So it is a batch 3.
But still problematic.

The lulz worthyness of buying an S2 and it being shipped to Sydney (via Melbourne) which is probably a lot closer than anyone in the USA?
Oh well, not a single board survived in place:

(yes the left one is simply out of the socket as can be seen below, but the right one is right out)
And ... 7 out of 10 "PCI" backbone connectors are bent

Note this was provided to me by someone who paid the usual online ordering but had it shipped to me direct.
It was NOT provided by bitmain.
Gonna be fun putting this together ... sigh.

It's one of the group that was shipped and due to arrive this week.
In my case UPS sent it via Melbourne for some reason ... possibly due to having to pay duty on it.

Therein lies the dilema
Therein lies the dilema
I must have been one of the last purchasers from Batch 3, I feel a little hard done by when they announce a 4th batch $600 lessor in price when they hadn't even dispatched my order yet... Anyway moving along, I don't if this has been raised but I'm curious about the Quality Assurance standards are with Bitmain. I just received my S2 and its been running for 8hrs now and I've been monitoring it for the last couple of hours and the hash rate has been falling about 10gh an hour for the last 3 hours and its now sitting @ 935GH/S (avg). What this the tolerance of hitting the target? Because >-5% doesn't seem acceptable.
Could be temperature related. What are the temps on the 10 Chains?
Theyre all sitting between 47-53 with the exception of one @ 31.
OK the S2 now has been running for 16hrs and the (avg) has dropped down to 903gh/s. I've emailed Bitmain about getting a replacement but haven't heard back yet. Has anyone had any experience with Bitmain when it comes to warranty issues, or how supportive they are in resolving these types of issues?
You'll need to RMA your current S2 back to bitmain and they will send a replacement out to you. Could take 2 or more weeks.
Are you sure all blades working well?

I haven't really followed the terahash miners closely (I have S1s and U1s) but excluding the S2, which of the other 1T miners out there is/are considered the best deal at this point in time?
Also, Spondoolies, excellent product SP10. Is actually 1.5T.
See there https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.6583077
dragon miners are quite good. I have both S2 and dragon, they seem equivalent, so it is a matter of which one you can get cheaper

Has Bitmain come up with an Official response to all these issues I read about the SD card ? I would like 1 official guide on the Bitmain site that talks about handling this issue.. I have a S2 due to arrive any time and would like to be fully prepared to confront any issues I may have .
AntMiner I've ever seen doing the most beautiful rig, but also to sell the most expensive, mining back to this in the current difficult market situation.
I am guessing my orders from yesterday will get processed and shipped tomorrow
I'm in for two of the batch 4 units... I'm hoping/praying/wishing for early shipment by Bitmain (remember the good old days?)
Received my tracking number this morning. No early shipping
^^^ That hurts ^^^
