They are now giving out coupons? It's probably the 10% coupon from Batch 1 for the reduced specifications.

They are now giving out coupons? No, these are refund coupons of 10%. S3 Batches 1, 2, 3 was rated at 478Ghs but it only hashed at 441Ghs. A batch of DC-DC convertor couldn't handle the higher hash rate. So, bitmaintech refunded 7.7% of the order value of S3. They also given a default option to get two 0.75B discount coupon (10%) instead of 7.7% refund. Those are these coupons.

Bitmain are in top gear today.
It seems like they've been crunching hard on shipping out Batches 1 through 3, and are finally coming up for air. Nice problems to have, and understandable. Onto Batch 4 and beyond...

Has anyone come up with a cheap water cooling solution for the S3? I already have a nice waterloop built that i'd like to use with a 34" radiator outside. Hopefully I don't have to spend an arm+leg on water blocks...
what do you want water cooling for? you can't over clock most of them. the stock fans keep the gear pretty cool. if you set freq to 212.5 it is cooler and pretty quiet . not whisper quiet but decent. Not sure what your need for a water block cooler is based on. for all I know you may have a really good reason. I have an existing waterloop in my server closet and I'm trying to minimize heat inside. I'd also like to see how much OC I could get with water cooling.

Has anyone successfully used the support/message system on bitmain's site? I submitted a request and every time I login it shows an '*' next to received messages, as if I have a message, but there are no messages showing up. The '*' may just be a weird bug on the site and I just haven't gotten a response yet....

Maybe of them don't preform well. If you can get it to cool well I would think you will get an oc to freq 250 and 504gh

i also get the * beside received messages, and i have not sent a message. its a bug with the site. you arent missing a message back or anything, chances are they are just real busy today with reopening sales and issuing refunds.

There is a video on YouTube of a guy in the Far East, making and testing a waterblock on an S1, but I don't know if he ever got enough interest to take the project to production.
