That's correct. You'll probably never need to use the other two.
When first announced the hash rate was suppose to be 504 GH and the extra pcie's were for overclocking above that.

Hi Bitmain,
Any word yet on updated firmware to resolve the beeping issue yet? Or a newer version of cgminer bundled with things? 3.12 seems to be six months out of date now, I'd be hoping there are some efficiency improvements by now...

+1 ...

I am getting HIGHER hashrate at BTCGuild as well...

S3 #1 ...Slightly OC - 225MHz...local @ 450GH ...pool @ 480GH...

S3 #2 ...Stock, no OC - 218.25MHz...local @ 442GH ...pool @ 452GH...

Go figure ...

But I should not complain about that...

$400?!?

I just spoke with UPS and they told me my shipment (qty 4) was going to be ~$109? That is, if they ever get here.

I wonder if the person I spoke with read it wrong - maybe $109 ea?

Look at page 4 of the Antminer S3 manual.  You need to power both groups, however if you don't intend to overclock, you may use 1 PCI-E connector per group
"One AntMiner contains  four  power  sockets, which are , formed into two groups as below. Only two sockets are enough to support one unit , but out one of the two sockets of each group must be each group must be  connected to 12V Power line. "

Looks like you supplied power just to one group, so the other one is idle.

Cheers

Ohh that's what I did wrong them i pluged two into one board not one into each makes sense now let me go fix that

If we are NOT overclocking the S3 then we can just plug in 2 PSU PCI-e Connections and leave 2 empty???


1 connection to each board in S3 is ok if not OC, is this correct??


Thanks

My B1 shipment has finally left Shenzhen, so probably tomorrow I can get my S3's

I'm only getting half speed out of both of them


I must've done something wrong here all I took them out of the box plugged them up and configured them


Am I missing something ?

Do I need to power both group of plugs or just one?

4 units (batch 1, first ~15min) arrived today and setup was a breeze.

gorgeous case, makes it feel like a solid consumer-grade product compared to the S1.

miner 1: 237.5MHz     477GH    (2.5hrs)
miner 2: 225MHz        417GH    (2hrs)
miner 3: 225MHz        450GH    (2hrs)
miner 2: 225MHz        413GH    (2hrs)

so far overclocking is a total grab-bag. looks like 2 of the miners lose hashrate at even a slight overclock, and the other has negligible improvement over stock. miner 1 will go for 250mhz tomorrow

I havent seen the invoice yet, but presumably it was about $400 CAD to import and receive all 4 miners.

My feelings exactly. Now everyone at UPS knows you have BTC miners.

If any of you are still concerned about processing/shipping times.

My two orders:

2014-06-30 14:04:06.0 AST Arrived Thursday
2014-06-30 14:29:50.0 AST Arrived today (two days later for a 25min delay in 2nd purchase)

In a lot of cases 'the early bird', does in fact get the worm.

I would hate to have waited. I can't image the queue. Sorry folks. I feel for you..

I'm in Batch 3 for 2 units at: 2014-07-06 06:08:57

I'm listed as unshipped at Bitmain, but my UPS labels have been created.

For Batch 3 folks, I used the track by reference number on the UPS site. No details for my address and no confirmation from MyUPS yet. Hope this gives some hope to Batch 3 folks!

lol

The DHL/UPS race is ongoing, currently DHL seems to be winning!

DHL
15    Processed at LEIPZIG - GERMANY    LEIPZIG - GERMANY    00:09    
 
UPS
Bangkok, Thailand    22.07.2014    5:53    Arrival Scan

Both were B1 orders sent on the 19th.

For anyone complaining about using the paperclip method to jump start PSUs, its what's recommended by corsair so.... The current over that signal pin is almost negligible.

Figured I post an update of my B1 orders to potentially help the B2 and B3 folks out.  I placed 2 separate B1 orders (2014-06-30 14:20:15 & 2014-06-30 20:32:58), which were marked as "Order Processed: Ready for UPS" on 19 JUL 2014 at 0408 hrs and 0216 hrs, respectively.  Hope this helps.

P.s. It says I should expect to receive them tomorrow, however, I don't buy that seeing how it was still in China not even 8 hours ago.

my two are at 212.5 and getting very good numbers at my friends office. I actually think something is wrong but in my favor>

 Note to btcguild  could you be over reporting s-3 hashes?

 I am getting 450 each right now at 212.5 clocks!  I will watch this like a hawk  as I should be doing 430 not 450.

Take it down to 212 and see if that helps.

Soooo after almost 4 days of uptime...

I got one S3 at 434 GH/S (do not handle any OC AT ALL and error rate is at 0.00136459441 %).

My second unit is at 503 GH/S (OC to 250 and error rate at 0.00154311841 %).

So one bad unit and one good unit. I wish I could fix the first one to be able to OC it too.
