Just edit the cgminer.conf file and set whatever freq you want.

What directory is this file in?  After editing the file, do I restart the miner?

My batch 1 Z9's made it really easy to change the freq from the drop down under advanced config, these batch 2 miners, at least the ones I got, only shows "balanced" under advanced config, so they are hashing at 50% less than my batch 1 Z9's.

That whole "balanced" option thing appears to be a different firmware that only some of the batch 2 miners came with.  The cgminer.conf change I am referring to is something I have done on the old firmware so I don't know if it will work on the new one or not.  Somewhere around here though I saw a link someone posted about getting around that limit on that new firmware version, you may want to look for that if the cgminer.conf thing doesn't work on that version of the firmware.  The cgminer.conf file is in the config folder on the old firmware version.

You do have to restart cgminer after the change for it to take effect.  You can do
Code:
/etc/init.d/cgminer.sh restart
or you can just go to the miner configuration tab in the GUI and hit "save&apply" without changing anything and that will do it too.

Hi buddy, where do we you make them changes?... how do you open the firmware?
Thanks
