Hi,

Is anyone able to help me out? I purchased 2 of the S3's and bought the Enermax Triatholor ECO 550W 80 Plus Bronze PSU (one for each S3). It says the DC output is +12V 42A 504W. I hooked one PCI-e connector to one side of the machine and hooked up another PCI-e to the opposite side using only two of the four connections. The machine never reaches over 330 - 340 GH/s. Do I need to overclock this machine to reach the 478 GH/s, or do I need to buy a bigger PSU, or both? If I need a bigger PSU which is recommended?

please post your miner status page

Here are my miner stats

Something is off with chain 2. I've never seen that with the -o and it should be 16 not 32. What happens if you swap the PCI-e connector? If they chains swap info I'd say you have a PSU problem. If they stay the same I would think it's the miner.

The chains stayed the same. I plugged in my second miner and it actually works the way it is supposed to. I switched the PCI-e's to the other two and everything stayed the same with the ASIC. Hooked up the 2nd PSU to the broken miner and still the same problem.

On a related note, I'm moving my entire operation to a DC next month, and have the most tolerant and patient wife in the world.

Did this 6 months ago and glad I did.

Details anywhere? Thinking about this myself, since I had an army of S3's in batch 1, and just ordered an army more in batch 4.

Good old-fashioned Google web searching, making some phone calls, talking to some people, going out and getting tours of data centers.

Ask them, "I need x kWh of power with minimal internet bandwidth requirements. How can you accommodate my needs ?"

That one blade looks hosed. Swap the PCI-e connecters as suggested and see what happens. If the problems remain on the same blade (the second one in the GUI) then open it up and check the ribbon connectors to the blade boards and make sure they are all good.

Our customer service guy will contact you.

Wow ! Thank you very much for the response. I was not expecting that, along with the personal email (No news on Batch 4, folks). I half-jokingly made that post, not expecting such a response.

I have to ask though, do you keep them in your bedroom or what?

Honestly, I have three units on the other side of the wall outside our bedroom (Have most of my house circuits loaded with ~1000kW worth of mining hardware.) I've already modified the S3's by trying to cover up the speaker inside, but alas, they are still slightly audible whenever they do (seemingly) randomly beep.

and only 0.0025 cheaper than Batch3
0.725- 10% = 0.6525BTC

Can it perhaps a little more to raise ? 0.8 BTC would be even better.
I wanted to buy 6 pcs, but I do not buy none.

I look forward to a more realistic price that can not be increased every two hours.

Check your math bro.

In the same boat. Hoping for the same outcome

This happens every time BM launches a new product, and always has. It will sort out for everyone who paid, as it does every time. If it's not automatically fixed in 24 hours, shoot BM an email with your order number and the TXID of your payment and they will manually fix it, although I've only seen someone need to do this once in thousands of orders.

Agreed. They always get it sorted so kick back a bit and don't worry about it.

Nobody has heard about this problem?

My S3 rings non-stop from the second I turn it on, to the second I turn it off.

I have read through the forum, I do not see this anywhere.

The other S3 states the temp of the one blade is 2C. While the other is 44c.

I have had many machines before, s1's and s2, never had this issue before.

thanks

I had one ring non-stop. I swapped the power cable to the PSU with a beefier one. At the same time I also plugged it in to a different outlet. It stopped it. The only reason I figured that out was because I was configuring them in one place and then moving them to another place to run. When I moved them over to where they were going to run the one started making the non-stop beep. Moved it back and forth and finally determined it was something about the place I was putting it but since I was moving the PSU also the only thing that was specific to that place was the cord and the wall outlet. So there you go.

Not sure what to tell you about the temp sensor issue.

do i need a psu? what do i use to control it?

You need:

a PSU of at least 600w bronze per s3. (i'm using a 100w gold PSU for my 2)

and a web browser to go to the ip of the miners for configuration purposes (default 192.168.1.99)

My 500W Corsairs are working just fine. I don't intend to oc, so it's OK that the 500W only s 2 pci-e.

same with me 1000w for 2S3

Mine has also expired even with 8 confirmations.

BitMaintech.com what is going on? Are you going to refund all the payments your system is failing to acknowledge now that the orders have been automatically canceled?

Yeah, I had 9 confirmations at the time it "Expired"

Quote from: ?? on ??

You guys all need to chill out - everything always gets sorted out. These guys are getting hundreds of orders coming in and have to confirm/verify everything. Let them do their job. Wink

I'm sure they will make it right, but if I miss batch 4 I'd be pissed.

Further edit.

It is now:
Paid
Unshipped
Expired

Even further edit:
I now have payment confirmation Email, with it still showing expired.

In the same boat. Hoping for the same outcome
