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

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.

I have been keeping an eye on the new Rockminers using ASICMINER's new chip as their pre-order stats looked similar to these S3's. Not as good, but worth keeping an eye on.
Well we can probably check the R3 and RK's off our list of alternatives. At least for now. They are getting panned by new users.
High rejects, on the R3 and both high rejects and low Gh/s on the RK. Plus they suck more power and cost more per Gh/s than the S3. Assuming the S3's stats hold up.
Not sure the Asicminer chips will be very successful. And they could definitely use FriedCat's involvement in miner design.

asicminer chips have worse characteristics to BM1382 chip and you can see it in GH/w difference.
Whether they will be cheaper to deploy-I don't know, but i doubt it.

Am is blind or i can see that S3 is slower than S2 ? S2 is in another topic stated to mine at 1THS?
?? 
S3 its 478GH/s @366W
S2 its 1 TH/s @less than 1100W from the wall.
I think its way better S3 because of power .S2 its entirely diffent also different machine
Oh ok i didn't know that i guess the manufacturer is different than?
No... same manufacturer. The difference is in the ASIC used in each machine.
By the way, you forgot to mention that the S3 is cheaper, too.
S2 - 1TH/s @ 1100W is $1625
2 S3s - 956GH/s @ 732W is ~$900
yeah, didnt think it was necessary to talk about price hehe. its a nonsense to buy S2 having S3
This is not an exact comparison. You have to add the price of either two CX600-750 or one EVGA 1300 to run two S3s, bringing the price to $1050 (still cheaper, of course). Besides, S2 is here and S3 is an unknown, but expectedly good commodity. We just don't know yet if S3 will work well, very well or excellent. In addition, S3 has the possibility of upgrade to 1.8-2TH that is "expected" in July-Aug.
yeah, well in my case, i had 2 Corsair CX750M from my S1´s so i didnt have to buy new PSU´s. Will just replace S1 for S3 but yeah, if i want to buy more S3 in the future, i will have to buy more Corsair

Edit: Typo-S2, not S3 is upgradable to 1.8-2Th

Just spotted this on an ebay auction. Looks like the heatsink arrangement is different, unless they have added those on the chip to help venting heat with the cover on.
Edit : Just spotted the other heatsinks (as with S1) through the fan grill.

The image was already out the same day of the announcement by BitMainTech.
Bitmain already said the heat sink is different but, it will be compatible with S1 to upgrade.
More DC-DC converters are there now, we may easily add additional miniature heatsinks over them.
As per the image its a rectangular block instead of the S1's square block.
The fan is placed to the bottom end. When the cover is placed and the voltage controllers are
at the top chances are there to concentrate hot air over the top side of the box.
Cool, is it a better image from the press release? Would like to see a bit closer up!

Can't wait to get my batch one order!
So I am currently in the works of a 1400 watt power supply with 6x 6pin pci-e cables which I can offer at a good rate wondering if anyone would have interest in them? I am getting the sample unit delivered sometime around the 16th. The price on them will be about $150~ish If i'm able to get enough crowd funding for 2-500 units.

Buuuuuuuzzz. S3 is the next Gen successor of the S1,....an S2 is an entirely different machine.

Better deal: http://www.amazon.com/Linksys-Powerline-Network-Adapter-PLSK400/dp/B006JG5S6U
comes with built in 4 port switch
comes with built in 4 port switch
That's not gonna work for a 240v setup.
Look for a European version of the adapter. I've saw one in an apartment a few months ago with a standard western European 2-prong plug. Should be able to find it on one of the European Amazon sites.
