Re: X6500 Custom FPGA Miner

I am running an x6500 with bfgminer 3.10.0 with bitstream "fpgaminer_x6500-overclocker-0402.bit".

It default starts at 190Mhz per processor and jumps 2Mhz up every minute or so until it hangs at about 222Mhz per processor. Is there a way to lock the clock rate of the processors? When I [M]anage devices and set both processor clocks to 200Mhz, it continues to increases the clock by 2Mhz every minute.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Are other versions of BFG working for you? I am still running mine on 3.9 and the OC firmware. I don't think you can use the set speed firmware with bfg (I think) and cg didn't want to support if for some political BS as far as I could tell, this is a shame since when I used the fastest set rate firmware it ran with 0 errors. Overclocker runs slower on some chips and a good amount of errors (higher than 0). TML was the best way to run these but was linux only.

With cheap USB sticks doing 1.5-2.5Gh I am about to pull the plug on the x6500 and perhaps use it as a toy to mess around with (probably won't get around to it)...
