What overclocking potential do these have? I was expecting cooler temps than that, but without knowing ambient it's hard to say. I'm assuming the whole kit is PWM, so the fans and pump could be run harder if wanted to reach better temps.
Good looking product but more complex then the normal s3 for beginner miners.
Seems like more of a gimmick then anything.

Hello all,
Bitmain has employed me to help liaise with the community and later provide technical support. They have done this in order to help provide:
1) timely technical support
2) provide better feedback (if I don't know, I can find out from the people within Bitmain who will)
3) provide product and sales input from you guys directly into the company. If something is going wrong, YOU can fix it
4) provide native English press releases - less ManderEnglish, more sense.
This is a paid position, however it will in no way affect my independence or freedom in being critical towards Bitmain outside of this thread. My contract specifically stipulates:
This means I won't sit here and reply to every post saying Bitmain is a scam, don't buy from Bitmain etc etc, in this thread. It does NOT prohibit me from saying that in my own threads, if that is what I believe. It also has absolutely no impact on their rating in the Manufacturer trustworthiness thread [in which Bitmain just went down 10 points].

Dogie will speak on behalf of BITMAIN and will not criticize BITMAIN in these threads. Dogie still reserves the right to criticize BITMAIN in his other threads. Both parties acknowledge that this relationship has no impact whatsoever on BITMAIN’s rating or standing in “Dogie’s ‘Manufacturer Trustworthiness” thread.

Dogie support for this product has now expired. Other staff will now service your queries in this thread. I can still be found in my own thread.

Wiring:
Configuration:
Alternative Subnet Change:
- Prepare the paperclip for the PSU's 24 pin connector.
- Prepare the watercooling for the miner.
- Plug in the eight PCI-E cables to the miner.
- Plug in an ethernet cable from the AntMiner to you router.
Configuration:
- Power on the power supply using its switch at the back.
- Make sure that your router's subnet is 1, ie 192.168.1.x. If not then change it to 1, this is just temporary. ***If this is not possible, see below***
- Using a browser, navigate to 192.168.1.99 - this goes to the C1's configuration page.
- Login using "root" as both the username and password.
- Navigate to Network -> Interfaces -> WAN -> Edit.
- Change protocol to DHCP and click "Save & Apply".
- Using a browser, navigate to your router and find the IP it has assigned the C1 and navigate to that IP.
- Navigate to the page Status -> Miner Configuration. Enter your pool information in the below format.
- Select "Beeper ringing" to "false" and click "Save & Apply".
- Navigate to the page "Miner Status" to check mining has started.
- You can then change your router subnet back to whatever you are used to using.
Alternative Subnet Change:
- Unplug your computer from all internet sources.
- Plug in an ethernet cable from the AntMiner to your computer.
- Navigate to Control Panel -> Network and Sharing Centre -> Change Adapter Settings.
- Right click on your ethernet adapter -> Properties.
- Click on "Internet Protocol Version 4" and click properties.
- Select "Use the following IP address" and enter the following:
- IP Address: 192.168.1.1, Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0, Default Gateway: 192.168.1.99.
- Plug in an ethernet cable from the AntMiner to you router.
- Restart the configuration instructions as above.

| Problem | Solution |
| "x".in.a.row.on.miner.configuration.page | - There is a faulty chip - nothing we can do. Hash rate will be affected by ~1.5%. |
| Almost all "x" on one row of "Chips" | - A hashing board may be mispowered or faulty. Recheck your cabling and PSU. |
| How do I change the login password? | - Navigate to System -> Administration. Enter the current password and enter your new one twice. |
| What is the SSH login? | - Username is "root", password is "admin". |
| Can I turn the beeping off when the miner stops mining? | - Navigate to Miner configuration and turn "Beeper Ringing" to false. |
| I can connect to the AntMiner but its not hashing? | - Set the protocol to DHCP via Navigate to Network -> Interfaces -> WAN -> Edit. If you don't want to use DHCP, navigate to Network -> Settings and make sure "Gateway" is set to the IP of your router. |
| What temperatures should I aim for? | - Try and achieve <50 for best hash rates, and <60 for long lifetimes. Temperatures should not be let to rise above 70C. |
| Where can I get the latest firmware? | - Download from Bitmain's site. |
| How can I tell what firmware version I have now? | - Navigate to System -> Overview and look at "File System Version". |
| How do I install the latest firmware? | - Download firmware as above. Navigate to System -> Upgrade and click "browse". Select the downloaded file and click "Flash image". Do NOT interrupt this process or you will brick the unit. |
| How do I reset settings to default? | - Use a paperclip to press the reset button - located next to the ethernet connector - down for 5-10 seconds. The miner will then reset with stock settings. |

