Title: [Overclock the Antminer S1 to 200GH/s] The EASY way! - updated to 393.75MHz ASIC
Post by: palawan on January 25, 2014, 06:13:12 PM


No good.  wget on the S1 does not support https and dropbox had stopped supporting http downloads.  Sorry everyone.  No more easy way to OC.  Good luck.

Here's an easy way to oc the Antminer S1.  Disclaimers: I'm not responsible for any damages that may result from following these instructions.  This will void the Antiminer S1 3-month warranty.   :D

If you want to see a youtube video on how it works; here it is:  How to Overclock the Antminer S1 bitcoin miner [the EASY way] (http://youtu.be/3ue-9LtZSmc)


  • 1.  ssh to your Antminer  (i.e. ssh root@192.168.1.111)
  • 2.  copy and paste everything inside the code box
Code:
clear
cd /etc/config
mv asic-freq asic-freq.BitmaintechFactoryVersion
wget -O asic-freq http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/u8thhaxuksnhlw0/asic-freq.400MHz
wget -O asic-freq.375MHz http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/9yuq14py6sou2w3/asic-freq.375MHz
wget -O asic-freq.350MHz http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/o8590pne9clm348/asic-freq.350MHz
chmod 664 asic-freq
chmod 664 asic-freq.3*
ls -la asic-freq*

  • 3. reboot the Ant

Let me know if you have any questions or wish to switch between ASIC speeds (i.e. 180GH/s is 350MHz, ~190GH/s is 375MHz).

  -jeremy

Nice tool to help folks.  BTW, I've been using the values from the S1 guide to get to 400MHz:

Code:
        option 'freq_value'     '0780'  #400M
        option 'chip_freq'      '400'
        option 'timeout'        '36'

Anyone know which of the 400MHz approaches is "best?"

Thanks. I'm going to have to revise the OP, lol.  You have the early revision of the S1 and my settings won't work for you.  Thank you for alerting me.


Early, really?  I just got it a few days ago through sushi's pre-new year 1.9 BTC blowout.

Edit to add:  I tried your 400MHz settings anyway (since that matches what was in my default asic-freq as suggested), and it seems to work.  Maybe even +1 GH/s.

*****  We may be having a miscommunication.  I'm thinking you have the latest version but followed an overclock guide that uses the values from the earlier version of the Ant S1, no?  *****

Sorry but below is the original overclock guide from goxed.  As you can see he mentioned your S1 version.  On another note, check your kernel log (under system tab) and see if you have the latest Firmware.  That's most important.  It should say 12-26-2013  on the top right hand corner.

The dropbox idea is a good un  ;) I like the approach you have used, I have been scp'ing files between ant's instead.

A couple of comments if I may. You might want to change the mv to a cp in case of a problems such as a power outage because then an asic-freq will always exist regardless and the wget with an -O should clobber the original. The last three lines can also be removed as the wget will put the file with workable permissions. Personally I would just add a reboot command to the script but that may freak a few noob users.

Thank you!  We're getting a lot of new people in the mining scene because of the Antminer S1's and I figured anything to help them out.  I'm a huge fan of Bitmaintech, as I bought from the sushi GB5 and now directly from Bitmaintech and both machines are very stable!  No pretty cases, but well-built and performs as advertised (plus more with OC)

I used mv as I don't like to mess with factory system files (if I can help it).  It also keeps the date and time of the original files.  The permissions I saw were rw/rw/r  on the original asic-freq file so wanted to change the ones made by cp/wget from rw/r/r  to be the same.  It's probably ok.

Can't wait what Bitmaintech will announce after the Chinese New Year!  Maybe cheaper Ant's?  or More powerfule machines?!  The last difficulty adjustment was not crazy (imo) so maybe it's leveling off....

PS:  I forgot to add, if by some coincidence you get a power-out right after the mv command was issued, just ssh to the miner again and execute the copy and paste and it should be ok.  Re-running the process duplicate times should not hurt anything...

You're very welcome!  Thank you for the nice words.  If you have any questions, just let me know.  I do hope you're not in Southern Cali (or any warm-weather location) as I've had to turn the first Ant S1 inside-out (heatsinks on the outside).  It looks like I may have to do the same on the 2nd Ant...

Overclocking makes the Ant's warm.  I don't want the any blade to hit 52C, so I sometimes go back to stock.  Yesterday had to turn the AC on as I didn't want to drop the speed, lol!  I think it's worth it.

Yep, I followed the old guide even with the new version - it worked fine, but I'm now using the correct values that you have (and were in the default asic-freq file as a guide).  My firmware is Dec 12, 2013 actually since I went back one version to avoid the excessive beep/rebooting I was seeing (I have my Ants temporarily far away and sometimes they have difficulty with solid connections.  After this week, I'll have them in a much better place and will be able to bump the firmware back to the most recent.

Good luck.

Just fyi...  I have to reboot my Ant's about every 24 hours as I see xx's on the ASIC's.  I'm sure it's just cosmetic (because the hash performance is fine) but I'm still babying these as they cost more than my old beat-up car, lol.  I can connect to my Ant's from anywhere so reboot is very easy using the web interface.

You do not need to reboot on seeing an 'x', it is a display bug, just watch the share rate on the pool of your choice.

Temps are 44/41, hashing at 200GHs.
For my ant these are the optimal setting

Hey Jeremy,

Can you please do a 387.5 version?

I can do it very easily; but I don't even know if it works or it's safe.  I've used 350, 375 and 400 on my Ants.

A few questions:
1.  Have you run the code on the OP?
2.  When did you receive your Antminer S1?
3.  I see a 387MHz version from zuqka, not 387.5MHz, is that what you want?

I don't know the settings myself for 387MHz.  The ones I'm using were in the original asic-freq file (and checked on the Bitmaintech Antminer FAQ. pdf file) or in the case of the 375MHz, I relied solely on the Bitmaintech pdf file and added it.

i did not use your script, but used mv for backup also

Ants are running now fine at 400Mhz, drawing together 800W

so that's still 2W/GH and get not even higher temps!

