All of my Ants are operating at 300Mhz and using about 200-220W at the wall. I like only needing one CX750M for two ants!
is this without hardware modification? what Avg speed u got @ 300Mhz

is this without hardware modification? what Avg speed u got @ 300Mhz This is achieved by "pencil modding" one of the feedback resistors and indicated in the beginning of this thread. I modded them from 4.7K to about 3.3K. This produced much lower power usage with acceptable errors (<2%). They average about 153Gh. Temps are MUCH more manageable now too. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

I have 1.5 Antminers. One that always performced fine, and one that always performed badly, with the 2nd board shipped back after dying, and now supposedly lost in mail. The bad performing board is april 2014 issue.
Got all 3 board modded to < 3kOhm, and Now I am running around 248 Watts for 210 GH/s (GHash.io average, 1 day). The single board is doing 65 GH/s, the fullminer is doing 145 GH/s. Both do have some HW errors, < 1%.
So I am at < 1.2W/GHS. So even the relatively high power costs here allows me to make a profit for a few more weeks/months.

i might be undervoltng sooner than later - the results people are seeing is impressive. 75% speeds for 60% wattage
just holding out until for a few more weeks while the difficulty is low (11% jump = party)

Hi Guys was wondering if someone could tell me where im going wrong? tried to undervolt all r3 resistors tonight but made no difference to ohms or volts, perhaps could i be using the wrong type of pecil (4hb i was using)
thanks

4HB should work fine. What exactly did you do and how many times did you trace it?

You have to rub the pencil across the resistor several times, make sure the pencil is sharp, and blow away any excess before you measure the resistance. Don't press real hard and dislodge the resistor.

Watch this video and make certain that you are applying the pencil mod similar to how it is depicted in the video. http://youtu.be/LNXSHpPACGsI've modded several of them so far with no issues. Likely you're modding the wrong resistor, or applying the pencil mod wrong. Remember, you need to mod 4 resistors per blade (total of ![Cool](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cool.gif) .

Thanks, watched the video, is it a case of over the top of the resistor or around the side, also how many pencil strokes on all resistors.

Yep 345 watts for 3 antminers (113GH + 112GH +106GH) = 1.04 W/GH chip @~0.78

I've been working on this right now as I'm completely out of electricity in my house right now. It's either turn things off or undervolt these guys so the option was kind of easy. Here are the results I've achieved so far with one out of four antminers. I'll keep this updated as I get the others setup as well. Completely Stock:
Frequency = 350 Power Consumption = 364 watts Roughly = 178.60 GH 30 Minute Error Rate = 0.22854691951839710793174228730737
---------------------------------------------------------
Modified:
Network Side (Measured closest to the fan moving towards the back) Resistance 2.850 kOhms .864v top / .864v bottom Resistance 2.903 kOhms .869v top / .867v bottom Resistance 2.904 kOhms .871v top / .869v bottom Resistance 2.941 kOhms .872v top / .870v bottom
Non Network Side (Measured closest to the fan moving towards the back) Resistance 2.915 kOhms .868v top / .867v bottom Resistance 2.933 kOhms .876v top / .875v bottom Resistance 2.915 kOhms .869v top / .868v bottom Resistance 2.894 kOhms .872v top / .870v bottom
Frequency = 275 Power Consumption = 184 Watts Roughly = 115.21 GH with erros 30 Minute Error Rate = 17.142677798003891783315548302053
-
Frequency = 250 Power Consumption = 162 watts Roughly = 128.60 GH 30 Minute Error Rate = 0.11227745005435654328028372333411
--------------------------------------------------------- As can be seen I was shooting for the OP's results out of this, but 275 gave massive amounts of HW errors. I was looking at the frequency formula and was having issues working it out. Could someone come up with a frequency table between 250 and 300 in small steps?Something along the lines of this, but for undervolted results would be excellent: 5e82 = 387.50 MHz 5f02 = 393.75 MHz 5f82 = 400.00 MHz 6002 = 406.25 MHz 6082 = 412.50 MHz

Finished my other 3 antminers. I'm guessing the results on the first one were a bit of an oddity, but I'll try and work on that one a little later. More results: Ant2 Ant2 R3 Resistance 2.911 kOhms .876v top / .875v bottom R66 Resistance 2.949 kOhms .879v top / .877v bottom R38 Resistance 2.930 kOhms .863v top / .857v bottom R52 Resistance 2.966 kOhms .870v top / .866v bottom
R3 Resistance 2.915 .858v top / .853v bottom R66 Resistance 2.909 .856v top / .850v bottom R38 Resistance 2.908 .858v top / .853v bottom R52 Resistance 2.928 .867v top / .865v bottom

My first antminer runs with a super low HW error rate at 250, but horrible at 275, and I think I could bump it up a little bit.
