What 7.5-8.0 TH/s looks like.
Dissipating ~24,000 BTU.
Most PSU's = EVGA 1300's, powers 3 S3's each with current to spare.
Bitmain Rocks!

nice......
I would have got more if i could somehow dissipate all these btu's:cannot do this at home at least.
My garage is fully occupied (cars) and no room in the backyard to build a shed (no basement either)
These shelves are some kind of standard or you have a link to home depot/amazon, or something else?

Bought the racks @ Menards in Brainerd, MN. They are available online @ Menards.com

What is not pictured are the 8x 20" box fans at the back door (4'x8' door) moving the heat away from the units.

If interested will post image of back door.

$49.97 each

As a footnote, 24K BTU is enough to heat an average sized decently insulated home in Minnesota in Janurary (-30F).
Am planning on moving one or more racks into my house and get paid to heat it this winter.
Kill 2 birds with one stone, so to speak.

And it happened again, sudden continuous beeping which was only fixed by a reboot.... Bitmain or anyone care to jump in and explain these?

Image 1 includes a glimpse of our baby supercomputer (10x SC809T's ~40 TFp/s).

Have tried a variety of supplys and have settled in on the EVGA 1300's.
They are tanks. Ultra dependable. A little pricey. But worth every penny. Good insurance for expensive BTC mining H/W.

Sorry for a question thats probably been asked tons

I have just preordered in most recent batch

For 1 S3, Would a CX500M Corsair PSU work
For 2 S3, Would a CX750M Corsair PSU work or should i stick to a single PSU per miner

Mine are on 500s, one is over-clocked. I would go bigger than 750 for two. Go to at least 850W or bigger if you want to OC. I would stick to two cables per unit or one cable per blade.

Interesting though,  the non-modular cx500s have more robust wires than my cx600m.

I have 2 on an corsair HX750 works just fine.

[taipo]

With the one I have here it hashes away fine for about an hour at 440 GH then the hashrate drops to about 395 to 400 and the errors start to appear

oooooooo oooooooo
oooooooo oooxoooo

I have down clocked it to 212.5 and that seems to have stabilised it.

And it happened again, sudden continuous beeping which was only fixed by a reboot.... Bitmain or anyone care to jump in and explain these?

Try a DSN of 8.8.8.8 if you are not already on it.

should be DNS (noobs: domain name service)

Did you guys prefer DHL or UPS when it came to ordering from bitmaintech?

DHL is the way to go if you are in the USA. My Batch 5 shipped yesterday and its already in Cincinnati OH, and has passed customs I should have it Monday.

Go DHL if you are in the USA!

Any chance you can share your experiences on UPS vs DHL shipping with the antminer s3?
When will they stop accepting the orders for batch 5?

Really batch 5 or batch 4? 5 says it ships on the 7th!
I'm a tad bit confused on how your shipment made it from China to Ohio in one day

Whats your RPM for fans in Batch 4 S3 miners?
Mine is at 4500-5500 RPM.

This isn't a DNS error. The error messages are related to the USB bus, and something dropping and not resetting correctly. Network settings are fine!

Good morning everyone,

I've been following this thread for a few days now.  I do have a couple questions. Today or tomorrow I will be purchasing around 30 antminer s3's B5 from bitmain. My only concern are power supplies. I was thinking of using a bunch of lepa 1600w to power 4 at a time, but I'm not sure if it having so many different rails would matter or not.

I had a rather large gpu farm not to long ago (~100 r9 290s ) so I have the power for it. I have a 400 amp dedicated sub panel for my setup - around 36 20amp circuits as well.

Some of you may know me from reddit (blitzstix) -I made this account before my reddit account- I've recently sold everything. Including my 45 cx750m psus

So my question is- for such a large setup; what power supplies would you guys suggest I use?

(Lepa 1600 is gold rated with peak at 1700w

Just curious, where do you get your power cables?

As a footnote, 24K BTU is enough to heat an average sized decently insulated home in Minnesota in Janurary (-30F).
Am planning on moving one or more racks into my house and get paid to heat it this winter.
Kill 2 birds with one stone, so to speak.

Your idea of average sized and decently insulated must be significantly different than mine.
