Title: Overclocking Bitman Antminer T17 with non-custom firmware
Post by: seabass1217 on November 04, 2021, 01:38:11 AM
Hi all,

I'm fairly new to mining and recently purchased a used Antminer T17.  The miner is working fine @720MHz.  So, I would like to overclock it with non-custom firmware.  My current version:

Kernel Version:  Linux 4.6.0-xilinx-gff8137b-dirty #25 SMP PREEMPT Fri Nov 23 15:30:52 CST 2018
File System Version:  Thu Apr 23 16:29:07 CST 2020

Does not allow user-selected frequencies.  I would like to run the miner at 800 to 900Mhz.

Can someone help with accessing user-selected frequencies with the current firmware or advise how to obtain native Bitman firmware that allows user-selected frequencies.

Thanks in advance,

Have you bothered to read *anything* here regarding the S17's?  ::)
They have a horrible failure rate and yet you now want to push them even harder?
Terrible idea...

That said, if you check the Mining Software area (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=42.0) - where this question should have been posted to begin with - you will find what you are looking for.

Thanks for your feed back.

Yes.  I'm aware of the risk of overclocking the S17 and the T17, and I will review the 'Mining Software area'.
