Sorry if this was already asked, I just couldn't find it anywhere.  But here's my question:  Are you able to clock the Antminer S1 at a frequency that isn't something like  350, 375, 400, etc.  Something in-between those numbers.  I recently received an Antminer S1 and had it clocked to 375 because my PSU doesn't have enough watts on the 12 volt rail to go to 400.  I want to get the most out of my miner before it becomes non-profitable though, so can I clock it to something like 380 or 390?  I think I remember someone doing 389.9 because it ran better than 400, not too sure.  Thanks and sorry if this is a stupid question, I'm new to Antminers a bit.

Here you go:

Code:
        option 'freq_value'    '5f05'  #393.75M
        option 'chip_freq'     '393.75'
        option 'timeout'       '36'

        #option 'freq_value'    '5e85'  #387.5M
        #option 'chip_freq'     '387.5'
        #option 'timeout'       '37'

I have a question regarding the  '5f05'  What is this value used for as mine is set at 4f81 and clock #400M time out 35 and chip freq 400

The 5f05 is 393MHz chip frequency and somebody calculated that in a normal setting it is the most efficent frequency as HW errors are under 0.1% ... but it all depends on your ambient and how well you have ventilated the device...