I followed this and my antminer shut off immediately when I restarted cgminer.  It then would shut down whenever I powered it up.  I thought maybe the PSU wasn't powerful enough even though it's a 750w and I thought after OCing they pull 550?  So I tried unplugging blade 2 and blade one booted up and mined perfectly.  It was hashing at slightly over 100 Ghash.  I then just loaded in the factory settings and plugged blade 2 back in.  Working as it was.  So...for anyone who runs into the same issue that's how you fix it lol.

My question is, does anyone know why the 750w PSU wasn't enough?  Do you have any recommendations on what PSU to use to OC it to 400?

Two things:

1) Not all xxxW PSUs are equal, not by a long shot.  I had one situation where a 750W could power two cubes, but another 850W could only power one.

2) You might just have a blade that can't quite make the 400MHz - there's no guarantees that they can OC.  That said, if it's the blade, then I'd check your heatsink and TIM or paste on that one.  What temps do you normally see?

It had been running for 24 hours at a constant 40-41 degrees.  This is prior to overclocking.

When I ran just blade one it ran for about 2 minutes at 100 GHash and 400MHz so maybe it's blade 2 that's the issue?

This is the PSU I have...

I use corsair cx 650 And corsair cx 750m for my 2 Ants OCed 400mhz.  You need single rail 12v with 42A to be safe for OC. Sounds like power supply problem, but dunno for sure. 100ghs per blade sounds right.  Multiple rails on the 12v not good.

It had been running for 24 hours at a constant 40-41 degrees.  This is prior to overclocking.

When I ran just blade one it ran for about 2 minutes at 100 GHash and 400MHz so maybe it's blade 2 that's the issue?

This is the PSU I have...

http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-SuperNOVA-NEX750G-Certified-120-PG-0750-GR/dp/B009YC3EAI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1390947897&sr=8-1&keywords=evga+gold+750w

Aha, that's a 4-rail-12V power supply, none of which has greater than 20A on it.  So, my guess is, yes, it's a power supply problem.  I'd take it back and exchange for a single-rail 12V power supply that has at least 45A on the single +12V rail.  That should do it!

Nice guide! I may try this out when I get home. I do have a question, though. Do you know if it is possible to go with a higher OC speed than the 400mhz (using proper cooling, of course) I was thinking about a liquid cooling setup of some kind.

Thanks!

I followed this and my antminer shut off immediately when I restarted cgminer.  It then would shut down whenever I powered it up.  I thought maybe the PSU wasn't powerful enough even though it's a 750w and I thought after OCing they pull 550?  So I tried unplugging blade 2 and blade one booted up and mined perfectly.  It was hashing at slightly over 100 Ghash.  I then just loaded in the factory settings and plugged blade 2 back in.  Working as it was.  So...for anyone who runs into the same issue that's how you fix it lol.

My question is, does anyone know why the 750w PSU wasn't enough?  Do you have any recommendations on what PSU to use to OC it to 400?

1. assume a 100-200W "overhead" for 3.3V and 5V on sub 1kW non Gamer PSUs
2. cheap supplies almost never deliver whats on the box
3. look for single rail and check the product specs for max 12v load on these
multi-rail psu often give high numbers per rail but they wont apply combined
4. if avaiable check the datasheet for "load on 12v" versus "combined load"
5. all pcie + molex are on the same rail in some ones - use the 6pin/8pin eps plug for the second blade

...

7. or just get a server power supply - they are 10x cheaper and more efficient anyway ;D

I must say I'm divided on the psu issue now that I've had a chance to test a little...

Bought my first miner with the red & black 12V connectors on the boards and ran it off an Antec Neo Eco 520C 80+ bronze which has a single 12V rail delivering 480W at 40A and got mad hardware errors at 400mhz so clocked it down thinking it was the power supply.
I then bought an Antec 750W High Current Pro 80+ Gold which has 4 12V rails delivering 744W at 40A per rail and the hardware errors were only slightly reduced but it was still not worth running at 400mhz.

So, I bought a second miner now with the yellow and black 12V connectors and connected it to the 520C and clocked it to 400mhz and it's rock solid with <1% errors:
https://i.imgur.com/CFfR0Ru.jpg

In the end; same 520W PSU, 2 different generation miners and completely different results, one with >6% errors and one with 0.6% errors at 400mhz... go figure!

I also notice on the newer miner the fan runs faster as it seems to want to keep the boards around 40o whereas the older miner will keep them around 45o... I guess there must have been an update to the PWM management software?

Thanks for the compliment!  Personally; I wouldn't try going over the 400MHz/200GH/s speed.  There's comments in the goxed original overclocking thread mainly to do with the voltage regulator on the board (S1 blades).  I'm very happy with the performance of the Antminer S1, myself.  I have 2 of them now  :D   I might add 1 more, if the price goes to 1 btc (currently 1.45 btc on the Bitmaintech website), but that's my limit as I'm about to pop the circuit on the 120V/15A outlet I have them plugged into.

*****  This doesn't work with earlier versions of the Antminer S1.  Check your asic-freq first if you have the older version Antminer S1.  Ask here or pm me on how to check.  *****

Here's an easy way to oc the Antminer S1.  Disclaimers: I'm not responsible for any damages that may result from following these instructions.  This will void the Antminer S1 3-month warranty.   :D

If you want to see a youtube video on how it works; here it is:  How to Overclock the Antminer S1 bitcoin miner [the EASY way] (http://youtu.be/3ue-9LtZSmc)


  • 1.  ssh to your Antminer  (i.e. ssh root@192.168.1.111)
  • 2.  copy and paste everything inside the code box
Code:
clear
cd /etc/config
mv asic-freq asic-freq.BitmaintechFactoryVersion
wget -O asic-freq http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/u8thhaxuksnhlw0/asic-freq.400MHz
wget -O asic-freq.375MHz http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/9yuq14py6sou2w3/asic-freq.375MHz
wget -O asic-freq.350MHz http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/o8590pne9clm348/asic-freq.350MHz
chmod 664 asic-freq
chmod 664 asic-freq.3*
ls -la asic-freq*

  • 3. reboot the Ant

Let me know if you have any questions or wish to switch between ASIC speeds (i.e. 180GH/s is 350MHz, ~190GH/s is 375MHz).

