I bought a used S7 that I can only get hashing no more than 3TH/s. Quite frustrating. I tried overclocking to 750mhz, but it dies after about an hour overclocked. All the chips display fine, no X's. It came with an HP PSU running at 800W. Any thoughts appreciated.

3TH sounds like only two boards are running.
Which is about enough to max out an 800W PSU.
Got any more info?

Yeah, with the 800 PSU you can't run more than two boards. My former S7 used up to 1400 watt. Check if all 3 boards are connected properly and the diods are on. If one isn't bright red there u have the faulty board. If one board is not connect you can try disconnecting one board and then connecting the formerly not connected board to see if it's still working. If it is working you have to buy another PSU and then u can connect all 3 boards and run it at full capacity. If not, u have a 3 TH miner  |

With the requisite technical knowhow you could also undervolt and underclock it to run more efficiently below 1000W. Still wouldn't get full hashrate out of it, but around 3.6TH should be possible from an 800W PSU.

To my surprise, it only has two boards! It's labeled as an S7, but I guess I bought a 3TH miner. Ugh |

Does it have room for 3 boards, or is it perhaps an S7-LN?

It looks like a 3rd board is missing in the middle. It was suppose to be an LN but it screams (loud!) like a standard S7. |

If it screams and the case is built to have a second board in the middle, you got lied to. It's definitely not an S7-LN. The LN has channels for only two boards and the whole inside is filled with heatsinks, no big gap in the middle. The LN also stocks at 600MHz for 2.7TH

Thanks for the insight. Lesson learned! |
