Thanks for the reply!  I put them both back to normal for now.  The EVGA PSU came with 4 pcie dedicated cables and 2 pcie cables that split into two each.  So 8 total.  I have each miner hooked to a split cable with each branch of the cable going to a different bank, then each miner also has 2 dedicated pcie cables going to individual banks.  So each bank gets one dedicated and one split pcie cable.  If that makes sense.  I know its not ideal, but its all ive got.

Suggestions?

Switching gears,  got an evga 1000W PSU, both antminers up and hashing great.  I went to overclock them, and just went ahead with the max.  One S3 is has perfect ASIC status and good temps, the other one good temps, but one "o" on the asic status bar is an "x".  Just one.  Should I be worried.  Behing overclocked to a frequency of 250, both hash right around 500ghz.

Thanks for the info guys, just got a couple S3's because the owner upgraded.  I think If I were to set them up at the business and let them use that electricity, I should be OK (tax write off).

Now onto the power supply?  Each needs four pci-e psu inputs?  And each consumes 340W?  So I'll need a PSU with 8 PCI-E outputs and be rated for at least 700W?

Does anyone have any recommendations?  Looking for something I can set up and just leave it do its thing.

Also what info can you guys give on pools?

Thanks!!!!

New to bitcoin mining, so go easy.

Just curious if the S3 is still able to mine bitcoin or is it way out of date (slow)?  Is anyone still using it, and if I were to install one, or maybe two, and left them run for a couple years, do you think it would be worth the initial investment of the units plus say a corsair cx750m power supply and energy costs?

Is there a comparison on cost breakdown of each antminer?

Any recommendations?

Thanks!
