Nice, i have one customer that was running BFG and switched to cgminer because somehow he couldn't attain more than 12 GHs with these sticks. Is this a known issue, or should i debug it further?
There have been a lot of people mentioning they can't figure out how to set the clock and whatever they type in, it goes to default instead. The new version where you just type in the actual MHz should be pretty foolproof and awful dang handy.
Yes, it's a known issue and I have brought it to luke-jr attention in the bfgminer thread. The command line frequency adjustment will be fixed in 5.4.0 as he noted and as a result of that discussion, but in 5.3.0 the compacs will only run at "stock" 225 setting. A work around it to use RPC's pgaset and set the frequency that way.
1) Start bfgminer and your sticks via command line like normal, but omit the frequency setting command.
2) Once running, open another command line and navigate to your bfgminer directory.
3) Input the following:
bfgminer-rpc "pgaset|0,clock,x0982"
4) In the above command, the "0" refers to the position of the miner in the list in bfg. If it is at the top of the list it is 0, second down is 1, third down is 2, etc.
5) Replace hex code at the end with hex code from first post in this thread for the freq you want, omitting the leading 0.
6) Hash away.
Feel free to copy/paste any of this into the first post of this thread until 5.4.0 is released.