Sorry to be a noob but to revert the changes would the following command work or is there more to it?

Code:
cd /etc/config
mv asic-freq asic-freq.400
mv asic-freq.BitmaintechFactoryVersion asic-freq

This is great BTW, works perfectly!
Now I've got my head around manually editing the config file I'd like to try different values and whenever I attempt to enter the asic-freq file, it appears empty so I'd like to go back to stock (for now)  ;)

Thanks!

Yes, that is the method to go back!  If I may make a suggestion, I would do this:

ssh to the miner
Code:
cd /etc/config
mv asic-freq asic-freq.400
mv asic-freq.350MHz asic-freq

Personally, I don't like to mess with the original files from the factory and I just like to work with copies.  The only reason I can think of that you're getting an empty file when you're trying to enter the asic-freq file is that you're not in the /etc/config folder.

ssh to the miner
Code:
cd /etc/config
ls -la asic-freq*
less asic-freq.BitmaintechFactoryVersion
less asic-freq.350MHz     <--  if you haven't renamed it.  if you have, use asic-freq
vi asic-freq   <---  only enter when ready for vi  :D

less command is just to display (not edit) the file.  You can move up and down using the arrow keys.  Q to exit.  vi can be difficult to move around so don't enter it unless you know the shortcuts or you can get stuck in it.  I like nano more as a text editor but it's not on the Ant miner, unless you install it.  There's shortcut keys/guides on the internet.

Good luck!

Hey jeremy, thanks for this, super easy, much appreciated. OC' 4 ant's in minutes.

Has anyone else recieved a BAD ant, and by that I mean, the HW numbers seem incredibly high to me

https://i.imgur.com/4z4AAfl.jpg?1
The second one was running at 400 Mhz, so I took it back down to 375.
Even after i De-clocked to 375 mhz - I am still seeing crazy numbers
Accepts @ 7,357 - HW @ 14,038  WTF?
Is there something I am missing here?
any way to manage this?
and how does it affect the return?
Thanks

You should not just look at the absolute value of your HW.
This number by itself means nothing.
Btw, "Accepted" is not what you should be looking at either  ;)
What's important, is HW compared to your total number of shares.
You total is = HW+DIffA+DiffR+DiffS
This is the sum of your HW error + Accepted + Rejected +Stale shares
It's been mentioned many times here, the formula is HW/(HW+DIffA+DiffR+DiffS)
In your case it is ~ 3.7%
Not alarming, but a but too much for my liking, I'm keeping mine at no more than 1%
So you should probably lower the clock even more.

You're welcome!  Your numbers seem ok to me.  I'm just eyeballing it.  Here's the formula that I got from the forum threads and as long as you're under 2% you're fine.

The formula is HW / (HW + DiffA + Diffr + DiffS) = %

Edit:  I was looking at the top value, but I see your highlighted one is on the high side at 3.68%     Maybe improve the cooling?

As long as you don't have the very early Antminer S1 blade; this is the value  from the Antminer PDF that is posted by Bitmaintech.

        option 'freq_value'     '4e81'  #375M
        option 'chip_freq'      '375'
        option 'timeout'        '38'


I've used this a few times when the weather gets too warm here in Los Angeles.  It produces about 190+GH/s

Edit:  I see wedgy2k has already posted the same values.  I can vouch for it as I've used it quite a number of times.

you would be surprised. 36A*12V is only 432W - enough for 375MHz maybe, but if you want to overclock any further your PSU will start acting up.

also, many power supplies cannot run more than 80% of thier max capacity 24/7. I would advise at least 420W for a stock antminer and 500W if you want to overclock.

Depends how easily you have access to a new PSU.  For me it's difficult (would take at least a day; it would be a big mission) to replace the PSU if it fails.
I had to fly to Bangkok last time to get a half-way solid PSU.

Push your PSU too hard and it may crap out on you.  Of course it may not.  Some PSUs will take a lickin' and keep on tickin'.

A good PSU is a pretty good investment.  When any PSU fails it costs me time, energy, hashing time and headache.

Some people assume that a good PSU cost so much that it's really affecting the bottom line.  How much are we trying to save here?  For me, $75 and $100.  Peace of mind that I'm not gonna burn down our place due to some crappy PSU components?  priceless.  Not to mention the fact that 1 Antminer cost as much as my car (at the time of my purchase, or course not so much now).  It's worth it for me to protect that investment.

Have some respect for other people's decisions.  They may have other things (and other people) on their minds, not like if you're just living at your parents' home and don't care about the implications of your setup.

AMPS are the important part of the equation. watts is something that combines all the rails into a total.

no way - look back through this thread and it is clear - while these can draw as little as 360W, most power supplies with under 400W for stock speeds or 450W for overclocking will simply cause errors such as reboots, chips marked with 'x', or inconsistent hashspeeds.

The amps  12v 30a is the doozall range, simple for people to understand with out using kilowatt meters math and much confusion.

Watts is simply wrong for this equation. watts gives you a baseline to buy a P/S but is VERY Misleading.

AMPS per Rail is what you are after.

most power supplies with under 400W for stock speeds or 450W for overclocking will simply cause errors such as reboots, chips marked with 'x', or inconsistent hashspeeds.

Then don't buy bad power supplies for expensive equipment. If I can run 2 overclocked ants on a Corsair AX760 (not exactly optimal for efficiency but I had to RMA the original one) then a good 400W single rail psu that can provide 32A+ 12V can run 1 as well.

The Antminer overclocking to 200Gh/s so easily makes we wonder why I can't find any efforts to get it beyond that. It should be easy to improve the stock cooling, isn't it possible to squeeze out more hashpower?

I have a youtube video on my signature and I added 2 fans each directly on top of the heatsinks after they have been remounted to face outwards which helped very much with the cooling as weather here is too warm for mining.

Still, I wouldn't attempt to overclock more than 400MHz per chip (~200GH/s) as I saw posts in other threads that the limitations  are on the voltage regulators which if needed replacement would need resoldering a new one or risk 8 chips out of commission or more.

There's also increased HW which result in lower performance...

The capacity of the DC-DC converters or the set value?

