Introduction

There are plenty of videos on how to overclock the Elphapex DG Home 1, but watching a 15-minute tutorial for a process that takes only 30 seconds seems unnecessary. In this guide, I’ll explain the process in under two minutes.

Using the Elphapex Tool

Download and Setup

• Download the tool from the official Elphapex website.
• Unzip the file and run the binary named ElphaPexTool.

Finding Your Miner

• When you launch the tool, it opens an interface that might look a bit rough.
• If you know your miner’s IP address, limit the scan range (for example, from 191.168.0.161 to 192.168.0.161) to save time.

Accessing Remote Control

• Click on your miner’s IP address and select RemoteCtrl.

• This opens a dialogue where you can choose various modes, such as LED Blinking, Work modes, Sleep, and PowerSave.

Overclocking

• For increased mining performance, select OverClock.
• Confirm your choice by clicking Yes. Your miner will then reboot.
• In my experience, power consumption increased from 590W to 670W. (Based on my power meter, my miner usually runs just under 700W.)

Hash Rate Impact

With the increased power consumption, the hash rate is expected to rise by approximately 10% to 15%.

Conclusions

I haven’t monitored the performance long enough to offer definitive results, but I plan to update this article as more data becomes available. As you can see below, on PowerPool the average hash-rate is significantly higher then with the default Elphapex DG Home 1 settings:

While the overclocking process is simple, it requires a Windows machine—a setup I had to emulate on Ubuntu 22.04 using KVM, which was far from ideal. I hope future updates allow these changes to be made through a web interface or REST API, perhaps even adjusting settings based on electricity prices.

Overall, I’m pleased with the overclocking option since it doesn’t void the warranty and, hopefully, won’t adversely affect the miner’s lifespan.
