I'm thinking droping voltage, step by step, to find a minimum my miner can run at 589 MHz.
What problems will I encounter ?
Can I recover on my own?

At some point when lowering the voltage, the hardware error rate will start increasing but nothing else should happen. Just in case you manage to still trip some undocumented failsafe and the unit ends up in a reboot loop due to the test settings having been saved, you'll still always have the option to re-flash the sd card and return back to the default settings.
Note that it may take some minutes for the hardware error rate to stabilize so don't be in too much hurry when making voltage changes.
Yea you can never cause any damage under-volting...youll just see HW errors spike, or the miner just wont startup at all.
The software is actually designed so you can do this live...ie start the miner in custom mode, then slowly increase or decrease the voltage while its mining...you can just lower the voltage and keep checking the dashboard HW errors...as long as you dont see the count go up faster than a few a minute your good.
Thank you whiteogre and jstefanop,
I'll spare some wh and fan noise. As I have expensive energy during the day this change is important.
Jstefanop I am waiting for the update that will allow the configuration change, at certain times of the day, to adapt the speed of the miner to the price of electricity.
Keep up the good work
