First time BM purchaser! Got my 8 S3s today, 7 run like champs around 441ish, although I have one that has a massive 25% HW errors, hashing at about 60-65% of what it should be doing. Any ideas?

I'll suggest to flash firmware (without preserving settings) from bitmaintech webpage and see how it goes ... 

So the firmware on the website is an update to what is already on the system?

For me it was. One of my units had a wrong firmware from factory and start working as advertised after I installed the firmware.
If you look closely to dimaze image you will notice that it show a non-zero value for BestShare but the S3 firmware show 0 all the time for BestShare so I guess he may have same issue that can be easily fixed by flashing the firmware without preserving settings.
