BITMAIN Antminer S1 support and OverClocking thread

[jtonthebike]

I have just set mine up. I'm using a Dell server PSU and it's OC'd @ 400 and has been *very* stable for the last few hours. The best bit? I'm using some PCI-e cables left over from a Seasonic PSU and these have been soldered to the PSU output (though to do it again I'll use some sort of multiplug arrangement) anyway, the PSU was less than £10 delivered and is 750w. I'm still baffled why everyone has gone out and bought fancy pantsy PSU's.

So, if you're struggling for a high output PSU take a butchers for a server unit as these can come in incredibly high wattage units.

All together including the Antminer and the Dell PSU, it's considerably quieter than my 3mhs scrypt rig and consumes half the power.

Probably 2 reasons.

1.  Not everyone knows how to solder the correct wires.

2.  I have seen cheep dell server psus for $9 too.  But im almost certain they are  less than 80% efficient.  

Pulling a 400 watt load 24/7 for a year would cost $50 more in electricty (@ 16 cents kw/hr for example) than a name brand Platinum unit. Say a Corsair platinum AX760 (7 year warranty) you can buy for $140, and you can power 2 Antminers, then you would save $100 a year.

Hi
 do you have any advice how to split AntminerS1 hash power?
 For example 4*50 GHs?
 Is it possible?
thanks

I was trying to use the 'Restore to default' setting in my ANTminer today and it restarted automatically like it was supposed to but it doesn't let me log in. I shows the black LuCi screen and then moves to a page cannot be loaded screen.


I am tried used the hard reset by jumping the wires but it does not work.

Anyone else have this same problem?

the luci screen will load due to your browser cache - the actual antminer IP likely changed when you reset. try 192.168.1.99 or 192.168.2.99 if that does not work

Has anyone with the flipped heatsinks with fans gone above 400?  I thought about trying 425 or 450.

I also do have my watercooled heat sinks from my Avalon2 setup that I just need to drill and tap some (checked where water jackets were) so if temps became a problem not to worried about that part.

Here is mine currently at 400.  Screenshot sucks even more because its a screenshot while logged in teamviewer LOL



They are both on 750W gold supplies right now due to some changes around with my rigs, but that one is an Enermax 1000W.  The screen shot is the right side one that has the bigger fans (95cfm)

How much damage are you doing, if any, with the current HWI%?  How long have you been running them?

[bronan]

How come i see so high temps with so many fans cooling them
And all the X's lol
 

[Powell]

All X's is firmware thing first time I saw it I freaked out.

If I did my math correct HW Error is .02 right now.

It's one day right now because I swapped the PSU out the yesterdayish.  Before same setup ran 5 days straight before i moved locations of the miners.  Moved them into the shop area from our hang out area.

I'm use to the x issue

HWI% =  (HW)/(HW + Diffa +Diffr + Diffs).  If my numbers are correct = (103,560)/(103,560 + 4,279,472 + 5632+0) = i get 2.37.  Am I wrong in my way of calculating hwi%?

Please tell me I am so I can clock my miner at 200

not possible.

possible . i run on 4 pools for low variance ( with 2 ants )

[jgm_coin]

So does #375M actually work?  What kind of hash rate does it give?  What's the power usage like?

I'm getting 192 GH/s average with 375 and very low HW (less than 10 total /day).  Definitely recommend this setting as it stays quiet and cool, assuming you don't get many HW errors

[Powell]

So no testing above the 400 area with any major cooling upgrades?

you missed the multiplying by 100

[qosmio]

it is a interesting setup, but maybe try back the original hardware config, and compare temperatures, also try oc a little less than 400 like 393 as written in blog, maybe get out more mbtc/hour

not possible.

You could do quotas, effectively splitting the hash power, as long as the pools are up and running.

[BotwinBG]

--bitmain-dev <arg> Set bitmain device (default: usb mode, other windows: COM1 or linux: /dev/bitmain-asic)

--bitmain-hwerror   Set bitmain device detect hardware error

--bitmain-auto      Adjust bitmain overclock frequency dynamically for best hashrate

--bitmain-cutoff <arg> Set bitmain overheat cut off temperature (default: 60)

--bitmain-fan <arg> Set fanspeed percentage for bitmain, single value or range (default: 20-100)

--bitmain-freq <arg> Set frequency range for bitmain-auto, single value or range

--bitmain-options <arg> Set bitmain options baud:miners:asic:timeout:freq

--bitmain-temp <arg> Set bitmain target temperature (default: 50)

None but --bitmain-options do anything, do they?
