You guys are lucky.
I'm in Singapore and my chips are running between 58-63C depending of the time of the day....

Gotta love natural Canadian cooling. 
And it isn't even winter yet. If you're wondering, temps are showing 0 because S4's temp sensors don't register below 20c.

Lol, same thing here, I'm also in Canada and got the s4 out of the house! The heat was not much of a problem compared to the noise, but hey it's now keeping my lawnmower and all-season tires warm, ready for Spring.
Hi there,
I have a defect fan on my S4. Do you know where on the web I'd find a compatible one, same specs?
In the meantime, my S4 won't start mining because it detects a 0-RPM fan. I tried giving it a manual spin and the S4 started hashing. Do you know how I can tell the S4 to mine even if there's a missing fan, without giving it a spin?
I sent an e-mail to Bitmain but thought it would be faster to get one if I order on the web with priority post or something like that. I'm in Canada.
Thanks!

I got the fan specs from bitmain sometime back as I wanted to look for quieter fans. These are the specs. http://prntscr.com/56s4gz
Thanks a lot for the information! I'm waiting for an answer from Bitmain and looking at compatible fans in the meantime.
And for compensation of the lost mining time...
Speaking of which, has anyone actually received compensation in the form of BTC from bitmain?
I did, last week! For one s4. It was a nice surprise.

HELPPPPPPP MEEEEEEEEEE PLEASE, i have the same problem. I need to know if i can solve this problem.
Contact support and ask for a PSU RMA.
So my batch 2 unit wouldn't work out of the box. The display was showing the IP as 127.0.0.1. After a bit of messing around, I figured the SD card was to blame and that a reflash was in order.
To anyone else that gets this, you can usually clear it by simply pressing and holding the reset button [on the LCD].
That didn't work in my case, I attempted that twice. Absolutely had to reflash the SD card.
Fixed
Hi, I need to know how to reflash with SD card. Please explain if I would appreciate the help
You'll need to take the SD card out of the S4 and flash it using a full image on a PC. Do you have a laptop with an SD slot or something to write to the card?

So, how cold is it outside where you are?
0c right now. (32f)

Got a batch 2 S4 delivered today, and it killed my batch 1 S4 (no, not really but read on..)
So my batch 2 unit wouldn't work out of the box. The display was showing the IP as 127.0.0.1. After a bit of messing around, I figured the SD card was to blame and that a reflash was in order. Since bitmain doesn't offer a full image to download (why don't you, bitmain?), I had to power down my batch 1 S4, pull it's SD card, create an image from it, and flash that image to the new S4's card. Once that was done, the new batch 2 S4 worked as it should. I'm not sure why it didn't work in the first place, since bitmain had obviously tested it judging by the accumulated (very little) dust in the miner.
Now, for my B1 S4... About 30 seconds after the fans calmed down from their initial spin-up, I was treated to a smoke show like to other. A thick stream of Magic Smoke plumed out of the B1 S4's PSU for a good 10 seconds, before going out with an extremely LOUD pop. That loud pop was a short bad enough to trip the 30A 240V breaker that miner was connected to.
To add insult to injury, the event seems to have killed the on-board NIC on a PC that was connected to the same circuit, so that is also out of commission for now.
Alas, my dreams of hashing at 4TH/s went up in a plume of Magic Smoke. Hopefully bitmain will get a new PSU out to me soon, but I'm doubtful. I contacted them about replacing my PSU the day the offered replacements, but I haven't gotten an email back yet. Has anyone received their new PSU yet?
Fortunately I had another S4 to get an image from, if anyone runs into the same issue let me know and I'll upload the image.

Actually the duct work would be above our head in the garage tied into the existing duct work that feeds all the vents in the house. It will be a lot easier than one might think. The duct work is already visible in the garage to the eyes. So it doesn't matter to me if it's seen or not. No duct work will be visible in the house. Using existing duct work to feed the heat to the house.
With existing duct work, it's going to make it so much easier. A real opportunity to get even more payback.
Hmmm... To order more S4s, or not.. Coupons are making my trigger finger itchy, but then... S5..
Looks so. And it will appearantly be not-so-expensive (keepeng in mind the amount of the discount for S4)...
BITMAIN Promotion plan for S3+, S4 and C1
$50 coupon for S3+, $400 coupon for S4 and $50 coupon for C1 are issued to customers who ever bought miners from BITMAIN or our official distributors First - I found 9 coupons for S4 under my account, but 0 for C1 - it looks strange.
Second - please let me use all that 9 coupons at a time! At least 3 of them!
You know it's never going to happen. Lol. And I bet the moment the coupon expires, S5 will magically appear for sale....
