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.

Hello!
I'm going to have two antminer s3s
I will never upgrade and I just want a PSU that can handle both Antminer's overclocked.

I heard my EVGA 500W 80 PLUS psu won't work as the 2 pci-e cables are daisy chained? I can't even see if they are or not.
I may return that PSU and try to get either..

EVGA 1000W

or

EVGA 1300W

The cheaper the better.

I was also thinking of getting two
CX600
or
CX750

Please help

So everything looks good so far on my four S3's that got set up today, running stock speeds I'm seeing 440 on all off them except for one doing like 438 but shit, that don't matter lol.

In about another 16hrs I'll have more realistic numbers.

I have G-750 SeaSonic 80 gold powering up 2x S3 miners. After couple of hours, one of the antminer started getting some HW errors. Is this because one of the blades i connected with daisy chain?

what are some hw errors
5
10
100
1000
10000

1000 errors a day are not too bad.

Pretty big plans for a poor student girl without money...

Free electricity in a dorm apparently.

What I don't get is what's the point to keep parading the forums with a bright red scammer flag... is it like a badge of honor or something.

Sorry.. I'd just like some advice please.

Could I overclock 3 S3s with that thing?

Pretty big plans for a poor student girl without money...

And without time to read the rest of this thread for the answers she needs...

Sorry.. Well I want enough power for 2 s3s to be over clocked.
As the evga 1300 won't be enough to over clock 3.

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.

Post an image of your S3 blade you build up with heatsinks.

Here you go

What is the best pool to use for the S3? I want to make sure I use my Antminer as efficiently as possible. Thank you in advance.

I'm using Bitminter and ghash as backup...
