No the S3s are a bit louder than the c1. Not by much though. I will probably look into swapping fans later if they bother me. Not sure yet. Much quieter than my sp20s tough. Lolol
Impressive. You are at 675v. What is your frequency?
When you run at 760v. How many watts you are pulling from the wall.
When you run at 760v. How many watts you are pulling from the wall.
Most efficient test I have and am running them at currently, is 0675v, 800GH/s (200Freq on all 4), no 'x', 804-817GH/s averages, pulling 575-590watts (I have 3 of them running).
I tell you though they are not much quieter than the S3 I have running at 200Mhz/400GH/s.
C1's temps are all 33-35c.
I never ran 076v. Max I ran was 075 @ 250Mhz, 1008GH/s stock. I briefly test 275Mhz @ 1123GH/s but it was pulling 943Watts.
I love the idea of under clocking these. Please keep us informed. Have you tried on multiple to see variance between miners?
Like I mentioned, I am running 3 of them. Underclocked, the C1's are ok, but otherwise, unless you have free or very cheap power, not worth it vs an S5 or better yet an SP20.
I'll be testing some S5's finally in a week or so as I got my hands on a few. We'll see how they compare to the C1. I think the C1 is strictly S3+ boards mated to a watercooled block between them. I'm actually going to look for an enclosed watercooling system that will eliminate the spaghetti of wiring and hoses this system requires. There has to be a way to make it nice and neat.
What's making the noise? If it is the fan on the miner, you can probably replace that with an almost silent fan. I never got that far in trying to replace that stock fan since they were quiet enough for me to have a phone call in the same room. And the fans on the radiator are just 800-1200 speed quiet fans I suspect. They should almost be silent to begin with. I never owned an S3 rig, so I don't know what they sound like. The S3's are less quiet than the C1?

The only benefit I see is the size savings, which gets negated by the plumbing issues again. LOL
2 advantages:
1- It's near silent
2- You can heat a poll with them (pictures will come later)

Hi all. Do you guys run these at full blast or down clock for better efficiency?
I played around with the voltages and frequencies, and best seems to be 810GH/s at 585Watts at the Wall (0675v). Once you go up from here the wattage goes up exponentially.
I mean I dig the quietness, but it is not much quieter than my S3's at 400GH/s down clocked and the plumbing 'issues' with the radiator, wiring, etc..etc.. just IMO make it much more of a PITA than the simple S1/S3/S5 design.
Still playing with mine, but at stock voltages it's not a good design IMO.
Unless you under clock it, it uses the maybe 50watts less juice, than a pair of overclocked S3's at the same speeds.

Good news, I was able to get a fully compiled firmware with the latest cgminer 4.9.0. I've been using it all day on a couple of pools for testing and it works fine. It does fully support extranonoce.subscribe feature because when I tried connecting to Westhash.com proxy/pool it gave me a green check mark and no wasted hash. One problem though, if I put a price in the password, like p=0.20 which is really high on purpose for a reason, it does not jump down to my second pool. If you just want to hash on West/Mice all out then no problems. Here is the link you can get it at.

Download away. That link will eventually expire in several days.
If you need it,just let me know. Props smit1237

Hi opentoe,
The link has expired, would you be able to make the firmware available again? Thanks,

PS: I pm'd you as well.
What feature from S3+ you wanted to see in C1?
- power off / halt from web gui
- autorefresh miner status web gui (30secs)
- ntp entry on web gui network setup
- more than 3 pools - 4 or 5
- be able to stop / restart just the cgminer process
- the reboot page from web gui mostly works, but sometimes I have to physically power cycle for it to boot up properly ...
(and sometimes one chain is all --- & needs a power cycle to re-enable)
- rrd / stats graph of hashrate & temp for hourly, daily, weekly, monthly (like spt)
- be able to schedule start/stop of cgminer cron style in web gui (like spt)
The last couple are a wishlist and not from S3 ...
Give us the s3+ options from the pools, like to roundrobin the shares or split my hash between my pools.
Just copy the s3+ options to the C1

4 reboots always fixes it
that or off for ~10min and on after that
I two have had this on one more then the other of my C1's. It seems to take a power off and wait just a bit, then power up for it to have proper status.
I experience the same thing. I need to do a power shutdown every 2 weeks on a machine. Before turning off the power supply which command can I run with SSH to cleanly shutdown the machine?
On the C1s, if I reboot (GUI) they do not come back up cleanly, you have to reset the power switch.
When I say they don't come back up cleanly, I mean the hash rate does not return to the
1000GH/s. Maybe 760 GH/s
Often times the ASICs on chain #2 or chain #3 hashing boards come up all --s or ..s

That appears to be how these boards like their power and like a hard reboot to reinitialise. It may be firmware but its more likely to be a characteristic of the boards themselves.

Picked up a S3+ off of ebay. I wish the C1 had a better firmware. The features on S3+ are way nicer.
Better firmware
CGminer update would be great. The SSH configurations and auto-refresh are nice.
Honestly a lot of networking features/configuration abilities seem to be left out purposefully, features in which I would never use at the scale of mining I partake in. It seems the S3 can act as a router and/or switch with its wifi, so the networking features/configurations are very robust.
I know they sold a lot of the S3s.

@tbolt,
screenshots be nice! You can post it here or send it to support @ bitmain . zendesk . com
thank you!

How about passing this on to the engineers while you are at it:
On the S3+s, I can reboot them from the software GUI, without issue.