Liquid Cooled Miner C1: It is not only cool, but it is cool
Only Available at bitmaintech.com
The density of miners is becoming more and more important as the rapid growth of the bitcoin hash rate continues. The industry is trending towards industrial level mining, which leaves home miners without much choice for compact and quiet miners.
In response to this problem, Bitmain has developed a solution. The high end PC industry has used water cooling for years, and this expertise has been transferred to mining equipment. Bitmain is proud to announce our first Liquid Cooled Miner – the C1.
The 1st Batch of C1s are priced at 1 BTC per unit (excluding shipping), with dispatch estimated Oct. 25th
Specifications:
* Hash Rate: 1,008 GH/s guaranteed
* Power Efficiency: 0.8 Watt/GH/s at the wall
* Voltage: DC 12V input, 70A recommended, no PSU
* Water cooling block’s interface: G1/4-8 thread screw
* One 14038 Fan working with water cooling block
* Temperature: 38~40 °C at 25 °C ambient temperature
* Noise: 40~45 DB at 25 °C ambient temperature
* Ethernet connection, Stand alone
* Certificate Compliance: FCC/CE
Recommend Accessories:
Note: Bellow recommend parts are not included in C1, but a purchase links recommended on bitmaintech.com.
* Water cooling pump: Flow 450L/H, Head Pressure 3.0m, DC12V/0.5A, G1/4-8 screw threads, 1 unit
* Radiator: Aluminum, 389mm * 128mm * 36mm, G1/4-8 screw threads, 1 unit
* Fan 12025: DC12V/1A, including grills, 3 units
* Transparent tubing (ID/OD): 5/16” / 3/8” (10/8mm), 3 meters
* Coolant: If you choose an aluminum radiator, you can use deionized water with an additive, or specialist coolant. If you buy a copper radiator, you must only use specialist coolant.
* Connectors: G1/4” thread 10/8mm fittings to connect the C1 to the pump and radiator. Either compression fittings or barbs 4 units
* Spring clamps or worm drive fittings if you chose barbs, 6 units
Note:
1) Power consumption: Quoted figures depend on your PSUs efficiency, the ambient temperature and the accuracy of the power meter.
2) PSU: You must provide your own ATX PSU. There are 4 PCI-e connectors for +12V DC input and all are required.
Features:
Stone alone: C1 mines are stand alone and do not require a proxy server or external controller. Setup consists of installing the water pump, radiator, filling the coolant, connecting a PSU and an Ethernet cable.
Cool: Skving technology is used to design New-Style water cooling block. This allows for a large heat-transfer area, which keeps the PCBs exceptionally cool. Thermal Images’ comparing liquid cooling and air cooling at 1TH/s hashing power
Quiet: Four hashing PCBs with 16 BM1382 chips per board are mounted to the both sides of two aluminum water cooling blocks, which are 250mm-long, 115mm-high and 13mm-thick. Each water cooling block contains 24 water channels for efficient heat transfer. A quiet fan works in tandem with the water cooling blocks in order to keep other board components on the C1 cool.
Stable and Accurate: Customized and optimized from the design of the S3+, the C1 is designed with the same PCBs and is supported by Serious-Double-Block Liquid Cooling technology. This allows C1s to benefit from the stability and accuracy of S3+ required to run 24 hours a day with minimal downtime.
Exquisite:
Die Casting Forming technology integrates the common heatsink with a water cooling block, compacts two water cooling blocks working in tandem. These technologies are saving space and allow for 1TH/s of power in a case the same as the S3.
