Have you ordered by UPS or DHL?


I have seen people asking here about which courier and would like to know.
Is it possible to choose courier when you order from Bitmain directly?

A noob curiousity.

A few in here keeps talking about CPU load.  I suppose they're referring to the series of numbers next to the "Load:" label on the upper left hand corner of the S3's web GUI.  How is the load percentage derived from these series of numbers (i.e. Load: 1.31 1.40 1.36)?

Thanks.  That was a good read.  Always learning something in here.


ohhhh u have no idea haha

I also noticed  the load average is way lower on the CPU now that it was.  was always above 2 before.  now hovers around 1.2.  any additional benefit to these devices to run with lower/higher loads?
That's likely the advantage of the newer version. In principle it will lead to less lag time in keeping the device busy and less time to process and send shares. However cgminer is so heavily multithreaded that it probably won't matter since the latency critical parts of the cgminer code are already prioritised.

You are the MAN... Wink

Thank you,

I would update to the most recent version, uncheck the box to keep settings, then apply cgminer using the following:

Would checking the box to keep settings do something undesirable?  I left them checked (default) when I flashed my units and I haven't noticed anything unusual yet.  Am I missing something?

I can't wait to see how the stock freq performance as well as OC, I have some B1's that struggle to keep 410 to 430 GH @ default freq. I'll post results Friday.



I have one of batch 1 that does 410-418 Gh at default mhz. Did you try new cgminer on underperformers?


I didn't try that, did it help yours?

not yet, but since nobody else did,  i might use it on that machine, which needs improvement.

I flashed 2 ant S3's with the latest firmware antMiner_S320140826; after flashing they both started hashing at around 100GH/s. Went back to antMiner_S320140721 which works fine (~440GH/s).

You *must* choose a frequency in the Advanced Options of the Miner Configuration, otherwise it will default to 100GH/s.  If you forget that step, you'll get only 100GH/s and you'll show no frequency in that column on the Miner Status page.

You're not the only one - this has been discussed here since about the time that the second-to-last firmware update was posted.  ;-)
That did it, thanks!
