Howdy, I've got a group of S3s that are now refusing the mine due to the temperature (I believe).

The temperature is -20 C to -25 C in the room where the miners are located. They've been operating fine when the temperature was a little higher (-15 C). The temperature sensor on the units is reporting a temperature of 255 and 252. The fans are running full out because clearly it thinks the temperature is through the roof, even though it's not. It's only hashing right now at around at a mind-numbingly slow speed of .46GH instead of the normal 300GH+.

Does anyone else have experience running miners in very low temperatures. If it's simply not possible, that's fine, I just need to know and I can move them to an alternate location. I like them where they are because I have cheap electricity there $0.06 and it's nice and clean and away from other equipment so fan noise isn't a big deal.

I tried updating one S3 to the latest firmware, but now I can't load the "minter status" page to see what temperatures and speeds its reporting, as I read in the release notes that one of the latest firmware releases addressed an issue with negative temperatures.

Thanks for any suggestions.
