I am not 100% sure I understand what you are referring to - If you want changes to stay you have to hit apply otherwise it is not stored, if you want to have original one you need to re-write manually since last update will remain there after it is applied.

okay cool. Gonna try that tomorrow.
Let us all know what you do and how it works as far as changes to the powerplan and how the miner reacts. I am unsure if I just have to adjust the RPMs or anything else. I am running the most current 2.1.6 version on all of my KD5 miners too
On a side note, I just had 5 used KD5 units come into stock if anyone is interested. They will not last long. 1 month of warranty left on each of them. $56,500 each. If people want I can update the firmware before having them delivered or I can have them shipped directly from the warehouse. Shipping is usually about 7 to 10 business days.
Well I just changed my miners to this setting
900 MHz 1V 150RPM 150 RPM
For some reason when I updated my miners to 2.1.6 they starting hashing around 17.80 and then they dropped from 15 kda to 13 kda. Then I downgraded one of them to 2.1.5
And ever since I changed the settings both the miners hashing speed has increased to 18.60avg
Here’s the link when it was hashing at 17.80 when it was on 4 days
When I changed the settings
The 2.1.5 one reject rate is pretty high dont know if the returns are have been changed for better or worse will keep you updated

Thank you very much for sharing. So I want to make sure I follow what you’re saying. You’re saying that your units were upgraded to 2.1.6. When you they were on that version and you changed the setting to 900MHz that they started getting less and less rewards. But then you changed the firmware back to 2.1.5 and with the same 900MHz setting you started getting more consistent higher rewards.
Where did you go to get the 2.1.5 version, github?
I want to do immersion cooling and overclock my units. I have updated all of them to be 2.1.6 thinking that would help them do better. Since upgrading my rewards have steadily gone down by 1 to 2 KDA less per day! I really want to overclock them in an immersion setup.
Anything else you can share is welcome.
Hey Cameron,
thanks for your useful sharing!
I will try in my KD5 too.
How is going yours 6 days after overclocking?
About the same actually the hashrste increases but the reject rate when up to 2 - 3 % same with HW.
So the rewards didn’t change at all really still getting 13 kda at the moment nothing changed.
But harshrate is at 18.80 avg it was up to 19.02 avg sometimes.
But the rewards don’t increase thats why I want to solo mining but my laptop can’t install docker and I’m not good figuring out how to use terminal on ubuntu so I’m getting a professional to do it for me instead.
Starting up a node bring a +10/15% and even more in payouts!
I am going to configure one personal solo mining pool, I can share access to all KDA miners so we help decentralization and increase the revenue
How did you go how long do you think it will take to set up ?
Did you ever get that node setup?
Anyone ever successfully overclock their KD5?
Okay, new question. So I wonder if someone buys the new KD-Box Pro, if that would show what the better overclock settings are to get that 1 extra terahash. Anyone out there have a new KD-Box Pro??? Come on, lets rally and figure out how to overclock these KD-Boxes! Id sure like that extra terrahash!
Well I was wondering if anyone had any luck with this?
I’m running a node with a kd5 and two kd-boxes—the clear is about the same as poolflare, but I have a node to maintain, now
Why overclock by almost 10% (840 to 900) and overvolt by over 100% (from .43 to 1)? It seems to me, you’d want to try overclocking and overvolting by 10% on both. And maybe overRPMing fans by same to 110 (i believe 100 means 100%; that’s why it ends up around 5500 rpm at 100). Maybe then, you’ll get less errors and rejects and see a 9% reward boost along with a 10% hashrate boost. I would have to imagine that Goldshell tried many settings to optimize reward per watt, but they did it in air and with liquid cooling and fan spoofing, you could see a very large improvement.
Any updates? Has anyone figured out how to adjust Goldshell’s powerplan settings to overclock the KD5 and presumably the other larger ASIC rigs. I just wanted to revive this thread in case someone has some fresh insight but forgot to post. Thanks all!
Nope. Tried lots of things. Nothing seriously helped, and burned out a control board. Stupid fans.
Thanks Winston. Hopefully somebody else has figured it out, or whether it’s even possible without customized firmware.
Hey all, Goldshell has released new firmware for the newer miners and the overclock does work now with the 10 clicks on the miner settings screen method. I’ve tried it on a KD-Lite so far and it works. Firmware version 2.2.8
