Bitmain usually gives a little heads up by posting in their Twitter account. https://twitter.com/bitmaintech

Will stick to this, thanks for the info Wink

The last batch ...they gave 2 hour notice ...and according to others on this thread (looking at html) moved 10,000 units in 40 min

they really don't care anymore...and also the web site worked better when 1/2 the world was asleep and trying not to sign on

so to bitmain it is a win/win ..they sell out in 40 min vs 20 min and the www site does not crash completely and they save

big bucks not upgrading it

so be up at around 3am every nite or so to look at twitter ...that is about how much notice you may have 2 hours in the middle of the nite (in usa anyway)

me I work nites (na/na/na bitmain) and caught it in time

I ordered one L3+ yesterday but forgot to add the power supply Roll Eyes

Which power supply are you using for the L3+? I don't wanna pay the shipment costs twice. Or is it the cheapest way anyway to buy it directly from bitmain?

yOU CAN BUY IT FROM HERE, this is better than Bitmain PSU.

Looks nice, thanks!

Definitely looks like a good PSU option if you have 220v power. Doesn't work over 110v though. "INPUT:180V--264V"

Do you have any experience running two L3+'s off a single 1800w PSU? Each L3+ consumes 800w +10%, so do you have to underclock them to get two to run off a single 1800w PSU? Can you even still underclock/overclock them? I read somewhere that their firmware doesn't allow for it anymore, but I remember mining years ago with Antminers and I could underclock/overclock them as I wished.

You can still over clock the L3+ and under clocking is also possible.

In real life the miner takes around 800W with the APW3+ model. So just the miner runs probably a little less than that.

1800 should be more than enough to run 2 l3+. If you overclock them on 600 MH+ you should definitely run them on 2 PSU

I see. I was just curious because on the Bitmain website under the L3+ specifications it literally says "800W +10%", which wouldn't leave nearly enough room to run two of them off a single 1800w PSU.

Check out this video. It shows the actual power usage for an L3+ with 220v as well as 110v.

In the description of the APW3++ it says it only comes with 9 connectors, but in your video it clearly comes with 10. If it only came with 9, it wouldn't be able to power up two, so I guess it's a typo on their website?

Below is for the bitmain L3+++ PSU

I'd only run ONE unit per bitmain product anyway...2 units is tough imho and hell for 125 bucks why risk it....anyway that is what I"m doing with my L3's since april etc..with
no issues

I think the max on them is around 1600 watts so I think 2 units at 800 watts for an L3+ pushes it just a bit much

me ...not worth the risk for 125 bucks more just to get one per my units

my 2 satoshi's worth
