I am running 2 S5s and an SP20 off the same circuit in my garage and it keeps tripping the breaker.
What underclock settings should I use until I can get a dedicated circuit for my mining?

On my SP20 right now I'm at .66v (max .665) and 188W per loop.. Getting steady 1.23 TH/s

On my S5s right now I'm at 312.5M Frequency .. Getting steady 1.15 TH/s

What adjustments can I make to keep that circuit breaker from tripping w/out giving up too much hashing power?

Wow , are you on an old fuse system or 10A?

On a 20Amp fuse I can run 4 SP20's @ 600-700 watts each and 2 S5's at stock speeds with the fuse only getting warm.

Check your wiring.
2*650W+2*590W=2480W  2480W/120V=20.7A  Looks like you're at the edge at best.

My 15A breaker supports 1 S3 and 2 S5 or 1540W/120V=12.8A which allows it enough margin to be happy.

I believe it is 20A.. hmm.. could also be the refrigerator on the circuit when the compressor kicks on? Tongue

But I would like some clarification:
-For the SP20 what role does Watts play vs Volts (yes I know one is power and one is potential but how does that translate into performance)
-For the S5 what role does Frequency play?

How many Amps is the circuit? If it's 15A it would give you a max of 1800W but you should never run at 100% for a long time, 80% is recommended which on a 15A breaker would be ~1440W.
You should get a power meter (such as the popular Kill-a-watt) and check what each machine is using.
But I would not run 2 S5's and an SP20 on a 15A circuit, even on a 20A it's iffy (on 20A, 80% power is ~1920W).
Those S5's are probably drawing at least 1000W and then the SP20 is probably 700W-800W at the speed you mention, if not higher.

How much units an Antminer S5 & S3 consume in a minute or an hour with normal , bronze & gold smps?

Please hep me guys.
As I understand, the S5 is on the order of 40 to 50% more efficient than the S3.  The S3 is rated at around 360W at the wall and the S5 around 590W at the wall.  Expect a 2 to 4% greater efficiency with Gold Vs Bronze supply.

What temps are you guys getting with them?

Both my S5's using the stock fan to pull and a Weili WD1202512SH push at the rear are still at 59/50. Although it is rather warm int he room they are in.
Just stock fan gets them over 60C.

I think the open air design is just a bad idea for these. If they were like the S3's IMO they'd be cooling more with the amount of air going through.

Is not better than two expensive Noctua 3000rpm PWM fans, two cheaper 3000rpm without RPM?
For example I am using Scythe Ultra Kaze 3000rpm (133,6CFM), and it costs 2,5 times less than Noctua.

Get some data cable extensions and run the 2 s5's / 4blades from the good BBB controller.


This was done for the day before yesterday.

Characterizing my S5 @ 350M and see there's no voltage adjustment and ran a search for asic-freq but found nothing.  I realize the voltages per frequency wouldn't be applicable to S3+'s as they're different ASICs but was curious.

IIRC S5 is parallel design, so no adjustable regulation available.

well, i would think the best you can get for 1-3 is a coupon since the miner otherwise mines (?)
4) you could switch it with a working BBB - sounds like its either not getting power or has a more serious issue.
5/6) might be bad boards then - RMA?

4. I forgot to write.. With another BBB its work perfectly.

From 5 and 6 -  I put it together one 100% working miner and one 100% not working miner. Because one did not work right side blade and the other did not work right side blade. I swapped them with radiators.

Now I have  miner, which  only 100% working part is the fan.
It will still be 5% loss, of the twenty miners. This is EUR 500 including taxes, I've paid for this  miner.

.... I wish a company made a copper option with heatpipes,  could make a huge difference for overclocking.

Should not be that hard to fabricate on your own .... just need to find out what thickness of the copper slab to get, slice some slots / channels in it and then split a few copper tubes to for the fins that are slid into the slots. All you are left to do is drilling tapped holes for attaching the PCB. I wonder how cost efficient it would be though for just a handful of units ..... ?

