R606 Frustrations FIXED!

I bought two R606 and 4 Newpacs to start mining. I had many troubles stabilizing my R606 so wanted to share my experience.

First I download the 5/26/2019 version of CGMINER here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5053833.0.

Needless to say I have had some frustrating stability issues for the last 2 weeks trying to fine tune these. I next tried to use the April30 version which caused rejections.

Lastly I download the 5/13/2019 version of CGMINER for GEKKOSCIENCE and tried again. BINGO!!!!!!!! finally stable mining. Get the windows version here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5053833.0 or at https://www.419mining.com and make sure your using the 5/13/2019 Version for R606. I am also using Power Setting 5 (top and bottom red lights lit, Middle light out).

So I have been mining using this bat file command line with high stability. I personally am using antpool and the FPPS earnings type:

Code:

cgminer.exe -o stratum+tcp://ss.yourpool.com:3333 -u userbtcname.worker1 -p yourpassword --gekko-r606-freq 550

Summary: for my R606s they like the 5/13/2019 version of CGMINER only and my R606 like Power Setting 5

P.S I just ramped up to freq of 700 and it's absolutely stable.

Code:

cgminer.exe -o stratum+tcp://ss.yourpool.com:3333 -u userbtcname.worker1 -p yourpassword --gekko-r606-freq 700

Hope this helps someone get their R606 running right. I have been frustrated and this seems like the bext fix. No rejections or weird command errors.

I had another experience, mine R606 are running best with 26-05-2019 version, other versions are unstable.
