Usually Batch 1 has the best value... Sticker Price may be ouch at initial look, but the long term view should be good. (No promisse but I could not resist...) Happy Holiday! is the price gonna drop ? i think i better wait for S5 but NOT batch 1 ....
batch 1-2 is ALWAYS the most profitable (if they work). My underperforming batch 1 machine made way more BTC than outperforming batch 7.

You are missing a chain. Check power supply. Connections. Reboot. If it still is no good try swapping some cables around to isolate where the problem is. thank you for your help , i check PSU , change PSU , change cable , reset factory ... nothing change Maybe the cable from the controller board to the hashing board is not on properly. Have you opened it up yet to check internal cables? no i didn't open the case , ok i'll check it i opend it up and check internal cables , checked it . nothing found ! one of board's LED is on the other side is off and not work

I'm sorry to say, It looks like I'm getting the same instability, that came from the latest firmware. Hash rates are dropping, and fluctuating, I'm down to 800Gh/s, even on one round it was recorded at 500 GH/s, so either network issue as mentioned above, or the hashing part of the firmware isn't correct. Can someone advise as to whether it is worth putting in something into voltage section like : "0.8" I have a solid 1200W running two S3's, which used to run three S3's at 450GH/s each for months until this stupid firmware.
Nothing to do with hashing changed on this version, so its likely something on your end. Else, the feedback looks pretty good and I'll open it up to a wider release. Has anyone else been giving the @dogie firmware a try for the last coupe of days? ![Huh](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif) How's your hash rate? I really think I have to go back to October firmware, and I'm down 200-300Gh/s over three S3's. Exactly the same setup, in the same place, with the same hardware, with the same internet connection (Once your setup you don't really move things). I have older S3's, but I don't know batch. My 5s average is 450Gh/s which is about right, but my average is 250GH/s which is not right.

Do a warm reboot via SSH and that should clear your avg figures ....

Real BITMAIN quality I see look like cheap Chinese labor!!!! As far as the New Firmware posted on this forum its stable for me. Trying to insert a image of my status page but don't know how I am still new to this forum. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2F&t=665&c=X3R0-r72180rCA) that's all I get ![Huh](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif) Save your image on the desktop, then go to postimg.com, browse for the saved file & upload it there, copy the direct link, paste it here and then put the image tag around that link, voilla!

Does the December firmware cross platforms with the S3+?

Your avg numbers should be good now ...... Its something I noticed a while back whenever I did a power cycle, but when the system cleanly reboots the numbers are OK. That is a remnant of the initial Oct firmware bugs, and to be honest I'd rather they did not try and fix it as we've seen what they are capable of in terms of fixing minor bugs in their firmware!

Yeah, no solution for me, I got averages of 309, 307, 284Gh/s. My pools has me at at 0.9-1.2Th/s over three S3's, set to S3+ default frequency 225. I've gone up to next frequency 231.25 and lifted voltages to 0760 and reboot through GUI after, and I'll give it another try. I was getting 450Gh/s +/- average on all three on Octobers firmware at 231.25 Freq. Don't know if this matters but I do connect over WiFi.

Hi Guys, I am facing a problem with S3 Miner and not able to figure out how to resolve that.Can anyone please help me on this. Problem: Power supply shutdown suddenly with in 5 mins of starting miner. power supply: 600 watts cooler master have 2 6 -pins plugged each in one board Troubleshooting done: 1. Tried to lower the frequency Result: started from 225 and lowered till i am at 125. for every frequency it will stop after some time but for 125 its running at 253 GH/s continuously for 35 min and still running..this is the best i got till now 2. Tried to plug both the 6-pins in one board at a time Result: So when i plugged both pins in 1st board it starts and shut down after some time when i plugged both pins in 2nd board it does not start??? does this mean this board is faulty or there is 1 board which should be powered for miner to run?? Observation: i opened the miner and i can see only one red light on one board. is there a light on 2nd board also?? Please provide more troubleshoot which i can try.what are the other options i have ?? ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FUiTtZkl.png&t=665&c=0BWNWmfdTat_Ig)

What is your exact PSU?

Well as we all know not all chips are created equal. But have got it sorted out now, but took a while. I believe new firmware might use a little more juice. But I'm tuned now: 0.45Th/s 231.25Hz 0.76v 0.467Th/s 231.25Mz 0.755v 0.465Th/s 237.5Mz 0.765v Which gives me a very nice 0.76W/Ghs (A little bit higher for my PSU), so I am much happier, and does seem stable. But it took a lots of Frequency, Voltage tuning, and voltage made a real difference +/-0.05v.

My review of Antminer S3 - So i bought 16 x S3's batch 3 version and later i bought another 2 of the B8 version.
I must say i was extremely dissappointed from the outset. None of the miners that were sent to me were of the batchs that i had ordered from the first shipment of 16 miners came and they were ALL B1's the latter batch were B3's - i guess they thought someone in New Zealand is so far away that he wont matter.
I really struggled - i mean i REALLY struggled to get even 1 day with no asic fails, in short it was a nightmare, i barely managed to get 7.7TH (low end) to 8.7TH (top end) out of them. Look i tried everything, i adjusted the freq's slowly up on each machine - to no avail, no way could i get these to settle and behave. Barely a few hours would go by and one of the units would require either an auto restart or at worst a hard reset of the power button.
I had these units since August and have honestly come to the point where i was sick of the sight of them! Have sold them! My understanding is the S2's run 20% of the network, GREAT! they are reliable - I have 2 of them and they are reliable! But ur S3's - frankly they F**KIN suck!
Would i buy any further Bitmain product ever? NO!! unequivocally not, I feel ripped off, upset and very pissed off in fact at the poor chinese quality crap miners that were sold to me. It really does come down to this - I was suckered, by bitmain with promises of 444ghs and above and not one of these miners delivered that out of the box.
I would not trust Bitmain products EVER again and would give them the worst possible rating. The equipment requires almost constant monitoring and resetting.
Good luck to those of you buying their products, for me i would stay away from the S5's as i fear people will be shortchanged yet again.
edit - they should have called it the noughts and crosses miner!

Can I get some beta testers for a new S3 firmware please? Download link is here, it *should* be good to go but as you know.... Rolls back to the last good patch in Oct (1024), but fixes voltage adjustment and the important reset button. Hopefully.... let me know. Hello Dogie. Could you tell us what version of CGMINER has in this versión of Firmware, please?. Is posible test the versión 4.8 or 4.9, please? Best Regards. Antuam
