Does anyone have the actual weight of an S3 in the box (not just what bitmain prints on the label)?

5.6 kg

Hummm, strange one here, updated two S3/B4's and two S3/B5's to latest firmware this morning, all went well and initially all four will hash at 500GH/s using 250M...
however after a while (30 mins or so) one of the S3/B5's always drops back to 458GH/s (from 500)..? There are no x's or -'s, as per screen shot...

One Seasonic X-1050 PSU for each pair of miners...

Any Ideas..?

Bought two more S3's from Batch 5 this morning but soon after got a message from Bitmain saying:

"You have bought B1~B3 of S3. We will issue you a 10% value coupon. However, you have the option to give up the coupon and apply a 7.7% refund..."

But I bought from Batch 5 - any ideas on this one..??

 1) yeah take the coupon and use it to buy more from batch 5.
 2) maybe batch 5 is going to issue coupons.
 3) did you only order from batch 5 no 1 ,2, 3 or 4?


lastly has anyone only ordered from batch 5?  if so did they get a coupon sent.


I have only ordered from batch 5, and have received the same message after my payment was confirmed.  I assume it is just a default message that they have up and pops up to anyone who orders, probably not getting that coupon, but I would assume they will start giving out coupons like they did for S1's eventually.

I bought from B4 and then B5 today, didn't receive any messages from the B4 order... I think you could be right, that it's a wrong or default message that's come up for some reason, as I don't have any coupons either..! :0)
