Brainwashed this way
SO Does changing the freq actually void the warranty?

Can someone from BITMAIN reply on this.  Thx.

I would always like faster but if the warranty is void it is not worth it.

What warranty? I used to think there was one until I tried to RMA with Bitmain. I buy from resellers now because a lot of them will warranty miner through their own shop.

Ok, so all four of my miners are up and I am in the webui to configure them. Whats the default PW ?

Want to let these run stock for 24hrs to see where we sit with hash etc.

Ty.


root/root

change the miner config otherwise they are mining for BITMAIN by default
Ok, and what about this constant login on almost every page ? My Prospector200 using LUCI doesnt do this shit.

OK I'll over clock my s3 with the evga 500 with only 2 connections and hopefully I don't burn the house down.

The key to that is IF your machine happens to overclock...not all do unfortunately luck of the draw...you have more of a chance burning the house down using 4 connectors on a sub-par power supply IMO

Since there is only 2 pcie cables.. Which adaptors would I get to make 4? Should I get two sata to pcie or?
Thank you!

You only need two cables. Not really sure why there are 4 sockets. Mine all run at 490GH/s or better at 250. Each with just 2 cables plugged in and each with a corsair m750cx.


But I'm going to be running it with a evga 500w 80 plus..
Shouldn't I have all 4 plugged in?

You will NOT need to use all 4 power connectors...in my experience setting up around 30 S3 so far every single one worked better using 2 connectors instead of 4, and that was apparent within the first hour or less
You MAY need to swap the power connector port if you get an x or - on a blade and if that fails then open it up and check the grease, but don't waste your time using 4 connectors if the dc/dc converters are weak, throwing more power through them is the LAST thing u want to do

I am impatiently waiting for BITMAIN to release a firmware which is not such garbage and clearly very rushed so much that nothing works properly

What 7.5-8.0 TH/s looks like.
Dissipating ~24,000 BTU.
Most PSU's = EVGA 1300's, powers 3 S3's each with current to spare.
Bitmain Rocks!



Awesome work planet, when I saw the red cables I thought that looks familiar as I am using the same EVGA 1300 to power 3 S3's each (they fit perfectly 3 per shelf in my 42U cabinet vented to the attic Smiley ), I only have 7 units and just checked the power at the wall all 7 use almost exactly 2400watts combined.

1. did you connect another miner to 2 remaining connectors? If not, what's the advantage?
2. how stable are they at 250mhz? I have a couple S3 that do great on 237.5 and was thinking of upping them to 250. Thanks.

Anminer s3 bricked after firmware upgrade.....

a firmware upgrade was performed on my s3 and now it seems to be bricked.  no way to login in its  current state.  not really sure what protocol seems to be at this point ?    i have contacted Bitmain several times (on bitcointalk, the bitmain site, and via RMA email) about this issue with no response   Huh

aside from using it as a paperweight, anyone have suggestions on how to fix or get it going once again...is this s3 bricked state even fixable ? 

thanks in advance for all input and help.

Did you try a factory reset?

Well I'm going to try to overclock my s3 with just one 500w evga 80 plus.. Hopefully it works out!

Should be ok, quote from the EVGA page -

"Supporting 40A on a single +12V rail"

As far as I understand the S3's use about 28-30A at stock, so there's some headroom.  I'd start at 225 and check the cables to see if they're getting toasty

Rinse and repeat Smiley

A cx600 would be useless to over clock a s3! I need 2 cx750 to have two overclocked s3s

I'm using a kill-a-watt to meter the power at the wall and 2 S3's with PSU at stock rates use 700 watts even.

a 750 might be overloaded if you OC them.
