What a mess, I feel terrible for people that lost their money to this company.  Yes, it is lost, getting 600gh at this point is a joke.  It's an expensive but very important lesson we can all learn from.  My guess is BFL has no choice but to scam their customers at this point.  I doubt they have the money left to provide refunds.

not to defend bfl.  as they have not done well by me,but  600gh hashing will earn something maybe 1 coin.
still looks like a big loss.

Nice work! But it looks like too much work Smiley

Do you think http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812200106 would work fine for my purposes?


maybe


to be clear  if you put both molex to the same molex cable = not good


if each molex part attaches to completely different molex cables.  it the psu had 18 gauge molex cable .

if the  adapter wires are 18 gauge  it could work.

I'm browsing around just ordered 10 of the S3's and looking for a enclosure for em anyone got any good ideas ?

wait until you get them.  this will

I'm just price shopping around now haven't seen any that really caught my eye.

I found solid shelf was better as it stopped heat rising from one shelf to the next

wait until you get them.  this will allow for measurements.


 you may decide  5 shelf 2 per shelf with psu in the middle  of each pair is the way to go

Have they arrived?  DO they work as advertised?  What PSU did you use?  

They said they would ship them starting July 10. I will use a Corsair RM 1000. Exactly what i use for my two S1. I should be overclocking them to 504 gh/s. (more if possible. depends on temperature and HW %).

I wanted to buy an EVGA SuperNova G2 1300W but there is only 6 PCI-E, you need 8 for two S3 if you want to overclock them. Otherwise, 4 is enough.

Have you found any overclocking info for the new S3's?



it is 8

2 wires   are double   4 are single

use 2 single wires and a double wire    for each s-3.

  I could go into a long explanation but  it should work.   Since you will pull under 900 watts for the 2 s-3's  


 i have run 1215 watts on these evgas's  running  3 s-1's no issues.

btw if you go to newegg it is on sale

this thread shows various sales on the evga 1300

Guys I dont have a fancy multimeter, would it be possible to just pencil mod the resistors without a multimeter with a #2 pencil?  maybe just a few strokes on each to see what I get? then lower freq to 300 or so?

yeah you could .  nothing cheaper then that.   just don't blame anyone if it burns up.

 I used to do that with my red fury usb sticks worked fine.

remember this gear cost more and uses more power.  but 2 pencil strokes with medium pressure  should work okay.  saves 10-15 bucks on the meter.


edit:

 good you purchased a meter
42428  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: [GUIDE] Undervolt antminer s1 [1.19W/GH at the wall] on: July 02, 2014, 05:22:11 PM
I have a good WI-FI antenna that came with my Computer's wifi card, it came with 2 so could i just use one of them on the antminer?

If I recall no as the connector on the antminer does not fit typical antennas  you need an adapter.   There are some that got wifi to work so it is possible.

 you could start a thread with a title.  ' I need help to set up wi fi for my antminer s-1 '

Ask for advice from some one that got it to work.  Most people needed some kind of adapter or trick to do it.

Thank you, Final noob question, How do i set up WIFI and how strong is the WIFI antenna?


many people skip the wifi they go cat 5 ethernet  cable to this :

http://www.amazon.com/IOGEAR-Universal-Ethernet-Adapter-GWU627/dp/B004UAKCS6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1404310588&sr=8-1&keywords=ethernet+to+wifi+bridge


What's that, i dont get it, I dont have WiFi N.


wifi can be hard to get to work.  I do all wifi workarounds at my location.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833704164&cm_re=tp-link_nano_powerline-_-33-704-164-_-Product  


 if your wifi router has some cat 5/6 ports

  one of  these plugs into the wall and your router.

the other plugs into the wall next to your miner and into your miner.   a wifi work around.   and if you have lots of miners       you pick this up

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833156251&cm_re=8_port_switch-_-33-156-251-_-Product



so  for 1 miner

 wi fi router > nano-powerline > house wire> nano-powerline >  antminer

for lots of miners :

wi fi router > nano-powerline > house wire> nano-powerline >8 port switch> lots of   antminers

42431  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: ANN: BITMAIN has Tested Its 28nm Bitcoin Mining Chip BM1382 on: July 02, 2014, 04:12:26 PM




As per the datasheet values below, S3 can be overclocked to 504Ghs and further to 554Ghs.
The stock clock speed is set in between 225M and 250M and voltage per chip lies in between 0.72Vand 0.75V per chip (366W/S3).
When overclocking to 504Ghs it will be consuming around 390W at 250M Clockspeed.
And when overclocking to 554Ghs the clock speed might be 275M and power consumption around  488Watts.
Further overclocking may not be possible, everything lies in finding the sweet spot frequency.
Take a look at DC-DC converters, they are a lot in nos, do you have any idea? Even this new chip consumes lower voltage than S1.

S3 Datasheet Values
Voltage(V) | Hash Rate(GH/s) | Current(A) | Total power(W) | W/GH
0.72                14.18                 10.40             7.49             0.528
0.75                15.75                 12.24             9.18             0.583
0.80                17.33                 15.20            12.16            0.702
0.85                17.33                 20.00            17.00            0.981



Questions on this chart.   do we come at the .75 volt setting stock or the .80 setting stock.

Seems to me that the real value is the .72 volt setting   at .528 w/gh  so my question is if we can do

 .72 volts and hash 14.18 GH/s   using only 7.49 watts a chip  can we do a little lower?

Would .69 volts  get 13.8 gh/s       9 amps   6.21  watts and  .450 w/gh?

 It would be really nice to find out the low end of these    along with the over clock
42432  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: ANTMINER S3 Discussion and Support Thread. on: July 02, 2014, 03:29:42 PM
yeah it is a stud psu.  has done 3 s-1's overclocked to freq 393 and 405 watts pulled 1215 at the k-watt meter.  for 40 days in a row .. I recently down volted and down clocked my s-1's I am a big believer in this psu.

 six cables separate  pcie  very nice gear.  fan is a bit loud when doing 1215 watts.  but the s-1's were loud so I did not care.

42433  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: 1000W PSU that allows 4 GPUs on: July 02, 2014, 03:03:48 PM
  I suggest this

the evga 1300 ..  I Have 2

they have a 10 year warranty.

the thread below links to a good sale on them.  it shows other sales on it.  from earlier dates.   they have more then you need power wise.

(i think that is true since  I ran 3 antminer s-1's at 1215 watt total 0 issues)

 a lot of pcie cables

So, itīs possible to use molex to PCI-e adapter ?
I'm not a big fan of converting molex to PCIe.  It would be adequate for general GPU/gaming application which doesn't demand high loads 24/7 like an ASIC miner does.  A molex connector only has one +12 wire compared to PCIe which carries three +12V pinouts.


I have a few molex to pcie adapters with  adequate wiring but most are flat out wrong.   plus you need to take into account the quality of the actual cable coming from the psu. 18 guage is rare  … if your psu has 18 gauge and you use two cables it may be okay if you are doing 4 cables into the s-3.

  for me  I am an overkill psu guy with over head to spare and good cables.


 I am more of buy  one these and don't worry anymore.  for 10 years!  long warranty

yes but melting cable danger with a shitty one.    you need one that has 2x molex to 1 pci-e  and you need to use each molex to a separate  psu molex cable.  many psu's have two molex cables with 3 or 4  connectors each.
