Since the  jalapeno is downclocked might it be possible to overclock it to get more performance?

Doesn't look like it, even if you add fan and heatsink, you've still got the problem of the power limits of the USB port, and it looks like it's going to be more complicated than just soldering on a 12v/9v power jack.

Wat
I just saw this myself! Interesting tid-bit:

Quote
Each of the eight black squares on the board is a chip capable of computing 7.5 GH/s.

The Bitforce SC Jalapeno will use a modified board with only one chip, whose operating capacity is further reduced to meet the limited power availability through the USB bus.

So the jalapeno will be the same size, but will only have one chip, and it's going to be downclocked at that. Also no need for a heatsink/fan with only 5W, but that fact has already been established.

Prediction/speculation: I'm assuming that that means the Little Single only has 4 chips, and the SC MR will have all 8 chips per board, but will run at higher clock speeds, but also be WC'd.

Wonder who will hack it first so it mines at 7.5 Gh   Cheesy

I know some people will still say it's still a scam but it's another step closer to the dream. Cheesy
