Bitcoin Miner: gekkoscience vcore adjustment

In order to get the best performance out of your stickminer, you'll want to adjust voltage. The compac does not support software voltage adjustment, it is actually a hardware setting. Voltage is set by a small potentiometer (you'll see a screw which can be turned) right next to the USB jack. Turning the screw clockwise increases voltage; counter-clockwise decreases it. The official core voltage for the BM1384 chip is between 0.6 and 0.8 volts; the compac will let you set any core voltage from approximately 0.55 to 0.8 volts. Lower voltage will yield a lower power dissipation but will be unstable for higher frequencies. You may measure the core voltage any time the stick is plugged in by checking the test pads on the back with a multimeter- Gnd is ground and Vcore is the core voltage.

A good way to set the voltage is to continue lowering voltage until you start to see hardware errors. If you notice many hardware errors the first suggestion I would have is to try upping the voltage at a given clock.
