Summary

The Bitaxe Gamma 601 is an open-source ASIC miner that allows full control over core frequency and voltage tuning. Unlike traditional miners, the Bitaxe series supports flexible overclocking to increase hashrate and improve efficiency. With proper Bitaxe 601 overclock settings, users can boost performance from the stock ~600 GH/s up to 800–900 GH/s or more.

This step-by-step guide explains how to configure Bitaxe Gamma 601 overclock settings, monitor temperature and stability, optimize fan speed, and safely tune performance whether you’re a beginner or advanced miner.

Target audience

  • Bitaxe Gamma 601 beginners

  • Miners looking to increase hashrate and optimize power consumption

  • Enthusiasts who want to mine BTC, participate in solo mining, or enjoy tinkering with parameters

Accessing the Bitaxe Web Interface

Via PC browser

  1. Ensure Bitaxe is connected to your Wi-Fi network

  2. Find the miner’s IP address (via router or network scan apps like Fing)

  3. Open the dashboard:
    http://bitaxe.local
    or
    http://your-device-ip

From Mobile

Open your browser and enter the same address.

In the top menu select:    Settings → Advanced → Frequency Settings

You will see the tuning parameters:

  • Frequency (MHz)

  • Voltage / Vcore

  • Fan Speed

  • Save & Apply

  • Live monitoring: Hashrate, temperature, fan, rejected shares

    Important safety notes

  • Higher frequency increases heat, power draw and share errors

  • Monitor temperature, rejected %, fan speed and stability for at least 10 minutes per step

  • If unstable, lower MHz or voltage

Step-by-Step Overclocking Procedure

How to overclock safely

  1. Open Advanced Settings

  2. Change Frequency from stock 600 → 625 MHz

  3. Set Voltage to 0.75V

  4. Fan: Auto

  5. Click Save & Apply

  6. Monitor for 3–5 minutes:

    • Temperature 60–72°C

    • Rejected shares <1%

    • Hashrate stable

     If stable, continue tuning:

  • 650 MHz / 0.78V

  • Wait 5–10 min to evaluate stability

If you experience issues

ProblemFix
Hashrate fluctuates heavilyReduce frequency 25MHz
High rejects (>5%)Reduce MHz or increase voltage by 0.01V
Temperature >75°CIncrease cooling or reduce settings
Frozen or rebootingReturn to last stable values

Restore Default Settings

If necessary you can quickly revert:
Settings → Reset to Default
or power cycle the device.

Conclusion

Overclocking the Bitaxe Gamma 601 can significantly boost hashrate performance while maintaining efficiency if done properly. Start slow, monitor stability, and tune step-by-step. Every chip behaves slightly differently, so your goal is to find the sweet spot between power, temperature, and performance.

Before you start overclocking your Bitaxe Gamma 601, it’s important to make sure your device is fully set up and running correctly. If you haven’t completed the initial configuration yet—Wi-Fi connection, mining pool setup, IP access, and basic dashboard navigation—make sure to check out my full Bitaxe Gamma 601 setup guide first.

FAQ

Q1: Is overclocking the Bitaxe Gamma 601 safe?

Yes, as long as voltage ≤0.82V and temps <75°C. Extreme settings require extra cooling.

Most users get optimal performance at 650–675 MHz with low rejected rates.

Too high frequency, too low voltage, poor cooling, or unstable pool connection.

Yes — higher performance increases watts and heat.

Not if you stay within safe voltage and temperature limits.
