Yep, I followed the old guide even with the new version - it worked fine, but I'm now using the correct values that you have (and were in the default asic-freq file as a guide). My firmware is Dec 12, 2013 actually since I went back one version to avoid the excessive beep/rebooting I was seeing (I have my Ants temporarily far away and sometimes they have difficulty with solid connections. After this week, I'll have them in a much better place and will be able to bump the firmware back to the most recent.

Good luck.

Just fyi... I have to reboot my Ant's about every 24 hours as I see xx's on the ASIC's. I'm sure it's just cosmetic (because the hash performance is fine) but I'm still babying these as they cost more than my old beat-up car, lol. I can connect to my Ant's from anywhere so reboot is very easy using the web interface.

You do not need to reboot on seeing an 'x', it is a display bug, just watch the share rate on the pool of your choice.

***** We may be having a miscommunication. I'm thinking you have the latest version but followed an overclock guide that uses the values from the earlier version of the Ant S1, no? *****

Sorry but below is the original overclock guide from goxed. As you can see he mentioned your S1 version. On another note, check your kernel log (under system tab) and see if you have the latest Firmware. That's most important. It should say 12-26-2013 on the top right hand corner.

This is really a great help!!
I got 6x S1 incoming, and this excelent tutorial will serve me well. Gonna tip for sure.

I wish someone would have the baals to do a similar tutorial for knc machines...

Anyways, big thnks!!

You're very welcome! Thank you for the nice words. If you have any questions, just let me know. I do hope you're not in Southern Cali (or any warm-weather location) as I've had to turn the first Ant S1 inside-out (heatsinks on the outside). It looks like I may have to do the same on the 2nd Ant...

Overclocking makes the Ant's warm. I don't want the any blade to hit 52C, so I sometimes go back to stock. Yesterday had to turn the AC on as I didn't want to drop the speed, lol! I think it's worth it.

The dropbox idea is a good un Wink

I like the approach you have used, I have been scp'ing files between ant's instead.

A couple of comments if I may. You might want to change the mv to a cp in case of a problems such as a power outage because then an asic-freq will always exist regardless and the wget with an -O should clobber the original. The last three lines can also be removed as the wget will put the file with workable permissions. Personally I would just add a reboot command to the script but that may freak a few noob users.

Thank you! We're getting a lot of new people in the mining scene because of the Antminer S1's and I figured anything to help them out. I'm a huge fan of Bitmaintech, as I bought from the sushi GB5 and now directly from Bitmaintech and both machines are very stable! No pretty cases, but well-built and performs as advertised (plus more with OC)

I used mv as I don't like to mess with factory system files (if I can help it). It also keeps the date and time of the original files. The permissions I saw were rw/rw/r on the original asic-freq file so wanted to change the ones made by cp/wget from rw/r/r to be the same. It's probably ok.

Can't wait what Bitmaintech will announce after the Chinese New Year! Maybe cheaper Ant's? or More powerfule machines?! The last difficulty adjustment was not crazy (imo) so maybe it's leveling off....

PS: I forgot to add, if by some coincidence you get a power-out right after the mv command was issued, just ssh to the miner again and execute the copy and paste and it should be ok. Re-running the process duplicate times should not hurt anything...

***** This doesn't work with earlier versions of the Antminer S1. Check your asic-freq first if you have the older version Antminer S1. Ask here or pm me on how to check. *****

Here's an easy way to oc the Antminer S1. Disclaimers: I'm not responsible for any damages that may result from following these instructions. This will void the Antminer S1 3-month warranty. Cheesy

If you want to see a youtube video on how it works; here it is: How to Overclock the Antminer S1 bitcoin miner [the EASY way]

1. ssh to your Antminer (i.e. ssh [email protected])
2. copy and paste everything inside the code box

Code:

clear
cd /etc/config
mv asic-freq asic-freq.BitmaintechFactoryVersion
wget -O asic-freq http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/u8thhaxuksnhlw0/asic-freq.400MHz
wget -O asic-freq.375MHz http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/9yuq14py6sou2w3/asic-freq.375MHz
wget -O asic-freq.350MHz http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/o8590pne9clm348/asic-freq.350MHz
chmod 664 asic-freq
chmod 664 asic-freq.3*
ls -la asic-freq*

3. reboot the Ant

Let me know if you have any questions or wish to switch between ASIC speeds (i.e. 180GH/s is 350MHz, ~190GH/s is 375MHz).

Nice tool to help folks. BTW, I've been using the values from the S1 guide to get to 400MHz:

Code:

        option 'freq_value'     '0780'  #400M
        option 'chip_freq'      '400'
        option 'timeout'        '36'

Anyone know which of the 400MHz approaches is "best?"

Thanks. I'm going to have to revise the OP, lol. You have the early revision of the S1 and my settings won't work for you. Thank you for alerting me.

Early, really? I just got it a few days ago through sushi's pre-new year 1.9 BTC blowout.

Edit to add: I tried your 400MHz settings anyway (since that matches what was in my default asic-freq as suggested), and it seems to work. Maybe even +1 GH/s.

No good. wget on the S1 does not support https and dropbox had stopped supporting http downloads. Sorry everyone. No more easy way to OC. Good luck.
