Topic: ANTMINER S3+ Discussion and Support Thread - page 464. (Read 710164 times)

Hello everyone,

When we were doing the first mass production, we found that not all of the S3’s DC/DC module could be stable enough to support the 478GH/s speed. After long time testing, all of the S3 run stably at 441GH/s, which however is 7.7% less than the 478GH/s we have announced.

So we decide the final specification of ANTMINER S3 here:

Hash Rate: 441 GH/s or more
Power Consumption: about 340 Watt at the wall when running at 441GH/s
Power Efficiency: 0.77 J/GH on wall
Power Supply: 12V DC
Size:  331 mm x 137 mm x 160 mm
Fans: Two 14038 fans mounted on both front and back ends.
Operating Temperature: 0 °C to 35 °C
Complied with: FCC / CE
Network Connection: Ethernet

Many of the customers may be lucky to find that their S3 can be overclocked to 478GH/s.

We apologize for this incident. We offer two options for customers:

1)   10.0% worth of coupon for the B1~B3 customers. This is the default option. (10% based on what you have paid for the B1~B3)
2)   7.7% worth of refund. We will release a function on our official website for application of this option. If you have bought from our resellers, please contact them and provide your Bitcoin address.

Shipping schedule updated:

Batch 1: The shipping will be finished in 14th and 17th.
Batch 2: It will be shipping out between 18th and 19th.
Batch 3: It will be shipping out between 19th and 22nd.

Allright, i feel like i will try to push one of mine to 225 mhz... let's see

where do they sell power supplies like that? Is it dell? did it come with that board also?

Yes they are static from the factory at 192.168.1.99
NO DHCP enabled.

Are you running two S3s of that RM 1000?

My casing are cold/warn and my cables are cold (using a Corsair RM 1000)

Running 430's on both but very cool and quite. PCE cables very cool

I received all 40 S3s a few hours ago, but it looks like I miscounted my orders and have 1 remaining AntMiner S3 for sale  . I'm heading to the UPS store to ship everything in about an hour, so if anyone wants to purchase the last one - It's for sale on Amazon or I can accept 0.9BTC directly. Shipping to US only (free). PM me if interested.

better have a big fan shooting at ur miners
so it'll cool of the case itself and the cables(ofc)

i doubt that the case will be really cool, i think it'll be warm
mine at B2, cant confirm my statement HAHAHA

Yea I think that's a very good guess.  I am going to get some additional fans moving air around them so hopefully that will cool them down a bit.  Again, they aren't HOT but they are warm.

As long as they pull less current trough the cables than the S1s overclocked then I highly doubt it, though I guess maybe the S3 defies the laws of physics!

edit: The simple explanation might just be that on the S1 that used a open design some of the airflow was hitting the cables and hence cooling them, now with the S3 there just is no airflow on the cables and they run warmer.
