Will an EVGA SuperNova 1300 G2] PSU be sufficient to power two S5's? (link: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817438011&cm_re=evga_1300_g2-_-17-438-011-_-Product)

I have a brand new one, and space is a bit of an issue so I'd rather not buy a second power supply unless I really have to. Don't pan to overclock the s5's so only asking about it's standard power draw.

it's about 590 watt at the wall so 1180 watt. You are using like 91% of your PSU. It's fine
Question is , how will he drive 8 pcie connectors through 6 cables on the evga 1300.

My internet connection (3G) was down for two days. I did not know it at the time. The miner was running 20C cooler with no internet connection.

Good for you!  I'm jealous. Smiley  

EDIT:  My S2 has been rock solid for over 7 months.  My S3's were great.  It's only my S5's that overheat with no internet or network connection.

Its hard...  Engineers are always working to make it better and better.  S5 is the most stable miners even compared to S1.  Hopefully this tradition continues.

Make our tech support job easier, too!   Grin


Bitmain, can you start building unstable miners? My home mining setup is boring me with its stability.  Tongue

My S2 recently had 70 days uptime until a brief power outage made me restart it.

Things go well if support staff just drinking coffee and have some rest...

LOL too funny.

I am making room to add to my little collection and get ready for warmer weather. No overclocking for me.

What is the best way to overheat the miner to check if it will shut down at 80C?
Blocking or unplugging the fan in my mind, could be voiding a warranty.  My test was to simply disconnect my internet - which is a real life occurrence (failed internet service).  It might take a few minutes for the current information to finish its hashing and start beeping, but it will.
Why would no internet connection cause it to overheat?

Oops... I made an assumption, that the way my S5's and Opentoe's are working, that will do it.  When there is no internet, there is no new information coming in to the miner to hash.  What at least the 2 of us have seen, is when it's not hashing, it heats up.  I would try that first, so that if you have any hardware failure from overheating, no internet access is a regular problem that should be planned for (the other options mentioned, are not normal operating conditions expected for the miners - just my opinion).

Put something infront of the front fan?

disconnecting the fan, is probably easier

Stick it in a small closet with no ventilation.  It will slowly overheat itself.

Please don't try that method, the aim of your experiment is to get the chips toasty [if they are heating up], not oven bake the entire board. There are plenty of other components on the boards which require cooling, and will more than likely fail before the chips do.

S5 is the most stable Antminer model. PSU wise, for home use, EVGA 1300W to power up 2 of the S5

590W average per miner at the wall.  Some may show just under 600W

how is s5 working? is it stable? what power supplies needed?

When my pool is dead or when my internet connection is out with my S3+ all it does it beep and beep, it doesn't overheat past 80C.

Just a note for those who ordered on DHGate tio pay via credit card: Was asking Tim with Bitmain a question on another product and he mentioned that my  DHGate S5 order should ship within the next two days. My order was very recent, so if you have a DHG order it should be shipping now or very soon.

Cool. About 1.5 weeks ago for me! I ordered one by btc and one by cc. We will see which one gets here first Smiley

I need to reduce the noise generated by the S5 as far as I reasonably can without hurting its ability to cool itself.  I find that push/pull S3 fans (~2520rpm typical) are easily quieter than the stock S5 push and cool well, though would still prefer quieter.  Would a Noctua 2000 (1" Vs 1.5" depth) as a push provide noticeably quieter operation at same ambient temp without compromising cooling?  Or some other alternative (4pin PWM needed for controller compatibility)?

PS. Received shipment confirmation today for two S5 -- thanks for the week early ship Bitmain!
