ANTMINER S3+ Discussion and Support Thread

[iglasses]

Hmmmm.....First S3 is up but what I am seeing is strange.  I have tried two different pools and I get connected but the Best Share tab stays at zero.  I know I am submitting shares because Guild shows me connected at 430Ghs and my share count is going up i the shift section.  Anyone else see this on their S3?

Ethan I see yours isn't reporting Best Share either.  Maybe this was discussed and I missed it.

Look at the average, not the 5s to see a better gauge of your speed.  That 5s one will fluctuate all over.  You're at ~443 stable.

Ordered 2014-06-30 18:31:37 (Order ID 00120140630183135679bRx0ScBq06C1 ) and still status "unshipped" :-(

[googoofish]

B1 orders:

2014-06-30 19:04:41.0
2014-06-30 20:27:38.0

Still no ship

Mine is close to you as well and still no shipping label (2014-06-30 19:29:16 ) and it's past 17th in China .

I have a feeling that late B1 orders going to be ripped off because by the time you get in your hand it would have been the same as if you had ordered early B2 with lower price. Didn't expect BITMAIN screw their customers like this.  I don't see any difference between late B1 shipping date and an early B2 order with lowered price as both would be in your hand around the same time with at the very most 1 day difference    

yeah that totally sucks! I didnt think of that but it makes sense... maybe they will take a break after B1 is done and wait a few days to ship B2

Google say....Time in Shenzhen, Guangdong, China 00:45

Still no Ship of my B1 order 2014-06-30 17:55

With folks unwrapping theirs and hashing, i'm starting to think B1 was actually B1,2 & 3 .. Batch 2 will be B4,5 & 6.
No fair! Late B1 buyers have been bumped

443 with no hardware errors. Only 18mins though. Anyone see what the /etc/config/asic-freq values are? Also, anyone able to verify what these are pulling from the wall?

[iglasses]

I am pulling 354W according to my APC 1500.
This is with a Thermaltake 850.
And the PCI-e cable is quite a bit warmer than I wold like.

[iglasses]

447 but it's only been up for 20 minutes.  I think it's going to be right around 450 on this one. 
Moving my way through the other five now.

[CryptoCrane]

I received all 40 S3s a few hours ago, but it looks like I miscounted my orders and have 1 remaining AntMiner S3 for sale  . I'm heading to the UPS store to ship everything in about an hour, so if anyone wants to purchase the last one - It's for sale on Amazon or I can accept 0.9BTC directly. Shipping to US only (free). PM me if interested.



Sold! Thanks everyone!

[HerbPean]

15 min in and i have only 420 and 415 but it's going up...
`
I will try to OC them to 225 later.

[googlemaster1]

Wow, I am getting close to original advertised hashrates... 465

[mrpark]

and overclocking rate googlemaster1 ?

[acidmilk]

Batch 1 still unshipped paid  2014-07-01 00:36:56 and others have allready received.  I feel like I got the short end of the stick here and should have waited and payed less for batch 2 as it feels they will get the same time as me. Hope im wrong. Cant qq to much since I was a BFL customer during jalepano preorder.

[jpchrist]

Anyone know a good source for overclocking instructions for the S3?

[Tips4TaT]

Is Batch 3 sold out?

[iglasses]

Guys please use extreme caution when you start OC'ing these babies.  Bitmain all but said it cannot be done and I am three for three so far on the PCIE cables running pretty warm.  The units themselves are all around 38-40 but the cables are definitely running hotter than the same setups did with S1's.
I will not be OC'ing these!

My PSU's are a mix of Corsair 750's & Thermaltake 850's.  All cables are in good condition.

What is everyone else seeing?

35 min in => 428 gh/s and- 432 gh/s, i guess i had a bad start ... closing to the specs

use the same guide as in S1 except the file name is "asic-freq" and not "asic-freq.config".

[googlemaster1]

Guys.... can I just say.... I mean can I just say that THESE THINGS ARE FUCKING SILENT.  OMG I LOVE IT!  YESSSS
