Re: Official FutureBit Moonlander 2 Driver and Support Thread
Hello Admin, thanks for this little beast, really it's good 
However I have 2 concerns, the first one is that I want to mine in kilo hash instead of MegaHash, I tried multiple clock rate values like 50, 10, and even 1, I noticed that if the configuration file is set to clock=1 the hash rate goes up to 2 Mhash. Is there a way to mine with a slow hash rate, please?
Second question, the unit is making noise while running, even the fan makes my desk vibrate, I can't stand that sound while on my desk and my wife complained about the weird sound and she said, what did you bring to this room to make that sound?
If you have a solution for my first question and if it is possible to lower the hash rate then is it possible to unplug the fan?
I'm trying to save energy and have peace of mind of the annoying sounds coming from the miner.
Please advice.
Thank you

In first post of this topic you can find this:

Please note that this version of the miner has a fixed list of frequencies available to use below.
List of available frequencies: 384, 450, 480, 540, 576, 600, 612, 625, 636, 648, 660, 672, 684, 700, 720, 744, 756, 768, 796, 832, 852, 876, 900, 924, 954

The first row is quite self explanatory and I guess when any lower number is used it actualy mines at 384 which gives around 2Mh.
As of fans I had very same issue.
You need to isolate whole setup from the desk ( put some soft pad under entire hub ).
My another solution was to use USB extension cable and let it hang over tale edge ( MLD just hanging in the air, not touching anything ) and my final solution was external fan.
I have seen some discussion about removing fans but Jstefanop said that even the lowest frequency could overheat units without sufficient airflow. So better not.
Maybe you can try to use some larger heatsink?
is anyone interested in selling their moonlander 2?
I'm selling within EU.
