^^^ very well and you are welcome.
hopefully, you get to mine an entire block ... all on your own!
Topic: Antminer S3 batch 6 overclocking - page 4. (Read 23027 times)
Just got back from Best Buy and checked my miners again and it looks like we are doing much better. Most are cruising above 500 GH/s and very low HW issues. Also heat is hovering in the low to mid 40's c. Thanks again Pekatete!
BTW my miners are batch 8 and 9 (two each) on the http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/antminer/s3/4.6.1-141020/cgminer
update.

Either way, I don't want this cgminer version issue to take away from the immense help this post as been in ensuring my little mining Op is running as efficiently as possible. So...thanks!!!
If you care to try (and it is worth your while), could you upgrade to 4.6.1-141009 (link in OP) which is what I used and do not get any unexpected restarts? Also, what batch of S3+'s is that?
That version is no longer available on the website. S3+ Batch 8. I tried it on S3 Batch 5's as well. All of them exhibit the same issue.
Would using the latest (version 4.7) binary work on an S3 or does it need to be specifically compiled for the S3?
I cannot seem to find the minor version of cgminer installed on my rigs (simply 4.6.1 via cgminer-api), but yes you are right, the older cgminer has now been pulled down (which was not the case a couple of hours ago!). I suggest the next logical thing to do is to ask on the cgminer thread.

Is upgrading to the latest CGminer for later batches of S3, including S3+ and upgraded S1's recommended?
Running the latest firmware, I upgraded all of the miners to CGMiner 4.6.1 and hashing restarts every few minutes. Overclocking is minimal - 237.5 to 243.75 with temps between 39 and 41 degrees. The miner itself doesn't restart, only the hashing.
I had to revert back to the CGMiner included with the firmware and they hash continuously without trouble.
I have not experienced the restarts that have been reported in several threads after upgrading to the earlier version of cgminer 4.6.1Running the latest firmware, I upgraded all of the miners to CGMiner 4.6.1 and hashing restarts every few minutes.

Could you try and get the exact version of cgminer that restarts? If you look at the OP, there are two versions of 4.6.1
CGMiner 4.6.1-141020 is what I used.

Okay well I have upgraded the cgminer on my S3's and will be working on upgrading my S1s to 4.2.0 while I wait for the S3's to settle down to decide if I want to try and push the freq.

Even with the new cgminer file, my units are doing a little worse than with the previous one. I am guessing I am losing around 10-14 GH/s per device, which is not bad but when you have 11 of them it makes a slight difference.
Do you have the latest firmware on them? i had exactly the same experience with my batch 6 units and reverted to the stock cgminer, however (again as is documented in this thread), when I updated to the latest firmware, which I had to do when upgrading my S1's, I get the same result as the stock, or slightly better, but with the security flaws plugged.Yeah I have the latest firmware, it is dated 8/26/2014. My issue is probably the 5 batch 1 miners I have, even though some of my batch 5 units are a little slow as well.
I replaced all the thermal paste on 1 of my batch 1 units and that fixed all of the X's and other issues. Not really worth it to start taking apart the rest.

^^ No worries.
