We've covered this in depth today. The thread is messy, but this one liner will change what you need once you've SSHed onto your miner:
Go restart cgminer in the web interface by going to miner configuration and hitting save and apply. That will restart cgminer with the new config above.

70amp double pole?  You can pull 56 constant amps through each wire at 120V each.

You could run about 34-36 S3's off that depending on how good your PSU's are.

It will get warm.

I put a six gauge wire on a 70 amp circuit breaker, from my main 200 amp fuse box to a spare room, how many s3's will I be able to run on that circuit, air conditioner is on a separate 20 amp breaker.


thanks in advance

I have read this entire thread over the last couple of weeks and I have been trying. What do I have to type into putty to access the parameter that need changing?

sed -i 's/--queue 4096"/--queue 0 --scan-time 1 --expiry 1"/g' /etc/init.d/cgminer

I am sure he did the cgminer parameter changes as many of us did, go back a couple of pages and read through the previous posts.

I see that your discards are very low. Did you change any other settings besides the frequency when you OCed?

I am wondering how the load average impact these, I ask because seeing the system at an average load average of 2.3 and 0% CPU cycles all of the time I wonder if cgminer is getting resource starved at all. On the surface it sure seems like it..

Did you mod this machine?
Looks awesome

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

Observations re S3 (vs S1)

S3 is quite a different beast. S1 was like a soldier. You give it an order to march at higher speed-and it does or "dies" trying-gives you XX.
One of my S3-I give it more juice (225 vs 218.75)-it goes up to 455, then back to the same 420 GH (while keeping all 0000).
Now trying 212.5, but it can do 430GH max on this-we will see.
There must be a controller (probably R47) that limits the performance no matter of what mhz you give it.
Cooling the case with an additional airflow from two fans directed at opposite sides did not help at all-I tried it.
However, i think that experimenting with heat sinks on R47 is a worthwhile endeavor.
