How can I disable the timeout on the web console for the s3's?

[Biodom]

@Biodom

It is when you go in to your my choice account and go to Change Delivery. You can have them Hold for pickup. So for me who ever did it new they were only 4 Antminers at the local warehouse even before I did.

I don't want to point fingers, but don't you need a password to do this? "friend" or "estrange gilrlfriend" looks likelier than a random UPS guy.
Just saying....

Any news about upgrade S3 ?

i dont think they'll releasing the upgrade option so soon
i think it'll be when their sale isn't going to sold out

I got my S3 batch 4 yesterday and got it online this afternoon. Running for 6 hours now at 440.78 GH/s on Slush's Pool. Wattage at the wall is 357.9. Relatively quite and putting out about as much heat as a Block Erupter Cube. I couldn't find the IP address in my router, so I used a program called ipscan and found it. Set up 3 pools for failover, disabled the beep and Bob's your uncle. I'm using a Corsair 850 with just two plugs at the rear. Easy setup, no x anywhere and a solid performer. Early delivery to boot. Experience is excellent so far. Looks like a good idea to order another.

Most excellent.. Do you live in Shenzhen?  That was quick.

No Problem, and no old Girlfriends to worry about, and for the password if you are on the outside of UPS server network you do need one but if you are within the network you do not. After all how else can they look things up for you and change them without asking for your password when you call them. I did let Bitmain know and hope they can get the police involved. UPS should have video of the pickup area so I hope they can get a copy of that so I can see just who it was.

Hi,

my ants (batch 1) are giving me only a 75% awarded shares on the Eligius pool.

Anyone having the same issue? How to address this?


Thanks,
HR

it has nothing to do with antminers, just bad luck on eligius

For those of us that are wanting to reuse CX-750M's - You can run easily run 3 _blades_ per CX-750m.

Batch 3 running for 24 hours stable with 4 S3's on three cx-750m.  Reading 190watts per blade at the PDU.

Measured at the pool, ambient is 85* F.  

428 @ 42C
441 @ 42C
440 @ 42C
453 @ 43C (oc'd to 225)

Bitmain says "Don’t parallel connected different DC input from different PSU into the same Hashing board."

Do you read that to mean only use one PSU per blade or one PSU per miner?

easy 1 psu per blade.  = good

2 psu on the same blade = poof magic smoke.


 Here is why:


   a blade does  allow pcie power to pass .

Pcie plug-----Blade----PCie plug

   so 2 pcie plugs on one blade fully mix.

 they must be from the same psu


THE controller  does not allow full current of 12 volts 30 amps to pass from blade to blade

BLADE-------Controller -------BLADE
    

So 2 psus are kept apart from each other by the controller.

212.5 seems like the most stable freq for my set. He is negligible, temps are low as well 38C< on both.

how much gh you get on 212.5?
I couldn't make it go above 424, while some people report in mid 430ies.

428 now - we'll see tomorrow if that holds.

Sorry I meant S2

[smilingloki]

hi there, there was a list of really clear instructions put up for the s2 miner to overclock, wondering if someone can help

I'd really like to try and overclock my S3 to 250 and see if i can get 500gh out of it - is there a set of instructions or someone can print out something like this?


Please help


"Step 1 Using Putty  or another program SSH into your Miner
Step 2 Click "YES" on the "Security Alert" that pops up
Step 3 Login with User: root Password: admin
Step 4 Type "cd /config"
Step 5 Type "vi asic-freq.config
Step 6 Hit the "I" key to edit the file
Step 7 Scroll the the bottom and copy this code and click in the SSH window to paste it (I suggest you start with the 212M Settings run it for a few hours make sure your miner is stable then work your way up)
    option 'freq_value'    '5082'  #212M
    option 'chip_freq'     '212.5'
    option 'timeout'       '36'

    #option 'freq_value'    '6206'  #216M
    #option 'chip_freq'     '215.625'
    #option 'timeout'       '37'

    #option 'freq_value'     '5102'  #219M
    #option 'chip_freq'      '218.75'
    #option 'timeout'        '38'

Step 8 be sure to add "#" in front of everything listed on the 196M line
Step 9 Hit "esc" then type ":wq"
Step 10 (IMPORTANT) type "cp asic-freq.config /etc/asic-freq.config"
IF YOU SKIP THIS STEP ALL SETTINGS WILL BE LOST WHEN YOU POWER CYCLE THE MINER
Step 11 Now Login to the web interface of your miner and go to the miner config tab and click "save and apply" this will restart cgminer with the new settings

Based on my testing here is how my miner performed at each speed

212mhz     1083GH     (+56 Watts)(+80GH Speed)(HW Error 0.22%)
216mhz     1098GH     (+71 Watts)(+95GH Speed)(HW Error 0.39%)
219mhz     1114GH     (+90 Watts)(+111GH Speed)(HW Error 0.88%)

Keep in mind your results might vary. Enjoy and happy mining  Smiley"

2 days in.  ants are @ 430.
oc does either nothing or makes it worse
very glad they issued refunds and coupons.  bitmain has made more than enough money off of us.

try the goxed oc guide but as it seems less than one in 10 can handle any oc due to faulty dc-dc

One PSU per blade.  

Parallel input = 2 psus on one blade = dead miner.

My setup is three miners on two of the psu, where the oc'd one has the 3rd psu to itself.

anyone used DHL for shipping method ? are they good ?

Thanks. Thought so too, but I noticed none of my other miners experienced this bad luck.
But I guess it must be that then.

I Prefer DHL and live in New Zealand. They have always been efficient and provide good service. My biggest issue is customs seems to be delaying shipments for me. I now need an importers code, which fortunately was easy to get.
