My guess is your power supply for your over-clocked machine--can you swap it for a second and monitor to see if it continues to be difficult?

I have a problem. My "Authorized Distributor" has done the following.

I (stupidly) agreed to overpay on batch 1 S3 because I wanted a batch 1. They usually make money especially batch 1 where you have good clarity on what difficulty might be when they ship. I paid very early on July 1.

I received my confirmation emails. I re-checked my account after end of business later that day. So far everything was in order. Batch 1 S3 etc.

2 weeks about go by and I pop in to check my account to find out when my Batch 1 order will ship to discover it's a magical Batch 2. I have no idea when it was ordered, what point in the queue it was at or anything. At this point I have received 0 contact from distributor. Order was altered 25.5 hours after I placed it. I wish I had known I needed to babysit this order to keep things on track and at a price I could live with.

I notice in my account there is ask us a question. So I ask if they can fix my Batch 1 order to actually be a Batch 1. I really wasn't thinking that someone intentionally changed anything but that there was a clerical error.

24 hours pass still no contact from distributor.

I send a message to the person who has their email on my receipt (I dug it up just to ask again). I was not nice about it. Reply was received in 3 hours. Nothing too helpful just an offer for fair compensation. What is fair for bumping me into a cheaper batch, failing to ask me about changing my order, failing to ask about re-pricing my order? At this point I didn't want a batch 2. I never wanted a batch 2.
 
I asked within 3 hours for the following, after apologizing, What my total refund would be AND what my "Fair Compensation" would be.

Within 12 hours the disputed order shipped.

No answer Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday or Tuesday. Email was sent late Thursday. As of Monday late my order finally finished its warehousing. Tuesday I send another email asking if distributor would please reply to my last email. Last email included in current email.

Wednesday I get a reply. Here is your tracking #. Batch 1 and 2 shipped about the same time. I have to refund the 7.7% for specs and I have to refund 0.02 for the price difference. Let me know wallet address.

I reply I asked for full refund and fair compensation. Order is complete when package is accepted I have not and in 7 days UPS will return your package to you. I point out I still wouldn't have paid shipping on Batch 2 (ordering from bitmain) and told distributor I figured the 0.1115 over the cost of batch 2 directly was fair compensation at this point. I notified distributor that I was interested in either 0.1115  or a full refund and they have until the package goes back at that point I expect a full refund.

No reply in 48 hours. Send email to admin because I get an order complete email. I point out 1.48 is better then 0. Ask what they would prefer.

48 hours more still no replies.

I really would like a way to deal with this that doesn't leave me with a more then Batch 1 priced shipped same as batch 3 held in China for 4-5 days batch 2 then left at UPS because I have an issue with the questionable way this has been handled. Most of this is the price of business

Anybody?

Hi!

Im a new miner from Spain, Barcelona. Best regards for all!

I have two questions. I hope you can help me because i dont have any idea to find the solution of my problems.

I have one Antminer S3 B3 and one is working with 2 PCI Connectors @250Mhz and hashs at 500gh/s but in one hour and a half the hash decreases to 360-380 gh/s. How is it possible? The status of miner appears to be OK, without any "X" or "-"... Somebody knows whats happening? if i reboot the S3 the hashing push up to 500GH/s but in one hour and half decrease too...
In the status no HW errors and nothing strange. Only i can saw is a Little decrease of temperature... 47-44 grades @500GH/s VS 46-40 @365-380 GH/s.  

I observed that my miner works more stable with 2 PCIEX connectors tan 4. How is it posible??

And the second question is for the second S3 B3.

I tested 250Mhz, 237Mhz, 225 and default 218.75 but always i get a lot of HW errors. How can fix the HW errors?? The only speed that no cause HW errors is 212Mhz.
I think the temperature is not the problema because its working at 43-43 grades.

Two S3 antiminers are working with the last available firmware of Bitmaintech and are new. Arrived this week.

Can you help me?

PD:I hope you can excuse my English
