I am so drooling right now, i was hesitant to order on B1 but decided to pull the trigger, by than i was on B2, i am so kicking myself right now. i WANT my new toy NOW.....   Tongue

Trust me it gets worse after it is shipped. I am now eagerly waiting for it to arrive and I am concerned about someone stealing it from my front door. I had it happen in the past once but it was a small Amazon package with nothing important in it.

now its already worse than ever...
WAHHHHHHHHH JEALOUS!!!

btw, to power up this baby, we stick 2 pcie(the cables must be hot), or we can stick 4pcie(at least its cooler than 2cables)Huh?

Guys.... can I just say.... I mean can I just say that THESE THINGS ARE FUCKING SILENT.  OMG I LOVE IT!  YESSSS

Temp? Hashrate?



They are in a closet so they might run slightly hotter than some others, but my hashrate hovers just under 460 (between 455-457) and 41 degrees

Looks like i'm not so lucky with mine (436 - 434) atm, 1 hours 20 mins in. For how long are you hasing ? Mines are at around 38-40 degrees.

I wish everyone would stop talking about how great their S3's are. I'm still waiting for my Batch 1 order to ship.  Tongue
You are all making me jealous

The units themselves are all around 38-40 but the cables are definitely running hotter than the same setups did with S1's.
I will not be OC'ing these!

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.

Anyone know a good source for overclocking instructions for the S3?

use the same guide as in S1 except the file name is "asic-freq" and not "asic-freq.config".

I will try to OC them to 225 later.

35 min in => 428 gh/s and- 432 gh/s, i guess i had a bad start ... closing to the specs

Guys please use extreme caution when you start OC'ing these babies.  Bitmain all but said it cannot be done and I am three for three so far on the PCIE cables running pretty warm.  The units themselves are all around 38-40 but the cables are definitely running hotter than the same setups did with S1's.
I will not be OC'ing these!

My PSU's are a mix of Corsair 750's & Thermaltake 850's.  All cables are in good condition.

What is everyone else seeing?

Batch 1 still unshipped paid  2014-07-01 00:36:56 and others have allready received.  I feel like I got the short end of the stick here and should have waited and payed less for batch 2 as it feels they will get the same time as me. Hope im wrong. Cant qq to much since I was a BFL customer during jalepano preorder.

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  Cheesy. 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.



Sold! Thanks everyone!

447 but it's only been up for 20 minutes.  I think it's going to be right around 450 on this one. 
Moving my way through the other five now.
