Some comments:

1) Can't the beeper ringing be disabled on the configuration page by setting beeper to false?

2) On of my S3 miners has a temp of 0.

3) As a way to increase airflow, I removed the fan grills.



1)  setting it to false lowers your beeps many less but still beeps.  if you set it to false you get 1 beep for every hashing disconnect.  not endless beeps.

2)  does it hash correctly? do fans slow to under 1000 rpm

3) put those grills back fingers are important and these fans  work very well for cooling this gear.



to all I am getting very good results with freq 212.5  if your gear is a lessor piece of gear  try setting it at 212.5 down from stock 218.625
42282  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: ANTMINER S3 Discussion and Support Thread. on: July 19, 2014, 01:37:29 PM
okay some more testing of my pair…   I set the freq to 212.5 on both machines now.

I pulled the  evga 1300 dropped in a seasonic 1000 plat.

very nice results  my meter is 620 or 630 watts.  I don't have a k-watt right now this meter shows by va or volts x amps and is by 10 so the flux is 620 or 630.  it bounces back and forth.

so 630 watts for gear running at 840gh  comes to .75 watts.  my freq 212.5 seems to be very good for my two machines.

 0 hw temps are cool.  anyone that wants to ssh should give 212.5 freq a shot.

we need someone to figure out a pencil mod.  my guess is  212.5 freq /423gh  could drop from 315  watts to 280 watts

I am adding a pair of s-3's  to the doc h team.  seems to be really nice gear so far.

Stock clock is freq 218  gives me 440 gh

I under clocked to freq 212  gives me 426 gh  for 1 machine   watts used with an evga 1300 psu are  640 for the 2 machines with a total gh of around 840
42284  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: ANTMINER S3 Discussion and Support Thread. on: July 19, 2014, 05:00:51 AM
EDIT: Minor annoyance, it would be nice if there was a way to disable the beeping entirely. Even the beep when it turns on. Causes wife-aggro something fierce when it beeps on reconnection to a server. I have disabled the option for beeping in the Miner Configuration menu.

You can. Under Miner Configuration "Beeper ringing". Change it from "true" to "false"


this reduces beeps to one each pool drop/switch.  So 1 is better then 20 non stop.  But in my case 0 would be better.
42285  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: ANTMINER S3 Discussion and Support Thread. on: July 19, 2014, 03:32:25 AM
no problem  it can be psu's.  sometimes a psu can do 1.9 s-1's or s-3's   not 2 of them    so you get 1 x   btw I just downclocked my second s-3  I will screen shot then and leave them over nite.


will run these two overnite.. the 212.5 freq looks pretty good


42286  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: ANTMINER S3 Discussion and Support Thread. on: July 19, 2014, 03:16:34 AM
~410 compared to ~440 on my other 2..so yeah it's suffering.

coincidentally, same machine, but the other blade, temp probes sits at 0..


okay first  switch your power setup around.  maybe just the bad  s-3 and the best psu


 do a gui reboot.  click system. click reboot then reboot via gui.  if not do the ssh and try the downclock,
42287  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: ANTMINER S3 Discussion and Support Thread. on: July 19, 2014, 03:12:03 AM
Seems I've got an asic out. Any suggestions?

oooooooo oooxoooo
oooooooo oooooooo

image won't post, but thats what the asic status is on 1 of my s3's



reboot.  if it does not go away switch around your power from the psus.  if that does not work ssh in and down clock it.  give me 2 minutes I will show you one s-3 at stock and one downclocked

I just did it a few minutes ago  so this is more of a last resort.  the numbers are not firmed up yet I will run as the lower freq to see if it is a big power savings or if it quieter.

42288  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: ANTMINER S3 Discussion and Support Thread. on: July 19, 2014, 02:55:15 AM
so quick numbers my evga 1300 is pulling about 665 watts at the plug to run 2 of these at standard clocks of 218.75 freq.

the fans are running 1800/1500 on the machine that gives me 447gh temps 37/39

the fans are running 1620/1320 on the machine that give me 440gh temps 39/39

room is 78f  or 25.5 c

pretty quiet. not silent

665watt/887gh = .749 watts a hash.  yet to use a plat psu and clock a little lower

I am running both machines at bitsolo.net they give me best share info. at btcguild.com no best share info.

bitsolo has me at number 7 with more then 600gh .  needs time to show correctly.

height = 167 mm

width = 134 mm

length = 340 mm

fans =  120 mm    the 140 mm quote from bitmaintech is a diagonal measurement of the fan grill's hole placement.

resellers beware do not advertise the fans as 140mm if you sell with a cc or paypal a nasty buyer would have a good chance of getting a refund over the fan size.

all in all right now the best gear available bar none.     

