I have two Antminer S3 that are both hashing at 440GBs. They both are running at the stock frequency of 218.75 but one if the miners has 20% HW errors. I have read many people are lowering the frequency to 215 or 212.75 to lower power consumption. I was hoping maybe reducing the frequency might help my HW errors. However I cannot find where to lower the frequency. I have done scrypt mining, but this is my first sha256 mining. If someone could help explain to me how to lower the frequency I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks jpchrist, thats exactly what I was looking for. I had read through this entire 200+ page thread and only saw people say they were doing it, but not how. It was pretty easy and I lowered down to 212.5 and the HW errors dropped from +20% down to 8% and I only lost 20GHs. It must be some hardware issue with this miner, as my other one runs at 218.75 and has 2% HW errors. But I can work with 8%, much better than it was before.

Oh side note, the S3 that is mining fine was from www.bitmainantminer.com I saw many posts that they were a scam and to cancel your order, blah blah blah. I figured if they didn't send it I could always dispute it on my credit card. However it arrived as promised and works great.
