Well the D3 disappeared soon after I found the link. L3+ was still available for couple of days but then that link was sold out and it reappeared in general shop at lower price for $2040 instead of $2280.

I have been looking wrong at D3 data on Nicehash, it was showing £1.5k/month but that was the earnings for the last month when the payouts were better. at the current rates it's £300-400 per month. It's not bad considering relatively cheap purchase price but taking power consumption in account I don't think i will buy another one for now. L3+ seems like a better bet.

I was wondering why the APW3++ power supply that came with L3+ had so many extra cables, it turns out that it is designed to run 2x L3+ from one PSU if you do not overclock them. Speaking about overclocking i did try to push my L3+ a bit further. At +30% (500MHz) it was still running but getttinbg a lot more hardware errors . Instead of usual 0.00XX% it was more like 0.5XXX%. So I tried 25% increase at 481MHz and that seems fine without giving excessive errors and ~630MH/s . Temperature has gone up another 3C to 65C but then again it's warmer outside as well and L3+ is sitting on the loft.
