Some routers also only go as high as .254 so u have to adjust that in routers menu. I hade that issue last year with some cubes.
Hey, I recently purchased a few Antminer s3's and was in the process of setting them all up. I was changing their IP addresses, and when I got to the IP address 192.168.1.255 I couldn't get this Antminer to respond. I'm not sure why, it just takes me to a cox communications website and says that 192.168.1.255 can not be found. Any ideas?
.255 is a IP broadcast address (/24 IP network), this is an issue.

So all in all if I want 2 overclocked Antminer s3s I'll have to buy a 1300W EVGA psu..
It's either you're a shill for the people who owns this site for the purpose of generating traffic or you're just someone who has nothing better to do and get your kicks in here to somehow fill in an emotional/psychological void or you're just a plain, good ol' jerk. Whichever it is, please take your shite somewhere else because you are a distraction to the members in here who truly are seeking useful information from the community. It's getting too old already just in case you haven't notice that yourself. Nobody is that dumb.
No, I'm literally an idiot when it comes to this and I'm wondering what has others used!
I'm trying to fit 2 Antminer s3's onto one psu or two and I want to overclock both antminers safely..

Anyone in the US order miners and they go through Korea? Says Shenzen then next hop was in Korea?
Which Korea? North or South?
North Korea, of course. We have decided to conquer the world by diverting all bitcoin miners to our glorious country and then cornering the bitcoin market. You are all doomed.

Comrade, your intelligence agency has failed you. These machines need evil capitalist electricity, they don't run on soylent green.
They do not yet run on soylent green, Comrade, not yet...

No...but for the first time, my current order of two S3s is going through Osaka, Japan. Mine usually go from Shenzhen, China to Anchorage AK, to Kentucky to Pennsylvania (my home state). I have had 6 flawless deliveries by UPS using this route...Hope going through Japan doesn't change the experience. Maybe there is a problem in Anchorage and they are routing around it???

I fired up a new S3 and it has a newer firmware date of "Mon Jul 28 13:12:00 CST 2014"
My 6 Batch 5s all have that same firmware. DOn't know why they don't put it on their website. I'd like to flash it to by Batch 1s.
Can't you just backup the firmware from the B5 and restore it on a B1.
I'm Curious to see if it would help them, like many i have a unit that won't break the long term avg over ~400Gh
no matter what i tried, i even took the think all apart and replace the termal paste on the back and front of the boards.
Put heat sink on the dc-dc chip and also on the R7 Chips. still didn't help.
Let us know.
The backup from the GUI only backs up the /etc/config directory and not the firmware. Anybody know a way to backup the firmware into a .bin file?
I presume some sort of disk imager would be needed after the firmware is extracted from the S3. No?
Could someone please help me!!!!
I bought this power supply http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00H33SFJU/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 (EVGA 500W 80 PLUS Certified)
To power (1) Antminer S3 and possibly overclock it.
I've been hearing that the PCI-E connections are daisy chained and It can't handle the antminer.. could someone please confirm this?
I want to buy another Antminer s3... Should I
A) Buy another 500-600W PSU?
B) Return the EVGA 500W and buy a EVGA 1000W G2?
Please help me as I have no idea wtf is going on.

It seems that the PCIe power connectors of the EVGA 500W 80 Plus (see pictures in your linked site) are indeed daisy-chained or cascaded and presumably in a parallel configuration (2 power connectors on a single harness). It looks like a similar configuration with the Corsair CX500M (modular version) and I can affirm that the cable/wires got hot pretty quickly. However, why don't you test it first and see if the wires get hot. Perhaps, they're wired differently. Who knows?
Why didn't you just get the CX500 (non-modular version) instead. It has been battle-tested by so many users already, OC or not. In fact, the CX500 is 80 Plus "Bronze" rated is more efficient than the EVGA 500W with only a regular "80 Plus" rating.
Couldn't I just buy 2 cx600 or cx750 ? Would be cheaper than a 1300w evga
Should I decide for you whether you want paper or plastic bag to carry out your PSU upon checking out too?

I actually tested CX500M with default speed: incoming pcie cord is at ~42C, connectors at 32-33C and 30-31C, respectfully-nothing alarming.
If you're comfortable with it, I guess it's fine. I wasn't. It'd probably be OK to operate the single PCIe harness of the CX500M at such temperature but I wouldn't leave it running 24/7 without somebody around to monitor it regularly. But that's just me. It was hot enough to touch and I wasn't comfy with it. That's all there is to it. Good luck!

Of course you can and yes it/they would be. Buy two CX600 or two CX500 - whichever is on sale or has a rebate. Newegg is a very good source as I'm sure you already know.
Perhaps what's bothering people a bit is you're asking questions that could easily be answered by reading backwards through this discussion thread. It's an "asked and answered, you're getting on my nerves" kind of thing. That's what someone most likely meant when posting a photo with "search" circled. If you're in college and haven't learned how to do research already, you'll have to learn or you're not going to do very well in college (or life).
Either the CX600 or CX500 are good choices for S3's, stock clocks or overclocked. I run both types. Stay away from the CX___M (modular) version as they have one cable with two pci-e heads on it and that is _not_ what you want.
Good luck... READ... RESEARCH... the answers are out there, and if they're not and after you've researched for a few hours, then ask. You'll get more cheerful and helpful answers.
