Hi Guys,

I have started reading this thread earlier today and haven't stopped for 5 hrs+ , mind you , this is whilst @ work, Driving (oops) , At home , At partners house and here we are now, I must say thanks so much for the main Top dogs in here

Andareed

Nemercy

Wolfey

And of course I may have missed others but DAMM the thread is quite a mixture of things and got a bit confusing, I stopped about 7 pages ago after we got the latest Mod trick (or maybe theres another now lol ?? Anyway I must say this thread started of great and then testosterone started taking over slightly (don't worry it happens to us guys, its nature) anyway many did keep there cool and I commend you as this is where the actual strength is TOLERANCE is the key word here Tongue

but saying all that it did get back on track abit and produced some decent results..

Great work Nemercy for the find, Atleast I think it was you that figured this one out? And thanks to whoever assisted.

I noticed quite a few people would really want a Step by Step guide for the latest and greatest mod, and I am really surprised that a group of you guys that have been on here from the beginning or at least a while back have not chipped in some crypto and put up a bounty for the person who can do this, A HOW-TO-MOD for Dummies version and data tables to show frequency settings and results and LATEST Cgminer versions etc...

I am willing to put forward $10 USD in the Bounty Jar to start it off so even if we get 5-7 of us thats $70USD for someone (Preferably one of the top dogs above) to create a document/PDF or even a thread.

Reason I am saying this is man-O-man there is a lot of mixture in here and you really need to look carefully at each post to find out what needs to be done and what the latest mod or the most stable ... If someone started reading this like I did , I was going to do the MOD on the first page.. Luckily I kept reading and found that this is obsolete now.

Also I cant help but put my 2-cents here, I have been mining Scrypt since last year I have plenty of 290x Cards and have literally been at it hours UPON hours, tweaking , tuning , Bios flashing - I have had many Display crashes, Computer crashes, even burnt out 1 MB and 1 PSU So i have tested each of my cards to there physical limits and tried NUMEROUS pools, Middlecoin, Coinsolver, wafflepool,Clevermining,multipool.us, random Litecoin pools - And let me just say that the pool side KH is never taken literally... Only what ever is shown on Cgminer itself. On one of my Rigs with 6.5MHz I have seen My hasrates JUMP 1000KH + & - Seriously But NEVER seen this happen in Cgminer NEVER... so as far as I am concerned cgminer is what I look at when tweaking.

But when I saw nemercys CGminer screenshot MY GAWD I am impressed. So is anyone willing to do a guide for some cash I mean seriously guys who wants this guide? are you willing to chuck in, even if 5 of us chuck in $10 thats $50 for 1 hours work most probably it will take less time. Now $50 dollars an hour in my books is well above the average wage

Of Course feel free to do it either way if we get donates or not lets just say you did it for the community and hashing power Wink

But hey I will throw my donate at you no matter what.. Thing is I am not a soldering pro and every extra bit of instruction will help me through this nerve racking journey and I want to be sure I am doing the right thing. And I wish I lived near one of you guys but I am from Sydney- OZ I little far I think

PS - If I missed a link that shows the instructions in good detail please show me, Maybe I missed it during my busy day as I said I was reading this while doing many things.

Thank you gtraah! And, thanks again, all fellow contributors!
Glad you were able to figure out the current mod after all that reading Wink

Most likely, the optimum mod has been figured out and implemented.
Trial and error is over where that particular R&D action goes.

The latest and greatest mod IS replace R52 with a 49.9K 1% tolerance resistor be it SMD or axial.
The choice is yours, although I recommend using the axial 1/4W as it's easiest to handle and solder in, especially for green horns. 50K will work too. IF you go much higher than that, you're pod will start sucking too much juice and waste too much power! BEWARE of the power suckers! They love to steal away your profits and brick your pod! I have personally found that anything over this value is a waste of hashing power. It doesn't pay off at the pool! That is where it counts in the end!

BUT I would not recommend any green horns try this mod themselves. It takes knowledge, experience and a very steady hand to do it correctly. And as you can imagine, this mod isn't for the faint of heart!
It takes a bit of confront to carry out the mod seeing one is risking bricking their pod and losing a fair amount of money!

If you want to have your pod modded professionally, I am sure you can find a good experienced and meticulous tech to do it for you.

I can do mods for anyone located in the USA. PM me for details or email me at wolfey2014@allpower.ws

Thanks again for your nice comments!
Best of luck, mate!
