Forgive my nubetude but what file do i change (and how) in order to put in the values for my ice(nano) fury? I'm only gett 1.8GH/s, and a pretty high error value as well, in bfgminer3.10.0.

Some help with control over my red fury would be cool too, it runs OK with the proper driver but on the low end of advertised speed. Remember to answer this question in a nube friendly manner if you're up for it. thank you.

What speed setting are you using? and what cooling are you using?

I don't know what speed setting i'm using (this is how noob we're going) my cooling is passive because it sits all by itself, sorta in the way of the air-con. It's the file which determines speed settings and what i should put in it which eludes me.

Right now this computer is running Erupters, U1's and U2's, and a Red Fury as well simply because i have my other machine with 100% Ants and this is sorta my tweakin' frankenstein computer. I could run the Ants and Erupters on another piece of software (bitminter) but the Nano Fury is probably gonna have to run alongside the red fury in bfg(which is also passively cooled as there is just one sitting wide out in the open.)

Everything else are antminers that act finicky so i got free replacements for them and this is just me trying not to waste a single H/s even if i can get them to underclock, the Erupters are there to fill in space on the hub. I hear Nano's prefer to play alone so i can go that route if i need to for trouble shooting.

Let's start by going over the stuff one piece at a time:
- what software are you using? (Win/Mac/RasPI/32/64bit/etc) and which miner (cgminer/bfgminer/etc)
- speed setting can usually be specified on the command line when you start the miner. Some of them also have options permitting you to see the current settings while everything is working. In some cases you can also change them while it's working.
- Mixing devices should be okay (even though you may still hit some USB or power or other limitations)

If for example you want to use bfgminer you could run it with the following parameters:

Code:

bfgminer.exe -o -u -p --set-device NFY:osc6_bits=50

in which example the speed is set for 50 bits (and a reminder to replace the stuff in <...> brackets)

You can experiment with various numbers until you find a combination that works for you. Usually those devices will max out at 53/54/55 bits and you'll start seeing a lot of errors. If the error rate goes over 5% that's a sign you've hit (or even exceeded) the limits.

Two things to keep in mind when overclocking:
- it will use more power - ideally budget 0.8A per bitfury chip
- it will be VERY HOT. Adding a fan will be a must. You can also add a small heatsink on top of the bitfury chip - that helps too.

Hopefully that helps! Have fun!
