Hi All,

Bought 2 S3.  Arrived yesterday.

1.  First one, turns on, immediately non-stop ringing.  Never turns off. 
2.  Second one, turns on, no ringing, but the temperature of the first blade says 2C while the second is 44c.

They are both being tested with the SAME Corsair 1000W PSU.  The ringing is the worst part, but the temperature thing also concerns me.

Anyone know about this?  I am not talking about the intermittent beep that happens, it happens on the second unit, but the first unit is constant ringing, non-stop.

Thoughts?  BITMAIN why not answer this?  I have emailed you as well, no response.

New sales will be open tonight 22:00 (UCT +8:00). The shipping date will be before the August 2nd. The price is 0.63BTC per unit.

Coupons will be ready soon. Refund of B1~B3 is in process as well.


The price is already 0.2 BTC higher.


They base price on USD, BTC is dropping....

Quick Question.

Any one else having their S3 report only one working blade.

I've tried
-different power supply
-multiple reboots
-different pci-e plugs
-Currently power all 4 pci-e plugs with a 1600 watt supply

I've filed a ticket with Bitmain but nothing yet.

Anyone have any suggestions short of opening the box and checking connections.



I had the same issue with my S3's. Try this, plug pci-e cables "criss cross". See illustration below.

C              D


I criss cross A and D not AB or CD

New sales will be open tonight 22:00 (UCT +8:00). The shipping date will be before the August 2nd. The price is 0.63 0.65 BTC per unit.

Coupons will be ready soon. Refund of B1~B3 is in process as well.

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.

This was the address they used last time for orders coming in from bitpay. It was fascinating to watch them come in real time. https://blockchain.info/address/1QB8Ds5KbGYBLQa5RyDQ2sVUeSKWf7qgkZ?sort=0#

Looks like Bitmain has the new listing for S3-B4 up on their site, reflecting the new pricing of 0.65 BTC each. I suppose the next 30 minutes is gonna be passing pretty slowly for many of us Smiley

It is usually the same time AM/PM swapped in EST as it is in China. So now it is 9AM EST in US and it is 9PM in Shenzhen. If the above post is real then they go on sale in less than an hour. Happy hunting.

I am looking for  a coupon for s-3's


my bitmaintech name is:

 philipma1957



at allcoinminer I found this:


https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.7866105



I am pretty sure there was more about 7-22 as the date.  Just can't find more then that.

mm there was not any post by BITMAIN. I checked his entire history of posts.
Those days here by some members where clear speculations.
But as a good manufacturer they should re-open that refund option again.

I see my coupons now .075btc x 3

when do they expire? expiration date is useful to know since it will give an indication when they will be available again for batch 4.

I predict there will be a big drop in price for batch 5, the reason is simple for batch 4 there are a lot of coupons for the people that did not want the refund which reduces the need for price reduction beyond the 7.7% for drop hash rate, and another 9% for difficulty increase, but as expected they will sell out quickly, for batch 5  all the coupons will be gone, and further increases in difficulty will force them to drop the price further, and by then mostly everyone that wanted one will have at least one, once they start selling from stock is when prices will be the lowest, just like it happened with the S1, history repeats. currently the s3 is the best deal for the money that I am aware of.




for me, validity time:

2014-07-12 00:00:00~2014-08-16 00:00:00

What do you recommend me guys then if i plan to run 2 S3 at 212,50 Frequency(~424,81 GH/s? - 362W / each, 724 W total). Use 1 corsair CX750W for 2 S3 with that frequency(212,50 - 362 W), or 1 corsair for each S3, and buy i dont know a 1000W new PSU for 2 more S3.

thanks
I thought they consumed ~360w for the ~480gh?

Is everyone else getting this high of power consumption at that low of speeds?

I have 4 running for the past 24 hours each pulling 365w and hashing at 441 average across all 4.
