This thread is getting confusing. Would someone mind putting together a small tutorial on what which resistor they replaced and the best clk with the least hardware errors there seems to be a mix of replacing one or the other or a mix of both? Then there's discussion about the crystal!?
Can I replace the resistor with the larger resistors or does it have to be a surface mounted resistor? what clock speeds are best with the blizzard with no mods and least hardware errors? Can I run a stock blizzard at clk 342 with no mods? Is BFG miner better or cgminer? I'm seeing mixed reviews on which produces less hw errors?
Thanks! Looking to order some more of these i like the style reminds me of a mini looking g blade.
We're replacing one resistor. It is in the R10 location on the board schematics. The photo in this post shows the resistor.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=644921.msg7379971#msg7379971I ran 340 clk unmodified. You might be ok with 342. I had more errors.
I run 381 clock now with extra cooling and 1.4 volt mod using approx 7.67k resistor value. I didn't have many resistors at home to choose from so I had to parallel a 47.5k axial resistor with the stock 9.1k resistor to get approx 7.67k. I used what I had. One of mine shows 3.2% HW errors after 22 hours. The other, after 8 hours, doesn't show a % yet. It'll be less than 5%.
We're limited to 381 clock because of software. We can't go any higher.
BFGMiner works great for me. Averaging 3,100 kH/s on the pool with two Fury's.
