hey guys,

So I`ve just under clocked my 2x s3 to 212.50 each and they are running at 425gh\s each. Also, at the same temps as before 41 degrees C. been going 4 hours now.

Frequency GHS(avg) Temps HW Watt (Kill-A-Watt) ASIC Status
---------- ---------- ------- -------- ------------------ ----------------------
250 487.26 41, 41 2 428 Chain#2, 1 "x" on the far right
237.5 423.55 39, 37 38 367 All OK
225 422.69 39,36 7 364 Chain#2, 1 "x" at 2nd position & 1 "-" at 8th position from left
218.75 403.58 40, 38 0 355 All Ok

For sh1ts and giggles, I did the 212.50 on my S3:

212.50 424.81 37, 34 1 362 All OK

This is at 1 hour mark. I think I'm going to keep it at 212.50, I like the low temp at this frequency.

and dont u prefer:

250 487.26 41, 41 2 428 Chain#2, 1 "x" on the far right

instead of:

212.50 424.81 37, 34 1 362 All OK

i mean, its 62,45 GH/s more, yeah temp is lower with 212.50 and also Watts but.. mmmm

Would be nice if others did the same as jamesc760 and posted their frequencies with how much GH/s they get, possible hardware errors and Watts Wink

I was a bit miffed to see this seller on ebay - taking away any chance of a re-sale - in some ways I hope it's not actually bitmain...

[edit] funnily enough - I no longer can find 'bitmain' seller on ebay... maybe they suspended his account?

Any word on B4 sales?

Id be will to bet they won't start until the 1st of next month at the earliest.

why? I would think they made solid money with the first four batches. So why not sell more?

I have a question about this just building on the previous post about my S3 pre-order from http://www.bitmainantminer.com/

I opened a Paypal dispute querying how legit this company is as its all bit suss (e.g. no order email confirmation, another domain registered under same address selling mining hardware, no experiences posted on forums about this place) although intensive google search reveals no complaints or signs of scam. These might be brand new and just collecting cash and then disappear but who knows.

Now I contacted them and asked them, how come they are saying they are selling batch 4 which they will ship out 30th July since you guys here on forums are saying that there is no pre-orders opened at all on batch 4 yet. I received this reply:

"We're selling batch 4. Batch 1 was shipped July 10, Batch 2 on July 20, Batch 3 is currently shipping. We're not sure why Bitmain has not released batch 4 on their website yet but we've been told it ships on/before July 30 and we've taken hundreds of orders for Batch 4. You can contact them to verify this if you'd like."

so I sent an email to Bitmaintech directly asking them about this seller, hopefully they will reply soon.

Any thoughts on whether any of this is the truth ? Are there other official mining hardware sellers here on forums that can confirm if Bitmain batch 4 pre-orders are open to them? Thanks in advance.

Most likely you will get your money via paypal dispute process. Buy directly from bitmaintech.com or from reputable sources.

Time to do my happy dance!!

My S3's from Batch 1 just arrived....now to go to work and get them up and running

I think it took me more time to take them out of the boxes than it did to set them up. Wink

I like the build, much better than S1's.

I'm going to let mine "soak" for a while at the factory setting and check them in the morning.

Right now they both are clocking at 218.75 and hashing at 440 & 450.

I love the guys who come into this forum and say DON'T MINE BITCOINS. Hello? This is a Bitcoin mining hardware forum, why do these type of people come here. Go Away!

Hello?

Some people have no miners and no btc, they are just bitter and angry.

your stock freq speed looks low, mine are at 440 ghs with stock clock.

Yes, out of all the frequencies so far, the stock at 218.5 seems to be the worst one for my S3. It is baffling. The other S3 I have runs great at stock, hashing at a bit over 440 GHs. It's like a box of chocolate, you never know what you are going to get. Or something to that effect.

Congrats now you will make 8usd per s3,money well spent huh?

Yes it was since I spent Bitcoin that I mined using S1's, which were bought using Bitcoin I mined using Chili's, which were bought with Bitcoin mined using Jalapenos, which were bought using Bitcoin I mined using stick miners, which were bought using Bitcoin I mined using the graphic card in my PC.

So yeah, it was money well spent Grin

I wonder if the unit is considering the target as out of range and mining at default while ignoring the value set.

It's strange how much difference in delivery there is considering they all came from the same place. According to UPS my S3's only spent 5 hours clearing "customs".
My boxes were not opened so I don't think they got much "inspection".

My B3 units have been stuck in "label created" mode for 2 days. Here's hoping Bitmain can get these shipped today.

I'm running out of time. Have to be out of town on a family matter this weekend and next week.
