Do we first flash the fan fix or the firware upgrade?
So I also swapped the fans to Arctic F12 PWM. Got it quite silent. However my temps went to 55 PCB and 72 chip. I tried to find out what the max is for B3 but haven't found it anywhere, only other miners. Any info on that? Got temps down to 49/66 with some more ventilation.
Well, in my experience (as an electronics engineer), most processors can comfortably handle much higher temperatures, although sometimes other issues such as solder fatigue can develop over time at extreme temperatures, especially if temperatures fluctuate greatly. However, at temperatures below about 80 degrees C, it's unlikely that there will be any such issues, not unless build quality is very poor.
It appears that the hashing chips used in the Antminer B3 are Sophon BM1680 neural processors:

Datasheet:

The datasheet states:

Operating temperature: 0~125°C
I wouldn't recommend running the BM1680 anywhere near the upper temperature limit, due to the strain that may put on solder joints and surrounding components but, in my opinion, I would say it's unlikely any damage would result from continuously running it at temperatures below about 80 degrees C.
Many thanks VanAllen!
seems their website is flooded 
- anyone willing to put the firmware on a mirror fileshare ? thx

Bitmain just released two firmware updates (Assuming that both required to get all features). One for showing fan speed and reducing rejected shares and the other increases hash rate by ~33% avg !!!!!!!!!!! (Getting 1040 H/S Average and 0 rejected shares)

Simply go here https://shop.bitmain.com/support.htm?pid=00720180519161243572MB78lOGz067A and download both firmwares. Flash you B3 with "Antminer-B3-20180519.tar.gz" first then after completing the upgrade flash it with "update_1000.tar.gz".
Please note that my B3's are running a bit hotter after the update also assuming that they're consuming more energy (Can someone confirm this please).
***NOT RESPONSIBLE IF THIS FIRMWARE BRICKED YOUR MINER. IT WORKED PERFECTLY FOR MY MINERS***
Please give me some of them merits if this post helped you

How long did it take to flash the "1000" file? The first file went fairly quickly, the second file seems to be taking awhile?
UPDATE: Nevermind - It is now rebooting - thanks for the heads up!

How can you found out if antminer been used or not ? In settings or any other way ?

Very disappointed in Antpool and Bitmain for not being ready for people who bought their miners and everything seems to be pretty dark right now.
The Bytom wallet was interesting to say the least too...

Agree on all statements!
antpool starts paying BTM ...... everything after the old .... all payments in the state of "paying" ... did not make any payment .... What's going on?
Do you have it all like this???
Do you have it all like this???
my antpool payout says "Paying..." as well.
Same for me , i use my ether wallet
FYI
ANTPOOL:
1 of my 4 payments is "PAID".
3 of my 4 are "PAYING"
Confirmed the 1 listed as "PAID" is officially in my Bytom Wallet

WOOO! Got my first payment officially into Bytom Wallet from Antpool!!!!!
Greedy Newbie babies ...call the WHAAAAAAAAAAAAmmbulance
Your B3 is still making MUCH more than any S9
DID YOU BUY SOME COINS?
Why do you expect the price to rise if you don't but and only mine?
Everyone mines the shit out if it but NEVER buys it?
That's why they call it INVESTING...you need wait for future profit by BUYING cheap NOW!
Do you USE crypto's to buy things with? Instead of fiat shit money?
Grow up children

Im certain I bought more than YOU.. And I have s9s also.. No newbiee here., Ive made more on last weeks pump and dump than my whole farm put together and is why the rant....
Just warning others at this point. About the hardware their being scammed for..
This would even be tolerable if they didn't play so many games.... But In my experience Ive learned that I generally dont have to shell out $6500 bucks to be this frustrated.. Thats usually free....
Were all adults (well most of us) and we know the dangers in the market. But this group is just beating an already bad situation with the ugly stick..

Currently getting just about 24 BTM per rig a day on antpool.
For all the complainers, do the only thing you can do, mine away with it and hope for the best for the coin.
