Adding $119 (cooling kit) and then another $130 (modified kit) to fit an S5 is an additional $250. That alone is almost the price of a C1. Too much work and money involved there just to save 200 watts per month.

You save 800watts (200wattsx4) and hash 0.6TH/s faster.

its not 200 watts per month its 200watts every millisecond Smiley

Your electricity is billed per KWH (kilowatts per hour) every second minute hour
hell if my C1 ran 800watts for the whole month I would be loving it...... that would be like 30watts a day hahaha wouldnt that be nice

this is one of many electricity calculators
http://www.rapidtables.com/calc/electric/energy-consumption-calculator.htm

Lets take a Antminer S5 for example
590w @ 1.15Ths
thats 14.16kwh per day x .11 per kwh (my cost)='s ($1.55)

from my experience every TH earns a bit over .01BTC per day
for 1.15THS (antminer S5) 0.01244386 BTC

now of course this depends alot on the pool you are mining in. Pool luck etc.
eligius pool and similar pools will pay the above
at slushs pool you could earn more or less depending on how many blocks they find
with 4.5 ths @ slushs  pool i make .011 every block wether the block takes 20mins or 24hrs So on the good days they find 7+ blocks on the bad days like today they only found 1 block in 24hrs horrible !!!!!
at eligius 4.5 THs brings in 0.05316924 BTC per day






Dunand didn't read the entire thread/situation, hence just throwing numbers out there, confusing everyone. I know what it cost to run an 800 watt device with my electrical costs at $.10 to 11 kwh. I'm still in the black and next month may even make more. This thread apparently just died out and either everyone's C1's have died already or they are running perfect. It is a little off to see no activity in a products thread that supposedly sold so many. Very strange. And you can bet the ones that haven't sold yet are running right now.

It is impossible to find 8mm/10mm hose in America. What would be the equivalent in standard on those dimensions? I know 8mm - 15/16, but what does 10mm come out to be on a popular coolant hose size?

3/8 inside diameter.

Thanks. Does anyone have a link to the right size tubing for these setups? FrozenCPU is out of the question of course since they aren't doing any business right now. 3/8 must be real close to 5/16 because on a box of Mastercleer tubing I bought a while ago (N8  8mm\10mm) right on the box is also said ID 5/16. I bet both tubing sizes will work, one just may be a bit tighter. Well, if anyone has a link to the correct stuff in the US, can you sling it in a response? Thanks.

hahaha bitmain needs to do alot of things Smiley understatement of the year
I would love to see them put out a water cooled S5 should be branded C2

Biggest thing bitmain has to do is straighten out their firmware issues

And why retire the S3 already when thats whats inside the C1 4 S3 boards

Its bad to retire a product before people have ROI on it

Unless you have really expensive electricity it will take a long time to pay off the additional.  I know myself I'm around 1.82 for the 800 watts.   250/1.82 (per day) is over 137 day's to pay just the kit's off.   That does not include shipping which if it's like when I got my C1 kit's off them is pretty expensive.   It's safe to say payoff is farther then I would go considering I can do it all with air for not any more expense on kits.

Bitmain should then provide a bundle with syscooling on a kit to lower the price.

Will there be another generation of water cooled miners? Some user's just can't run something in their homes that sound like an airplane taking off the runway. I'd love to see a more efficient water cooled model running at least 2+ TH/sec. This 800watt for 1TH is getting expensive.


Syscooling sells a S5 kit to convert to water cooled.  I personally don't think we will see a C2 since they went to selling a kit.   But I could be wrong.

Where is this kit? And to be honest, I've had so much trouble with my C1 pumps I doubt I would go for the kit anyway. Kind of gives me a sting when I think about it. I could see if the S5 had a lot more hashing power, but it's only 1100. There is a $15/month in electric costs if I were to buy an S5, but I can't have anything noisy running in the house anyway. Even if in another room, it just has to be quiet.

4x S5 =4,6TH/s

This cooling kit is for just one 1 S5? How many can it cool?

I needed to replace one of the water tubing , so powered down both C1's overnight & bought some new pvc, which arrived after a few days. One C1 powers up ok & starts hashing. The 2nd has a ethernet link light but no ip. Checked dhcp, the default ip of 99 and the static it had previously but nothing. Tried factory reset, the red blinks but no response from http or ping still. Does this have a serial boot console ? Is my only option a SD boot recovery image ?
thanks

I would suggest using a 2nd microSD to do it.  But I  would try the image on it.  If it's just IP problem that will reset it to  factory IP

Replacing the microSD fixed the problem. I wish there was a start/stop cgminer button, as trying to configure it while keeps restarting cgminer was annoying.

thanks again.

You can run 4 S5's from buying each one of those kits?

I don't like their site as far as ordering.  You can see the last so many orders.   On this I think we are seeing every order they have had, and I think they have only sold 6 of these kits.
