Looks like batch 5 just sold out.
Batch 1 sold out in hours. Batch 2 also sold out in hours. Batch 3 sold out in less than a day. Batch 4 sold out in about a day, maybe slightly more Batch 5 finally sold out tonight, after being open for what, a couple of weeks? Point being is the market saturated? +1... Batch 6 will be the last ...IMHO... After that selling from stock...48 hours mode ...I hope... Lower price is expected to follow...  ZiG |

I just got back from UPS to send my faulty board back to Bitmain. The guy at the counter was amazed that the label was for Express service, and he said that costs over $1000 to do that! If Bitmain would set up an advance replacement system (with a small BTC deposit for security against receiving the faulty unit), they could save that excessive cost in one direction of the warranty process.
I just sent them an email to that effect. It's a win/win - Bitmain could save a lot of money by only having to ship the replacement part on the expensive service, and use a regular (cheap) service to receive the faulty. The customer benefits by getting the replacement part first and won't have to shut down their mining hardware while waiting for the replacement (at least in cases unlike mine where they at least have a partially operable unit).
BITMAIN - PLEASE CONSIDER THIS! Not only is it pretty much standard practice for a lot of manufacturers, in this case it actually will SAVE YOU A SHIPLOAD OF MONEY. Add to that the side-effect of happy customers, I don't see how you can't implement this!
Can you give me a single example of an electronics manufacturer agreeing to send out a replacement part before they receive the defective part?!?! Certainly not standard practice. Also, companies that ship large amounts negotiate rates with the carriers directly, NO WAY that costs bitmain anything close to $1000! For me HP and DELL sends replacement parts in advance. They even sends new non-refurbished part in advance and takes the faulty parts in return. They never asked me for any security deposit or credit card. If you're doing that through the company you work for, HP (don't know about Dell) does that more than likely because your company has a maintenance contract with HP. For those without maintenance contracts, HP will send the replacement first if they can charge your credit card / your company's credit card, and then upon return of the defective unit they'll credit your charge card with whatever credit amount is stated for return cores. Been there, done that, many many times (with HP). No maintenance contract exists or any Credit card validations. It was only covered under warranty. I got like this many time. Once the courier guy forgot to collect the return from us and left the return slip to us. Later after 2 weeks I got a letter from Dell asking to return the product or pay the product cost. Also got call from Dell to remind me about it. I then returned it the faulty product back to them. Under warranty explains it. Try getting replacement parts from HP outside of the warranty period and without a maintenance contract. They won't be sending you anything without you paying for it first, then they'll reimburse you the credit for the core return value. |

One of my machines came pretty mangled up using DHL. Looks like it was scuffs from the factory as most of the damage looked like rubbing damage which wouldn't happen in shipping.
Just a heads up.
I am debating to send it back or keep it, looks to be hashing 430, while every other batch 5 is at 440+. Meh.
When did you order yours? I asked some else but as of yet have no reply. Where are you based? I just missed B4, so I was one of first in B5. I am in New York now. |

We were also talking about Antminer S3 which was under warranty.  |

ZiG How close do you think it is until Bitmain packages 2 Antminer S3's into one box with a PSU and screen like the S2? I bet that is likely what will be happening shortly for the S4. |

littleshopofhardwarebaltimore and others whining about shipping should just order from Bitmain themselves and not use EBAY. hahaha

I had one of my S1s go belly up this morning. Won't power up. Anyone have any experience with a dead system under warranty with Bitmain? I submitted a ticket in their new support system, so hope it goes well.

LOL @ "launching rockets" I haven't noticed anything on my B1's (July 21 Firmware), but I don't know if I would have noticed. I'll keep an eye on them and my B5's after they arrive tomorrow, and let you know if I see anything. |

Yah I contacted BitMainTech regarding the Fan RPM issue and the tech engineer reported it as normal. They said its caused due to capacitor disturbance. I felt the Fan speeds are higher that the others but not as high as shown. |

Thanks for your response. Didn't want to try OC until I knew fans weren't an issue. |

I like to tell another thing, my 2 PCI-E Power cables to S3 were a little hot.
My S3 hashrate was not stable at the rated 441Ghs but was averaging at 420. I ordered thermal paste.
Before thermal plates were arriving, I tried to plug two additional PCI-E power cables to S3.
The Antminer S3 is running at stock clocks 218.75 and PCI-E power cables are cool now.
The main reason for this post is to report that the miners stabilised at 441. Earlier it was 420.
Two thing I'm pointing out,
1. The miners plugged in continuously for 4 or 5 days and seems like it was running-in and stabilised at-last at 441.
2. Plugging the all four connectors even if you are not overclocking will some way help you.
