Starting to get pretty warm in the US

What is a good temp to stay under for the S1?

What is the absolute extreme temp for the S1?

Is there a temp the S1 shuts itself off at?

I would like to know the answer to the first questions. But for what temp does it shut off? I dont think it does unless it dies. I had a fan stop working and the Antminer was at 80c. Thermal paste was dripping out ect. Ugly.

Cryptocurrency Rules man!
Hey guys, how do you earn coupons for future antminer orders? How does it work? It feels like I randomly get the coupon. Is there a reason why coupons get sent out? Please let me know, thanks.

Yeah right, they all mined on the same IP, I'm sure that worked well! A more likely explanation is those settings are already in the firmware image they use to flash the units just before they are shipped out.

I wouldn't think different if miners which i received and i received 5 in one day was with different credentials.
Not same IP plus the fact some was overclocked. So u telling me that bitmain flashing units with firmware and different credentials on each units?
If you really believe none of s1 was used for mining in bitmain factory you must live in strange world.

Price is low for so long and bitmain must compensate that somehow. Most BTC from orders are untuched so where money come from for production?
As i said before i have ONE unit from 2014 batch, rest which is 4 is from 2013. So now, question is if this is just old board which was assembled this year or whole miner which finished work for bitmain?

Please rethink again what was said.

But of course BitMain IS MINING...All the time...Their pool name is "AntPool"... check here :

Guys its been at least 2 out of 10 of bitmain that were used (much dust), and also overclocked!

Are they serious? How can they have warranty when they send them o'cked?

Support also sucks, sorry.
Bitmain, any comment on this Huh Angry

Check this guy:


People-Bitmain is using miners for own benefit by "checking" if they work. End of story. Why all miners before your own setup have credentials like:

pool-xxx.xxx.xxx

worker- anntminer 123


Dont be surprised about any of this fact. Some miners are from 2014 batch and some coming still from 2013??? This means they was mining for them, why you think price is low and they can still deliver units? I stopped to complaint about dust and overcloked units. Whats the point?


This is 5 units on sale in UK if anyone interested from me: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.6117056
All taxes paid and ready to ship.

The pool info is there because they didnt erase it after testing. 

Every manufacturer should test before shipping out but some actually don't.

As to how long they are "tested" who knows.

But it's not like they advertising absolutely new guaranteed only turned on to make sure it works units.  Knc is same as bfl asm ct etc.

NOONE should expect a brand new unit from a major manufacturer.   The only time you get a new unit is from a company that doesn't test all units going out. Like some small chinese clone companies.

My last miner I ordered came OC'ed to 375,which means no warranty  Sad    It works just fine,but they should at least reset to stock clocks............

Did you try the reset button?
Hi,

Today I received 14 antminer S1 units.  I'm having trouble with 2 of them.  1 unit the fan is set to high and I cannot figure out how to set it to auto.  The other unit has a sticker on it unlike the others in that it is much bolder print with the ip 192.168.1.99.  I cannot locate this unit on the network while the others showed up just fine.  The lights are lit on the ethernet jack, but the unit is not connecting because it just flashes a green light on the hashing board instead of quick flashes like when it is hashing.  Any ideas or help would be appreciated.

I've posted this to bitmaintech, but thought I'd check here to see if anyone else has had these issues and knows how to resolve them.

Thanks,
b.

Yeah I did.  A helpful hint for anyone else.  I'm using a linksys 54g wireless router that bridges to my main router.  It appears it only likes 4 units at a time with it.  I moved the ant to a different room and plugged it in and it recognized the .99 just fine.

As to the fan problem, I'll try a reset on it in the morning and see if that would maybe help.
Thanks for the suggestions.

Out of stock at Bitmain? No problem.

One more used (but working perfectly) AntMiner S1 being auctioned off here (US only).

The last one I auctioned off went for <0.7 BTC!


FYI, those from Bitmain are not "new", but comes with warranty.

Yep, I have one of those also ... one blade reports 180 degrees temp (which is why the fan ran at full speed all the time), the other 43. Clearly a temp sensor fault. I've swapped them over, but the web interface reports the same. I couldn't work out where the temp sensor(s) are, so fitted 'push-me pull-you' fan configuration with quieter fans and have it running at full speed all the time. Funny really, it's not noisy and one of my best Ants for hash rate and low HW errors.

Can you only order S1s with BTC? Is there a credit card option?

No credit card option, BTC only. My recommendation would be to buy a coin on localbitcoins.com or some other reputable site.

Thanks to you and the other people who responded for answering my question.

