I'm trying to overclock some whatsminers right now with 2 PSUs. Usually it works fine, pulling power like it should, until after about 20 minutes I get an error of 505x or 901 depending on how high I have my power consumption settings. Anyone here have any experience dealing with these errors? I don't know where to start troubleshooting, but I have a feeling it has to do with the finer points of tuning the firmware's frequency and other power related specs.

Are you doing this air-cooled? please explain a little about your setup, I have never seen the 901 error, but anything that starts with 50 always has to do with the temperature of something, the last two digits will tell you exactly what part is getting hot, but ya judging by the fact that you are "overclocking" the miners -- then it's very likely the error is caused by some temp issues.

Does 505x mean that the displayed content is 5050, 5051, or 5052? According to the error code description, 5050, 5051, or 5052 is displayed for chip temperature protection.

According to the site below the 901 power rate error is normal when an additional power supply is connected.
And about the 505x error, I can't find any source about what is this error.

- bixbit.io/en/documentation/connecting-an-additional-variable-power-supply-unit/6-example-of-m30s-v70-miner-25-overclocking

Why not, try to ask for some help from the site above or try contacting ZeusBTC as they also have overclocked firmware for the WhatsMiner m30 unit?
