Single mode is 6W 12V .5A max 10W 12V .84A dual mode is 60w 12V 5A max 100W 12V 8.4A so I would say the 7AMP recommendation is SPOT ON for providing max needed power for dual mode!

So if you are running in Scrypt mode we can safely say 1Amp/1,000ma provided will be a standard number and plenty of power for scrypt mode.

Once cablez finalizes a standardized design he will be able to send out a lot of orders pretty quick.

Thanks for following up on this! Looks like I have a power supply in the junk bin that will at least get one of these running while Cablez hammers out a solution or I wire up some molex connectors myself. Would be nice if there was a working dual mode for Winblows (my rigs all run windows, I know...), but probably safer to not bother if I'm gonna wire these up myself. Looks like I just found a use for all these molex>pci connectors that come with GPUs. Now to find the soldering iron.... :-)

What is the sefest maximum OC to push this board to when just mining Scrypt? I have the miner hooked directly to my win64 pc since I can not get my hands on a powered usb hub at 10PM at night and just mining scrypt i have it at 850, is it safe to push it much higher??

I've seen users report using 900mhz, but most say 850 performs best. Seems everyone changes these in 50mhz increments, can they be changed in 25, 10mhz intervals or is 50mhz changes all they can accept?
I have tried increments of 10 it just defaults back to 600, I will give 900 a try for overnight

I scripted 600-900 in 1,5,10,25,50,100 increments.  My units do 600 or 50m increments.

I have found that 750 - 850 is the best spot for clocks.

What is the issue running in dual mode in windows?  I can pull my unit out and test it all/ write up single unit dual mining if needed.  It'll be win7 64 bit.
