So that's where the 38GH per unit is going!

Allright, so if one kept a lets say window open there shouldn't be a problem?

mines on the move again :-) yey

exactly, but i edited the initial post (it was 5% at some point, but 2% now)
i see only ~6gh difference between eligius and btcguild, but with 9gh fee difference: advantage eligius or at least a draw.
btcguild on my best machine generates gobs and gobs of discarded shares, with five to ten times less discarded shares on eligius.

Last I checked the complete kit w/breakout board, cables and dell 750w server PSU was $70 plus $15 shipping for up to 3 kits.

What was that website selling server power supplies with PCI-e outputs? Turns out my 750W E-VGA can't handle two S3s.

One of mine runs at 423 gh/s at 40 degrees C on a ocz 1000w gold PSU.  My other runs at 441 gh/s , Both, like yours at 218.75mhz.

This is seriously something to be concerned about.  WTF is Bitmain thinking?  Have they done this in the past?  Why now?  I didn't pull the trigger on the first three batches because it was a preorder (not in stock or whatever...) and because the prices were not right for me.  However, this "idiotic" labeling on the box is a good enough reason not to purchase directly from Bitmain.

Currently testing out my S3's finally having time after traveling.  Was great to see BITMAIN at North American Bitcoin Conference.  A special thanks to Yoshi for talking to me and showing off S3.

Can anyone give me the configuration for underclocking? I need to use one of them underclocked until I get a PSU situation figured out.

You might be better off running a cat5 to the garage and a mini hub for the miners

or

You can fire up the built in WiFi

I think that everybody who has this situation ought to open it up and inspect the boards.

Bit unwise to make it capable of being hijacked if any old person can shell into the unit and play around, they'd be caught pretty quickly. More likely the traffic you're seeing could be from the ntp daemon.

the significance of this is totally unclear to me
BTCguild has 5%(edit:2%) fee, which is 9GH equivalent. So, what's the advantage?

dont burn yourself up man be careful <3

Just got my two S3's in today, and plugged them in and set them up.

They are both configured to run at 218.75 Mhz from the factory.

For whatever reason, one of them runs at 425 Gh/s and the other runs at 408 avg. The 5s averages are higher. Maybe it will be better when they are "broken in"  

I put them both on an 850W power supply I had, but they both turned off, and started hashing at 26 Gh/s. Then, I put each on it's own 800W power supply, and that seems better. Only using 2 PCIE connectors so far.

Might be the voltage on the power cord coming from the garage might have dropped due to the 100 ft length...

Running out of power in the basement....

Has anyone run a network sniffer on these things while they are running. There is a lot more network noise than the S1's made. I am not talking about share request/response, I am talking about calls to hosts and socket connection responses(causing extra beep sounds), kind of like a bot.

I have the gift of always thinking the worst of people. Would it be possible a % of the hash power is utilized/reserved for an internal process named "4bitmainpool"?

Maybe its some debug/diagnose thing they forgot to take out?

I first used Fiddler to sniff but setting up a Unix VM for better tools now.

Imagine, what if they could take 2-4% hash power from every S3 miner on-line.............

They have a firmware listed on their site but I'm not sure whether it's an update or just a copy of what's on the S3 now.
Here's what's listes.

Name: antMiner_S320140711.bin   Desc: first version of firmware for antminer S3

Still waiting for my B1 order so I can't tell you if this one is newer than the original.
