1st of all the PSU MUST be able to supply sufficient voltage if one wanna OC or the voltage to be lowered if want to UC.
i see most of the guys here are using ATX PSU which does NOT provide enuff voltage even to run at stock freq's.
i think 12V + 5% is "Recommended" ?
ATX PSU can hardly provide 12V with loads.
again it VOIDS warranty.
get a good reliable PSU with adjustable voltage after the warranty expires then come back here & continue discussing UC/OC.
ah ha, also pcie cables that are being used. most are 18 awg. if 1 can afford to buy an s7 at such price, why is it that difficult to get a reliable PSU + good quality cables ?
i may sound like an a*s here now but just sharing & hopefully no one comes & say i shouldn't have done that & now my miner is burnt or exploded or my house caught fire etc.
have fun with the miners. just sharing my 2 sat's worth opinion.
There should be no problem in lowering the frequency a bit. a good atx psu like the 1600w g2 evga is sufficient. provided cables should be good. in any case, feel cables for heat to be sure. The batch 8 voltage is : 4. Rated Voltage: 11.60 ~13.00V according to specs, but its true earlier batches were 12v or something like that.
