I got two miners, one looks like to handle both 237.5 and 250 quite well.
The other one ... not so much...
You did with 4 pcie or two? I start to get a feeling that 4 pcie is NOT an option, but should be a default. |

Anyone get their 7.7% refund yet?
Nope and these miners are not running anywhere near -7.7%.. more like -14% Hopefully there is a FW update soon. Can't OC to 225mhz as well? 225mhz was not very stable ton of HW errors 250mhz is a mixed bag as well, I have one that has low HW errors another with really high #'s. MAX sustained speed @ Miner = 470GH/s @ Pool = 464GH/s Both of the above settings required 4 PCI-e connections to be "stable". GOOD NEWS... 250mhz - 470GH/s - 358W what psu did you use to get that set of numbers? it comes to .76 watts a gh! I have a single S3 powered by the enermax 1000w that I took out of the S2. Using 4 PCI-e connections Kill-a-watt reads 357W   good news. I had one of the enermaxes and the seasonic plats are better for power savings i have some plat 750 seasonics . i am thinking maybe 340 watts for 470gh that would be .72 watts at the plug! Based on these numbers I may be able to run 4 S3's on an Enermax 1500 |

Looks like i got one of my two that handle 250 perfectly running 506gh/s The other one, any OC is doing nothing positive. back to 218.75 ans running fine at 438gh I might have a faulty pci-e cable... asking a replacement (corsair) One of the wire from the psu side connector was pulled off (didn't force the connector at all). There is two wire in the hole, i guess it's a ground. (no stripe on it) I pulled it back but who knows ... |

argh so I got my S3's today, went in to fix all the settings, set up static lan on my normal subnet, disabled wan on bootup, rebooted without testing like an idiot, and now I can't connect to them. The lan interface doesn't seem to be working. I'm pretty sure the cabling/switch is fine, as other stuff is running through them. Anyone know what I can do?

Why didn't you do one at a time, then if you had made a mistake you would at least have the S3 that hadn't been changed? |

There was a way to short the pins on S1 that allowed you to reset it to factory settings. Check out the logic board and see if it has the same pins. |

RESET button ...back to factory defaults...  Do NOT disable WAN...Ethernet interface is called "WAN"... in Chinese...Capisco...  ZiG |

 I am looking to sell one of my S3 that arrived today. I only want to keep one. It is still in its box and can ship out in the next three hours. I am looking for offers above 0.8BTC. You pay shipping.Above is the one i have opened. I will have a video uploaded soon on the device. |
Message me if you have any problems

Got my two S3s today, and I must say I'm very impressed. Well built, quiet, and easy to set up. I was even happier to see these things actually support wireless right out of the box, although no antenna connector has been added to attach an antenna to this.
So, any particular reason why a suitable hole for an RP-SMA connector wasn't drilled and a RP-SMA pigtail attached to the AR9331 board? I added my own RP-SMA pigtail and got Wi-Fi working right out of the box with less than five minutes extra configuration...
Are there plans to add these bits and pieces in a future revision? The pigtails only cost a few cents extra after all!

Probably should put something here.... Maybe an LTC address?

That is extremely peculiar. Why would they not do that? I'm sure there are enough people that decided against buying for this reason out there to justify drilling holes on these boxes and connecting a pigtail. |

I'm planning to drill my cases when I can figure out where my powerdrill went... In the meantime, here is a picture of the inside of the case of the S3. The mainboard is based on the AR9331 and runs a variant of OpenWRT. Very neat and tidy interface, and also why it was so easy to set wifi up!  |

Can you put an image of your control board showing the wifi connection area? Are you able to test whether it can get the signal from an adjacent source without antenna? I need my S3 reaching in a couple of days to be run on wifi for 5 days and need to test whether I need to by an antenna for 5 days use. |

Higher quality is available if needed, but the board itself is just an AR9331 Atheros SoC on a breakout board. It has the writing ThinkPHY2 on it. |
