Re: Is it possible to undervolt the Antminer S2?

Well as you've said the S2 is already undervolted by design. It uses the same chips as the S1.

You could probably still get some power savings but it would be tedious to modify all of the DC-DC
converter voltage set resistors for all of the boards. Each board has multiple converters and each
one needs the voltage set resistor values changed.

I thought they were so that confirms it. Thanks for the reply, i am just looking at trying to increase mining speed without paying a fortune for miners if i can get something else and improve it.

Cheers  Grin

Hi all, i have seen some good success storys for undevolting the S1.

Has anyone managed to undervolt the S2 or is it possible? Or is it not possible since out of the factory they were already undervolted?

Any information would be good.

Thanks

0,73 shipping costs to my country for two S4s? I like your products but this is insane. +20% customs duties.... better byu some BTC and wait.



You in the UK? i got a quote earlier for one at .88 i wonder if 2 is the same price, means better getting together with someone else and ordering together so save on postage if thats the case.

Price is better at 1250 if you could still use coupon ........ But since you can't then I will still pass Sad btc is burning a hole in my pocket.
With shipping (at least to the US) we're looking at 3.18 BTC, which still equals a negative ROI unless difficulty breaks it's trend. 

Yeah but if you could of slapped on an extra $200 off then it would make it a better deal! still just a tad over 4 btc for me to the UK then plus VAT

WOW B1 is sold out.  I'm surprised people are actually paying that much for 2Th.  Oh wait... no I'm not.  Plenty of retarded people out there in crypto land.

Seeing as people paid 1.36 btc @ $600 btc price for 2 antminer s3's......

Why would they not pay less for more hashrate and lower power requirement?

Been holding off on batch 10 for ages though havent they? maybe since they are selling them through hashnest instead at 0.60BTC to have one on hashnest, why sell them when they got people renting them for the same price they were selling them for, when they still own it at the end and can do as cointerra, mine with it then flog them out of the DC at a later date.

S4'B1 is limited in quantity, as it is the first mass production after the development stage.

B2 will be available when our sales team get solid confirmation from our production team, and the quantity will be much better. Thanks.

Any news on whether your going to reduce price? and when is the S3 coming back for sale and what is the intended offer?

While debating religion, it appears S4-B1 has SOLD OUT!

Do you believe this to be a marketing ploy, putting up S4-B2 or are they actually selling these to crazy people?

Hopefully they will pi*s of all the people who did buy them by selling the batch 2 for $800 including shipping ><

Listing batch 2 is just a sales tatic to make people panic that batch 1 is selling out and to order them ASAP to ensure you get them straight away. Clever bitmain. Clever

Bitmain

When is the s3 coming back? Really disappointed with S4 price sold a load of gear since I needed a bit of cash and some coin so I could get these and the price is just shocking, are you planning on doing the same to the s3 since that now shows a postage weight?

Everyone keeps blaming the price of BTC end of the day the listing is in USD meaning the BTC price will vary on the US dollar exchange rate for BTC.

So enough crap,get it on sale.

I was hoping more for an S4 tho.

I was too, if it was going to be like an upgraded S2 but im sure if you give it another 2 / 3 months they will release something along those lines.

I do abit of mining for myself and also contract out so script i wanted to get into as well but the returns seem crap on some of the current 80MHS rigs.


Also depends if LTC ever becomes as popular as BTC

yes, it is a LTC miner, as it already has speed in MH/S if you look carefully

Keen eye to detail there, well spotted.

Well i was thinking about getting some script miners as well as SHA so maybe instead of buying another 3 S3 i will order these.

Hopefully they will release spec soon.
