Just got 6 D3 Boards back from bitmain.

4 were fine.

1 had a heatsink off. annoying but okay.

1 had an entire chip ripped off!!!!! what the hell are these bitmain staff doing with these boards.

Also the boards they sent back aren't the ones we sent to them.

Of course, they probably sent some older boards from their farm

Yea I believe this is right.

yap! the same to me, 2 boards off, than another is going faulty last few days and I am worried that will go 2 boards off equally Angry

You have send them back than to bitmain than? how long does it take to get the new one from them?

I would get them sent of ASAP because your warranty is six months and your more than likely three months into that.

We sent ours off before Christmas and got some back today, Its totally random with them is my honest answer. We sent off an L3 Board back in September didn't get it back until last Tuesday!!!!! Angry

If your having issues with D3 randomly stoppin g mining there is a firmware fix for that.

If boards are dieing you will need to send them back to bitmain.

We have 16 D3's from Batch 2 and 8 have suffered this issue. One of them has now lost two boards.

Essentially, We are suffering with the second D3 bathes board failure issue. So we have around 5 D3 Controllers and shells just laying around while they are under warranty repair at Bitmain.

The other day my L3 Controller Board died, totally my fault and I wanted to know if the Hash Boards had failed also. Luckily they hadn't but my L3 is out of warranty and I don't want to wait for a new L3 Control board to come from China at my cost for shipping and import tax also.

Plus this also keeps the boards making money while i work out something more permanent.

Having tested this now. It works.

Obviously will not recommend this to run permanently.

The reason for the duct tape is because the L3 Boards are slightly too long and hang out stopping me from screwing the back fan on.

I also had to chop off the PCI-E Power Connector Locks.

Obviously using the D3 Chassis only 3 L3 Boards can fit. But this works and is mining Litecoin.

Shocked

Great job! then how about ur D3? you got so many D3 Cases for L3+? I dont understand why you got so many L3+ board without the cases , and also uses D3 cases and take out D3 hashing board . I think kind of waste Huh

Hi there guys!

So let me get this straight, you can take L3+ hashboards and use them with the D3 control board? to mine litecoin. so it becomes a L3+ essentially?

I have a D3 and 1 board is dead almost from beginning. So trying to see what my possibilities are. I can't use the 2 working hashboards with another controller? like S9 to mine BTC?

Hi

I had a discussion with a friend, and he was telling me that it may be possible to put the controller board from L3 to D3?

Is this possible? If yes, any other modifications should be made?

Did anyone had in mind to put the S9 board to a D3?

Regards
Cristian