There are voltage regulartor on each S1 blade (4 of them?) near the top, someone posted a picture of it on the threads.  They detailed the rated limits, then calculated the requirements per ASIC based on chip frequency.  Also, in another thread, some people calculated the effects of going to different chip-frequencies and some did go beyond 400MHz and got lower performance.  Based on that, I think the sweet spot (for me) is 400MHz.  Some said even lower, but I've stayed at 400MHz chip frequencies for more than 40 days on 1 of my Ant's and quite happy with the performance and stability (lack of problems).

Hello
Palawan, could you write the file for the frequency 393.75?

At the Goxxed thread, ppl r saying that this is the sweet spot between speed and error rate.
As per trying to edit files for myself, sorry but I lack the necessary IT skills.

Any help is appreciated  ;)

I have another unit running at stock that gets thousands of hardware errors and runs about 2 degrees hotter than the others. Any ideas? Its green LED is also very weak compared to the bright green LED on my other units.

Definitly some units handle the overclock better than others. Diference in the green LED? Prolly just component variance.
I own 6 and they dont all display the exact same green tone. Some brighter, some darker.

Other threads claim that if the error rate is below 2%, your fine. Have you done your math?

quick calc (not the official formula but good enough)  HW/DiffA= less than .02   you're good.

I can make that file and script for 393.5MHz, but I just need to look at the value.  I'm not comfortable recommending it, as I haven't tested it myself, but maybe if it's good, I'll switch to it, also.  Thing is 400MHz is getting me over 200GH/s  (202GH/s+ on 1 Ant and  204GH/s+ on the other Ant)

I'm making a script for another forum member for  --load-balance so I'm uploading 2 files to dropbox so I'll just make it 3 files  :D

Ok, NorTiaN; here's the instructions to switch to 393.75MHz  ASIC's speed.  I'm assuming you're on  400MHz right now, but even if you're not, this should still work.  Values are courtesy of jedimstr   https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=348327.msg5494459#msg5494459

ssh to the Antminer as root and copy and paste everything in the box below:

Code:
clear
cd /etc/config
mv asic-freq asic-freq.400MHz
wget -O asic-freq http://goo.gl/ASmTAE
chmod 664 asic-freq
head -n 25 asic-freq


Reboot the Antminer S1

Good luck.

In order to overclock your Bitmain AntMiner S1 ASIC to provide 200 GH/s and low HW Errors rate with our settings you need to follow the steps below:

Code:
- Login with SSH to your AntMiner S1 ASIC using the IP and username/password you’ve set it to use.
- Type “cd /etc/config” (without the quotes) in order to get to the folder where the config file is located on the miner.
- Type “vi asic-freq” (without the quotes) to edit the config file, comment the currently set options by placing # in front of them and add the following lines or directly replace the values with the following ones:

option ‘freq_value’ ’5f05′
option ‘chip_freq’ ’393.75′
option ‘timeout’ ’36′

- Save the changes you have made and type “reboot” (without the quotes) to restart the miner, so that it can apply the new settings and start mining at 200 GH/s with the overclock settings you’ve set.

The Antminer Asics will be running at 393.75 Mhz

Make sure you check your temperatures after 30 minutes and ensure they are under 50 degrees c

I am running 8 x ant miners on individual Corsair CX500M power supplies at this rate for over 2 days now

Good luck.

The short answer is no.  There's a few posts on the bottom of page 3 that explain why.  Plus, not all S1's are equal from factory.  Look 3 posts above yours and you'll see some can't handle even 400MHz.  Depends on the quality of the boards and chips from factory...

I've over-clocked my S1s.  They run a little faster. 

Do I expose myself to any risk of damage to the hardware, in doing this?  Once established they all run at 400MHz, and assuming I keep them cool, do I have nothing more to be concerned about as far as risk?

there is no reason to underclock the S1 unless you are paying something like $0.50/kwh at this moment.

overclocking it to 198GH/410W is more cost-effective for the bulk of owners right now, and will probably stay that way until june when bringing it down to stock speeds for a bit better efficiency makes sense

You do not regard power limits for many of us here. Im on the limit with 24 ants overclocked making 4.9 th/s.

If I underclock, according to my calculations, I can add a dozen more ants , maintain my power consumption  and exceed my currect hash speed.

At the request of another user; I've uploaded customized asic-files 300MHz and 325MHz and sent it to a user here.  I can post the links here if there's interest.  I don't know the effect on power usage as I don't underclock.

Does anyone have the config parameters to run these at 375 MHz? Apparently not every unit will overclock well at 400 MHz.

As long as you don't have the very early Antminer S1 blade; this is the value  from the Antminer PDF that is posted by Bitmaintech.

        option 'freq_value'     '4e81'  #375M
        option 'chip_freq'      '375'
        option 'timeout'        '38'


I've used this a few times when the weather gets too warm here in Los Angeles.  It produces about 190+GH/s

Edit:  I see wedgy2k has already posted the same values.  I can vouch for it as I've used it quite a number of times.

Hello!

I'm trying to clock my Ant to 375, but I'm not exactly sure how to do it. I've used your settings for 400, and 393 with no issues except way to high HW, but I'm not exactly sure what to do with the values you have posted here. I don't just copy/paste correct? I've tried that and do not get any change.

Does anyone have the config parameters to run these at 375 MHz? Apparently not every unit will overclock well at 400 MHz.

As long as you don't have the very early Antminer S1 blade; this is the value  from the Antminer PDF that is posted by Bitmaintech.

        option 'freq_value'     '4e81'  #375M
        option 'chip_freq'      '375'
        option 'timeout'        '38'


I've used this a few times when the weather gets too warm here in Los Angeles.  It produces about 190+GH/s

Edit:  I see wedgy2k has already posted the same values.  I can vouch for it as I've used it quite a number of times.

Hello!

I'm trying to clock my Ant to 375, but I'm not exactly sure how to do it. I've used your settings for 400, and 393 with no issues except way to high HW, but I'm not exactly sure what to do with the values you have posted here. I don't just copy/paste correct? I've tried that and do not get any change.

Thanks!!

