Antminer S17 pro fixed Frequency and Voltage default firmware

[bobzombie]

It's working on S17 and  S17Pro. The settings are visible. no need to unlock.

I don't have the firmware to send you , but i have lots of miners with this firmware.

Great ! if is possible, connect your miner on SSH , and extract the files :

usr/bin/cgminer
usr/bin/cgminer-api
usr/bin/bmminer

and past files here... very utile for all people, by this files, is good methode for replace this on new miner for convert this on fixed frequency !

I haven't been able to find that release date in any of the archived S17 firmware sites. Do you know where to find this fixed frequency firmware for S17/S17Pro?

Was anyone able to locate this? It would be super to know where to look.  . Can the volts can go even lower than 17v?

[Biffa]

Must be the original firmware that came with the miner

Yes of corse , just need lower frequency

Lost forever in the internet ether.

I have two S17 Pro that shows CGminer 1.0.0.

You said yours is CGMiner 2.0.0? How to get this?

I don't know if it is interesting for you but I will share anyway

There is changes between APMinerTool 1.0.10 and 1.0.11 in source code, it seems they added support for overclock/underclock for T17,s17 and  s17 pro and voltage freq settings. Actually we added this on our software

Code:

if (miner.Type == "Antminer T17")
{
	parameters.Add("_ant_work_mode", ((Overclock)param).Mode.ToString());
	ConfigParam.set_overclock(parameters, ((Overclock)param).Level);
}
else if (miner.Type == "Antminer S17" || miner.Type == "Antminer S17 Pro")
{
	parameters.Add("_ant_work_mode", ((Overclock)param).Mode.ToString());
	ConfigParam.set_overclock(parameters, ((Overclock)param).Level);
}
else
{
	ConfigParam.set_overclock(parameters, "1");
	parameters.Add("_ant_asic_boost", "false");
	parameters.Add("_ant_low_vol_freq", "true");
	parameters.Add("_ant_economic_mode", "false");
}

and here is the parameters:

Code:

public Dictionary<string, string> setParamS17(JObject conf)
{
	try
	{
		paramS17["_ant_pool1url"] = conf["pools"][0]["url"].ToString().Replace("+", "%2B");
		paramS17["_ant_pool1user"] = conf["pools"][0]["user"].ToString().Replace("+", "%2B");
		paramS17["_ant_pool1pw"] = conf["pools"][0]["pass"].ToString();
		paramS17["_ant_pool2url"] = conf["pools"][1]["url"].ToString().Replace("+", "%2B");
		paramS17["_ant_pool2user"] = conf["pools"][1]["user"].ToString().Replace("+", "%2B");
		paramS17["_ant_pool2pw"] = conf["pools"][1]["pass"].ToString();
		paramS17["_ant_pool3url"] = conf["pools"][2]["url"].ToString().Replace("+", "%2B");
		paramS17["_ant_pool3user"] = conf["pools"][2]["user"].ToString().Replace("+", "%2B");
		paramS17["_ant_pool3pw"] = conf["pools"][2]["pass"].ToString();
		paramS17["_ant_freq"] = conf["bitmain-freq"].ToString();
		paramS17["_ant_voltage"] = conf["bitmain-voltage"].ToString();
	}
	catch (Exception ex)
	{
		General.m_log.write("setParamS17 error ,message:" + ex?.ToString());
	}
	return paramS17;
}

I have a few S17+ 73Th units. I am able to find and display the menu, make the edits for the voltage and freq to appear. However upon save they never stick. Any ideas?

Can you point out some good reading about the do's and don't s of setting your frequency and voltage to maximize performance and efficiency. Great discussion on how to set your frequency and voltage (Topic: Antminer S17 pro fixed Frequency and Voltage default firmware). But I haven't been able to find anything about which settings to use and why. I don't want to fry my unit so I'd like to get some info about setting fixed frequency and voltage on the S17 pro. Just looking to find the best frequency and voltage to maximize $$$$ and lower power consumption. Overclocking info I've found is vague and not very specific to Asic's.

Thanks to philipma1957 and mikeywith for the great info I've gotten so far from a few discussions I've read: fan speeds, chip temps, etc. And now frequency and voltage. New to the mining game but learning quick because of you guys

Can you point out some good reading about the do's and don't s of setting your frequency and voltage to maximize performance and efficiency.

It depends on your goal, if you want efficiency then you are looking for "underclocking", which means you should set the voltage and frequency to the lowest settings available, and then slowly increase the frequency until the miner is no more stable, if you want to "overclock" the miner then it's a different approach, but it's more complicated than this given that the voltage on these gears is universal and not per hashboard.

However, I found that auto-tuning done by custom firmware to be a lot more effienct, not only does it control the frequency of each hashboard but it controls the frequency for every individual chip on each board, and given that different chips on the same hashboard can perform completely different, by maximizing the performance of all chips individually you get an overall much better result wether you are trying to increase the hashrate or the efficiency of the miner.

[petepeters73]

Thank You. I was looking to underclock/undervolt improve efficiency but keep hashrate. I get a pretty good and stable rate now at 59T-62T average with 2331w from the wall, about 39w per TH (not great, not bad). Currently my "factory" settings on these used S17 Pro's are set at 19V and 550M that shows a frequency at 632 on the status page. But as you said, to maximize efficiency I should lower both volts and frequency to the lowest setting and then slowly step up the frequency until I start to lose stability.

I understand about the auto-tuning per chip rather than per board and I will try custom firmware at a later time to do any underclocking/overclocking, once I get my ROI from these units. Until then, I think I'll just let them run for a few months without any changes(they run fine for now, ain't broke don't fix) and then I'll follow your advice and get the custom firmware once I get my money back. Thanks again.
