So were they just lazy today and decided not to ship any?

I got notification that mine have shipped today ... with delivery by UPS on Friday (In the UK).

Yours was shipped yesterday. They sent the notifications today for that. There is a one-day delay on the notifications.

Yesterday by this time, the ones that had their S3 shipped were able to see their shipments on UPS's website. I personally cannot.

That just further shows that it was shipped yesterday. Yesterday 8.32pm was when it was picked up by UPS.

Juan,
Are you populating 2 or 4 PCIe with that setup?

Will there be another batch of S3's? Or better to wait for S4?

[DevonMiner]

I would have thought so ... the S3 is a direct S1 replacement ... and as such they will sell thousands over the coming months. The S4 will be a level above ... in the TH/s.

[sjc1490]

Will there be another batch of S3's? Or better to wait for S4?

I am guessing there will be many more S3's as the first 3 batches sold out so quickly. Better to wait, I have heard pro and cons on both sides so that is something you will have to answer yourself. I personally bought one of the last S2's (at a coupon price) and 2 S3's. but that is me.

[maxwellga]

Since I have not yet seen any instruction book for the S3, like the S1 and S2 have, does anybody know if it makes any difference which jack to plug in to on each blade for the S3, if not overclocking? I would guess it doesn't, and they are in parallel to accommodate higher current draw if o/c. Also, if someone has received ans setup one, what is the default IP as received?

Thanks.

This is just a guess, but the two front plugs. Perhaps there is 1 board per side? I would not plug 2 on one side in other words. My 2 cents. I bought 2 and trying to get another 2 but wont let me put in my cart. I guess sold out of S3...

Batch 4 is on hold. they have shit loads to ship.
Im waiting as well. Once they open their door and windows for us i will buy 6.
UPS charges are high in UK but acceptable.

Been sold out of batch 3 for a while now .

Definitely do NOT plug both into 1 side and none on the other... or you'll only be powering 1 board.  The design is virtually the same as the S1, so at least 1 plug per board.

NOISE LEVEL

It is so much quiet than S1 and you don't notice too much if you were used to the S1 noise.  But Im sure when you fill up your basement with many of these, noise will be there.  The below, instead of just typing what the Decibel Meter read out is, I took the screen shot at right next to each side of the Fan and 1 meter away from each location.  The room is not completely quiet place as I have other gear running in the different room and people walking around but this is what the readout was.
