I've got two S3 batch 5s running off of one thermaltake smart M 850W. Each S3 has two pci-e plugs. Each S3 is running at about 216 GH/s.

I was under the impression that each miner could run with only two plugs each. Am I mistaken?

YOU NEED 6 MORE.. NICE JOB

Bitmain now announce the S3+ which is a revised version of S3 running stably at 453GH/s (frequency=225 MHz), while consumes 355 Watt power at the wall. Most of miners will be able to run up to 500GH/s but not guaranteed.

S3+ for sales shipping starts on September 20th or earlier

S1 Upgrade Kit allows global loyal customers who own S1 to spend the cheapest cost to achieve the best performance: Used S1 will be upgraded to 453 GH/s while consumes only 355 Watt power at the wall.

The time of deployment is a significant factor in the global mining market. The design for heat sink of S1 is customized but compatible with the hashing board of S3. Hence we can finalize the S1 upgrade solution by a surprising speed, to maximize the mining life time for used S1 for each end-customer.

Here customers will get a “yes” for the question that can we recycle the used stuffs from used S1: control board, heat sink, fan, holder… Remove and Replace two units of hash boards and one unit of adapter board only.

S1 Upgrade Kit includes:
1.   2 units of Hash boards which will be mounted with mini customized heat sink
2.   1 unit of adapter board
3.   1 unit of control board holder
4.   4 units of Plastic brackets, 2 units of 2x10 pin cables, 4 screws, 4 spring screws, some thermal paste

Specifications:
Hash Rate: 453 GH/s±5% with great OC potential
Power Consumption: 355 Watt at the wall
Power Efficiency: 0.78 J/GH on wall
Power consumption: This figure depends on the PSU efficiency, ambient temperature and the accuracy of the power meters.

Notes:
1)   S1 Upgrade Kit is designed for customers who own S1. Please be careful to place an order before you are sure you have or will have S1 in hands.
2)   S1 Upgrade Kit is nonrefundable after purchase.

How does one setup an S3 or an S1 to solo mine?

They set the factory clock to 225M after the guinea pigs (i.e. batches 1-7 S3 buyers) successfully tested and confirmed that they can be stable up to 250M.  I think that's the only difference.

Possible but I have no idea what, they did come on eventually but it was just strange they wouldn't respond at first.

Just got my two Ant's from B6 today.

After running for 4.5 hours here's what they're doing.

Ant1 running at 439.18 average (218.75 freq)
Ant2 running at 440.74 average (218.75 freq)

The only issues I had was with them initially turning on. It took 5-6 power cycles to get them to turn on, not sure why. After setting up the first one and changing the IP, had to do it all over again with both units to get them both up and running. I was worried for a bit there that they wouldn't turn on at all.

Ok who is pre ordering the S3+'s today? Besides me.

I don't know in Putty (could be the same), but in Terminal, if you are still at the root prompt, type reboot, then hit enter/return.

You obviously haven't seen the projected numbers for the next difficulty adjustment. Doom AND gloom! And it's really going to screw up that nice chart.

When your done OC'ing (editing the file) it says to reboot the system.

When back at the command line in PuTTy, can you do like a sudo reboot to reboot the system ?
