Hi,
I just try to update S320140811 with frequency management.
The frequency 225 is not part of the option (I do not know why?), it goes directly from 218.75 to 237,5. Undecided

Can someone tell me which file to edit to add the 225 frequency in choice?
THX. Wink

The file with frequency values for the advanced page with miner settings is

Code:

/usr/lib/lua/luci/model/cbi/cgminer/cgminer.lua

Look at the end of the file for the frequency list.

Here are highlighted in red the lines with new frequency not included in the stock firmware.

Where did you get S320140811

Its available on Bitmains site. Upgrade with caution, it adds an advanced tab on miner configuration to set frequency, and does not include 225 as mentioned.

After flashing 1 ant it came back up at 100GH/s and took some serious fiddling to get back to 440GHs...

Also the asic-freq file is no longer used in the new firmware, no idea where you would add 225.

Would sure be nice if they opened up the source as required by the CGMiner license...

does the kernel version matter when trying to overclock an s3?

Keeping in mind that # is a comment only, wouldn't it be better to have the comment contain hashing speed and expected watts?

Doesn't something like this

#option 'freq_value' '1406' #513GH/s 420W
#option 'chip_freq' '256.25'
#option 'timeout' '15'

end up being more useful than a comment with the frequency, when its listed under chip_freq already?

#option 'freq_value' '1406' # freq 256.25M gives 513gh/s uses 420watts
#option 'chip_freq' '256.25'
#option 'timeout' '15'

Comments should be useful, right?

see bolded above

may as well be fully clear with a comment .. we forget that there are full newbies.

long windy but clear.

what I do like is we now have a lot to pick from

256.25
250
243.25
237.5
231.25
225
218.75
212.50
206.25
200

Are you still running at 256.25?

no errors errors errors

my batch 4 run at 231.25
my batch 6 run at 237.5 and 237.5

I want to OC my 2 s3.
I have corsair RM1000 PSU, it comes with 6+2 PCI cables,i only have 4 cables but both cables have a split at the end and comes with 2x 6 pin at the end, like in this picture :

I know i need to power all 4 connectors in the S3 if I want to OC, can i use 1 cable to power 2x6 pin slots ?

Yes, this is exactly how mine is set up. (Same PSU)

all steps I did:
1.connect with putty via SSH to the S3 IP adress.
2.log in with l root and p root
3.type : vim /etc/config/asic-freq, the freq page opens
4.I type i on keyboard then hit enter
5.I go comment the 218.75 default value
6.i go uncomment 237.5 value
7.all is good now, i hit ESC and type !wq

all settings are changed, how do i reboot the miner?

You do like in 26:41 in this video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iuBvGUT6VM8

I got mine to freq 250. Replaced the intake fan with a personal fan and took off the case. Has 4 cables and replaced most of the thermal paste except on one of the back heat sink(ran out of paste). Made it wireless with old laptop antenna. The room is about 23.3C and the fan rarely goes above 1700.

Brainwashed this way

^ It should be ok, just make sure the cables/connectors are not getting to hot.

...
I thought the S3 didnt initially have any p2pool support in the first firmware, and the second firmware was largely cosmetic.

If you guys want people off ghash and on to p2pool, it might help to give people a gentle nudge in the right direction. Just sayin.

Rich

The S3s work great with P2Pool from batch 1 on, no problems.

The S1s work great with P2Pool from batch 1 on, no problems.

The S2s have a known issue with P2Pool that has not been fixed.
