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.
Underclocking early without having a solid reason will only lower your earning potential.
Are you sure you calculated your HW error % properly?
Post an image of your Miner Stats page.
I now have it underclocked so I cannot take a screenshot. But it had been running for almost two days. The accepts were 65,000 and the HW was in the 14,000. It has now been running over 2 hours on 212.5 and accepts are 3,774 and HW are 370. So the current HW is at 9%.
The other miner which is still at 218.75 has 71,068 accepts and only 2,049 HW; only 2% HW.