Have you attempted any OC at all, yet? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=699064.0


No as this pair is going into my friends office on monday.

 I need quiet.
 I need under low watts.

at freq 218.75  they are not as quiet as the 3 s-1's I had in his office.
at 665 watts     they are 100 watts more then  the 3 s-1's


  so 420 gh at 560 watts and really quiet .  freq 275 and the pencil mod.

 will be:

880 gh at 665 watts and quiet freq 218.75

I think  I may try to run at  freq 212   If I can go to 820gh and 600 watts with fans at 1200 it will be perfect for his office.

okay:

  just under 13 inches long   fan to fan  the max number

 Just about 5 inches wide---------------------- this means the fans are 120mm

Just under 6 inches tall


I will do mm's when I find my mm ruler.

I will k-watt meter the two on my evga 1300 in a bit.


now here is a funny thing look at this screen shot/  the miner at bitsolo shows best shares.  the miner at btcguild does not


42291  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: ANTMINER S3 Discussion and Support Thread. on: July 18, 2014, 09:50:23 PM
the good news is my two units arrived today they run well. hw low fans low . the evga 1300 works great.  temps are great.  I think these are 120mm fans not 140mm.  but I have not measured.


okay fast question How do I get the gui to show my best share?  best share is zero/blank>



42292  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: ANTMINER S3 Discussion and Support Thread. on: July 18, 2014, 05:24:46 PM

when did the payment clear?
42293  Bitcoin / Group buys / Re: [Closed]R17x: Black Arrow Prospero X-3 <DZMC Exclusive> $130 / 40GHS on: July 18, 2014, 03:11:05 PM
I don't know why it had to be an all or nothing solution, surely we could have split based on who wanted boards and who wanted to stay with R17 (subject to only splitting whole X3's), all it needed was a vote! or was that just too much effort? This group has been characterised by a complete lack of democracy and transparency.

Either I get yelled at for not asking enough options, or for taking too long to make the decisions. You cant have both in this world, if I waited to take a vote from every person and split it accordingly, we would be looking at mid-August then.

so mid august is 2 jumps.  well we are looking at a 7% on the 26th   of july and  for aug 15th a ? jump say 10 percent.  so  a diff of 22000 vs the current 17336  is pretty certain.  and do nothing low number is 38th for the 765 shares.

that comes to about 6 btc a week.    say aug 14 to aug 21 then a diff jump say 10 percent more to 25000 we then earn 5.28 btc for a week maybe another 5.28 btc then another jump.

we are up to sept 4 or 5 and we earned back 16.5btc  on the 38th not counting power  a th is 1000 watts 38 = 38k watts an hour 21 days or 1532 usd   if a recall you pay 8 cents a kwatt.

so the 16.5btc earned drops by  2.5 minimum for the power  total of 14btc to be split over 765 shares or  .0183 btc a share by sept 6th or so.  if all goes right 5x shares is .091 by sept   that is 54 bucks

 so My shares are 630 usd  so if we can mine 10 weeks and jumps are low I am ⅓ back at best.   if I allow the ba gear and don't upgrade.

 If I up grade what is my cost for 5 shares?  100, 50, 150?   anything more the 50 bucks or 10 bucks a share would be nuts.   since at best I go from maybe .2 btc return to .4 btc returned .  

The number above are rough but close and if anything high on the btc returned.

now if I was told with an escrow backed guaranty the new gear gets  .7 watts not 1 watt or .9 watts.  I will toss money at it.  and not much money 10 maybe 11 dollars a share.  which has to be escrow backed.

just does not pay off to get gear at 1 watt or .9 watts.
You know those boards can be du-tuned down to 0.5 watt/GH?

yes I do.  so if we upgrade and mine at about 1 watt then switch to .5 watts we last longer.

But A)  I have 5 shares 10 chips.

B)  what is the per share upgrade price ?  10 usd a share ? 12 usd a share? 8 usd a share?  

c) what assurances do I get that this 10 usd a share does not go poof?  so far none?

 if it is 10 bucks a share  it is 10 x 765 = 7650   let bob escrow it.

 I rather pay 11 a share with escrow bond then 10 with no bond.

 D) string the ifs:
 1) pay 11 a share  not 10  bonded
 2) the gear gets built and hashes by aug 15
3) it does as advertised at 0.9-1.0 a gh
4) we down clock to .5-.6 later
5) we still lose money unless coins go up.

If it is ten bucks a share more (plus some of the chips) for this to be done it is only  7650. for about 100,000 on the hook


lets say it all happens and we end up with  100gh a share not 50 gh.  and the share costs us 130 +10 = 140

lets say it runs on the 15 of aug.    at 10% diff run to oct 13 we get back 60 bucks out of 140

  run to dec  5 we get back 90 bucks out of 140 . down clock on the 5th of dec  it earns about 20 more.

so we get back 110 .  if all of the above happens with a great upgrade.

hey as long as most understand this is going to lose money either way .

