Honestly for me 375 has been the best.

does anyone know if there is settings for 410MHz or 390MHz? Would be nice to be able to adjust in steps smaller than 25MHz

Mijanur,
Dont,restoring backup wont work for changing critical settings, you need to ssh. I tought the same, never tried but other member told it dos not work.
Read op post.

This is my current setting "ANT201311001752".

What needs editing for the overclocking?
I want to compare this original file with a modded asic-freq file for this specific model.

package 'cgminer'

config 'asic-freq' 'default'
       
#option 'freq_value'    '4f81'  #400M

#option 'timeout'       '35'

#option 'chip_freq'     '200'
       
#option 'timeout'       '70'
#option 'freq_value'    '4f02'  #193M
#option 'chip_freq'     '193'
       
#option 'timeout'       '70'


Im waiting on a replacemnt wrt card cant wait to get it running again.

I will edit the asic-freq file from the backup on pc and then restore from the edited backup zip. instead of ssh into the antminer.

Where can I buy the power cables for the dell psu server ?

Thanks

Don't you have to modify the power cables for that?
yes
but is simple
give me 10 minutes i will try to find right topic with instruction.

edit :

Any question pm me.
I got 2 already in use.

I think now is possible to change a settings via luci interface.
On system/backup first generate configuration archive and save it on hdd. Open it and edit asic-freq and save it.
Then go login into anminer again system/backup and restore backup archive and reboot.
Never tried but could work.
I tried.
Didn't work for me.
PSU buyers.
The best option is to buy used DELL 750 W server psu in uk for 15 pounds each. Working perfect.

Does any one have a good recommendation for a fan to add to the back or maybe know where to source another of the fans it comes with stock? I would really like to add another one to see how that fairs.

any 120mm fan (PWM preferably) will work, but you should look for a minimum of 70CFM (the stock fan is capable of >100CFM i think) to get ideal airflow

Reeven ColdWing 120mm PWM (36.6 dBA, 106.7 CFM at 2000 RPM - high setting)

Bitcoin / Crypto mining Hardware.
At 375 I'm seeing about 193 Gh/s on my unit. it doesn't like 400 at all, too many hardware errors.  I am using an Antec 620W 80+ PSU.  Should I be using a higher rated PSU?
All my 400MHz / 200GH/s Antminers like a 750W PSU. None of them liked 650W or 600W PSU at 400MHz (some or all x in the status).
All work fine at 375MHz/192GH/s with 600 - 750W PSUs.

The buck regulator is a 30A part. Output voltage is 1.1V. Every 8 chip uses one buck regulator. When drawing > 30A the regulator efficiency dwindles a lot. You can Do the math Wink

 my PSUs are 80Plus Gold / Platinum rated.

goxed which gold/platinum PSU do you recommend?
I regularly ab(use) the following PSUs Wink

a) Seasonic or made by Seasonic but different brand
b) Sparkle or made by Sparkle but different brand
c) Rosewill Tachyon / Capstone series

just received my 2nd ant -  Smiley

noticed the original is running: Load: 1.95 1.92 1.94
and the new one is running: Load: 2.04 1.93 1.29

both seem to be hashing around the same rate...

any reason I should upgrade?   what's the latest f/w?

what do these load values represent?

FYI - when clocked at 400 (200gh/s) my killawatt reports a draw of 460 watts at the wall using a thermaltake 700 watt PS.  i'm sure it is a little less now that it's plugged into my 220v circuit, but just wanted to report my watt usage.

375MHz is 190.5GHash for me over 12hrs - i intent to push it upwards again

I have 1 unit that runs at 51/53 degrees for 400MHz and produces 199-200GHash using a 730W PSU (2 rails)       - I assume this is the best the unit can do, due to heat
My second unit runs at   48/50 degree for 400MHz and produces 205-207GHash using a 600W PSU (Corsair, 1 rail)  -  I think a small amount of improvement may be possible

I previously tried the 425 code on the first unit and it did not respond well, with the hashrate being lower, in the 185-188GHash range

Does anyone know if it is possible to set them at 390MHz or 410MHz? I think that could be a good wa to reduce the temperature slightly on one unit, and squeeze a few GH from the other

One suggestion if you have space... take them out of the frame and get fans pointed directly at the heatsinks.  The design is space efficient but not heat efficient.
