Try going here: http://hakedev.com/wp/2016/01/06/setting-up-your-antminer-u3-in-windows-8-1-updated-2016/A guide I've used before, pretty straight forward. Also for overclocking definitely use --au3 --au3-freq <arg> Set AntminerU3 frequency in MHz, range 100-250 (default: 225.0) --au3-volt <arg> Set AntminerU3 voltage in mv, range 725-850, 0 to not set (default: 775) And last, use the latest cgminer.

I'm thinking devices and printers shows them to. If set up properly they should show up in there ( I believe it tells com port in that view aswell). I think he might look at Zadig if not working still. I think it was most common problem.

Also have you updated to the latest version of cgminer? Are you running cgminer from a .bat file or are you using the command line? You should really be creating a .bat file in your cgminer directory and adding this line to it: cgminer.exe -o <YOUR POOL> -u <YOUR USERNAME> -p <YOUR PASSWORD> THen once cgminer starts, if the u3 doesn't show up, unplug the USB cable and Plug it back in. Also you are power these with a PCI-E cable correct?

It is a good way just to see if cgminer sees it. And use latest cgminer I believe. I am thinking about selling a R1 possibly... if anyone is looking for one to control a U3.

USB implementation on the U3 seems to be a bit flaky anyway. That's quite obvious if you read this thread. I have two U3 connected to my GNU/Linux Box and that works without too much problems (they do zombie from time to time though). There was no need to install any additional drivers. Maybe that's an option for those who can't make it work under Windows.

PM sent, let me know if you're interested or not.
If not I'll keep the dead U3 around for a little longer before sending it to the e-recycle bin.
User jlauzon has not got back to me yet. I'll keep the dead U3 for another week then it's off to the e-recycle bin. If anyone else wants it, let me know. 0.03btc to cover shipping to lower 48 and it's yours.One more week has passed and never heard back from jlauzon or any other user so the offer is withdrawn and the unit is off to e-waste.

it looks like 2 of my remaing 5 U3 are dying too... AU3 1 seems to have 2 dead chips AU3 4 has a LOT of HW errors... ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2Frj54DsI.png&t=665&c=6ez5Nnrc-Rc2zA) I really feel ripped off.... And no, they've never ran past 63Ghs. (and maybe 30/40% of the time, they were at base freq most of the time) And yes, they were appropriately cooled...

Or bottom? Or kinda mix. Was just curious if there was a trend with your setup on which ones are dying. Probley not but worth asking.

Well I guess there goes my theory on being up getting more heat with middle left. I ran a lot more fans then I needed to when I was using U3's. I was OCing compacs so the U3's got the fan's from them. I set up a overkill 5 or 6 fan through a fan controller was for fun as much as anything.... and I like leds ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) . Mine were pretty constant in that after using my R1 I didn't baby sit for at least 2 months or so.
