Hey Everybody,

So I just setup my newly received S3s from Batch 4. All work well except for this one particular S3 which keeps on showing hash rate of ~338gh/s. On further inspection from the Miner Status page, I found that Chain #2 is showing ASIC Status of "-o-o-o-o -o-o-o-o -o-o-o-o -ooo-o-o" & ASIC # as "32" which is different from all my other miners showing "oooooooo oooooooo" and "16" respectively.

Any idea what is wrong? Everything is running on stock, connecting 2 S3s to a Cooler Master V1200 Platinum (will eventually run 3 on this later all on stock but 2 for now)



First time I ever heard of this one. That chain 2 board sounds more like it's from an S1.
I would first try a reboot and if that doesn't help maybe you should pull the cover and check that board.
If both boards look the same you could try re-seating all of your cables or just make sure they're plugged in all the way.


Thanks for your help, already tried a reboot and replugged all the PCIE power cables, I will certainly follow your suggestion and check the board after leaving the S3 to run for a couple of hours. At first, I thought to myself "oh wow, 32 ASIC chips means I get double the output" LOL  Grin
