I've been tuning my L3's recently and I have a few questions I was hoping someone could clear up?
1) Are HW errors, rejected/stale shares, etc factored into the reported average hashrate on the miner's status page? In other words, if I have my miner clocked really fast but it's getting way to many HW errors, will it still report a really high hash rate or will it display an "effective" hash rate that is basically all the work done per unit time excluding HW errors?
hi archoftime, to correct clocking an L3 or others be sure your firmware is able to setup
Frequency AND Voltage on your own, oem firmwares allow often only a frequenzy change. for a good clocking u need both!
Defaults are 384 on Frequency and 13 on Voltage (Blissz Firmware recommended)
Start with setting up your frequency to a higher anmount, i prefere the frequency 425M(HZ) and voltage on default 13.
that boosts 80-120MH/s by rising up 200watt more. Never set frequency's above 444M without additional FAN's or immersion cooling!
Choose a anmount of FREQUENCY and set it up by the default voltage (13).
Let the miner run 11 to 66 minutes and check back the number of HW's. If hw is uprising,
lower the frequency until hw is nearly on the anmount of a normal clocked L3!
If u reach an good Frequency without many HW's, u
can start with lowering the Voltage step by step,
after every step let the miner run again for minimum 11 - 66 minutes and check back the anmount of HW's occuring!
A good point to see if good or not is the NONCE#, it should be under the value of 0.0040%,
this results in 0,000000% on DiffR# wich should never exceed the value 0.00027%!
Keep in mind that a uprising anmount of
HW's directly affect the
nonce#, which directly affects the
DiffR# and this result in way more
rejected,stale and
very stale shares!
But keep attention script algorythm miners, dont like UNDERVOLTING!
There is a risk of losing some Chainboards because of damage, they will never come up again some times after lowering the voltage and get compromissed!Every time you step up next phase of overclocking let run the miner 11 - 66 minutes and check back HW#s anmount and compare the Hashrate MH/s with the hashrate suggested on your mining pool website. because overclocking (special overclocking on frequencys more then 425 and/or undervolting voltage sometimes result in a way lower hashrate then you see in the firmware! in this case everytime the mining pool shown Hashrate is probably the right one! keep an eye open for that otherwise u may waste a lott of energy and get not rewarded for it.
thats for your 1). #