I think you're correct about all the facts.  Except folks shouldn't be OC'ing to 400MHz.  There are other ways to get 200GH/s out of it w/o going that high.  Mine are running at 393, and running just fine at 200GH/s.  According to my Kill A Watt, which doesn't lie, I'm pulling 10.65A @ 115V for 3xOC'd S1.  That's 3.55A a piece @ 115V.  Drop that down to 12V and you get 34A a piece.  34A * 3 = 102A on your 12V rail.

My Rosewill 1300 gold is rated at 108A on the 12V rail.  That gives me 6A to spare.
My Thermaltake 1200 gold has a 85A rail, and a 40A rail.  As long as I put one S1 on the 40A, and the other two other 85A, I should be able to drive 3xS1 OC'd just fine.  Hopefully the 40A rail isn't on the CPU connector, cause I'm not mangling my PSU! Smiley

Thanks for pointing out the reality about the wattage.  I overlooked that.  That means I can use my 1200 (which right now is a backup).

EDIT: I forgot about the PSU overhead.  With a gold/plat, you can assume 90%+ efficiency.  So when an OC'd S1 is pulling 34A, 90% of that is the Ant (30.6) and 10% is the PSU (3.4).  If you're using a 80% efficiency, you're going to be pulling 38.25A per OC'd S1.

I guess it depends if you want 200Gh/s or 400MHz... I'm getting 203-205Gh/s at 400MHz... I'd rather squeeze out those extra hashes at this point in time...

Don't forget you're paying more for those extra hashes (more electricity and more heat).  And it's harder on your Ant.

heat is what kills electronics. therefore should do everything to keep them as cool as possible. aluminum heat sinks will drop temps 2 to 3 degrees... and air flow across the aluminum heat sinks will drop them another 2 or 3 degrees. i have ants oced to 400 running at 41 to 42 degrees!

All of this discussion about the overall wattage of the PSU, line (mains) voltage, PSU efficiency, etc is driving me crazy (and it's a short ride for me). Here is how I see it.

PSUs have one or more rails that deliver +12V; the 12V rail(s) has/have a max rated amperage; the 12V rail is the only "part" of the PSU the S1 uses; therefore overall PSU "wattage" is not a limiting factor. If the Ants you connect to a PSU draw more power than the PSU's rated +12V amperage, you will shut down the PSU (best case). We can express "power" in this case as amps since we know we are always talking about a 12V system.

Bitmain says the S1 draws "360W from the wall".  To give ourselves some headroom / room for error and variability, let's assume a non-overclocked S1 draws 30A (360w / 12V) from the +12V rail.  If the BM statement is accurate, you will actually draw less than 30A  at the 12V rail(s), but that's OK, we want a margin for error / variability in the amount of power we think the S1 draws. [Note if anyone has actually measured the amps drawn at the 12V rail, we can significantly refine our calculations]

Therefore, if you have three non-OC'd S1s on a given PSU, it better have at least a 90A rating on +12V rail.  Looking at the BM chip spec and doing a little math, it appears that if an S1 is OC'd to 400MHz it will draw just over 38A.  If you are connecting three S1s OC'd to 400MHz, your PSU should be rated at 115A on the 12V rail(s).  

We may have built in more headroom than necessary (we essentially assumed the PSU is 100% efficient, which is clearly impossible) and you may be able to get away with a PSU with it's 12V amps rated at less than that calculated above, but my sense is that we should keep an adequate margin for variability in the amp draw for a particular Ant at a particular moment in time.

I think you're correct about all the facts.  Except folks shouldn't be OC'ing to 400MHz.  There are other ways to get 200GH/s out of it w/o going that high.  Mine are running at 393, and running just fine at 200GH/s.  According to my Kill A Watt, which doesn't lie, I'm pulling 10.65A @ 115V for 3xOC'd S1.  That's 3.55A a piece @ 115V.  Drop that down to 12V and you get 34A a piece.  34A * 3 = 102A on your 12V rail.

why not oc to 400 ?? i have four of my six ants oced to 400 and they get 200-205 g/hs. .. and they are running nice and cool too with the added aluminum heat sinks. all are under 50 degrees and a couple are even under 45 degrees. i have not seen a single issue running these at 400. i have one that i did not oc because it has some issues with thermal paste bleeding so i left it at stock because it is running at 45 degrees, and i have one more running at 375 oc for now. ocing ants i think is about the heat. as long as can keep their temps down then should be fine.

Personally, i would rather pay the equivalent of an extra $10 or $20 in BTC and get my next Ant now. Also, how do we know BTC will increase in the short term?
