glad i refused to partake of bitmains repetitious bait & switch game albeit a bit late
I have to disagree. Out of ten S3 that I bought, one worked slightly below ad rates (~418 Gh), one worked at par (441 GH), one at ~465GH and the rest (seven) at 478GH.
I only applied updates until August, all machines were working nonstop with nary any interruption.
I am a very satisfied S3 customer.
I've got three, on the open market, so probably the worst of the bunch.
1 x 420 2 x 470, October firmware was great, even latest latest firmware, has caused me to no longer be able to run 3 on my one PSU, and one to never get above 430GH/s. Draws more voltage, by 150W over the three.
