Re: Stock S3+ voltage

Hello all and thanks for the replys.

I have seen it posted before that the s3+ voltage setting in the webgui didn't do anything.  However, I've also seen contradictory information.  Most notably here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=883197.0  So I guess I don't know what to believe.

Believe me, the S3 does not have software adjustable voltage. There is a version of the C1 hashboard that is adjustable, but I do not think it was ever fitted to the S3? However you can prove it for yourself by measuring, see below.

As for testing the voltage, can you point me to an image of what contact points should be used to test the voltage?  Lastly, based on your response, would 0.780 V (0780) be the stock setting?

Easiest place to mesure the core voltage is across one of the 8 Large 1500uF decoupling capacitors on the Hash board.



Not sure that there is a standard voltage, but you should see about 0.73V. You can then play with the software adjustment and confirm that the voltage does not change.  Smiley
