OK, so I guess I shouldn't worry about my miner as I have it on a 500w PSU.

Thanks guys Smiley

My S1 is using 430w but that's overclocked.  I would be more interested in the temperature than the speed itself, which will vary somewhat.  Mine is running @ 44 both sides, again that's clocked.  I did install a fan on the front side which seems to make a big difference.

Happy Mining!

I thought i would share this:::

oK,.. heres a good one..
the kill a watts we use to measure wattage.... they WILL work on 220.
I just plugged  mine into 220 and plugged the seasonic 750 into it with 2 antminers on it
686 watts  3.16 amps

edit:  after running for a few.. it is 689 watts.  If what everyone is saying about 440watts to OC for 20 Gh... it is NOT worth it.. not even close.
100 watts for 20Gh....


edit:  i thought I would add... this is on a 12/3 wire that is at least 100 feet from the panel

Why don't you overclock it and see for yourself instead of reading what everyone is saying.

HA.. good point... but even 50 more watts will not be worth 20Gh  ....  now it has settled down to a solid 680...  so each ant is 340 stock at 220v
50 more watts for 20 GH/s is only 2.5J/GH. That's only a bit above the normal value of 2J/GH, and will earn way more in income than it costs in power.

Interesting on the KillAWatt. I've never tried it but I always wondered if it might. Never got around to making a cheater though. I'll have to give it a try now.

edit:  actually that is wrong.. 50watts would be OK. cause that is not much more then the stock gh/watt

Just quick one. Coupons- they works per order or i can use 2,3 coupons on one order?



You can use more than one per order i believe.

To clarify, just one per item in the order. So to use more than one coupon you have to buy more than one item.

No you can use 2 or 3 on one item - there is a drop down that lets you choose.

Yeah it's silly. Set up a p2pool node or join a public p2pool node. Or join some other smaller pool. Smiley

Variance is too risky with the rate of difficulty increase to use a smaller pool.

Variance isn't "risk", just variance in when you get paid. You won't make less income on a smaller pool. You'll just get larger payouts less often, instead of on a big pool where you get tiny payouts very often.
You will get less coins if the difficulty has a massive jump while you are still churning through an old block on your slow ass pool.

antminer oc'd to 400mhz runs fairly stable at about 203GHs with temps in the low forties, fanspeed at 2800rpm,  HW errors about .1% and CPU about 100%

when i lower the freq to 387.5mhz it looses about 6GH, HW=0 (never changes) and saves about 10W,  but everything else stays the same.

i know its not a big difference either way but which is more preferable considering my circumstances.  Im thinking considering the difficulty increases comming, hell with the 10W and to push it as much as possible, but its the HW thing which is making me hesitate.

The pool reported hashrate is what ultimately matters, as it's what defines your payout. So don't mind the HW errors, overclock it to 400 MHz.

Hi. Need help. My ant shipped EMS.
1 February 2014 09:58:21 — sent to the customs control.
The item is held by customs. The reason is: CONFIRMATION VALUE attachments
It keeps in custom-house


ruh roh...

tell them its a repaired unit, maybe

ive also seen others discuss the cpu bottleneck when overclocking but no real solutions.  is there a way to ease the cpu usage and does it matter?

LOL... I wasn't commenting on your sentence, but about saying you were done with big pools so you're moving from the biggest with 29% of the network to the second biggest with 24% of the network. Smiley
