Has any one thought of combining a couple of s3's together sort of like the C1 but not changing over the heat sink. I mean Sort of like how the s5 is done. Would it be worth it? I mean have one controller controlling all 3 s3 instead of three separate units?

I think the problem will be getting the controllers. I doubt bitmain has C1 controllers in stock anymore (I could be wrong, they may surprise me).

But if you do I think if I remember right will allow 4 blades so I think you could hook up two S3's. But by the time you add this I think it's just not worth it. S3 are getting dated I would try to use separate and squeeze out more profit instead of buying the new controller, unless your doing it for sake of modding and not based on ROI.

Was thinking it might be more efficient running 4 or more together than separate.

It would be more efficient to run 4 blades vs 2. The problem is the price of the controller if they even have them in stock on C1 controllers. When you pay say 150 per S3 (was 100 before price of btc went up). The 40ish dollars I'm guessing on controller just is a decent amount of the machines overall cost, even divided between the two.

Granted it makes it easier as 1 IP for the 4 blades.... but I think it's not worth it unless you happen to have controller laying around.
