Thank you Bitmain for releasing some good values to work on!
I'm going to get this done ony remaining S1s

OG Bitcoin Miner turned Proof of Stake Validator.
Maxed out Raspberry Pi 4 8GB at 120$ a Day Revenue with ~15K XTZ Bonds in Summer of 2021.
Looking at Proof of Stake systems all across the crypto ecosystem to expand operations.

This guideline is for under clocking modification to get 1W/GH/s. In order to get 1W/GH/s, you shall modify the hardware and software. 1 Hardware Modification1.1 Resistor Typical Value Package Type: 0603  1.2 Power Consumption and Hash Rate  1.3 How To Modify Step 1: Remove the existing components: R3, R66, R38, R52. Step 2: Refer to Resistor Typical Value to replace the R3, R66, R38, R52. Step 3: Clear the excess of rosin and solder tin slag around resistors. 1.4 Refer to below locations to do modification  2 Software Modification2.1 Connection Miner Though SSH protocol on your PC to connect S1, user name and password are ‘root’ by default. Then modify ‘freq_value’, ‘chip_freq’ and ‘timeout’ in the etc/config/asic-freq file. 2.2 Modification Value 2.2.1 200M*8*32*2 = 102.4GHash: option 'freq_value' '0781' #200M
option 'chip_freq' '200'
option 'timeout' '60' 2.2.2 225M*8*32*2 = 115.2GHash: option 'freq_value' '0881' #225M
option 'chip_freq' '225'
option 'timeout' '55' 2.3 Restart Miner Power off and restart Miner, check the configuration via Web GUI ‘Miner Status’. If the Miner doesn’t work normally, please double confirm the correction of frequency configuration file. Yummy need to know the Power@Walls. |

they could put the resistors in and sell the modded ones as s-1A's
low power model.
better yet they could put in 8 pots 3k ohm to 4.47k ohm and sell them as adjustable models

ones with pots would be great - I would like to see them release a more compact 'S1A' with slightly smaller heatsinks closer together and an initial 150GH/200W spec. This could drop the costs slightly and handle the first small undervolting step for the consumer |

I'm waiting for their new generation hardware announcement. |

If its still a month or two away it may serve bitmain well to release a slightly undervolted version of the S1 in order to keep competitive in poth price and efficiency. I 'know' i cna undervolt my antminers when the time comes (very soon), but i really dont look forwards to repeating the process 16 times... |

Let it continue. Atlast I will put a pot. |

I'm in the same boat with you. Hopefully the price keeps going up, then I won't have to worry about undervolting for awhile more. The only reason I wanted was so that I could add more hardware, but if the price keeps going up, I won't have to worry about adding new hardware for another month or two. Oh in ref to the fan I was mentioning earlier; I forgot to mention that I put in a little dab of hot glue on the frame where the fan would be, that gives it a bit of a gap (basically using it as spacers) so I can use the two screws I took off the original fan, that way I avoid the fan blades hitting the little screws there are there. |

Added link to my pictures of the 10k pot addition to S1's. http://imgur.com/a/8SUO8 It would be best if you are going to just change out the resistor to put in a 10K pots! Then when BTC is worth $1000 or so you can just crank the S1 back up to 200Gh without more hardware changes. |

You could do a side business s-1 mods. you need coins to drift upwards at the correct pace. |

In my case I'm going to throw 5K pots on... I just don't have to turn them down right away  Thanks Trend for the pics! |

According to Bitmain their chip voltage range is 0.75V to 1.20V.
To achieve this range you need ~3.2 ohms to ~9.7 ohms (I don't have my calc's with me but these values are very close)

Yeah, I don't want to test the higher end. Mine are at 4.47 (give or take) currently. I'll only be in the 4.47k to 3.2k range or lower... edit... I'm a dumbass... 5K pots turned all the way up are going to result in too low resistance to hit the lower voltages? |

I would love for all my s-1's to have a 0k to 5k pot or better yet a 2.5k to 5k dial in option. 2.5k would prevent too low and 5k would prevent too high |

My understanding that for undervolting as per bitmain scheme, I will be removing R3, etc. resistors, but then instructions are a bit thin for me…Do I put something else in place? bitmain says: refer to resistor value to replace. This is where I don't understand. I have to replace R3 and 7 other resistors (8 total, 4 on each board) with what? 2. how POTs came into this? Is it a POT I have to put in place of removed resistors, or is it optional and I can simply put a small droplet of tin where resistor (R3, etc) was? Thanks |

If you ever wanted to get back to "stock 180GH" your pot would have to go up to 8.2Kohms which puts you at 1.12 -1.13 V at the chip.
5K ohm will only get you up to 0.9 to 0.92 V at the chip.
0- 10K are just as common as 0-5K and both are priced the same at $0.40 - $0.70ea
If you're going to play, play right.

The stock R3, 66, 38, 52 resistors are 8.2K which give a voltage of 1.12-1.13VDD at the chip (check the S1 schematics or the BOM). Turn the pencil you used for the pencil mods around and use the rubber to erase your calculations |

Wish I had a clue about any of this to be honest.
I've read this thread in full now and my head is spinning!!
I have NEVER done any electrical work or soldering - does anyone here live in the UK and fancy doing this for me in exchange for a few £'s lol?
