Recommended Bitaxe Gamma 601 Overclock Settings
| Voltage | Expected Hashrate | Power | Cooling Recommendation | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 625 MHz (mild OC) | 0.75V | 720–760 GH/s | ~14W | Auto fan |
| 650 MHz (balanced) | 0.78V | 780–820 GH/s | ~16W | Manual 60%+ |
| 675–700 MHz (high OC) | 0.80–0.82V | 850–900 GH/s | 18–22W | Keep temp <75°C |
| 700+ MHz (extreme) | 0.83V+ | 1TH/s potential | 23W+ |
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
Step-by-Step Overclocking Procedure
How to overclock safely
Advanced Settings
Change Frequency from stock 600 → 625 MHz
Set Voltage to 0.75V
Fan: Auto
Click Save & Apply
Monitor for 3–5 minutes:
Temperature 60–72°C
Rejected shares <1%
Hashrate stable
If stable, continue tuning:
650 MHz / 0.78V
| Problem | Fix |
|---|---|
| Hashrate fluctuates heavily | Reduce frequency 25MHz |
| High rejects (>5%) | Reduce MHz or increase voltage by 0.01V |
| Temperature >75°C | Increase cooling or reduce settings |
| Frozen or rebooting |
Restore Default Settings
If necessary you can quickly revert:
Settings → Reset to Default
or power cycle the device.

Conclusion
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.
Q2: What are the best stable Bitaxe Gamma settings?
650–675 MHz
Q3: Why is my hashrate unstable after overclocking?
Too high frequency, too low voltage, poor cooling, or unstable pool connection.
Q4: Does overclocking increase power consumption?
Yes — higher performance increases watts and heat.
Q5: Can overclocking damage my miner?
Not if you stay within safe voltage and temperature limits.
