i manage to undervolt my ant s3+. here is the result

stable at 305gh
freq 150
config voltage 065
HW .003 30 ment. idle
new firmware
191watts on wall i use digital corsair hx850i

Thank you for this..

however, if you change the config voltage, I doubt any change in watts at the wall. that setting has been disabled as per BITMAIN_Janet upthread just a bit.

your getting .62 watt / gh

really looking for someone to take this thing apart and see how we can reduce the actuall voltage to the chips more then just changing the freq does.

Does anyone have a copy of the 12/19 firmware?

I have 12/16 and 12/19. Gotta find them.

Which of those is the best?

Dear engineers know pull off a decent firmware for Antminer S3 +? too many mistakes in recent hardware firmware that you released.
thank you very much. Huh

What kind of problems you found? May you list here or PM me?

sorry to pull up an old post.. but it is nearing time to see how efficient we can get the S3's. The voltage setting in the UI odviously does NOT affect the wattage used at the wall, anyone come up with a pencil mod for the S3 yet?

We disable the feature of voltage adjustment, becuase some types of S3+ can not support voltage adjustment.

The reset was updated in thelatest firmware.

okay some more testing of my pair… I set the freq to 212.5 on both machines now.

I pulled the evga 1300 dropped in a seasonic 1000 plat.

very nice results my meter is 620 or 630 watts. I don't have a k-watt right now this meter shows by va or volts x amps and is by 10 so the flux is 620 or 630. it bounces back and forth.

so 630 watts for gear running at 840gh comes to .75 watts. my freq 212.5 seems to be very good for my two machines.

0 hw temps are cool. anyone that wants to ssh should give 212.5 freq a shot.

we need someone to figure out a pencil mod. my guess is 212.5 freq /423gh could drop from 315 watts to 280 watts

Can I get some beta testers for a new S3 firmware please? Download link is here, it *should* be good to go but as you know....

Rolls back to the last good patch in Oct (1024), but fixes voltage adjustment and the important reset button. Hopefully.... let me know.

@sloopy,

If you need the S3 Control PCB restored, if you could return the S3 Control to the warranty center, we can reset it for you.

Non-Warranty Qalified Items, we usually charge you the return shipping fee, however, in this case, Please let us know which seller you purchased the S3 units from and how jerk they were in details.

We will waive the fee to reset the control PCB. (If you need 2 of them, just send them back to our warranty center via USPS Priority Mail if you are in the USA.)

I am in the US.
I do not have a problem diving in these things, but I certainly have plenty to work on at the moment around the house. I haven't done much but troubleshoot miners for the past few evenings and the clutter is catching me.

I appreciate you offering to handle this. I will take you up on it and send them on Monday.
If there are other options for a couple of complete units, trade ins? trade ups, or anything along those lines please PM me and I will send complete units.

Thanks again.

No, I cannot work it out with the ebay seller. The guy is a jerk and I have special place in my heart for people like him and Josh Garza.

Dogie, aren't there posts how someone connected to the board via serial?
Isn't that what Bitmain will do? Does Bitmain share these steps? Are they documented?
I have the skills and tools to do this, I do not have the instructions if you have seen some or know a thread. I searched serial S3.
I will keep looking but I know I saw such.
We used to do everything with DB25s and DB9s, swap 2 and 3 and either 5 or 9 is ground if you need it with 2 and 3 being rcv and xmt.

Any help is appreciated and if someone can help me get it going I will certainly tip.

Here's how you can flash your rig via serial

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.9902302

EDIT: The only thing you need to do (aside from that one post), is find the serial connector on the S3 control board, and also getting a CP210x type dongle .... those are real cheap.

Thanks, I will give it a shot!

I have had older S3's here and the reset button always works eventually. Might take forever but it eventually goes. TRY powering down the miner press the button while its booting and hold it. The light should go red and flash. That's when you know its working.Then restart.

When I boot the unit the red LED is flashing on and off. It looks like other units and the network kicks in and yellow with green alternate on - off.
I tried press and hold the reset before the network kicks in, and it never does, the red led keeps flashing on / off indefinitely.
I tried waiting until after the network kicks in and nothing. It flashes yellow and green back and forth. I held the button in for a good 5 minutes.

I will try this one more time as I didn't press, hold when it was still flashing red on and off for a minute or so and then let it sit there flashing the red on - off, maybe it is writing something at that point idk. Last shot on the reset button

I can't get the usb to uart until Monday. I'm in the U?S so it is Sunday.

Thank you for the words, at least I know not to think 5 or 6 seconds will do anything.

The preferred option would be to contact your ebay seller and see whats going on. Likely its got pre 1219 firmware on so reset button won't work. If you can't resolve with the seller, then PM BitmainWarranty to arrange an RMA. Be sure to link to your post describing the issues, what type and how many miners you wish to have repaired/replaced and your bitmaintech.com order number. They'll give you a quote - which hopefully is reasonable.
