Hi,

I bought an Antminer S1 that I didn't know was overclocked when I bought it (I'm assuming it's overclocked because it's operating at 400 mhz according to web interface).  It's been hashing fine at around 200 gh/s (usually 205 gh/s), but I just logged in today and I noticed a lot x's under ASIC Status.  Is this bad?  Could it be due to overclocking?  Should I revert back to 350 mhz?  If so, how do I do that?  Thanks,

Kevin

Edit:  When I first checked, all but seven were x's (a total of 57, I think).  I just checked about 30 minutes later and now there are only 22 x's. 

Edit2: Now we're down to 8 x's. 
Bitcoin mining is now a specialized and very risky industry, just like gold mining. Amateur miners are unlikely to make much money, and may even lose money. Bitcoin is much more than just mining, though!

restart your miner and observ it. if the Xs come again change the it to 350 or 375 MHz.

Thanks...  it seems they are gone now.  I didn't restart, but they just dropped on their own.  Is this bad for the hardware?  I rarely log in to check these things, so I have no idea if it's happened in the past and if it happens again, I probably won't notice it.

Its a display bug in the firmware.  If the hashrate is correct on miner and at pool then leave it go.  Else cycle power a couple times and it will go away.
