Sorry my first post wasn't very user friendly it assumed people were already familiar with vi

I am new to this, I was able to follow your instructions to login and view the file but how do you actually change the lines, what commands do you use to edit and save the file.
thank you
thank you
In order to overclock your Bitmain AntMiner S1 ASIC to provide 200 GH/s and low HW Errors rate with our settings you need to follow the steps below:
The Antminer Asics will be running at 393.75 Mhz
Make sure you check your temperatures after 30 minutes and ensure they are under 50 degrees c
I am running 8 x ant miners on individual Corsair CX500M power supplies at this rate for over 2 days now
Good luck.
Code:
- Login with SSH to your AntMiner S1 ASIC using the IP and username/password you’ve set it to use.
- Type “cd /etc/config” (without the quotes) in order to get to the folder where the config file is located on the miner.
- Type “vi asic-freq” (without the quotes) to edit the config file, comment the currently set options by placing # in front of them and add the following lines or directly replace the values with the following ones:
option ‘freq_value’ ’5f05′
option ‘chip_freq’ ’393.75′
option ‘timeout’ ’36′
- Save the changes you have made and type “reboot” (without the quotes) to restart the miner, so that it can apply the new settings and start mining at 200 GH/s with the overclock settings you’ve set.

WHen I overclock to 200 I get TONS of hardware errors. But at 375 I get about 195 GH/S and no errors. Interesting.

had the same thing happen on my second S1 Antminer. First one using a 750w power supply. This one using a 600w power supply.

My post above is for people who are not very experienced with vi editor. It's copy-and-paste method by downloading a modified asic-freq with the correct values.
Thanks.
Great! Thanks

You can use WINSCP to edit the files too if you don't want to use VI. VI is terrible.

Any chance to get it higher than 200? Mine is at +/- 205 and my HW errors are quite low.

Hello
Palawan, could you write the file for the frequency 393.75?
At the Goxxed thread, ppl r saying that this is the sweet spot between speed and error rate.
As per trying to edit files for myself, sorry but I lack the necessary IT skills.
Any help is appreciated
Thnks

Ok, NorTiaN; here's the instructions to switch to 393.75MHz ASIC's speed. I'm assuming you're on 400MHz right now, but even if you're not, this should still work. Values are courtesy of jedimstr https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.5494459
ssh to the Antminer as root and copy and paste everything in the box below:
Code:
clear
cd /etc/config
mv asic-freq asic-freq.400MHz
wget -O asic-freq http://goo.gl/ASmTAE
chmod 664 asic-freq
head -n 25 asic-freq
Reboot the Antminer S1
Good luck.

WHen I overclock to 200 I get TONS of hardware errors. But at 375 I get about 195 GH/S and no errors. Interesting.
I have another unit running at stock that gets thousands of hardware errors and runs about 2 degrees hotter than the others. Any ideas? Its green LED is also very weak compared to the bright green LED on my other units.
Definitly some units handle the overclock better than others. Diference in the green LED? Prolly just component variance.
I own 6 and they dont all display the exact same green tone. Some brighter, some darker.
Other threads claim that if the error rate is below 2%, your fine. Have you done your math?
Cheers
quick calc (not the official formula but good enough) HW/DiffA= less than .02 you're good.
I can make that file and script for 393.5MHz, but I just need to look at the value. I'm not comfortable recommending it, as I haven't tested it myself, but maybe if it's good, I'll switch to it, also. Thing is 400MHz is getting me over 200GH/s (202GH/s+ on 1 Ant and 204GH/s+ on the other Ant)
I'm making a script for another forum member for --load-balance so I'm uploading 2 files to dropbox so I'll just make it 3 files

Same here, except for the LED. My other 4 are awesome, just the one problem child.

The Antminer overclocking to 200Gh/s so easily makes we wonder why I can't find any efforts to get it beyond that. It should be easy to improve the stock cooling, isn't it possible to squeeze out more hashpower?
I have a youtube video on my signature and I added 2 fans each directly on top of the heatsinks after they have been remounted to face outwards which helped very much with the cooling as weather here is too warm for mining.
Still, I wouldn't attempt to overclock more than 400MHz per chip (~200GH/s) as I saw posts in other threads that the limitations are on the voltage regulators which if needed replacement would need resoldering a new one or risk 8 chips out of commission or more.
There's also increased HW which result in lower performance...
The capacity of the DC-DC converters or the set value?
There are voltage regulartor on each S1 blade (4 of them?) near the top, someone posted a picture of it on the threads. They detailed the rated limits, then calculated the requirements per ASIC based on chip frequency. Also, in another thread, some people calculated the effects of going to different chip-frequencies and some did go beyond 400MHz and got lower performance. Based on that, I think the sweet spot (for me) is 400MHz. Some said even lower, but I've stayed at 400MHz chip frequencies for more than 40 days on 1 of my Ant's and quite happy with the performance and stability (lack of problems).
