ok - I did reboot of my S3, one blade totally disappeared and the second one hashes only at 50%.. donw know what to do now. I removed and readded the ribbon cables from control module to blades - with no help, still 1/2 of first blade KO, 2nd blade KO full (not even LED indication)
Well the S3's destroyed my Thermaltake 600W PSUs which had previously been powering cubes without any issues. They ran fine with them for about 30 minutes although cables were getting pretty hot, not 100% sure why it killed them yet. One PSU went peacefully, the other gave a nice fireworks display. 
Ended up using a Corsair RM1000 to power both and they have been running pretty good since, with no hot cables. 
For the past few days one S3 was only avging 380GHs and showed no 'x' and everything looked fine but after a reboot it kicked it somewhat back in gear. Currently around 430GHs avg now. The other has been running fine avging 440GHs. No overclocking attempts at this point.

Which model thermaltake psu was that? You used it for only one unit?
This is the main reason I am on the search for a quality PSU which can handle the proper power on the 12V rail. I'm worried about using split pci-e cables because 24/7 operation and hot cables doesn't always end up good
Problem for me searching is the amount of PCI-e cables that actually come with most sub 1000w psu. I might end up getting a handful of the molex to PCI-e adapters Thermaltake TR2-600NL2NC

I had 1 powering each S3. I initially tried using the split cable with both PCIx connections, but ended up using the split cable to power 1 connection on the S3 and using an adapter to convert 2x LP4s to a PCIx and used that as the 2nd connection - this may have been a mistake but my intent was to balance out the heating of the cables, which was a bigger issue using the split cable. The RM1000 has been running fine and the cables are cold (and flat)

Where you using the 600W for running both? If so it would have been to much power draw for the power supply to handle. The S3 that is having issues it might be good to try re-flashing/updating the firmware.
One 600W per S3, I wouldn't attempt to power 2 on a 600W - the mathematics just don't work out.
Didn't realize there was a firmware update already but I will give this a try, thanks!

What power supplies are you guys using to power your units?
Thank you for the tip - I will try it later today and definetly post results here. Wish me luck.. damn !
Can anyone tell me what to do when Miner Status page shows that BLADE 1 - 1 chip running, all other dead maybe?
Blade 2 ok
Tried to change power supplies, no luck any help?
I had a similar issue on one of the S3s that arrived today. One of the blades (2nd one) would not show on the status page of the web interface. I took the cover off, pushed all the connectors of the 2 cables between the controller and the hashing boards into their sockets, and that seems to have rectified it (at least for now). Maybe there is some workmanship/quality issue with these cables/connectors. (see my post a bit earlier on this thread).Blade 2 ok
Tried to change power supplies, no luck
any help?Good luck
Yeah it could be that. Will check asap
both user interface and "hard reboot".
Do you mean restore factory settings?
Do you mean restore factory settings?
Oh no, I didn't mean a reset.
It's just that many people confuse rebooting with restarting but you got it right.
If your miner always had this problem you could try to check for excessive use of thermal paste under the heatsink.
Members have reported mixed results after cleaning and reapplying thermal paste.

Yeah xDI just think it would have been easier for them to understand than trying to explain Bitcoin or using the word "
mining" but good luck.
Guys please help.

they are telling me that i have to describe the articles because they dont understand me. I told them they are electronic devices for mining bitcoins, and the girl didnt understand what it was.... i have to send an email explaining it.
ffs
