- A super ECO mode which further undervolts and underclocks the Apollos for folks with high electricity costs and in readiness for the Litecoin halving in August to squeeze the efficiency. Although I hope the price doubles to compensate.

You can always experiment with this on your own. Just go to custom settings and start lowering frequency/voltage.

You can't "break" anything when undervolting/underclocking. The ASIC chips will just produce a lot of HW errors if you undervolt too far. Things only get dangerous when you start over-volting.

FYI Eco mode defaults are ~740mV voltage and 600MHZ clocks. So there is still plenty of headroom to go even more efficient. I think the best i have gotten is ~ .9 W/MH at around 80-90MH


could you  add

to this

Eco default =  740 mv  600 mhz
Balanced default = ?
Turbo default = ?


I went in and set

735.3 mv and freq 598

my errors are 0.4%

my hash is 98

I just got an Apollo a few weeks ago and have been running in eco.  I did start tuning from eco and got it down to 727 mv and up to 611 with 1% HW errors, which I am pretty happy with!  But I have the same question.  I want to see if I can push it higher, even with a few more mv, so knowing the stock settings for balanced and Turbo would be a big help.

Thanks for making these!  They rock and I'll grab another one once they are back in stock!
