Question for all you Bitcoin miners running a Bitaxe Gamma 601.
Are you able to hit 2.0 th/s? What are your frequency/voltage settings? Anything notable you're doing to get it there (heatsinks, fans, ambient temperature controls, etc.)

I can't wait to get mine. I think I'll play around with all those aftermarket heat sinks/fans just for fun

That's the most fun. One of my friends asked me how much money I expect to make. I tell them the miner alone will put me in the hole alone, and the upgrades will push me further down. But it doesn't matter...there's almost a sport behind trying to maximize hash/stability and keeping it ice cool.

It is fun. Who knows what the future may bring? They are getting more and more efficient. I also think big mining companues pay $80 per TH. That solo satoshi sale was a gamma for $125. Not horrible.

Average of 1.5 TH/s with 700MHz and slightly higher voltage than the default. Stock heat sink and power supply.
I honestly rather have something stable that works for the long term.

That's pretty damn good for a stock heat sink! On my units, I've noticed a considerable temperature drop when I upgrade the heatsink. The fan upgrade is more of a noise thing, IMO. All that's to say is you could be even more impressed with performance if you did upgrade that heatsink, but I sense you don't want to. :)

Maybe in the future for fun. Does it make more noise?
Currently the stock one is keeping it at ~55° C at ~60% which is pretty nice.

Nope, a new heatsink will not make more noise. Not sure if you changed the fan, but that'll likely make your unit be whisper quiet.

Ah ok. I automatically assumed you meant changing heatsink+fan. Then sounds like a good idea for when I renew the thermal paste. Thanks!

woaaaah. Don't have one but that sounds CRAAAAY.
When I run my BMM101 any higher than 1.4Th/s (and it's advertised as 1Th) fan goes bonkers. #936913

Seems doable from what I see on YT, but it’s hard to tell if they hit the silicon lottery and what their settings on, haha.
I’m at about 1.4, but I haven’t really tried pushing yet.
