Guys 10,000 RPM is impossible.  I have high RPM PC fans that size and I think they run at 2000 RPM. Not even sure I believe 4000RPM fan speed.  That's what the small GPU fans on a 290x run at, 4000RPM and they are very loud.  

google delta 10k rpm fan.

Not saying these fans aren't glitching. But these do exist.

Sure in the 40mm or so size, but do they exist at the 140mm size?   

Man, if both fans on a S3 was doing 10,000 rpm, I would bolt that puppy to the floor because it is about to start taxiing for takeoff!!!

Hey everyone,
  I'm tearing apart the LUCI interface and am trying to figure out how to call the 'Save&Apply' button though the CLI.  I want to edit the crontab. Really wish it were just a php controller or something....

Edited contab to run the following every hour. Im expecting an increase in hashrate.

killall -s 9 cgminer
 
/etc/init.d/cgminer restart

*/3 *  *   *   *     /usr/bin/cgminer-monitor
0,30 * * * * sh /usr/bin/restart.sh

Boom!


S1-1 - 218 - 5hr - 437gh - 1HR Restarts
S1-2 - 250Mhz - 5hr - 466gh - 1/2hr restarts.

This is an increase of over 40GH on both miners for me!
I'm going to clock-up S1-1 and see if I see increases at 1/2hr intervals.

I encourage those experiencing degrading performance over time to do something similar. You lose less than 10 seconds of mining per restart.

oh thats cool about the wifi, I have ordered few of the kits so lets see how that goes.

anyone installed one yet ? what dBi antenna did you get and how good is the reception at what distance?

I've installed three. Had various antennas, usually between 3-5dbi. All perform perfectly well, coverage about equal to that of any other wifi device.

anddd i got me a golden s-3 the 225 freq is doing 475.  will wait to see how it runs over night

whats that wifi feature in the S3 ? can I use that instead of the LAN cable ? Or do I need something else to get it working?

Previous post several pages back.

Ha, I had 35-40 laptop antenna's I threw out a few months ago when I moved. Oh well, anyone who has access to an old scrap laptop could pull one out of there.





So....anyway...for those of you that offered meaningful advice...thank you.  I ordered some of these

And will let you know what they do for WiFi reception when I get batch 5 miners and install.  The U.fl pigtails and antenna combo is ridiculously inexpensive, so I figured I'f give them a whirl and share what happens on the forum.

Those pigtails and antennas should work perfectly. Three out of four of my S3s are on Wifi with antennas and pigtails fitted, I have found drilling the hole for the RP-SMA antenna to be a bit of work though, those cases are remarkably thick and tough!

Just had a rather odd situation occur...
One of my B1 S3s, running latest firmware decided to go beep crazy. Normally I'll get a beep or two and it'l stop, but this time it wouldn't.
Syslog showed the following:

Issued a reset to CGMiner and it came back online, but anyone out there have any ideas what might have caused a USB issue on these? In theory it shouldn't be possible, as the whole USB infrastructure is on the mainboard (no loose plugs or anything).

One of the gas stations I drove by today had gas $.05 higher than the other gas stations. And this is after raising prices since last week! What are they trying to do, rip us off? How can I afford to drive to work if they are charging so much for gas!? They really need to rethink their pricing strategy and think about what they are doing to those of us who commute regularly and need to buy gas.

They do indeed exist, I used to have 1. This fan at 100% is actually as loud as an Aircraft engine, No joke Cheesy

some report that as long as you have it close to your router it works without a antenna.

Hello Guys.

The S3 only need plug 2 PCIe without OC (218Mhz). One for side Righ and one for left side. But, if you would like do some OC in the chips, for example 225Mhz or 237Mhz, if is necessary connect the 4 cables of PCIe?.

I good like use the Power supply Corsair RM1000 for 2 units of S3 Bath 4.

And yes, I was read that any people have problems and they do undercooking to 212Mhz. Any pleople connect the 4 Cables with OC or without OC, please? 

Thank you in advanced.

Regards.
Antuam

A lot of people are having issues with 4 cables. I have 1 unit that is over-clocked to 250mhz hashing at 500GH/s with only 2 cables attached to the network port side of the unit, on a corsair CX500W. It has been doing well for a couple of days now.  The other unit will only run at 440GH/s at best,  and has been dropping hash rate on me every day or 2 until I reboot. I also has one blade that runs 4 degrees cooler than the other for some reason.  I may have to open it up and try to find out why.

Still does NOT change the picture...Robing us blind... Grin

ZiG

zig. your logic is retarded. they arent robbing anyone if you're (the customers) willingly paying the price of the product.

"herp derp its too expensive"...... then dont fucking buy it guy, its that easy mate., why are you spamming the thread thats about discussion and support and all you say is they are robbing you , dont buy it its too expensive. what am i missingo?? or is it because you just like to complain???

The only retarded here is YOU... Grin

all I am trying to ...is shed more light on what is going on...the FACTS...the TRUTH...

I bought B1 in first 2 minutes...but I am not buying anything right now...Did I say "BUY / DON"T BUY"...NO...

I said..."LOWER your price, BitMain"...because you are mining and it is not fair to your customers ...Capisco... Huh

BTW...I don't neet to explain anything to you...feel free to do whatever you think...like...etc...

If you don't find any valuable info in my post(s) ...feel free to use "ignore"... Grin

EDIT ...: as you CAN see...if you are not blind...I use "US"...not "me"...

BitMain is fine...Retards like you are NOT...

Current BTCGuild stats...:

AntMiner   777,601.32 GH/s...

EDIT ~ 20 BTC per day = $12,000 per day... / $400 current price = 300 S3 miners already PAID for...
FREE For THEM = BitMain...OK in 5 days  = 1,500 FREE S3's to SELL to US...THAT"S THE TRUTH...Grin

Or about 1,600 S3's farm mining... Wink

Hello, BitMain...LOWER S3 price...it is about time...$600 per BTC...

ZiG

EDIT #2 ...:

Manufacturers Don't mine...RIGHT...Tell this to my OLD HAT... Grin

EDIT #3...:

They MINE like CREASY...and after that sell to US...at inflated price...CAPISCO... Huh

12000/400 =30 not 300, but I do agree they are over charging right now

My bad...Corrected...I was so mad...

the problem is 440gh using 340 watts for .68 btc is the best price anyone offers.. on the bright side  when coins dropped to 562 used I purchased 1.4 btc.  i could sell  and grab a profit
