With the one I have here it hashes away fine for about an hour at 440 GH then the hashrate drops to about 395 to 400 and the errors start to appear

oooooooo oooooooo
oooooooo oooxoooo

I have down clocked it to 212.5 and that seems to have stabilised it.

I have 2 on an corsair HX750 works just fine.

Will post that pic tomorrow.

Image 1 includes a glimpse of our baby supercomputer (10x SC809T's ~40 TFp/s).

Have tried a variety of supplys and have settled in on the EVGA 1300's.
They are tanks. Ultra dependable. A little pricey. But worth every penny. Good insurance for expensive BTC mining H/W.

And it happened again, sudden continuous beeping which was only fixed by a reboot.... Bitmain or anyone care to jump in and explain these?

As a footnote, 24K BTU is enough to heat an average sized decently insulated home in Minnesota in Janurary (-30F).
Am planning on moving one or more racks into my house and get paid to heat it this winter.
Kill 2 birds with one stone, so to speak.

Bought the racks @ Menards in Brainerd, MN. They are available online @ Menards.com

What is not pictured are the 8x 20" box fans at the back door (4'x8' door) moving the heat away from the units.

If interested will post image of back door.

Currently, the S3 supply's are running off of 120V.
Will be swapping out the breakers to 240V double poles probably tomorrow.
Using the EVGA 1300's each S3 at a stock clock draws exactly 325W each at the wall or about 975W per PSU (8.125 A @ 120VAC).
So 1 20A Sigle Pole Breaker per 2 PSU's (16.5A draw per 20A breaker).
So @ 240V one should easily be able to run 4 PSU's (12 S3's) per 20A 240V breaker (240V*20 = 4800W).
Am making the swap to 240V cuz' have heard that the EVGA 1300 are slightly more efficient @ 240V than 120V.
And also allows for using thinner gauge wire per circuit.

Think your idea of 2x 30A@240V is overkill.
2x 20A @ 240 would run 24 S3's USING THE EVGA 1300's.
Other PSU's may not be as efficient and hence require a larger current draw.

Hope this helps.

nice......
I would have gotten more if i could somehow dissipate all these btu's:cannot do this at home at least.
My garage is fully occupied (cars) and no room in the backyard to build a shed (no basement either)
These shelves are some kind of standard or you have a link to home depot/amazon, or something else?

Is this running off of 120 or 240? What amperage circuits?

I am looking at standing up about 20 of these off 2 240v 30 amp circuits and I'm curious about your experience.

Yes I answered this on the previous page.
2 S3's at stock freq will work with 700W of 12V power easily.
2 S3's overclocked need at least 800W of 12V power.

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!

set up my 6 batch4 S3's this afternoon and all are running perfect between 440 - 460 GH/s at stock. Was happy with Bitmain with my s1's and they continue to impress.

Just got my two new S3 B4's in last night and got them rolling this morning.  Both were working fine for awhile, but about an hour in, one of them shut down - it kicked off the power supply.  Stock speed and mining settings, the only things I changed were setup to run my workers at my pool(s).

After getting some other power supplies, and swapping with the one that kept running fine.  I have found that any PSU hooked up to Chain #2 will shutdown upon powerup - it acts like there's a short on Chain #2.  I've searched this thread for anything like it and tried all the normal things like swapping cables, reseating them, inspecting for any obvious defects, redoing the heat grease, running it without any controller connection, etc.  No luck - any PSU always kicks off as if there was a short on that mining blade.  The PSU is fine after a few minutes and each can run the other S3 or other blade on the bad S3 just fine, indefinitely.  Only Chain #1 still handles power, and it runs fine.  I've put up a post-purchase note and an email, but no response yet.  I've sent them a screenshot showing only one chain working (2nd doesn't even show up of course since it won't hold power).

So, any other thoughts or ideas I can use to get this puppy back to more than 1/2 speed?

As an update it was a couple of faulty PDUs, they were getting too hot and causing voltage issues. I've swapped them out with better pdu's that display the amps and have had no issues since then. Thanks for the help.

I have single S3s running on both CX500M and CX600M. I also have 2 S3s running on a single CX750M with no problems. All are running stock clocks.

Yes, System-->Scheduled Tasks works well.

Mine are on 500s, one is over-clocked. I would go bigger than 750 for two. Go to at least 850W or bigger if you want to OC. I would stick to two cables per unit or one cable per blade.

Interesting though,  the non-modular cx500s have more robust wires than my cx600m.

Sorry for a question thats probably been asked tons

I have just preordered in most recent batch

For 1 S3, Would a CX500M Corsair PSU work
For 2 S3, Would a CX750M Corsair PSU work or should i stick to a single PSU per miner
