Nice. I'm running 3 of them 24x7 but at lower frequency and voltage.  What controller are you using, RPi, PC, Linux machine, etc?

Another NOOB question:  Is it a bad idea to adjust voltage on R606 while it's mining or does it matter at all?  Is there a best practice procedure when adjusting the voltage setting on the R606?  For example, if I want to test out different voltage settings, should I shut down cgminer first, then set the voltage, then restart cgminer?  I just want to reduce any chance of damaging the hardware.

Thanks in advance.

Cool thanks. I'm doing mostly the same except using Windows, and the default voltage. I might try using linux on a non-Rpi machine to see if it changes anything (already tried Raspbian but couldn't hash as fast as my Win10 PC) . 

I know this is an old post, but wanted to ask sidehack about your setup for this.  Did you use just one PSU to power all 6 pods plus the USB hub?  What controller did you use? (Rpi, PC,  something else?).
Finally, it looks like you targeted 900Mhz on all devices, and I am guessing you maxed out the voltage settings too?  Did you have any extra fans or cooling ?  Anything special I should know about cabling?

Just asking because I'm still a noob, and I want to compare what I'm doing with what seems an optimal setup.

thanks in advance!

Regarding ASIC Boost, when I run cgminer, I always specify "lowboost" anyway (cause I use Windows), even when going through a pool, so are you positive that's the biggest factor?  I should probably test it with no-boost.

Thanks os2sam. 

Noob question:

If I solo mine my R606 to solo.ckpool.org, I generally get around 900Gh/s.

If I solo mine to my own bitcoind node (http://localhost:8332) I only get around 730 Gh/s.

Does anyone know why?  Is the code in cgminer that optimizes R606 only working when used with a pool or something?

cool thanks gt_addict.  I found this interesting post as well, where morlok8k talks about using the serial numbers as a means to configure different frequencies (I think): https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5053833.360

Zimbacard, just saw your post mentioning the same!

Noob question: If I have 3 x R606 miners, do I need to run 3 instances of cgminer? Or is there a way to run just one instance of cgminer and control all 3 miners?

Thanks !

I sent u a PM.

On behalf of all us shrimpy miners, you ROCK dude.

Whoops - I've been away for a while..
Am I too late?
Sorry!

Thanks. I hadn't tried registering yet, but that makes sense.

I have a total noob question: How do you see who found a block? (ie xtremaxs). Do you have to register with kano.is in order to see that info?  Is it in the logging of cgminer, or is it on a webpage ?

Thanks for the tip. I'm running with the gekko-lowboost switch now and I do believe it's running more efficiently, and it has not plateaued after an hour of running, whereas previously it would auto-retarget a lower frequency by this point.  I'll re-run several tests with this setting and see where it goes.

Thanks. I guess mine is pretty much within the expected range. I'll keep experimenting to see how far I can push it.

Total NOOB question here:

What are the factors that cause frequency to be adjusted down?

Setup: R606 running through Win10, powered by GekkoScience DPS1200 PSU.  My PC is quite powerful with an i7 3.4GHz quad-core CPU and 32 Gigs of RAM.
Settings: Voltage setting 5, and I set --gekko-r606-freq 643
Results: I'm getting about 840-850 Gh/s on average.

If I try to increase frequency to 750 or higher, it seems to auto-adjust down to something below 700 most of the time. I've tried various voltage combinations.

I'm trying to see if I can get it to 1 Th/s average like some others have. Would using a Linux controller make a difference? Is the USB interface on my PC the weak link?

I'm new to mining, and still trying to learn the basics of the electronics.

Thanks philipma1957!

I'm a noob here.  Can I be added to this drawing if it's not too late? I bought a R606 from 419mining. Does that count?  

I can send you proof if needed.
