Nooooooooooooooo!!!!
Besides security, what performance or efficiency gains will I get from the cgminer update on my S3+ B8? and Do I even need to update?
Also because I have the overclocked from the factory S3+ B8 do I need to plug in all 4 PCIe cables or am I OK still only plugging in two? I plan on putting 3 S3s into 1 1200 watt PSU (Corsair AX1200i)
Thanks in Advance for your response!!
1. cgminer 4.6 has bugfixes for some security holes, however, in terms of performance gains, the jury is still out (see update to OP here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=750220.new#new, suffice to say it will reduce the load on your controller.Also because I have the overclocked from the factory S3+ B8 do I need to plug in all 4 PCIe cables or am I OK still only plugging in two? I plan on putting 3 S3s into 1 1200 watt PSU (Corsair AX1200i)

2. Running 3 S3 units at stock on a 1200 watt PSU will push it to the max. I personally would run only 2 on that.
Thanks. Appreciate the advice. Very comprehensive information!!
Since my 1200 watt PSU was able to easily handle 3 S1 Antminers overclocked to 200GH Im confident that it can handle 3 S3+ Antminers, that is unless 4 PCIe Connectors are required per miner. Ill test when I get the units and report back.
You are welcome.
If you can run 3 OC'ed S1's on that PSU, then by all and any means, it will run 3 S3's without ceremony.
And no, you do not need 4 connections for S3's (OC'ed or otherwise), 2 are perfectly OK so long as they carry the wattage required by your set frequency (which they can as ably demonstrated in the linked thread).

I'm looking for an S3+. Anyone have one extra they didn't want because of the MOQ? PM me.

I am happy to report that all S3+'s are running at 460-480 right out of the box. Set it once and let it run. No firmware upgrades, no overclocking. Nice BITMAIN, nice.
I also concur very easy setup compared to the early days.
This constant angst over a few GHs is so pointless. Just let these things run and quit wasting your time and energy trying to squeeze out (literally) a couple of extra pennies. Downtime from messing with settings and firmware and reapplying thermal paste is doing more harm than good to your earnings.
Words of wisdom here folks. Just set 'em and let 'em run.

And now the temps are cold outside the Antminers are warming my house. I am already saving on the gas bill.

What does this mean?
Dont worry, this is normal. It happens on almost all orders for me in the US. It wont slow down your delivery. I get the packages in 2 days after they ship here in the Midwest.

@BITMAIN, what's the hold-up with
1. Announcing price and availability of S3+ B9?
2. Updating firmware to incorporate the latest cgminer v4.6.0?
3. Announcing any news concerning the S4?
I really wish you would take the information flow and interaction here more seriously!

What exactly are you expecting them to do? If they announce too soon they get yelled at for running a preorder. If they wait they get yelled at just because. I don't care much either way, whenever they announce I'll run the numbers and buy or not. Agree on the cgminer upgrade though, would be nice if they could put some effort towards it.

hello
fan speed is normal? s3.
fan speed is normal? s3.
Don't be surprised if it lifts off the ground and flies out the window.
but temp is ok
Are the fans fairly quiet? It doesn't sound like an old school vacuum machine does it?
the fan has a sound and it seems its wind is warm.
Just like mine - not hot air filling a room
It sounds like it just can't properly monitor the speed of the fans. Just to cover your bases I'd contact Bitmain and see what they say.I had this problem when I updated the firmware to the Aug version. My S3's are pre-B8. I reverted back to the July 21 firmware and everything is fine.
Here is my s3 info, can you provide me 21 july version?
Hostname antMiner
Model TP-Link TL-WR743N/ND v2
Firmware Version OpenWrt Barrier Breaker r38031 / LuCI Trunk (svn-r9909)
Kernel Version 3.10.12
Local Time Sat Sep 13 13:26:25 2014
Uptime 0h 14m 30s
Load Average 2.92, 2.40, 1.50
how i can check it is B8 edition?

Temp is good. This has happened to a few people here and I haven't seen a cure for these symptoms. Some people have suggested updating the firmware or going and doing a reboot from the system tab. If your hashing is good and the hw errors are low then it isn't something to really worry about. Are the fans fairly quiet? It doesn't sound like an old school vacuum machine does it?
