6.3 General Overclocking Strategy

During auto‑tuning, which lasts from approximately 15 minutes to two hours (depending on conditions and parameters), the miner takes into account the settings defined in the Overclocking section.

For the miner, the priority overclocking parameters are, in order of importance:

• PSU Power Limit
• Target Voltage
• Target Frequency

Chip temperatures are also an important factor in auto‑tuning.

In other words, based on the available power and temperatures, the miner sets an appropriate voltage and, in turn, a frequency suitable for that voltage. It is possible that at the same voltage the miner may apply different frequencies.

However, if the available PSU power (PSU Power Limit) exceeds (or, conversely, does not cover) the requirements for the user‑defined voltage and frequency, the miner may significantly deviate from the specified voltage and frequency, either upward or downward. In cases of major mismatch, errors may occur during auto‑tuning (for example, “Slot0 Lost Balance”).

At the same time, during operation the miner may exceed the PSU Power Limit value itself, but typically by no more than ~50–100 W.