 I would go for the upgrade  at 10 a share but buy a escrow bond at 10%.

 So if the upgrade fails I don't lose the 10 a share extra.

(assuming you want the 10 bucks a share to do this upgrade)  Someone would buy the bond. plenty of betters out there.

For my own reference: 2845.
And yes, I think Stunna should not pay the ones that have failed to fill in the profile link properly. If they can't even read the instructions, they don't deserve to get paid.

It was not too many of us.   Frankly I got it right last month  I am not sure what I did wrong this month. I realize for some this could be a challenge to fill in correctly.  But the reality is the form last month had issues.  As it still has issues this month.

This month's form has a space for member's name  and a link to members profile.  It could have been done a bit differently.


 Heck I would argue the issue is the profile button on the website is wrong.  If I push it I should get my profile and my number/id. Just as if I was not signed in. Basically for security reasons.

 The programmer was a bit lazy and used a shortcut  for it to work when you are signed into you account.

press the profile link and you get the signed in profile.  since the code recognized your name when you are signed in  it could have popped up your profile with the same exact access as if you are not signed in.  showing your code number.   it then could say  you can not change or access without putting in your password. 

by that shortcut it  causes the confusion here.  it is also a little less secure since if you are signed into your account and walk away for a minute and someone presses profile  they get full access.

I screwed my claim up  may multiple claims and still did not get it right.  hopefully it is correct this time.

Anyone get their 7.7% refund yet?

Nope and these miners are not running anywhere near -7.7%..  more like -14%

Hopefully there is a FW update soon.

Can't OC to 225mhz as well?

225mhz was not very stable ton of HW errors

250mhz is a mixed bag as well, I have one that has low HW errors another with really high #'s. MAX sustained speed @ Miner = 470GH/s @ Pool = 464GH/s

Both of the above settings required 4 PCI-e connections to be "stable".

GOOD NEWS...  250mhz - 470GH/s - 358W


what psu did you use to get that set of numbers? it comes to .76 watts a gh!

I have a single S3 powered by the enermax 1000w that I took out of the S2. Using 4 PCI-e connections Kill-a-watt reads 357W







good news. I had one of the enermaxes and the seasonic plats are better for power savings

 i have some plat 750 seasonics .  i am thinking maybe 340 watts for 470gh  that would be  .72 watts at the plug!

please try to underclock to 215.625

and to 206.25






the above codes were from my hand calculations, GH speeds added. 215.625 gives me 1100Gh and less than 1.1% error rate



https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=589429.msg6485048#msg6485048

so 206.25

and 215.625   were both developed by klondike_bar

        option 'freq_value'    '6206'  #215.625M
        option 'chip_freq'     '215.625'        
        option 'timeout'       '18'   maybe 17

        #option 'freq_value'    '5002'  #206.25M  
        #option 'chip_freq'     '206.25'          
        #option 'timeout'       '19'  maybe 20


these 2 can be tested


That is a NEGATIVE on both clocks, chips would not run.

thanks for trying much appreciated

When you setup the fixed address, did you do it at your router by mac address, or on the S3?

EDIT: Never mind... I re-read what you wrote.  Since you included the comment about setting up the DHCP server, you obviously didn't just put a static IP in the S3.  Duh... sorry about the stupid question back at you.

Yes by MAC @ your router..

Well after 5 hours of testing all I have to say is BLAH!!  Overclocking even with 4 PCI-e connections does little.

218.75 Clock:

miner 1 / 444.95 @ Miner / 463.36 @ Pool
miner 2 / 427.78 @ Miner / 432.18 @ Pool
miner 3 / 443.52 @ Miner / 454.49 @ Pool
miner 4 / 410.05 @ Miner / 410.58 @ Pool  --- Indicates 1 chip as " - "
miner 5 / 427.41 @ Miner / 413.85 @ Pool

250 Clock:

miner 6 / 464.32 @ Miner / 479.65 @ Pool  --- Indicates 1 chip as " x "
miner 7 / 450.27 @ Miner / 417.84 @ Pool

will continue to mess with timeouts to see if anything works as for now not getting a stable 441 GH/s, but on a few. ;(

Hope B2 is better!

Question about PSU:
Bought a cheaper 900w PSU by FSP Power with just 4 PCI-E connectors. (6+2 type connectors)
Do you guys think this type of PSU would be sufficient to run the 2 devices smoothly or is it more reasonable to throw it out the window and spend another $300 to get a Corsair AX1200i?

the evga `1300'   will do the trick

use code shopowner   10% off for later      195 usd


 it will do the 2 no problems most likely it should run 3