Hi LouReed,  sorry very busy at work and I just saw your post just now.  Did you use the code/script from the OP?  You wish to change to 375MHz?  I can post the code here to copy and paste to your Ant if you used my script from the OP originally....

Hey palawan!

Yes, I am using your script from the op. That would be awesome if you could make a copy/paste text again for 375 whenever you get a spare minute!

Are the BTC/LTC addies in your Youtube video still good for donations?

Thanks!!

Because you use the script in the OP, the files are already in the Antminer.  See below:

ssh to the Antminer as root and copy and paste the lines inside the box below:

Code:
clear
cd /etc/config
mv asic-freq asic-freq.400MHz
mv asic-freq.375MHz asic-freq
reboot

I'm using 393.75MHz (still gives me around 200GH/s) but with much less errors.  Unfortunately, not all the Antminer S1's are "the same" from factory.  I know you mentioned that you tried the 393.75MHz?  That would have needed for modification of the asic-freq file?

Good luck and let me know if you have problems.  At the end of the script, it will automatically reboot the Ant so it's normal.  Yea, the youtube addresses are still good, but please don't feel obligated  :)    Thank you very much.

Thanks! Sorry it took so long to reply, just been crazy busy the last week! Shot you a little Bit tip the other day for putting the time in to make these easy to follow instructions! 375 has been working awesome for me! Getting 191.6 avg on all my miners and we'll under 1% errors on them too!

Thank you very much!  I wasn't sure if it was you so I didn't want to mention it and put pressure.  Thanks again.  I put a new thread on load-balance if it's something that interests you.  It allows you to divide you Antminer S1 hash to multiple pools.

Updated to 393.75MHz as this produces 200GH/s with a much lower HW errors (I'm getting less than 1%)

Here's an easy way to oc the Antminer S1.  Disclaimers: I'm not responsible for any damages that may result from following these instructions.  This will void the Antminer S1 3-month warranty.   :D

If you want to see a youtube video on how it works; here it is:  How to Overclock the Antminer S1 bitcoin miner [the EASY way] (http://youtu.be/3ue-9LtZSmc)

  • 1.  ssh to your Antminer  (i.e. ssh root@192.168.1.111)
  • 2.  copy and paste everything inside the code box

Code:
clear
cd /etc/config
mv asic-freq asic-freq.before-393MHz
wget -O asic-freq http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/bwbk1wdy0yx1l46/asic-freq.393.75MHz
chmod 664 asic-freq*
read -rsp $'Press enter to continue (Antminer will reboot)... ASICs speed set to 393MHz \n'
reboot


If you must have the 400MHz speed; replace with the code below:
Code:
clear
cd /etc/config
mv asic-freq asic-freq.BitmaintechFactoryVersion
wget -O asic-freq http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/u8thhaxuksnhlw0/asic-freq.400MHz
wget -O asic-freq.375MHz http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/9yuq14py6sou2w3/asic-freq.375MHz
wget -O asic-freq.350MHz http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/o8590pne9clm348/asic-freq.350MHz
chmod 664 asic-freq
chmod 664 asic-freq.3*
ls -la asic-freq*
read -rsp $'Press enter to continue (Antminer will reboot)... ASICs speed set to 400MHz \n'
reboot


Let me know if you have any questions or wish to switch between ASIC speeds (i.e. 180GH/s is 350MHz, ~190GH/s is 375MHz).

  -jeremy

Very nice setting

I have two ASIC machine

If I get your speed, I will be rich

You're welcome.  Thanks for letting us know the result.  I have 2 S1's and one is getting 200.22 GH/s and the other is 201.10 GH/s.

It's the HW errors that are significantly down.  I used to get over 1 percent; but now on one of them I have  808 HW value   out of   791,364 DiffA value.  That's awesome.

Hi!

This worked perfect :) However Now I have 50% HW, so is there a way to easily roll back to 180GH/s or perhaps 190 to see if that's better?

Hi, it's easy to roll back to 180 GH/s or if you wish to go to 190  (375MH/z ASIC's).  Let me know which one so I can give you the code to copy and paste.

Also, did you use the 393.75 MHz code?

Hi!

Easy,Download "Putty" then "Putty" into the Antminer IP address, login with root / root, cd /etc/config, vim asic-freq, hit Insert, then change the 393.75M values to 375M instead like the below.

Code:
package 'cgminer'

config 'asic-freq' 'default'
    #option 'freq_value'  '4f81' #400M    
    #option 'chip_freq'   '400'    
    #option 'timeout'    '35'    

    option 'freq_value'  '4e81' #375M
    option 'chip_freq'   '375'
    option 'timeout'    '37'
                      
    #option 'freq_value'   '4d81' #350M
    #option 'chip_freq'   '350'    
    #option 'timeout'    '40'    
                      
    #option 'freq_value'  '4c81' #325M
    #option 'chip_freq'   '325'    
    #option 'timeout'    '40'    
                      
    #option 'freq_value'  '0b81' #300M
    #option 'chip_freq'   '300'    
    #option 'timeout'    '45'    
                      
    #option 'freq_value'  '0981' #250M
    #option 'chip_freq'   '250'    
    #option 'timeout'    '55'    
                      
    #option 'freq_value'  '0781' #200M
    #option 'chip_freq'   '200'
    #option 'timeout'    '70'
                      
    #option 'freq_value'  '4f02' #193M
    #option 'chip_freq'   '193'
    #option 'timeout'    '70'

After you've done this, hit ESC then hit :
Type wq ENTER, then exit out of Putty, and do a system reboot from the Antminer GUI.

After rebooting your Ant, your miner status should say 375M, your HW should decrease, and your hashrate should be around 190 GH/s.

Good luck.

Thank you, put after reading the thread I see some calculating should be made regarding the HW error %

I have:

HW = 1550
DiffA = 187984
DiffR = 480
DiffS = 0

That comes to 0.008 (I guess 0.8%) with the HW / (HW+Diffa+DiffR+DiffS) formula


If this correct? I see hashing power at 200 (poolside)

0.81% isn't terrible.  I'd stick with it.

