They will ROI within 2.5 months as long as you ordered enough of them to beat the curve.

Someone needs to work on their math skills, if one ant is unprofitable then 1000 of them will be as well as long as the cost of running them /ant stays the same.



well it depends.

1 s-3 and 1 evga 1300 for your psu won't roi.

3 s-3's and 1 evga 1300 for psu might roi .

you did say as long as cost to run them does not change but  maybe the poster was thinking like I just wrote



I am running 3 S3 (237.5 mhz) on a single EVGA1300 using PCI-e splitters on two machines (so each has 4 connectors).
What was your wattage on EVGA1300 per S3 when running at 250mhz. I wonder if I have enough power to bump all three to 250mhz.
 390 watts on a seasonic platinum          I do 231.25+231.25+237.50 and pull 1110 watts on the evga 1300    .  you could try 243.25  I think that would have enough juice.
Don't you mean 243.75 ?

That's what you told me and what I'm using on 3 of 4 miners.
 yeah i did a  typo  

 243.75  is correct number. 


my 1300 watt evga was able to do 3 s-1's   and at freq 400 and 200gh the 3 pulled 1215 watts for 1 month  24/7 .  I then backed them off to 387.5 and 190gh pull about 1150 watts ran better using 1150 watts then 1215 watts
