No dashes before -- all o's on both blades. And it was hashing fine out of the box at stock freq for a few hours, then I cranked it up to 400 and it was doing about 1.3 TH nicely. But so frickin loud. That's when I decided not to leave well enough alone, and to replace the fan with an S3 push.
Today its hashing on the one blade at 350 freq again. And I can see the S3 fan is not going to be enough. Its barely keeping the one blade at stock clock under 60 degrees...
I did reseat all the power and data cables I can see and reach from the top. I guess a full tear-down is in order. What was the good thermal paste again?

Did you only use one fan off the S3? I don't think that is near enough for the heat. You'd need both push and pulls form the S3.
I tried adding just a 104CFM fan to the back of the S5 tonight and use with the stock fan to see if it makes any difference tomorrow after I get a chance to put it in my rig.
Should reduce temps enough to warrant a fan speed reduction. We'll see.
The fan speeds of the S5 and it's extreme heat generation IMO is a downer on this. My SP20's create less heat at much quieter fan speeds. I was hoping to rock a few dozen S5's but I might have to just buy more SP20's unless I find a decent way to quiet them at least to SP20' levels..
(I run my rigs in one of my garages under the house. Can't hear it inside, but it's quite loud and toasty in the garage.)
**Love a heated garage that kind of pays for itself**