Thanks for posting the code. i used the 400MHz code on one of my miners that has 0.002% HW errors. The S1 with better Q ASIC chips that I received a few days ago has a crack in the bottom area of the heatsink forward on blade #2 heatsink, meh! The temps vary 3 C on that side. I set up a push pull fan configuration for both of my AMS1s that lowered the temps by 3-4 C.

Well this suck, the S1 that performs the least amount of HW errors when deafult or OC gets an x on one of the blades. I will try the 393MHz

Everything's good.  From time to time, the xx's appear.  Sometimes a reboot fixes it, most times, going to the Miner configuration and putting a space at the end of any field and taking it out (basically not changing anything) and hitting save and apply, and voila, xx's gone.

Are you upgraded to the latest firmware?

xx's used to bother me.  Nowadays, I don't even pay attention to them on my 2 S1's.  If they are there, the hash goes down by a few GH/s, sometimes no difference in GH/s performance.  Not enough to worry with the btc diff so high...   Of course, I'm not the best guy to ask on these performance impacts, as I've already gotten much more than my BTC costs I spent so my thoughts now are of the time when I have to turn these S1's off as they are producing less than the electricity costs...  I will be sad when that happens as they're like "pets" in our living room and (I have, dunno about my wife, lol) gotten accustomed to them...

Does anyone know what parameters to change to be able to clock higher than 400MHz? Say 420-450MHz?

palawan,

Thanx for the reply, yes my S1s are running the latest FW, the x went away after I rebooted #2.

When it becomes a Cryptographic Currency we consume by mining as you will always be in a loop buying hardware to generated during the current market flux as your wallet within time will always obtain Bitcoins or BTCdust as the market will.

Any Bitcoin dust is beter than no Bitcoin dust no matter the Kw/h, could be 1 = 1.00 or 1= 1200 and so on, damn Xtra IPA Torpedo's.

Hi guys I have used the youtube video to oc my ant miner s-1's


and I am creating a master list of s-1's  oc and dc freq's



https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=589429.msg6460009#msg6460009


I have

400
393
387
375
350
325
300
250
200
193


You can use this to help with the ssh that you do.

I want to get every possible freq with the hex number value and the timeout number.  I am willing to test every one supplied to my thread.

You use my thread with the op's youtube video to do your ssh   oc and dc.

  my testing has shown enough variance in s-1 to s-1 to say having 40 or 50 freqs would be worth while.

 I want to thank the op for his youtube video as that is how I learned to do ssh.

   And ssh is easier to do on a mac with osx 10.8 or 10.9.   So I end up using a mac mini to do all my ssh work.

Going above the 400MHz ASIC's speed is not a good idea and in addition to that, it will most likely give you less performance.  There's a few posts on page 3 or 4 of this thread, I think, but the details are on another thread that I ran into a while back.

:)

Very nice thread!  Thank you very much.  I think I'm done with mining as summer is approaching us here where we live.  ssh is the same on osx  and Linux which is nice.

I am was using the 400MHz script but went to the 393.75MHz, both S1s are avg. over 200GH/s each. I need to get one of my S1s back to the default frequency so I can send Bitmain a screenshot, they want to see the perf. on the one with the cracked heat sink and I don't want to send a screenshot with it overclocked.  :P

The S1 with the cracked heatsink performs the best and has a super low error rate even at 400MHz, the only issue I see are the temps vary 2 C between the blades as my other S1 vary only 1 C. Not a big deal but I am trying to get Bitmain to compensate me for sending me a unit that should not of passed the QC.

Thanks for the reply.

Ok, sounds good.  There is always a discrepancy of temp between the 2 blades for me (for both of my S1's).

If you're on the 393MHz, below is the command to switch to default (350MHz):

Code:
clear
cd /etc/config
mv asic-freq asic-freq.393MHz
mv asic-freq.350MHz asic-freq
read -rsp $'Press enter to continue (Antminer will reboot)... ASICs speed set to 350MHz \n'
reboot


In order to go to 375MHz from 350MHz above, the commands are below to copy and paste:

Code:
clear
cd /etc/config
mv asic-freq asic-freq.350MHz
mv asic-freq.375MHz asic-freq
read -rsp $'Press enter to continue (Antminer will reboot)... ASICs speed set to 375MHz \n'
reboot

As you can see, the scripts depend on the current active speed because the files will get jumbled up if you don't keep track.  Good luck   :)

Updated to 393.75MHz as this produces 200GH/s with a much lower HW errors (I'm getting less than 1%)

Here's an easy way to oc the Antminer S1.  Disclaimers: I'm not responsible for any damages that may result from following these instructions.  This will void the Antminer S1 3-month warranty.   :D

If you want to see a youtube video on how it works; here it is:  How to Overclock the Antminer S1 bitcoin miner [the EASY way] (http://youtu.be/3ue-9LtZSmc)

  • 1.  ssh to your Antminer  (i.e. ssh root@192.168.1.111)
  • 2.  copy and paste everything inside the code box

Code:
clear
cd /etc/config
mv asic-freq asic-freq.before-393MHz
wget -O asic-freq http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/bwbk1wdy0yx1l46/asic-freq.393.75MHz
chmod 664 asic-freq*
read -rsp $'Press enter to continue (Antminer will reboot)... ASICs speed set to 393MHz \n'
reboot


If you must have the 400MHz speed; replace with the code below:
Code:
clear
cd /etc/config
mv asic-freq asic-freq.BitmaintechFactoryVersion
wget -O asic-freq http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/u8thhaxuksnhlw0/asic-freq.400MHz
wget -O asic-freq.375MHz http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/9yuq14py6sou2w3/asic-freq.375MHz
wget -O asic-freq.350MHz http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/o8590pne9clm348/asic-freq.350MHz
chmod 664 asic-freq
chmod 664 asic-freq.3*
ls -la asic-freq*
read -rsp $'Press enter to continue (Antminer will reboot)... ASICs speed set to 400MHz \n'
reboot


Let me know if you have any questions or wish to switch between ASIC speeds (i.e. 180GH/s is 350MHz, ~190GH/s is 375MHz).

  -jeremy

so easy! thanks mate!

