S3, S3+ and S3++

Very nice. 277W @ the wall for 455GH/S is excellent. You have an a miner that is doing 0.6J/GH quite a bit better than an unmodified S3+ consuming 355W giving 0.78J/GH. It's a pity that the S3++ was not generally available...

You may be able to improve the efficiency further if you can reduce the supply voltage in the same way as you can with the S5. Would be interesting to see how low you can go before it stops hashing? However the chips must already be at about 0.75V so very close to optimum?

Dang wish the S3+ did this I would have been able to keep them a decent amount longer if I had gotten specs like that.  That is for sure worth giving it another +.

Wish they would have sold them to us little guys after hearing how it preforms.

well, if you have someone in china you can get the ++ unit pretty easy actually.
the bitmain office china side, http://shop.bitmain.cn/goods.php?id=44 , sellng S3++ @ RMB 700, of cause, it's always no stock available.

The good unit ++ is pretty good, i have running none stop over a week from now. no problem at all.
