CCcam Overclocking

Card overclocking in CCCam is used to reduce the ECM time, this will make your card give the DCW (Direct Control Word) key faster and the channel will take less time to open.

Overclocking in CCCam should be done gradually, putting your card at a very high frequency can burn it, so when you stop noticing ECM times improves you should go back to the the first mhz speed that gave you the best results.

Some cards overclock great, others don't, I recommend you to start from a low speed, like 3mhz and then gradually increase it.

For example NDS, Cryptoworks and Irdeto cards run at high speeds, Firecrypt cards don't.

You can monitor your card in here:

If your card isn't detected it means that it can't work at that speed.

CCCam card overclocking is done by editing the CCcam.cfg

In my DM500 I use this settings for an Mtv conax card:

SMARTCARD CLOCK FREQUENCY: /dev/sci0 5600000

This means that the card is working at 5,6mhz, with this I reduced ECM time from more than 300ms to 270ms

In DM500 /dev/sci0 is the internal slot, in linux receivers with 2 cards slot, sci0 is the bottom slot and sci1 is the top slot.
You can also use an external card reader like SmarGo SmartReader to overclock your card. Phoenix readers are not recommended since you can only use them at 3mhz or 6mhz speeds.
