So... it was said that S3 will only need 2 PCIe connectors to operate, or 4 PCIe if it is overclocked.

We have now learned that overclocking by only 37GH/s makes it unstable to the point that Bitmain won't even do it or it could burn out. Does that mean at there really is no good reason to upgrade all PSUs to ones with 4 PCIe to replace S1 with S3?? Undecided

-OCS

There never was too good a reason to do that and now there is even less of a reason.

I would also recommend sidehacks server PSU breakout boards for powering antminer products.

@whonesta
This is really not relevant to this thread but I will still try to explain quickly.

Your DOA rate of shares is always higher on p2pool because of the way it calculates work.
This however doesn´t matter for your payouts, the only thing that matters is the relative DOA rate of you vs the average users´.

IF a share is a valid block but considered DOA due to timeout, it is still broadcast on to the blockchain and counts as a valid block, triggering payout for all p2pool users according to the sharechain.

Frankly, all that I just wrote can also be found in the wiki. Uninformed people that base their opinion on their knowledge (or lack thereof) like you are the problem of this society.

Would not be able to OC as there is only 4 PCI-E cables on that spec

though Scan say four in one place and 2 further down the specs ---
http://www.scan.co.uk/products/750w-corsair-cxm-builder-series-hybrid-modular-80-plus-bronze-1x120mm-atx-psu

There are only two cables but each cable has two PCI-e connectors for a total of four.

Whole pack of P2Fool douches in here lol.. you guys are morons waiting to be robbed.. GL and ignored

Actually, it is much less moronic to "trust" a decentralized p2p mining pool than your average centralized one. (Both in terms of network security and handling payouts)

Anyway, I support the motion to call you names if you are really bitching about people that want promised information about a product in the thread of that product.

Why is DOA shares SO high?

17% work loss AND 2% fee.. oh yeah this is the answer. Use Eliguis 100% FREE

Would it now be possible to run two Antminer s3's off a "Corsair Builder Series CXM 750W Modular 80 PLUS Bronze Certified ATX/EPS PSU"

http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00ALK3QRS

Spec is +12V at 62A http://www.newegg.com/global/au/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139051, and 4 PCI-E 6 pin connectors, which might be be tight for 2 S3's requiring 340W each at the revised spec at the wall and 4 PCI-E connectors each.

i see 2 pcie cables each with 2 jacks.

that is not enough unless you run the gear at 400gh and most likely that will overheat the wires.

I found a photo of the cables on www.newegg.com

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139051

also it has only 2

8 pin pcie jacks in the psu so you need adapters from the lessor jacks (a risk)

lastly the 12 volt rail rates at 744 watts so that is 372 watts per s-3 . my guess is this is not the best choice of gear for 2 machines

I have that PSU, and if its 340W / S3 for 444 GH/s without OC i dont see how you cant run two S3 with 1 Corsair CX750M. Its 680W total and maximun its 750

Because its worth it to do OC till 478 GH/s if you are lucky and you can? for just 34 more GH/s ?? or better not to? . I think i wont do OC because i prefer 444 GH/s @340W

Would not be able to OC as there is only 4 PCI-E cables on that spec

Isn't there a thread for P2Pool? Just how lonely are you guys, all day long talking crap about P2Pool. When(IF) P2Fool FW does come out I am sure you all will be the 4th or 5th to know. Gezz and to think I was going to try P2Fool, that is until I realized you had to become an annoying prick to use it.

Yes, there is. And it's well documented there as well. But as this is a Bitmain issue, p2pool users will post about it here, on Bitmains thread - especially as the deadline when Bitmain said the issue would be fixed has passed. So deal with it Roll Eyes

You're more than welcome to click the ignore button - that's what it's for.

You ignorant fucking twat.

was also amused as the twat word is not used much. good to see it in print.

One of my Aunties was well known for that word.

She used in in practically every sentence if there wasn't another swear word in it Cheesy

**edit** Come to think about it - didn't matter if there was lol

God bless her soul.

Adding additional heatsinks to the DCDCs should improve efficiency (by a small amount) and might make them more stable at higher currents.

I guess I will try that out once they arrive.

The worst thing happened. Here are my concerns:
So, no more overclocking like earlier said 504Ghs/390Watts not even 478 possible for all. No more overclocking fun.

On the contrary, we know the chip potential is there and we just need to cool the right components enough (tolerance and stability will go up with lower temps). Time to bring out the arctic winter, though the delivery time is a bit longer than id want on that one :/

Anyone appears "shipped" at Bitmain?

2014-06-30 14:11:35 --- Order Date

And NO SHIPPING notice YET!!

You'll probably see the status change from 'unshipped' to 'shipped' with the tracking information when you logon to your account at Bitmaintech's web site.

Bitmain said that batch 1 would be shipped 14 to 17 of July.

Cheers

Been Logged in for 2-weeks.. But I am not concerned, just full of anticipation, BitMain has always been on the up and up.
