S1 Upgrade Kit allows global loyal customers who own S1 to spend the cheapest cost to achieve the best performance: Used S1 will be upgraded to 453 GH/s while consumes only 355 Watt power at the wall.

The time of deployment is a significant factor in the global mining market. The design for heat sink of S1 is customized but compatible with the hashing board of S3. Hence we can finalize the S1 upgrade solution by a surprising speed, to maximize the mining life time for used S1 for each end-customer.

Here customers will get a “yes” for the question that can we recycle the used stuffs from used S1: control board, heat sink, fan, holder… Remove and Replace two units of hash boards and one unit of adapter board only.

S1 Upgrade Kit includes:
1.   2 units of Hash boards which will be mounted with mini customized heat sink
2.   1 unit of adapter board
3.   1 unit of control board holder
4.   4 units of Plastic brackets, 2 units of 2x10 pin cables, 4 screws, 4 spring screws, some thermal paste

Specifications:
Hash Rate: 453 GH/s±5% with great OC potential
Power Consumption: 355 Watt at the wall
Power Efficiency: 0.78 J/GH on wall
Power consumption: This figure depends on the PSU efficiency, ambient temperature and the accuracy of the power meters.

Notes:
1)   S1 Upgrade Kit is designed for customers who own S1. Please be careful to place an order before you are sure you have or will have S1 in hands.

Nice. What's the PSU and hashrate?

Paypal Fraud is not to be taken lightly Elaramus. Especially from a "Full Member". We have shipped out your item, DHL shipping agents can take up to 2 days to issue tracking numbers. I believe you are upset because a day after you ordered another competitor lowered pricing. I am not affiliated with that competitor therefore I cannot refund you the difference. I would have no problem refunding your order, but the package is in transit to you. Filing a dispute with Paypal can unfortunately not make DHL give me a tracking number any faster. Sellers beware.
