How can you get ROI with this additional cost?  There is no import or duty in USA

Mine at Jonny's Pool

When you setup the fixed address, did you do it at your router by mac address, or on the S3?

EDIT: Never mind... I re-read what you wrote.  Since you included the comment about setting up the DHCP server, you obviously didn't just put a static IP in the S3.  Duh... sorry about the stupid question back at you.

Yes by MAC @ your router..

Well after 5 hours of testing all I have to say is BLAH!!  Overclocking even with 4 PCI-e connections does little.

218.75 Clock:

miner 1 / 444.95 @ Miner / 463.36 @ Pool
miner 2 / 427.78 @ Miner / 432.18 @ Pool
miner 3 / 443.52 @ Miner / 454.49 @ Pool
miner 4 / 410.05 @ Miner / 410.58 @ Pool  --- Indicates 1 chip as " - "
miner 5 / 427.41 @ Miner / 413.85 @ Pool

250 Clock:

miner 6 / 464.32 @ Miner / 479.65 @ Pool  --- Indicates 1 chip as " x "
miner 7 / 450.27 @ Miner / 417.84 @ Pool

will continue to mess with timeouts to see if anything works as for now not getting a stable 441 GH/s, but on a few. ;(

Hope B2 is better!



I hear ya.  I left mine at 250 overnight and checked when I woke up a few minutes ago.  One miner had a "-", the other had 2 "x".  The one with a "-" only averaged 387GH/s from the miner stats, and pool stats (my local p2pool node) showed just about the same.  The one with 2 "x" did better.  It showed an average hash rate of 454GH/s on the miner and about 450 on my node.

I've set them back to stock clocks and will see where I am in 8 hours or so.

By the way, I'm driving the S3s on an EVGA G2 1300 with 4 PCI-e connections to each miner.

Ok so i`ve done that added my set up but its still not mining Sad



You also need to add the details of the pool you are mining with and make sure the miner is on the same LAN that your router is connected to which has a WAN connection.

Yes check this i remember the first time i had an S1 and my lan was 192.168.0.x instead of the required 192.168.1.x

Outer Heat Sink Mod

Cleaned and Reapplied Thermal Compound



Reinforced Springs for better contact of outer heatsink (Lucky find in my parts collection)

http://www.ebay.com/itm/10-pcs-Leveling-Extruder-Springs-for-Reprap-Prusa-Mendel-3D-Printer-/261254785748



Brought my temps down 6 degrees (46/47 -> 40/41 and seemingly stopped all HW errors... also running at 225 instead of 218.75..
I chose to work on this S3 because it was performing worse than my others, prior to mod I had 26 HW errors after 5 hours @ 218.75..
Time will tell, but at the moment its my star performer!


btw,
is it safe, if the thermal paste is around the feet of the chip..Huh

if it is anything like the S1, make sure you click save, then click save and apply and wait for the page to stop loading completely. if it doesn't start mining within 20-30 seconds, reboot the miner and it should start.

I am looking to sell one of my S3 that arrived today. I only want to keep one. It is still in its box and can ship out in the next three hours. I am looking for offers above 0.8BTC. You pay shipping.

Above is the one i have opened. I will have a video uploaded soon on the device.
That's one quick turn around for profit mate.
Also, how did you not have to pay extra $ for import tax, did Bitmain value the 2 less than $1k?

Not sure on value i can't see anything on the outside of the box. UPS never asked about value etc. No hold ups. I only ever wanted one but made a impulse decision for the two just after sales opened.

I will have a video up of the one i received soon.
