Yer that beeping is really really annoying. Is everyone else having the issue?
Im also having this issue. Beeping set to False but its still randomly does one beep every now and then. Using a Lan connection, not wifi, incase anyone is wondering. It appears to be hashing away perfectly fine. So I cant work out why it does this random beep. The manual suggests it beeps when it encounters an error.. but doesnt say what that error is. I know its not the same beeps as the beeps you get when not connected to a network. Bumping this topic. I've found no fix for the beeping yet. My wife is on the warpath over it. Without the occasional beeps, the S3 would be significantly quieter than the S1 and much quieter than the S2. Has anyone found the physical speaker/beeper yet in case metal surgery is needed? I haven't opened the cases at all - just put them to work out of the box (nice gear, Bitmain). As a side note, the beeping feature must have driven them crazy in their ant farm - looking around the room full of racks - which one just beeped?

Probably a daft question but I won't need CG Miner will I?
Cgminer is already on it, behind the scenes. Thought as much thanks, I have looking into which pool to mine on, it's between p2pool or Btc guild any thoughts?

Why don't you turn the S3 off, take the lid off and see if you have loads of paste everywhere. If you do, clean it all off (being careful) and see if that helps?

Does anyone know what I should put in the "use custom DNS server" box?
Should I leave it blank?
A friend of mine, ChuckBuck would tell you to put 8.8.8.8 but I don't think it really matters, you can use the usual, 192,168.1.1 if you want. I like the 8's because it's an alternative backup plan that works. -- That said, I got confirmation from UPS today so I should get it by next weekend, which is what I was expecting from day 1 anyways. Anyone from Canada got their S3 orders already who know what the import cost per unit is? I know we're not on laws like UK but is it still considered as a "Computer Game Gateway" like the S1 was? I don't know anything about VAT laws and such but here in Canada, we only have a 10% sales tax at the border. Thanks.

I think my wife would recommend a boiling oil bath for it, but maybe I'll insert an on/off switch. That seems like a very big speaker for the application.

I don't know if it is what you want for disabling but there is "Beeper Ringing" option on the Miner Configuration menu window. Has anyone found the physical speaker/beeper yet in case metal surgery is needed? I haven't opened the cases at all - just put them to work out of the box (nice gear, Bitmain).

If its that much annoying just put a tape over the hole of the buzzer. I think Bitmain will release a new firmware as a fix for this issue. I have no way to check myself, my miners took a wrong plane and gone to Indonesia. If I'm lucky and no earthquake in Indonesia, I will get it soon.

Already set mine to False and they still beep on occasion, I think it's something that should be fixed in software rather than butchering the internals.

First thing I tried. No detectable effect. This thread is very long, but the unsuppressable-beeper issue keeps coming up every few pages. Nobody seems to have a definitive fix yet.

Got both my S3's from batch 1 yesterday. They both averaged around 425GHs, but I had them both hooked up with just 2 PCI-E connectors on each on 1 850 watt power supply. Figured maybe they wanted more juice so have them both on their own power supplies with 4 PCI-E a piece now and it's only been an hour or so, but they look to be hovering around the same level. This seems to be a common theme.
Boy, I have a lot of respect of bitmain and they are so loved in the BTC community, but they really seem to have dropped the ball on the S3 launch. Batch 1 orders not shipping for a week and units consistently coming in a good 10% under the stated 478GHs.

No probs, I with your wife about going crazy lol. I didnt get much sleep with a random beep going off. Its like torture. Should be two through hole legs on the other side of board to desolder. But maybe the tape over the hole on top will solve it as suggested. I did notice the nobeep option is passed to cgminer, but no idea what cgminer does with that option.

a drop of suprlue on the opening of the buzzer should do the trick

Got the email that my first 2 B2 orders shipped. Order Date: 2014-07-02 06:32:18 (paid for within minutes). Order on website listed as "shipped". Opted for the refund, that is still listed as "Init".
Right on schedule.
Orders of magnitude better than Butt F*&^%$g Laboratory (BFL).
Right ON Bitmain!
