But the problem is that one card of one of S3's is not working at all!

I have checked everything power, cabling, anything I can imagine but it persist and not working at all!

Any ideas what should I do?

Did you try moving the cables to the other ports?

Otherwise, I would open it up and look for any loose connections. Sometimes things get knocked loose during shipping.

Yes, tried it and open it up as well but found no problem yet!
Checked the controller cable, changed it with the other one! But absolutely nothing happened yet!

What happens if you connect the cables from your PSU that worked with the 'good' unit just to the 'bad' unit? (checking the possibility that there is some issue in your PSU or its cables)

Cheers

Did all these and no change!

Thanks s lot for your attention

It happen during shipping with one of my S1, check for any loose capacitors or inductors on pcb.

there is no shipment problem seems on the device.
But I found a clue.
I connected control cable from main-board Socket-1 to Board 2 and from socket-2 to Board 1.

Now the other board is mining and it's temperature increased.

So it's obvious that there is some problem in mainboard and the Asic Boards and cables are ok.

Looks like its time to swap cables between your 'good' unit and the 'bad' one. Maybe its just a single faulty ribbon cable between the controller and the hashing boards.

Received my First order of 2xS3 Antminers today.
They are seems very professional.
Their weight was more than S1 Antminers.
They both setup very smoothly with an Enermax 1000 PSU.

Running about 8.2% under spec after nearly a day, not 7.7%

Appears that 2 of my 6 units are running under spec Sad

400 to 420 ghs-ish :|

yeah had that issue. try freq 212.5

you may get 430 and you will use less power.

vi /etc/config/asic-freq < you need that for ssh in

looks like freq 212.5 is good if you miner does not work well at stock or at overclock

ok, how would I setup the Antminer S3 unit if I dont have wired LAN ? e.g. sitting in the garage. Would I have to setup some sort of wireless access point and do it like that?

Alternatively, I have a spare PC in the garage running other stuff connected to my home network through wifi. can I use a crossover cable to connect to the S3 unit using the LAN port on the PC (I would setup static ip to be on same subnet as the S3).

thanks in advance!

EDIT: or do I just get something like this :

Wish I could buy one of these but as a poor university student I definitely can't. My tuition of $4,800 could definitely buy some mining power.. Lol

If you live in a dorm with "FREE" electricity, you might be able to work a deal with someone. You host their miners and you get a cut of the earnings. Grin

That'd be a good idea.. wish I knew someone, lol!
I'd host it for free even, I don't care!

You could always pick up an older miner from eBay or any of the forums. Since your power is free, efficiency is not that important.

When my son goes back to school in August, I'm sending him my S1's to run for me in his dorm room.

All I know for sure is that every 3-4 hours when I get the beep, its at the start of a new block.
Check the homepage of blockchain.info after hearing the beep.

They are legit. I would contact them or https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/waldohoover-101143 directly to see if they actually have any left on hand or if they have all been pre-sold.

Oh - I found no thermal paste residue on the units, unlike the early S1s. The S3 is a nice piece of work, all in all.

Other then working under the expected speeds they claimed at the time of pre-orders, yeah I agree.