Oh and if you happen to have the DC codes, I could use those as well in the near future as I am near maxed on my power grid, heh

Sorry but I don't have an S2.  From what I've read on the S2 thread, the mods on the "files" of the S2 SD boot flash are not permanent and have to be re-applied each time the S2 is rebooted.

I can modify an asic-freq with the values of 387 but I cannot guarantee it as I've never run it myself.  Can you provide the values here?

DC codes?  I think there's a thread on pencil mods but I'm not experienced or knowledgeable on it.  Sorry...

Yeah I am looking for the 387 like..

So nobody could figure the freq for 380 or 385? At 393 I get 3% HW error and at 375 I get .08 so I want to try something inbetween. I know in the larger picture it doesn't matter but I am anal about this stuff.

Try this:

Code:
        #option 'freq_value'    '5e85'  #387.5M
        #option 'chip_freq'     '387.5'
        #option 'timeout'       '37'

But I know very little of compiling code etc.

I thought i read in this thread about you having under-clock settings? I am aware of the pencil mod but wanted to try under-clocking the freq first.

Thanks!

I'm not really compiling...  I'm just making the changes to the /etc/asic-freq    I'd love to learn how to code, but it's taking some time as I'm busy at my day job.

If you want to go to 387 MHz, copy and paste the lines below after you've ssh'ed to your S1 as root:

Code:
clear
cd /etc/config
mv asic-freq asic-freq.before-387MHz

Thank you! Currently I have all my S1 overclocked but I have a couple that are not very fond of the 393 or 400 freq's and figured the 387 would be my next best choice over 375 (or the factory 350). Lemme know if you ever need anything 3D printed and I will hook you up!  ;D

Gotcha! I will probably edit that crap out of my last post to prevent anyone from doing any harm to their Ants  ;)

Oh, sorry about that!  I didn't put the extra .5 in the filename, but this is the frequency you supplied.  DO NOT use the code that you posted as it will mess up your S1.  My dropbox does not have that file you posted in your code.  You're welcome mate!

Here; use the code below with the display of the asic-freq file:

Code:
clear
cd /etc/config
mv asic-freq asic-freq.before-387MHz
wget -O asic-freq http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/c81kk96lu3bvmy6/asic-freq.387MHz
chmod 664 asic-freq*
cat asic-freq | grep -A3 387
read -rsp $'Press enter to continue (Antminer will reboot)... ASICs speed set to 387MHz \n'
reboot




Woot! You rock and thanks so much.

Hello all

   I was planning on overclocking my S1's this weekend using this method for cooling   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VOyrCut0y30

   I bought one S1 off of ebay a while ago it seems to run hotter than the other two I had from china   it runs fan 3180  temps 54,53

the other two run fan 2400 temps 47,47 why is that one running hotter it is not overclocked just wondering should I overclock that one I thought I would start with the new ones first.

What is limit on temp or a safe temp

Many thanks
Steve

Hey, that's my video!  lol.  In the past; I've been worried when the S1 hits 54, but nowadays I've let it run as high as 57 Celcius.  Sometimes the weather is hot here in Los Angeles, California.  I'm happy go lucky now with my S1's since I've gotten much more than my investments of 5.05btc, woo hoo!  My S1's are so dusty but they just keep running very well every day!

65C is the cutoff from what I remember that's listed in the manual.

The one that's running hot may just be the way it was manufactured.  Can't really say for sure.  If you get those cooling fans installed; it's gonna help a lot to lower the temperature...

Good luck!

    I want to overclock my s1's I assume people are using putty to do this can someone give me a link for download I used some sight and there was three puttys which do i use or is there a better program to use?

Hello,

Didn't see this listed. but for the 30/32 of my ant s1 the 393 is too harsh.. I used the common code for 375 but have found that these setting work the best for mine..

option 'freq_value'    '0700'     #375M
        option 'chip_freq'     '375'
        option 'timeout'       '39'


less than .1% hw errors

I'm not sure where you got the values for the 375MHz; I do have 375 on one of the asic-freq files on my dropbox and I have used it when the weather got too hot here and I didn't have the extra fans installed on my S1's.  The 375MHz gives a performance of ~190GH/s per S1.

These are the values I have:

Code:
        option 'freq_value'     '4e81'  #375M
        option 'chip_freq'      '375'
        option 'timeout'        '38'

I used the OC from the dropbox (yes before I read it was bad) for my S1 and it ran fine. I walked out of the room for 2 minutes and when I came back in my S1 was off and my PSU (thermaltek 600) stank. I upgraded to thermaltek 850 single rail and wired my S1 up but nothing, still no power. Is there a way to fix/salvage my S1?

I had just purchased my S1 "new" but am not sure of the manufacturing date.

The last snapshot I have of the miner stats shows it 393mhz 2160 fan speed and 50/51 temp running at 201 gh/s

The setting is not bad.  It's actually the lower setting for achieving 200GH/s.  From what I can tell (based on stats of the google URL shortener (YouTube) and here at bitcointalk; I'd say several thousand S1's are running the same settings...

It sounds like the PSU went bad and took the S1 with it.  Was it connected to a surge protector?  Was there anything that could have shorted out the circuits on the S1 (i.e. some metal)?

Is the new PSU powering up?  If the new PSU is not powering (needs the jumper), it is not the S1 causing that.

My 2 S1's have been running since January, 24 hours 7 days overclocked.  Can't remember them being off for more than a few hours except during times I installed the fans.

No pics, it looks exactly the same. I wish I knew if/what cap was fried. I'm not really sure if the 600w psu blew and fried the S1 or the OC did; maybe I've gotten the psu hookup wrong (hopefully). I've seen two different diagrams on the location of the motherboard jumper 3rd/4th and 4th/5th so I tried them both but not a single beep or whirl. Is is also possible that the thermaltek "SmarT" M850W doesn't work for this kind of hookup?

The ATX "jumper" trick is on the 4&5 pin slots on the clip side, counting from the left. Jumping the 3&4 pin slots might have fried your psu.
You would definitely notice a fried cap. Any bulging caps?

