Hi,

I received my A3 and I have only one board working! did you face that?
Any idea how to fix this?

If you cant fix it by the time you get it back from bitmain surely it'd be unprofitable  Embarrassed

Just got my A3 in, nice piece of work by Bitmain! Similar to an L3+ in build. First impression is that it runs more quiet than the L3+ and definitely more quiet than an S9.

What are current Profit per day on these things? Diff has already doubled.

Vosk did a Youtube video on his that he received yesterday and said $480USD.  I'm curious to see a daily breakdown of profit over the next week or two.
BTW Gotminer....Mark Baum quotes rule. Best movie ever.

Lol ... Yeah I noticed your forum username a month or so ago.  That movie is one awesome quote after another.  Love it!
No doubt. I worked in that world for decades. I worked on that Lehman trading desk. After living through that debacle, I feel the same as Ben Rickert in the movie. Hence.....the screename.

Yes I did see that. Good ole Vosk. Good dude. Calculators are just general yardsticks but the calculators are showing around $380.00 PD current. Should be much less by sundown....

Waiting for my A3 - DHL - status from Monday 22 Jan "Shipment information received".
How long do you think before I get it?
You'll get an SMS with URL to pay for import duties (400-something euro). After that 4 to 5 days to your front door.

Originally, UPS tracking had a scheduled delivery date as 1/25 (I am in US). Now it got changed to "Scheduled delivery information is not available at this time. Please check back later." Sad

Last activity was the below. I guess this might be the case for many here?

plug some appliance like a hair dryer or hair clipper into each outlet
and turn them on.

now go flip your breakers one by one if they are not labled until one or both appliances turn off

if both turn off on the same breaker you know they are on the same circuit.


also rember household 110 or 120v are not rates for CONTINUOUS draw of 1500 watts,  you should try to split the 1500 watts across two circuits, which should be easy for you anyways using dual power supplies

Hey, I'm in USA with 120 volt power.... Now bitmain product says 1186 watts but now I've heard it needs 1450 watts....and I have the Bitmain AWP3++ (1200 watts max)

So I was planning to buy to buy a https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EON40CS/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1 600 watt PSU + https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01DV1Z22K/ref=ox_sc_mini_detail?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A1AMUYYA3CT6HJ an additional 2 6pin PCIE cables.



My question is, It appears the PSU with 600 watts comes with 2 PCIE 6pin connections, do you think I can add a 3rd and power a single one board with that power supply unit???


Also, If I'm in the USA on 120 volts should I use two separate wall outlets to plug in both PSU or is the single outlet fine?



Just want to make sure that the a3 will work with both PSU units before I buy that 2nd one with 600 watts.


Thanks

NO ! NO ! NO ! NO !!!
Please know exactly what you're doing before bricking your miner.

You need either a 1600W power supply on a 220V circuit or a 2000W+ power supply on a 110V to run the miner.
You can theoretically power each board witt a single 600W P/S that has 3 PCIE 6 pin connectors, but them you'll need 4 power supplies (for 3 hashing boards + one for controller)
no matter what you do , you can not connect multiple different power supplies to same board !
Preferably , you should run on a 208/220/240V circuit.

unless you know what you're doing, you may also have the risk of blowing your electrical circuits as well as getting your house on fire !!

you must be careful and know what youre doing !



HuhHuhHuhHuhHuh?

I don't have a 220 volt...

Why wouldn't 1 power supply APW3++ (1200 watts) with 3 pins-->1st board, 3 pins--> 2nd board, and 1 --> control + a second psu plugged into the same wall outlet or another at 120 volts with 600 watts do 3 pins--> 3rd board??
I dont see a problem with that, just make sure you use the same psu for each board

Ok, now on my wall outlet there are two plugs. Do I use both or do I plug it into another outlet with 2 plug options 5 feet away along with the first?

you need an electrician to look at this. Those outlets could be wired in series. You need a dedicated line with the correct gauge wire. This is a lot of wattage to be pulling through an unknown wire size. You can easily start a fire.
just flip your breakers with stuff connected to each outlet to find out if they are on the  same wire
you definitely want to have both power supplies on different circuits

Well I don't have an electrician.... Plus is 1800 watts really to much to be pulling on 120 volts?

That's why I'm asking do I plug both into same outlet and get lucky or do I plug one into an outlet and another 5 feet away???/?


read my post you dont neen an electrician to figure out what outlet is connected on the same breaker

and yes 1800 watt on 110v 15 amp is a max of 1600 watts or so
now if your outlet is 110 you have 2200 watts or so .

but remember you can only safely pull 1400 or so watts. from the 15amp and 1700 or so from the 20 amp

all this asumes they are on different circuits


ok so I won't be pulling 1800 watts ever because people say the antminer a3 is only using 1500 Huh

Also, how will I know I have 15 amp max or 20 amp?

Plus how do I know I have different circuits?
