FYI

There are few venders selling Bitmain Antminer S4 as NEW or Unopened or USED.  Please make sure the sellers can provide you the original purchase information and any warranty status information. 



Should we interpret the fact that you're ignoring my question as bitmain has no plans to fix the broken firmware?

I think we should ask smitty over on the other forum.

Where does he post?

Fucking ridiculous that we have to depend on the good will of a user to fix a company's broken software.

All their ressources are to produce more efficently and cheaper or to mine, not in customer support.

Not to mention Bitmain could just come out and tell us who (or who not) to buy from instead of going all abstract as usual. All it was missing was some suggestive emoticons to fit the bill as of late.

Jesus, the EVGA 1600W is worth nearly as much as the S4!

I had the psu before I got the miner. It was in a PC build I did last year I took it out when I sold my Titans and got 980's. I'll open up the S4 when I get home to see which one I have. I hope its the pci-e one then I can re purpose the psu I have if not Ill sell it and get the one I need. Right now it's mining away at stock freq and haven't given me any problems so far.

Bitmain, when can we expect a new firmware update to re-enable voltage control? The last update killed voltage control. I'd use the previous Oct 16th if I needed it right away, but the latest firmware is much more stable. With summer coming I'll be wanting to underclock and undervolt, along with many others I'm sure.
 
Please make sure that all 4 hash boards respond to voltage settings, previous firmware only controlled 3 of them while the forth was stuck at 0750.

Bitmain wants to be fail and not profitable our S4's. DONT USE LATEST FIRMWARE !

i am planing to share this solution step by step guide in here when this donation adress reach 4 BTC.

Power wise, yes.  S4 uses 1400W PSU.  the connector wise, please open the case and compare.  There are PCI-E version and the Round Screw connector types out there.



Will a evga 1600w 80 plus platinum work as a replacement for the S4. My S4 hasn't died yet but I have the power supply already from a past pc build as backup. I dont mind it sitting outside the case.

Does anyone know what batch is coming from ZoomHash?  At $499 (got a 10% off coupon) I couldn't resist getting one!

It won't fit inside - which you seem to ok with - and depending on which batch of S4 you have you might need custom cabling. Open it up and you'll see.

For anyone else looking at PSU replacement alternatives, 1x of the IBM 2880W PSU's w/ breakout boards can power 2x S4's.  Most people w/ S4's are already equipped for 240V, and aren't concerned about noise (which are the only downfalls of these PSU's).  Check the thread in my sig if you're interested in North America, or J4bberwock's thread for EU/bulk purchases.
Bonus: They are 80+ Platinum rated, and already have fans fitted unlike the DPS-2000BB.

Plug a different psu to just the beaglebone, and turn it on. It should boot up normally but obviously not hash if the boards aren't plugged.
