One for me!
I need it like I need a hole in my head, but I can't resist. At least winter is coming. More BTC subsidized heating!

Gee, I can't see why you guys are having any thermal issues at stock clock speeds. My 3 have been running continuously at 2.4T in the quite warm (90F+) mining area of my basement. With 1 fan, though the handles are pointing outwards. I hate to mention this, I'm only trying to help, but you guys are peeling the plastic from both sides of the thermal pads before use??? 

I had to ask since my three have been amazingly reliable and robust so far...
The air coming out the center is as hot as a BIG blow dryer, and the chips are too hot to touch, so I'm wondering about longevity, but as long as they hash for six months I'm fine.

Only one for now. It's near impossible to find power supplies with 8 independent pcies, e.g. separate cables all the way back to the ps.

My 3 tubes are hashing  at  196 to 210 GH/S per board for 2.45TH/S total at stock clock, with 1 stock fan.

Am I just lucky, or is it something I've done differently?

Well, I'm not sure, so here are my observations.

1. I think assembly technique is important. I applied the thermal pads to the heat sinks first, then made sure there were no air bubbles under the pads. Then I used an impact driver to tighten the screws in a random pattern so as to equalize board contact with the heat sink. I have the fan blowing "in", and faced the handles "out" as some others recommended.

2. I used high quality power supplies providing at least 250watts per blade.

3. I placed the tubes on a wire rack shelf providing airflow to all four sides.

4. I'm using Slush's pool with bfgminer 4.7 as a proxy. I know it should work fine without the proxy, but I hesitate to mess with success.

Got my 2 tubes running on 1 controller, no problems, no hiccups, no issues at all.
Getting a steady and stable 1.6T since last night on poolside on Slush. Sorry, my kill-o-watt died so I can't verify draw at the wall.
I'm using bfgminer 4.7 as a proxy, but I hear Slush got it working w/o a proxy so I'll have to try that.

Otherwise, I LOVE this product. The engineering on the kit is far superior to the usual BTC world crap. The tube concept with one fan and interlocking heatsinks is great and very efficient for cooling. And I really like being able to run 8 tubes from one controller. The other good choice was using a thermal pad instead of paste, mainly due to the apparent lack of workers skilled in thermal paste application techniques.

So kudos to friedcat, and kudos to canary for running this GB and superbly handling the daunting task of packaging all these units, and so quickly!

Now if only AM could improve efficiency a hair, they could give Bitmain some tough competition.

One more for me canary,

Thanks!

1 for me too please!

Got my two last evening.
Both hashed all night about 440gh/s-450gh/s @pool.

No problem with beeping, they're in the basement.

Same here!

The site says sold out of rockets. Any idea when they will be available again?

I'm running cgminer on an ARMv7 linux (ubuntu)  platform.

Help!
One of my habbies died this morning. They were both happily hashing away for days @825 when I noticed that one of the habbies stopped hashing and went zombie. Tried resetting everything but same result. Tried turning hash clock down to 500 and same result. The board powers up fine, but when it's asked to hash it appears to go through a reset, over and over, each time cgminer detects it and tries hashing.
Anyone have any ideas for me to try?

*edit*
I'm getting this error from cgminer:
[2014-06-19 17:03:44] ERR: Asked to memcpy 0 bytes from usbutils.c _usb_read():3065

Oops, never mind.
Just had a loose PCI-e connection.

These things are built like tanks, aren't they?
 

I'm happy with mine doing 900GH/s at the pool, especially for the $1500 shipped price I paid.
At that price I might be tempted to "roll the dice" again, but certainly NOT for $1750+ shipping.

In order for the wireless to work properly, I found that you must put the wired IP on a different subnet than the wireless.
Since my home wireless router is 192.168.1.1, I had to change my ant's wired IP from default of 192.168.1.99 to 192.168.2.99.
This works flawlessly for all 16 S1s that I have using wireless connections.

Mine's been hashing fine since I got it a few days ago, but even with tweaking the blade freqs, I can't get over 900GH/s poolside.

I think it's on a different subnet like mine was. I couldn't find it on my network so I reimaged the SD which defaults back to 192.168.1.134.

I got my miner today.
It's one of the black ones with 4 fans that sounds like an old 707
It's loaded with dust on the fans and blades...obviously "well tested", but it hashes at 960GH/s and it cost me $1500 delivered, so yeah, that's OK with me.

The only problem I had was not being able to find the ip on my network, so I reflashed the SD and that did it.

I also had this problem when I wasn't getting enough air flow across the board. Make sure the tubing's not contacting the board preventing cool air from getting to the components.
