I would love to see ur vim /usr/lib/lua/luci/model/cbi/cgminer/cgminer.lua file to make sure of my ##'s

I can only get burst of Oc's for 10-15 min's then the bottom drops out and it goes down to 200-360 range no good but still stable at 218 @ 430 GH/s

I'm missing something!

nope some S3s just dont OC.. out of the 3 i have, 2 are temperamental.

i have one that will barely do 218.. it runs at 425-438 ghs, if i clock it to 225 or higher it actually goes slower.

i have one that wont go below 225 without putting x's in one of the chains.
it runs at 225 just fine with 453 ghs, but if i switch it to 218 it runs at 300-320 ghs and has x's

and the last one will clock to 237 with 0 hwe and runs 470 ghs.

Also if it's just a S3 and not a S3+ 430-440 is normal range I would say. And it is true each has it's own personality and some are much better at OC then others.

I don't like the use of "temperamental" it's all hard ware and science they don't have moods they have bad chip or brown caps that explode or resistors that swing wide in there tollance range or parts that get to hot and the resistance goes up so performance go down but just moody? I've been OC'ing from back in the days of 600mhz amd's to the first 1ghz cpu......It's bothering me to see it boot and run at 500 + only to have that speed disaper with no good reson......I'll be losing sleep till I understand what is occurring.

Sadly you will lose sleep then. Some are just better then others at overclocking. Granted you void warrenty doing it, so not all do it.

But you can have two working S3's. It could be lots of reason's, but it is common for some to OC better then others. That is why it is suggested doing it in steps not just jump up to a frequency someone else posted.
