I have a Corsair 1200W Power supply. I used to load below 1000W on +12V rails.
Recently I noticed that one of the PCI-E power supply cable overheat a lot than all the other 5 PCI-E power cables.
I tried removing all other loads and justed tried with this overheating cable for various loads in this PSU.
Did what ever swapping and switchings I could do and found it as a cable problem.
I thoroughly inspected this faulty cable for any physical damages but couldn't find any.
This cable is only started using 2 months ago and its overheating from the first moment itself.
I suspect it as a clear case for warranty claim, looking for comments regarding this or your experience if any.

Use a multi meter and check it for high resistance.

edit- If its a modular cable that is.

My PSU is Corsair AX1200 Modular.

My CX600 cables got warm too when I tried to put a 250mhz S3 on it. I went back to the CX500 as the cables are much better quality.

One of my units will only hash at 440 which is fine.
The other is OC'ed to 250mhz hashing at 500GH/s for a few days now, without issue, on the CX500 with only 2 cables.

Thanks for posting it again. I couldn't find your earlier post on the same subject.

How are the PCIe harnesses on the CX500 with the 250mHz OC? Do they get hot? What's the draw at the wall?

I'm running 4 S3s at stock frequency on a single Enermax MAXREVO 1500W.

They all are hashing at 440-445.

Temp are between 43-46C.

They are drawing 1402W at the wall, so there isn't much head room.

It's not too bad though. Your overall loading is around 84%. As long as your cables do not get hot, it should be fine. It's always best to monitor them for a couple of days before deciding to leave them unattended.

I can't get back to the antminer s3 interface! I got one of my miners up and hashing because i set it to run on dhcp. So when i plugged it into my netgear switch it started hashing on btcguild like i set up, but i cant get back to its interface either.

I had to configure my ip address bc im on a 10.8.xxx.xxx ip. When i changed the static address to match my network i can not connect back to make changes in the interface on the first miner i set up. I have not been able to log the cg mining interface back through my web browser to make any changes, point my miner in the direction of my pool, etc. PLEASE HELP

There is a small reset on on the front of the S3. Use a paper clip and hold it for 5 secs or so. That should reset the device back to factory settings and you can then log in @ 192.168.1.99

I thought that would work and tried it but not having any luck. Still not pulling u the login in the browser. What else could I try?

Make sure you restart/reboot the miner. Also restart computer and router.

Nothing. I emailed Bitmain with a screen shot of what I set up so maybe that will help. Luckily i took a pic with my phone. Im sure it is really easy, and it would be but im setting this up at work (free power) with the different 10.x.xxx.xxx address which has complicated it for me. Now i cant get back into settings, ughhh

People will be less likely to help if they know that you aren't paying for your own power. Many of us have high electric cost.

FYI for those ppl using miners at work. I work in security and most security products are coming out with signatures looking for mining traffic. Most haven't zeroed in on tcp+stratum protocol and just look for http/https traffic heading to probably known sites, but it won't be long before they start looking for that as well since the specs are published. Just be careful and if you don't have explicit permission to use the device at your place of work then take it home.

So. This is a thing. Anyone know where I can source those 477 6.3V caps?
Funny thing is, the miner still hashes over 400GH

Try this http://uk.farnell.com/avx/tajd477k006rnj/cap-tant-470uf-6-3v-case-d/dp/1135049
Min order qty is 1.

I am certain these units are the same, but can I get a second confirmation from another member?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/KEMET-SURFACE-MOUNT-TANTALUM-CAPACITOR-T491D477K006AT-470uf-6-3V-D-CASE-RoHS-10P-/190750764760?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2c69a1aed8

Just received a reply from BMT suggesting that I re-solder the cap back in place. I know NOTHING about the internal structure of an SMD, is it okay to use one with such damaged packaging?

I got an issue with one of my S3s. It does not hash at all. I can connect to it no problem. This one appears to have an issue where the unit does not hash at all. All the settings are identical to the other ones (minus the IP addresses which are statically assigned. I can connect to it from within my lan to get to the web interface. cgminer appears to be running but not hashing. Anyone run into this? It seems like it would be a quick fix. Thanks

Did you open it up and check the cables from the blades to the controller? You could try to reseat the cables as well. If that does not fix it the next step would be to swap out controllers to determine if it is the blade/s or controller. I did not cover the power supply verification as I am sure you have already been down that road. Please let us know what you find.

Make sure the IP doesnt have a conflict with another device....

My apologies. Not how i meant that to come across. But setting it up there is whats causing me problems with login and figuring out how to configure the miner to even run for me and point it to my pool

5 Hours in and they are still up. Stock clocks 442 gh/s each in the webui. Mining on WestHash.com (The North American version of NiceHash)

WestHash is showing 930 GH/s avg 5 min accepted speed. No rejects

Looking at the graphs on WestHash...and it looks like it running between 890 gh/s to 1000 gh/s

Firmware is 7-28-2014

Temps 40-43

I might try to overclock in a week. Gonna let these burn in and join the other 2 units later this week.

Bitmain you rock!

But damn if only there was a wifi antennae built into these suckers....

Congrats, wish more people got good units like this. Whats your total setup look like right now or is it just he S3's ?

Just got my first two antminer s3 and just got them set up. So far they hashing at 450 gh/s avg with jumps to 500 gh/s with a avg on nicehash at 950 gh/s for both of them. It's only been 2 hours. I got them at stock clocks.

Nothing below 440 gh/s yet...looks like batch 5 is solid like a rock!

Thanks bitmain!

Also my second batch already shipped! Should have it Wednesday.

Folks use DHL if you are in the USA or Canada!

DHL rocks!

Sucks that you don't answer PM's or respond to quotes in the current thread. Cool

My B3 units are veritable lemons, I need to restart them every 1/2 hour to keep it over 400gh. My B5 units are all hashing 440gh at stock clocks after 4.5 hours.

How do you have batch 5 units already if they ship on August 7th!?

Batch 5 started shipping last week
