pencil trick mentioned here was for the Blue/Red Fury USB miners based on the bitfury chip. Just search "blue fury pencil mod" and you should find it. The frequency of those is determined by the resistance at a key location which can be lessened by tracing a pencil around the resistor. Fun stuff!
