ANTMINER S3+ Discussion and Support Thread

[pcfli]

if anyone want to buy s3 quickly, you can buy hosted s3 in my farm and the price is 479$(PSU included ) and switch to your pool within 12 hours, if i was awake, i will give them to you usually within half an hour maybe it is not good to advertise my own website on BM threads, so if you have interest, contact me via PM:)

[BITMAIN]

S3+ and S1 Upgrade kit are for sales

Only Available at http://www.bitmaintech.com

Bitmain now announce the S3+ which is a revised version of S3 running stably at 453GH/s (frequency=225 MHz), while consumes 355 Watt power at the wall. Most of miners will be able to run up to 500GH/s but not guaranteed.

S3+ for sales shipping starts on September 20th or earlier

S3 is a great success product and almost sold out. The sale of S3+ is 0.58 BTC each including the international shipping, which starts on September 20th, 2014 or earlier. Sales open in the Beijing Time tonight 22:00 (UCT+8:00 Time Zone).
We strongly believe it is best choice of mining bitcoin for both the mining farm and the home miners.

S3+ Specifications:
Hash Rate: 453 GH/s±5% with great OC potential
Power Consumption: 355 Watt at the wall
Power Efficiency: 0.78J/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

S1 Upgrade Kit for sales shipping starts on September 20th or earlier

The sale of S1 Upgrade Kit is 0.46 BTC each including international shipping, which starts on September 20th or earlier. Sales open in the Beijing Time tonight 22:00 (UCT+8:00 Time Zone).

S1 Upgrade Kit allows global loyal customers who own S1 to spend the cheapest cost to achieve the best performance: Used S1 will be upgraded to 453 GH/s while consumes only 355 Watt power at the wall.

The time of deployment is a significant factor in the global mining market. The design for heat sink of S1 is customized but compatible with the hashing board of S3. Hence we can finalize the S1 upgrade solution by a surprising speed, to maximize the mining life time for used S1 for each end-customer.

Here customers will get a “yes” for the question that can we recycle the used stuffs from used S1: control board, heat sink, fan, holder… Remove and Replace two units of hash boards and one unit of adapter board only.

Update
S1 Upgrade Kit includes:
1. 2 units of hash boards
2. 2 unit of mini customized heat sinks
3. 4 units of white plastic brackets
4. 8 spring screws
5. 1 bag of thermal paste
6. 1 fan including the fan's cover and screws

Specifications:
Hash Rate: 453 GH/s±5% with great OC potential
Power Consumption: 355 Watt at the wall
Power Efficiency: 0.78 J/GH on wall
Power consumption: This figure depends on the PSU efficiency, ambient temperature and the accuracy of the power meters.

Notes:
1)   S1 Upgrade Kit is designed for customers who own S1. Please be careful to place an order before you are sure you have or will have S1 in hands.
2)   S1 Upgrade Kit is nonrefundable after purchase.

Got my 10 pcs of S3-B5 yestarday.
All hashing well at "238" - around 470-480 GHs.
Perfect. Thanks Bitmain

I have 2 questions about the Antminer:


1. Does it matter if i only use 2 powerplugs instead of 4?

2. currently my miner only hashes at max 200GH/S is this due to the power or should i check the some other things?

Thnx in advanced

1. You can use only two powerplugs one of each side. Left and Right. Not only on one one side as you need to power both sides. If you go to overclock then you have to plug all four.

2. Better if you post here a printscreen showing status of your S3.

[aarons6]

question, how much is an acceptable HW number?
i got one that in 24 hours has over 100 and one in the 30s

not overclocked and running around 40c.

Cool. I got 0.116% HW :-)

here is a little reminder for us     well  for me.

vi /etc/config/asic-freq

cause I got a new one to try!!


I got a working freq!!!! 


231.25     just started testing it

lets hope it works for some:

looks like your hashing at 419g/hs .. i always look at the avg.

[aztecminer]

Let me know how that Freq goes. Mine never averaged over 440 at 231.25.
225 was actually higher GH/s for me. Yeah.. it was strange. No HW errors, but 225 ended up being better. I may try it again.



new set of numbers:

why u not bump that up to 250 ??

[aztecminer]

So some of my miners require a restart about every 12-17 hours - they occasionally show up with the dreaded "x" but then upon a restart they are all good to go,

I'm really tired of having to restart them with the gui,  is there anyone out there that can help me with an automated reboot option in the

"Scheduled Tasks
      This is the system crontab in which scheduled tasks can be defined."

 that i can save and autorestart the miners - once or twice a day lets say

12midnight and 12 midday?

Regards

loki.

hmmm.. my S3's been hashing at least a week @250 clock and 490 - 500+ g/hs with no degraded hash rates, and no dreaded x's ..
except for one that was a problem but i basically troubleshooted it and got it to hash at @237 clock and 475 - 480 g.hs .. still no reboots though.

did u plug in both boards or put two plugs into one board ??

I can't configure one of two antminers I received today. After connecting my laptop to it, adding an IP address in the same subnet I can ping it, but the web interface just refuses the connection and ssh-logins don't work with the default root/root combination.

What's wrong with this unit and how can it be fixed?

er maybe it is just me but check your router so that the internal network stuff 193.xxx.xxx.xxx or whatever is different..I had that problem it was the wrong IP
on my setup even thou I changed nothing it just changed it on my router when say i plugged something else in the hub....made it 'fixed' address on the router
and all was well

others  on here have better minds then me on this just struck me as perhaps you maybe having the same issue

if not ignore my reply ..just trying to help even if clueless ..my equip this happened with was a knc jupiter but it was a router setup problem equip likely
I would have had the same probem with an antminer

My internal network uses a different subnet, so to set it up I just connect it to my laptop and set up a temporary network in the 192.168.1.0/24 subnet. This worked fine the the other antminer. As stated I can ping the device, so it seems to be sort of up.

ten minutes in for that 231.25 test.

after long testing  at 243.25

I get these numbers.

revised hardware design makes the S3+ more stable at higher frequency.

Any idea when the AntMiner S4 will be announced?
