Technobit HEX16a I have been tooling around with some other miners and the Technobit HEX16a piqued my interest. It's a 20 - 24GH ASIC miner based on 55nm Avalon ASIC chips. Rail voltage and clock speed can be easily controlled through command line to adjust clock speed anywhere from 15GH to 24GH at the touch of a button. Some power consumption and performance statistics below. ~24W - 15.86GH/s - 1.51W/GH ~56W - 20.30GH/s - 2.76W/GH ~74W - 21.28GH/s - 3.47W/GH ~92W - 22.85GH/s - 4.03W/GH ~108W - 24.15GH/s - 4.47W/GH HOT Power Connector They are stack-able and are powered by a standard ATX power supply hard drive molex connector. The entire top of the device is dedicated to cooling with a very large heat sink attached and a 92mm fan it seems to be a very well designed product. Simple and efficient. Setup wasn't too bad. I have a Xubuntu Linux machine dedicated to mining. A few commands to set up cgminer and it was up and...
Many of you probably have recently purchased an ASICMiner Blade V2 10.7GH and have been wondering what the easiest way to over clock it might be. I have spent a bit of time working on a solution that would be easy to do with basic soldering skills and tools. One drawback of earlier overclock kits was the need for a hot air station to remove the stock 12mhz oscillator. With this method it is no longer necessary to remove the stock oscillator with a hot air station. The new oscillator is simply placed on the un-populated pads and enabled for a higher hash rate. What you will need: A basic soldering Iron, some thin solder and braided desoldering wick. I have added Radio Shack links below for reference or examples, but these items can be sourced from anywhere you want. These can also be found on eBay if you don't want to leave the house.

I have read in several places that Bitcoin mining is a tremendous waste of energy. I can agree that it does consume a great deal of energy, which is both costly to the miner and the environment. My personal attempt to reduce the impact of the 800 or so watts of energy my mining rig required to operate was to attempt to reduce it's environmental footprint using solar power. 6 Overclocked ASICMining Blades Pulling Nearly 800W I had been storing about 300 Watts worth of amorphous solar collectors in my attic for about a year after we moved because of the tedious charge, discharge and inversion aspect of this low power solar setup as compared to larger, commercial installations. Until I found that inexpensive, low power grid tie inverters existed. Meet the low power solar inverter. A 300W Grid Tie Inverter So the plan is to directly connect the solar panels to the grid tie inverter and tie the circuit directly to the circuit that my Bitcoin miner is on. ...
