I thought it was supposed to come with a cover?
sadly no that might make it cost more those covers the S3 uses are nice not the best but nice . if you watched the video and read the parts offered it just a upgrade and a real upgrade .

I wonder if that will make much difference in the temp compared to a real S3+

Does it use the same CGMiner or do we flash the unit to an S3?
the upgrade i think video say's the controller mount for the upgrade convert it to A s3 . I was told when I got my email from the US vendor i bought my S3 from that they are gonna release a Firmware up date that upgrades to the latest version of CGMiner 4.6.0 or later what ever is out when they DO Imo i wish it would Include bfgminer to i like BFGmner more no offense intended to the DEV of cgminer.
I'm guessing but yea you need to update the controller once it is mounted sense I have tryed to use a S3 firmware on a S1 board some thing on the mount makes it seen as a S3 .
There are some folks working on antminer support for bfgminer, myself included. Almost done designing a USB dongle to control a pair of S1 blades (since I can't get a farking crossbuild environment set up)

I have not seen this clarified so I will add it.
You do not have to get the 2 units of the kits from Bitmain, YOU CAN GET JUST 1 UNIT directly from bitmain, and here's how you do it.
1. Got to the bitmain website and select to buy the kit.
2. Go to the checkout and complete the order for the 2 units MOQ.
3. If you chose to pay with bitcoin, when you get the address to make payment, send bitcoins for 1 unit, i.e 046 BTC
4. Optionally, you can add a note in the Notes section that you only want 1 unit.

Someone Can Please Help!
I have 2 broken control boards of my old Antminers S1. I need these boards to the Ugrade Kit?
Please inform which part of old Antminer S1 will be in use in new Upgrade Kit, it seems everything is in Upgrade Kit. Nothing of my old antminers - except the support structure - will be recycled even the old fans are not in use with the new Kit, correct?

Sense bitmain has two videos on YouTube how the upgrade works it seems to upgrade from a S1 to S3 you need the S1 controller, both heat sinks unless you oped to water cool i think those heat sink should work the old screws form the Old hash boards the frame from the S1 unless you plan to customize a case around the upgrade or use a custom case if you have one .T paste then your set so i can see were using the old hash boards still might have some use left not much but some.
I think they did a really nice job with the up grade i for one plan to get two kits or working on getting two . My S 3 will be here some time next week , i want the up grade more now not for the hash power more for the Uber fun of doing it and ofc for the hash power . i did read some place S2 user will get a upgrade kit just no eta yet with speeds up to 2 TH .

Just got my tracking number said 6 upgrade kits are on the way and should be here tomorrow 9/18 etc.. I was actually worried, since I purchased (2) S3 miners and the kits. Bitmain just told me they shipped separate, and I've already got the order for the S3's. He just sent the tracking info about 10minutes ago, and responded in 1 hour . Nice!
Oh for those interested I'll have a couple extra S1 upgrade kits.. if someone wants to buy em off me. I oversold my S1's on Ebay and now will have two extra kits left over once they get here. PM if your interested. I figure if someone wants to toy around with one kit.. this maybe an option? I also will have several fans and screw kits for the second missing fan if needed. I'll Know more once I can spend a few minutes looking over the contents coming. I'll probably be asking at cost of the kit plus shipping just to get rid of the extra two.

Does anyone know if the upgrade uses a new controller card? It doesn't list 1 in the details.
It includes an adapter for use with the s1 controller
My upgrade kit was shipped, due here on 19/09. Looking forward to the efficiency and hash rate improvement compared to the S1's.
Cheers

Hi,
Broken means, only the ventilator are working.
I try to connect blades to other controller and blades are fine.
First this problem starts without contacts to the blades, controller blink but don´t start working.
Now Controller don't make nothing, is dead
I Can't find the Taugeran's post regarding unbricking.
Yes Taugeran, your service as welcome, please Mp.

Check the voltage coming out of the mp1484. The hashing board shouldn't work without the +3.3, but check it just in case, it will take 2 minutes.
The power header for the controller only have 4 pins
Pins 1 and 2 are ground.
Pins 3 and 4 are +3.3v
