Not sure what all the complaining about the shipping is about, Bitmain made it pretty clear back on the 14th with an update and true to their word my B1 order shows being delivered tomorrow and I have a coupon in my account. This is a lot better than several other companies have done in the past. Hello everyone,
When we were doing the first mass production, we found that not all of the S3’s DC/DC module could be stable enough to support the 478GH/s speed. After long time testing, all of the S3 run stably at 441GH/s, which however is 7.7% less than the 478GH/s we have announced.
So we decide the final specification of ANTMINER S3 here:
Hash Rate: 441 GH/s or more Power Consumption: about 340 Watt at the wall when running at 441GH/s Power Efficiency: 0.77 J/GH on wall Power Supply: 12V DC Size: 331 mm x 137 mm x 160 mm Fans: Two 14038 fans mounted on both front and back ends. Operating Temperature: 0 °C to 35 °C Complied with: FCC / CE Network Connection: Ethernet
Many of the customers may be lucky to find that their S3 can be overclocked to 478GH/s.
We apologize for this incident. We offer two options for customers:
1) 10.0% worth of coupon for the B1~B3 customers. This is the default option. (10% based on what you have paid for the B1~B3) 2) 7.7% worth of refund. We will release a function on our official website for application of this option. If you have bought from our resellers, please contact them and provide your Bitcoin address.
Shipping schedule updated:
Batch 1: The shipping will be finished in 14th and 17th. Batch 2: It will be shipping out between 18th and 19th. Batch 3: It will be shipping out between 19th and 22nd.

I received a reply from Bitmain a minute ago regarding their shipping procedures. They said they follow the "first to order, first to ship" method. I am hoping they'll be shipping today.
me too

It is a lot better than other companies for sure. We know that Bitmain will come through. We are still complaining because even though we are B1, our orders haven't been shipped yet. They will probably be shipped today.

I don't buy it. My order was placed early in batch 1 but still hasn't shipped. I suspect that my order won't ship until batch 2 is ready - it's possible that they are simply out of product.

Most were for 1.5btc. I love the transparency of the blockchain (credit to Cevidad for originally posting it in the hashfast thread)

Since the S2 ships in 48 hours, I'm guessing that maybe Bitmain only ships every other day.
And since its now the 17th in Hong Kong, with any luck the rest of batch 1 will ship within the next 17 hours.
I order daily from them and they definitely ship every day except Sunday

Have you ever considered how long it takes to ship out thousands of miners? [/quote]
Yes, probably not too long. Suppose you have 10 people dealing with shipping and you want to ship 1000 miners a day, working 8 hours a day.
That means every person needs to package and ship one miner every five minutes. That doesn't sound very hard. [/quote]
Do you have any idea how big is china population its 1,3 bil people.Anything includes man power can be done cheep and easy.Specially for a job that does not require experience the only experienced must be easy they hire 3000 people for a week or so, do their job and finish.
The only job that requirs skill except the electronics is the logistics adresses etc that in my case for all Bitmain parcels were hand written!!!

Bitmain has 24/7 assembly as long as parts are ready.
What they cannot control (too much) is how ups schedules their pickups and plane flights.

Were you one of the people who ordered and then had their order marked as invalid because the payment took too long? i was and i think it has adjusted my queue position since my order creation time is 2014-06-30 17:37:11.0 but the payment details show 2014-06-30 19:10:49. i suspect this is why some people are delayed in their orders being shipped.

Let's return to a more meaningful discussion. If we are trying to overclock to 478Gh, do we need all four PCIe plugs? Or, since it sounds like they can barely get to 478Gh the whole four plug thing is unnecessary? I have a Roswell 1300 PSU that I think can handle 3 S3s now that they are 340w each or 366w OCed.

I think the general consensus is that because that dc dc thingy (technical term) is under specced for the job for the original planned GH/s, to overclock it at all may damage them and thus render the miner useless. If I'm wrong I apologise for mis interpreting the posts.

I have seen 480 GH, so that should be possible.
What would really be interesting is if somebody could measure the DCDC temperature at full load. We can then see whether it is limitated by temperature or other problems.

In my opinion now the four PCI-E cable plugging sockets are useless. Even if we can overclock by luck, no need to plug additional cables. If the power consumption is true as in the datasheet, we only need to plug additional plug if we go over 504Ghs. That's never a possibility and so we may just close it or desolder it and use for any hobby circuit purpose.