Also, try another PSU and press/hold (10 secs) the reset button on the S1 controller board if you can get it to power up

Any code for underclocked to have 1wattvper gh from s1

I have to upload the asic-freq with the lower frequency value. 
Which frequency do you want to try?  Below are the list:

        option 'chip_freq'     '400'       
        option 'timeout'       '35'        
                                            
        #option 'freq_value'     '4d81'  #350MHz <-- factory default
        #option 'chip_freq'      '350'       
        #option 'timeout'        '40'        
                                            
        #option 'freq_value'    '4c81'  #325MHz
        #option 'chip_freq'     '325'       
        #option 'timeout'       '40'        
                                            
        #option 'freq_value'    '0b81'  #300MHz
        #option 'chip_freq'     '300'       
        #option 'timeout'       '45'        
                                            
        #option 'freq_value'    '0981'  #250MHz
        #option 'chip_freq'     '250'       
        #option 'timeout'       '55'

Whoops, I meant to ask for 275 frequency and not 325/300, apologies as I had a killer migraine last night and everything was super difficult, heh


I do plan on Pencil-Modding but what does this mean...


I don't think it's possible to break anything with this mod, but in case you break something, I'm not responsible

Freq (275 MHz):

edit /etc/config/asic-freq
Quote

        option 'freq_value'    '0A81'  #275M
        option 'chip_freq'     '275'
        option 'timeout'       '45'


Will I need to change the freq to 275 AFTER applying the graphite? Or do the Ants freq change automatically after the graphite is applied?

I'm sorry, mate.  I'm gonna have to say no to uploading any other frequencies.  This is a thread for overclocking and people who go to this thread are going to get settings for underclocking.  In addition; and this is the most important thing:  I use the OC values on the OP.  I've used the 400MHz for a while as well, and even 375MHz.  These values for underclocking; I've never used.  It's the reason I cannot answer your questions.  I simply don't know the answers wrt to underclocking.

Please visit lucazane's thread and good luck with the underclocking.

It looks like dropbox has stopped hosting non-secured http download.  I have to take out the instructions in the OP.  I may have to delete this thread.  I'm also going to take out the YouTube video.

If I find another site that will host http download I may re-upload the files.  To be honest with you; it's probably not worth the effort as by now most people already have OC'ed or about to turn off their S1's due to the diff being too high.

The last post from a bjornsitte leaves a "bad taste", also.  He blamed the OC script for burning out his PSU, never returned to let us know the script didn't damage his equipment.  The Thermalek 600 is not capable of providing adequate power as it's multi-rail 12V.  Just had to vent....

It looks like dropbox has stopped hosting non-secured http download.  I have to take out the instructions in the OP.  I may have to delete this thread.  I'm also going to take out the YouTube video.

If I find another site that will host http download I may re-upload the files.  To be honest with you; it's probably not worth the effort as by now most people already have OC'ed or about to turn off their S1's due to the diff being too high.

The last post from a bjornsitte leaves a "bad taste", also.  He blamed the OC script for burning out his PSU, never returned to let us know the script didn't damage his equipment.  The Thermalek 600 is not capable of providing adequate power as it's multi-rail 12V.  Just had to vent....



Aww damnn.....

update on my s1 issues: Was the PSU that popped and after replacing with something substantial (thermaltek 80+ Gold 750w) no more issues and she's running just fine @ 199.09 GH/s average. Strangely enough of the 3 I have running I'm able to run the the oldest @ 400MHZ with .1% error and when I try to run the newer 2 over 393. MHZ they has 20x the errors. mhmm. I was about the overclock my newest to 393 but guess I'm reading about some dropbox errors... I shall see... always the good ol manual way...

used:

clear
cd /etc/config
mv asic-freq asic-freq.before-393MHz
wget -O asic-freq http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/bwbk1wdy0yx1l46/asic-freq.393.75MHz
chmod 664 asic-freq*
read -rsp $'Press enter to continue (Antminer will reboot)... ASICs speed set to 393MHz \n'
reboot

to overclock latest S1 and did pull from dropbox no prob and was able to update well took it anyway. S1 rebooted but now won't take any shares just powered up without blades running.... Yes I can put back at 350 mhz and it works.... so, why does the overclock not work on this S1? If you say check manufacturing date.... where do I find that info?

Muchos gracias

Don't use any of the scripts that were pointed to download from dropbox as it will leave your S1 without an asic-freq file.  Dropbox will re-direct the S1 during download to https which the S1 wget does not support.

There is no more "easy way" method of copy and paste.  I can probably create another one, using another site that supports http or ftp; but it's not worth the effort (imho) as 90% of the S1's are already overclocked, and there's the good ol' fashioned way which is to edit via   vi editor. 

I'm planning to turn off my S1's in the next 2 months.  I think many people are in the same situation.

Please see this thread for overclocking to different frequencies:

Just pencil mod and underclock your S1's and you will get a bit more life out of them. I was getting 120 Gh/s @ 140 Watts and I was able to mod each S1 and tune the freq in under 5 minutes each (after the first one).

I can manually change an S1 freq under 60 seconds  ;D

  this is true   my 3 at 420gh total and 560 watts total   will out earn my power cost until Jan of 2014

 ( I have about 800 watts available for about 3 cents a kwatt)


 but even at 15 cents a kwatt these s-1s will out earn  power until sept.

23% diff jump 15 cents a k-watt 600 a coin

Could someone please tell me, what the correct numbers are for 375M ??

        option 'freq_value'    '0700'     #375M
        option 'chip_freq'     '375'
        option 'timeout'       '39'

        option 'freq_value'     '4e81'  #375M
        option 'chip_freq'      '375'
        option 'timeout'        '38'

Does it even mather ? Whats' the value for anyway ? ;-)

Thanks

alright im gonna go out on a limb here and hope some is still watching this thread, id like to under clock the s1 as its justa lottery shot now and ive unearthed my old one in  a spring clean up. Can i use some of these ssh copy and paste and just insert lower freq ( 275, 300)

found this guy on you tube great ssh tutorial and the secret keystrokes to under/over clock the s1. super easy www.youtube.com/watch?v=JaMR15NTk1U&t=319s&pp=ygUWdW5kZXJjbG9jayBzMSBhbnRtaW5lcg%3D%3D/
