Okay. I don't want to start rumors, so somebody else, PLEASE investigate...

I ordered from Bitmain directly for the first time within minutes of the S3+ going up for sale. I can now view my order, but the edit button has gone away.

From lurking in the forums, I have read that the Edit button going away always meant that things were about to ship.

The S3+ isn't slated to ship until on or around Sept 20th.

Has anybody else's Edit button gone away for their S3+ order, and could that really mean that things are going to be happening soon??

Interested in the opinion of those who have done this before...

Thx.

Mine has been missing for several days now, don't hold your breath.

The next reason is the website is about to be updated with either a price change or the batch is sold out and the next batch is about to be listed.

Just checked. Web site still says for both S3 B8 and S1 upgrade: "Shipping starts on September 20th or earlier."

The "earlier" part probably won't be early enough for those holding their breath.

I know, i already passed out twice by holding my breathy and nothing shipped yet  Shocked

Hummm, strange one here, updated two S3/B4's and two S3/B5's to latest firmware this morning, all went well and initially all four will hash at 500GH/s using 250M...
however after a while (30 mins or so) one of the S3/B5's always drops back to 458GH/s (from 500)..? There are no x's or -'s, as per screen shot...

One Seasonic X-1050 PSU for each pair of miners...

Any Ideas..?

Is there a safe shutdown command, like a "Halt" for these? Either for web Gui or ssh?
I usually unplug the rj45 cable and let the s3 came to an idle not hashing mode and my psu fan stop spinning then I turn off

Thanks for the tip. Smiley  It always seems so abrupt to just turn the things off on full stream.

Better is to ssh into the miner, then issue the following command:

poweroff -d 3

This instructs the miner to stop all processes in an orderly fashion then wait for the power switch to be turned off. The "3" instructs it to power off with a 3 second delay. You could also use "5" or "1" or whatever time interval you want. You should see the fan(s) stop as well, which is usually a good visual clue to turn off the power switch on your power supply.

Many thanks. I'll do that next time.  Smiley

I saw that bitmain released cgminer..

Does this mean we'll eventually be able to run auto-tuning enabled on our miners?

this is a Box of my psu.

please check and tell that PSI-E cable is 12v or 5v

thank you


Corsair is the best power supply for my.

You can use any converter to molex aor Sata to PCIe.

But be careful, you only can connect one S3 without OC and nothing more.

It's 12v. I believe the 5v is for the CPU cable.

That psu though will only power 1 S3.

Just updated to the 0811 firmware and there is no longer anything displaying under "Frequency" and the miners are hashing at less than 100gh/s... Any ideas? 

(Apologies if this was covered somewhere in this long ass thread)

When you flash uncheck save settings and it will fix the problem. there may be other ways but that is what I did.

Thank you.

The other way is to select the Miner Configuration tab then select the NEW Advance Settings tab where you have a pull-down to select your frequency, the default is 218.75. Once you select the default or the frequency you were running before select the Save & Apply in the bottom right hand section of the window and you should be good to go. Most if not all of them went to 100GH/s after the update.
