Hash Rate

[Chris301197]

Hi at all! I've got an antminer u3 Bitmain. I've connected it to the cgminer and now it is mining, but I have a problem. When I start CGminer, the hash rate is 55-60 Ghash/s but after 10 minutes it becomes 15 Ghash/s and remains so for all time. WHY? Maybe I must set an higher frequency? How? Thank you!

have you followed this guide https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=827356.msg9244179#msg9244179?

your command line is missing something?

is the miner cool enough, not too hot, maybe it downclock itself because it is running at high temp, but i doubt they have this kind of protection, but since i'm not so familiar with this miner i want to be sure...

My script is "cgminer -o stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333 -u my username -p my password" and cgminer connects itself to the pool. In my cmd there are the blocks accepted, so the script work well. But the speed is very low. Maybe I must to use an other script in the .bat file? How I can resolve this problem?

Try the latest version of cgminer. If the hashrate drops it is slowly failing. Either you need to run them at a lower clock speed, run them at a higher voltage or use a better power supply or combination of all of those things. The U3s are unreliable crap in general and you need to nurse them to get any reliable hashrate out of them.

Can you show me how to change the voltage and the frequency?

Here is a example of a cgminer command for it - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=854958.msg9522331#msg9522331

You might need to play with it to get best results.

I have a U3 Had to add AFTER the Worker Password,,   --au3-volt 780 --au3-freq 243

I cut the power adapter from the Shitty PSU and put it on a 12v 30 amp that I got for $23 from Amazon. Still stops mining on its own, have to unplug USB cable to get it rehash, restarting Cgminer does knothin. Good luck and happy hashing!
