I'm really getting annoyed with these how to videos where people lure you in on how to overclock antminer s1's with their youtube video. nearly 80% of the video is them bragging about their mining rig, rather than the content of what steps to take to properly (and safely) overclock the antminer. Is there a guide out there that doesn't have a dog and pony show, that simply cuts the shit and shows me how to get at least around 190 without severely aging my miner?

Use Putty to SSH in your miner.
When in, you'll have to fill in login credentials.
Now logged in, type in the following:

cd /etc/config

You are now in config folder.
Now type:

vi asic-freq

When in the file hit:

i

This will allow you to edit the file.
Now you can see lines that start with '#'.
Remove the hashtags of which clockrate you want and place hashtags at those you dont want.

For example:
Code:
 
        #option 'freq_value'      '0780'        #400M
        #option 'chip_freq'     '350'
        #option 'timeout'        '36'

        option 'freq_value'    '4d81'  #350M
        option 'chip_freq'      '400'
        option 'timeout'        '36'


         ....

Remove hashtags from the 400M options and place them infront of the 350M options.



Now you hit ESC and type:

wq!
exit

Now reboot and done.


Ofcourse you can change the option values.
I have mine to:

Code:
         option 'freq_value'    '4d81'  #400M
        option 'chip_freq'      '393'
        option 'timeout'        '37'

This way it's better for the chips and uses about 50W less power.

I got hacked by some Syrian faggot and now I have negative feedback.
