And this is how you convert an old bathroom into a 2.6 Th/s antminer S3 farm.

All six miners and Corsair 750W PSUs exhaust out the back window. Fresh air is drawn through a cracked window on the opposite side of the bathroom. Each miner is stable at 218.75 stock frequency and averages 440 Gh/s per miner. 39C-40C average temps on each. I opted for one PSU per miner as I may decide to OC and got a good deal on them.

May never ROI at my electricity rates but I'm more of a hobbyist anyway...and this was a fun project.

YOU NEED 6 MORE.. NICE JOB

Fuck.

And this when they informed me via email that it would be 440GHs through the life of the product...

The ones I have now are barely stable at 218.75.

The Eighth Batch of AntMiner S3+

Only Available at http://www.bitmaintech.com

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.

I seem to have gotten lucky with my B5's at stock all doing ~440.

That's why I'm confident about OC'ing.

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 ?

Hiya guys,

Im having an issue with one of my Batch 5 ant miner - one side of the ASIC chips are not working correctly - showing all xx's across the board.
The others i have work fine, I've opened the machine and everything looks good to my eye!

I have emailed bitmaintech a few times since delivery but no reply, any idea if they will actually reply or should i cut my losses, and ditch this company as a supplier for me?

any help on a fix would be great as i doubt ill have a reply from bit main tech!

Cheers guys!

Yes, give up as you have been scammed!

Best send the miner to me and I will dispose of it properly

Back when I was doing scrypt it was common to do solo. I'm assuming nobody does solo on BTC or? because if I hit a block doing solo with current calc i would net 25 btc which would be 3 times the amount I paid for the 12 devices. I'm doing 5.5thash now that i'm all oc'ed. If i stick with a pool forever then I have zero chance of making 25 btc. If I go solo and have some luck then within ~180 days I might hit one...

Any thoughts here on solo mining?

yes mine

1 s-3 solo

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

How much power your S3 uses on CX750M or CX500M?

at 237.5 one S3 uses 402-406W at the wall
at 218.75 another S3 uses 375W at the wall
according to kill-a watt at ~116V (US)

These numbers seem higher than what's posted, maybe the difference between bronze and gold or platinum PSU?

Also consider that ambient room temperature is also a factor. These are some of the data that I was able to jot down from an S3/CX500 combo using a Kill A Watt at 121V:

Legend: Tamb/Ts3/Watts

@ 212.5M
28C/41C/347W
29C/41C/347W
34C/44C/352W

@ 218.75M (stock)
27C/41/358W
28C/42/358W
30C/42C/361W
35C/45C/365W

@ 225M
30C/42C/373W
34C/45C/378W
35C/45C/378W

@ 237.5M
29C/42C/398W
32C/43C/400W

@ 250M
28C/42C/423W/486GHs
29C/43C/425W/485GHs

The current session which was started over nine hours ago is at 225M and at an ambient temperature of 33.7C is drawing 377W at the wall with an S3 temperature of 45C.

Eyeballing the above data, it seems the delta is around 11C which I consider to be excellent especially for a very hot machine doing 24/7 but YMMV.

I use HX850 with 2 ants and it is exactly 700w @118v running at 218.75

Where do you see it (AM gear), apart from rocket box and XBTEC? I see only github announcements on their facebook?

Re Bitmain-they will adapt to whatever competition shows. right now-not much, hence higher prices.
This should increase prices in the aftermarket (good for those with S3 already).