Doesn't sound that easy to me. Unless you have a machine shop and all the tools necessary as well as the skills to do properly. Grin

Ofcourse, you need tools (that's a no-brainer) ... a dremel would be a good start .... but definitely not a task to be undertaken by feeble minded at DIY. But like I said, not that hard (does not mean it is easy!)

My good friend owns a machine shop,  he has a few bridgeports and 5-axis Mazak cnc's.  soooo thats a start,  ill buy an s3 and pull the heatsink off of it, see what they can come up with.
i wouldnt spend alot of money on it. the s3s are getting to the end of life, unless someone finds a way to undervolt them.




I am just going to test it out on a s3, dont want to have my s5 laying around not working while I work on this.  Not looking to make any money off of it, just something fun to try out,  it would be cool to have a badass air cooled heat exchanger to see how high i could clock them (without being submerged in oil)

Anyone handy with fixing these. I just listed my 2Ths S4 on ebay starting at $49 (no reserve). Does need some sort of repair.

Please ship to Canada. I will bid on it if you will. If I win, I will pay the shipping via UPS and be responsible for duties and taxes on my end upon receipt. My eBay Account is 100% and older than dirt. Same as my PayPal. They are both probably older than some of the people posting on here Smiley


I remember when pay pal and Ebay first started i had a account on both of them lost that info for those accounts a long time ago  and just reopened two new accounts on Ebay and pay pal a year or two ago because then i had no use for either then now i use them more then any account, i have ever had ..


i love it on ebay when I'm told your account is not that old etc little do they know i was one of the very first ever to join either, when it went live way back,when the internet was dial up.

Yep I have been there from the early days. Used them both for forever. I stopped being a seller in eBay though. Got tired of the bullshit from eBay. I value my perfect rating hence I why I stopped selling! In all of my years I have only been ripped off once.

I signed up for paypal when they first started as well.  When they were giving away free money to sign up.   If i remember correctly it was $25 or $50.  Had everyone in my family and my friends open accounts so I could get the free money and referral bonuses.   Those were the good days - paid for college with the first internet bubble Smiley

ASIC Wannabe

my guess:
1) is the BBB getting power through gpio? try powering it with a 2A usb cable to see if it runs
2) bad sensor. it happens
3) it happens, poor SMD placement
4) try usb cable for power, try a different network cable (or check connection at router)
5) power delivery - maybe use 2x PCIe connectors from a better PSU
6) same as ^

ive had a raspberri pi stop accepting power through GPIO, and only work if usb-powered. its possible you have a similar issue, or a bad OS image on the BBB

1. Antminer S5 BeagleBone Black  does not have a USB connector.  BeagleBone Black runs, only yellow led not work.
2.
3.
4. Antminer S5 BeagleBone Black  does not have a USB connector.  The second network cable to the same.
5. I tried a different PSU. No help.
6. same as ^

3 months!

this is kind of standard in the mining world because of the high diff jumps and fast decreasing value of the hardware.

times might change... or not

It is not 3 monts.
Only 90 days of shipping date.

And its not standard. EU requirements - 2 years of the new product, if the seller is a company.

US     BFL single warranty 5 year
Sweden   KNC Jupiter warranty  1 year


Chinese - 90 day

Read the thread man. I must have said the only real world workable dual fan solution (if you don't have any S3 fans) is to buy two of these fans in a push / pull. Must have mentioned it over 10 times. For one fan setup you need at LEAST a 38mm push with at least 185-200 CFM, max 4000 RPM's. For a dual fan setup you would need two 25+ mm in a push pull with at LEAST 110-125 CFM, max 3000 RPM's. If the ambient temps increase considerably on the dual fan setup some kind of air conditioning will or may be needed. Most other fans cannot take the pressure or keep up with the demand then the Noctua's, hence the 6 year warranty. They are also IP52 rated, which can take dripping water and some spray and dust won't even bother it. The motor is completely sealed of course.

Have fun!!!

i know about the noctua's they are nice fans..
but nobody has answered my question.. maybe you can..

what about this fan as pull with stock fan as push but clocked down with a pwm controller
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835220056

id prob clock the stock fan to right at 3000 rpm.. or even see what it settles at with the pull fan.

i think these make a better matching .....if u want something stronger :
