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

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

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
42466  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.

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.

Thanks Searing!

I am also preparing some kiosk with huge industrial fans for good ventilation.

The bad thing is that we already have 37C temperature here. August is our hottest month.

I wonder if I can maintain low temps at a small kiosk with dissipated heat of +25kW.

Let's wait and see.





25 k-watts and 60th not bad.   good luck keeping it cool!   I get a little over  85,000 btu's

what is your power cost a k-watt?

can you get gear like this below?

That is up to the manufacturers. We work on small margins and pricing is usually determined by the manufacturer. Smiley.

Yes but you could compensate your customers during the following situation to keep them from feeling 'ripped off':

1. Customer orders $2175 miner + shipping on 6/29
2. Next day - 6/30 no shipping status "Awaiting Fulfillment"
3. Following day - 7/1 price drop of $175.00 announced and posted on site
4. 7/1 several hours after price drop announced, tracking information received.

Doesn't really make me want to come back ZOOMhash for more, despite being a "ZOOM Founder"

Nor have I seen any way to use "Reward Points"

And now most likely due the 4th of July holiday, I won't see this purchase until the week of 7 July

Totally satisfied Michael -- NOT!!

If I'd have received tracking information prior to the price drop, my perspective would be different.

Referencing Order #6439


WOW!

I am impressed!

Zoomhash made this right, and refunded the difference in my order... Honestly, I couldn't ask for more.

I've ordered from them previously and never had any complaints on follow through. So I expect the remainder to go smoothly.

Aside from the delay in shipping I can expect from the 4th of July, I'm going to chalk this one up as an excellent deal. I already have tracking data from the order, but it looks like I probably won't receive my unit until the following week because of the holiday.

Thank you Zoomhash! You could have easily gone the route other resellers have and said, "Tough Luck" but you didn't, and I will certainly keep that fact in mind the next time I'm looking to make a purchase.

Sincerely,
elaramus



 well it was he nice he did it for your  order number 6439.  my order number 6450  was not done.

 it would need to be adjusted from 890 to 829 for 2 plus shipping  about 60 bucks. oh and ltc dropped just a bit more last nite. from $7.90 to $7.50 today.

well I feel you I ordered number  6450 .

  I paid pretty low but not 399.

I purchased 10 of these blades.  And about 30 five  chip units  (I have spent over 10k at zoomhash )

 Now the ltc price crashes and  I am not looking to buy any more I have 8 on hand and 2 on the way and ltc is at 7 bucks and change. 

So I have to do what  beg here for a break on the last purchase?

It would be nice to get  something extra.

Hi ALL!

I am new to the forum.

I have a wood drying kiln room that I pay large amounts of electricity to generate heat to help dry the wood.

I want to change this practice by installing a bitcoin server room right next to it and piping the heat into my kiln.

I have a 11 feet long by 7 feet wide by 6 feet tall room to use.  Can someone please link me to what will fit in this space and how many? Smiley  Are there any threads on what the most recent machines are?  And how fast of internet connection do I need? I only have a cellular data 3G internet connection on the farm.

Thanks,
tb

   Feel free to  send me a pm for free advice.



First question is how much power are you using to dry your wood?

1000 watts an hour?   1 kwatt an hour is 15 cents x 24 = $3.60 usd a day  or about 108 a month.

Do you use that much power?

Or do you use 500 watts or 1500 watts?

I need to know how much power you are spending to tell you what to buy.

I set up 3 s-1's  undervolted and under clocked  they burn 560 watts and hash at   420gh.

My best guess is you will want s-1's for your task.  

3  =    560   watts
6  =  1120    "
9  =  1680    "
12 = 2240    "
15 = 2800   "

A simple 16 port switch and these are easy to setup.

A            plywood board with  up to 5 across and the psu
a second  plywood board on top  with up to 5 more

a third plywood board  with 5 more.

many s-1 are available as the s-3 upgrade has come out.

a 16 port switch is under 100 bucks
