FAQ

1. Will S3 support p2pool?

The simple answer is we will. Bitmain has a very sincere interesting with p2pool, and we have invest human resource into this area. Sadly our firmware may not be able to give you a firm yes that we support p2pool right now, but we promise we will contribute much more to the p2pool mining idea than most of those who support p2pool mining well already.

For the short term, our core developer has already been looking into the p2pool problem. We think we might be able to solve it in another week or two.

Hello Bitmain,

It's been 2 weeks since you made this comment - is there any news on a p2pool compatibility fix yet? Many of us are waiting in the hope that we can use your hardware with p2pool, if we can - then I'm sure p2pool users will buy more hardware from you.

Thanks & regards

i've been busy on other things and have not checked in here lately (tl;dr) but i'd second this comment by IYFTech

waiting some good news from you sir...
it'd be nice after S3 come out, we can taste the p2pool immediately Cheesy

Indeed - it would be nice to have some kind of update regarding this.

Give us some good news please Bitmain

Hi

A few questions to S3 users:
1) is it possible to place four of these in a small room (15-20 m2) without AC and work comfortably there during summer Wink

? (in other words, how much heat and noise these devices produce?)
2) I've got one Toughpower Grand 1200W - will it be enough for three S3's ?
3) how it goes with overclocking and how does it affect ergonomy (noise+heat and increase in power consumption - see 1) and 2) ) ?

thx in advance

Its possible to place four of them in your small room without any ac.
But make sure some ventilation is provided for outside air to enter and hot air to escape.
You may arrange some DIY stuffs to make it more efficient in cooling.
Noice will be very low since its equipped with two fans running slow.
Its a dual +12V rails PSU supporting 40A in one and 85 in another. It may not be a problem for connecting 3 S3-es, But its not possible for a 4th one.
The company says, "80 PLUS Gold certified – with 87-93% extreme high efficiency @ 20-100% load to cut down electric cost." If its true then its a good and efficient Power supply for overclocking since 20%-100% is its efficiency peak loads.

Thank you. What do you think about one of the r9270s and the antminer. i have another puter i can stick one of the r9270s in, but not 2

its better 750ti or get some r9 280x

I want to buy one of these. I have a corsair power supply that i run 2x r9270's on.

Could i use this for the antminer? If so would i still be able to use both the video cards or would that be over power. I don't know anything about electricity except not to dick with it.

Edit: corsair 1000

I would get a new power supply. Two R9 270's that are actually mining would run you around 500 (at most), but there're other components that you might want to take in a consideration. So, I would say that you wanna get a new power supply. For instance, Corsair RM850 (I run 2 S1's overclocked on this thing) will let run 2 S3's at a time, or if you want to be safe and give your psu a bit to breath, you could run 1 S3 overclocked. Hope it help.

Cheers

I ordered from Batch 3, I want to order some more, When will Batch 4 be available?

They'll probably wait to start shipping batch 1 before opening a new batch. I'm hoping batch 4 goes straight to their "ships within 48 hours" phase.

I'm not sure what to make of that, unless they are so confident that they don't need to do much marketing outreach.

They've managed to sell out 3 (?) batches with very little information. If I were BITMAIN, I'd see no need to ship reviewers anything.

Has anyone seen any reviews of the S3? I searched and didn't find any.

I would have thought that they would get pre-release versions into reviewers' hands well before shipping, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

EVGA 1300w is a nice PSU!!! plenty of PCI-E cables to power up S3. I used many EVGA 1300 so far and none have failed

I can't wait to try out my 1300w evga power supplies this is my first time using them so i'm looking forward to setting them all up. Anything new regarding batch 1?

waiting and it is hard to wait.

it is 730 am in china sunday morning.

I think we have a 30 hour wait to get shipping info.

In case anyone is interested, I downloaded Corsair's PSU Cable Guide and verified that the CX750M comes with 4 600mm (23.6") PCIe cables.

I knew that the PSU had 4 PCIe ports, but not whether they provided cables for each port (it's modular). Fortunately they do, so there's no new cables to buy to power the S3.

Now we just need Bitmain to ship Wink

Anger is a gift.

You are right. 1 CX750M will allow room to OC 1 S3. You could run 2 S3's at stock on one, but you would be right at the limit of the PSU.

Here's a quick question for Bitmain. Does the S3 come with any PCIe cables?

I assume that it doesn't and that in addition to the PSU we'll need enough cables for the target hashrate and corresponding power consumption. If overclocking to the max amount, that means 4 cables (2 per S3 unit), right?

Probably most PSUs come with the cables built in. But I have no experience with the newer modular units. I'm just trying to make sure I have all the parts pulled together to hit the ground running when the S3 units arrive.

the evga 1300 has 6 cables 4 singles and 2 doubles.

use 2 singles and 1 double for each machine and you will be fine.

Thanks for the info. But I was thinking about getting 2 CX750M units. They've got 4 PCIe connectors each.

I miscounted connectors in my previous post. My assumption based on other posts was that a single CX750M with all the PCIe connectors should be enough to over clock an S3.
