Now that violation of Moore's law is over; chip efficiency is less important than power cost variation. Cheap power is more important for mining than the newest chips.

yup i want less power hungry machines. screw how fast they are it's nice to have don't get me wrong but if the power bill exceeds the worth is it worth it ?, i have kind of cheap power it went down for two years to 8.99 cents per KWH

.I'm thinking about buy two cheap S3 some place and wish i had kept at least two of my four i had and just to mine alt coins some of those coins are amazing at the return i can get . and buy big time large mounts of hash from rented machine not contacts, i hate that kind of cloud mining and keep running my s5 and S3, it covers it all .

Apparently Bitmain is still recovering from the holiday. Nothing new shipping yet. Sad

Last news was about the pool : We are pleased to announce Antpool (antpool.com) which is open for users all around the world. BITMAIN has invested significant resources into developing a bitcoin pool based on the p2pool mining protocol. BITMAIN reaffirms its commitment to help decentralize the Bitcoin network, strengthen the Bitcoin eco-system and put the majority of hashing power into the hands of consumers.

well you know them once they have it we have it .

. so far , I hope it stays that way .I would hate to see KNC win out and totally destroy the consumer market but that has been there intention all long . IMO .Sadly i hate to say it but its coming . but if company like Zeus etc would have kept selling to the consumer market and be honest things would be a lot better for all.

BUT some let greed get the way of begin honest . so will all suffer now .shame to I love doing this and will support it till the end .

That's from about 3 or 4 months ago.

Little confusing, but anyways.

Current situation after reconnecting ALL cables.

Running for 4hr 12m @ 350mhz @ 58C HW = 1

OOOOOOOO OOOOOOOO OOOOOOOO OOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOO OOOOOOOO OOOOOOOO OOOOOOOO

PSU on UPS as I suspect power dips on 'mining' site.

I shall look at another psu with regards to the 12v rails.

Thanks gents for all the advice.

Would high discard numbers relative to another indicate a network problem?

How high is high? Difficulties the same? If by relative you mean to an entirely different mine somewhere else then it could be because of higher ping, but within the same installation its unlikely.

One has discards 100x higher than another. 103,395 versus 907 nine minutes after cgminer restart on both.

I'm first trying a clean up on its power line - switching a high speed switch wall wart to another line but I suspect the controller card.

After 5 minutes 57,666 discards versus 613. I'll shut down and clean the controller card.

After cleaning the controller board with brake cleaner and blowing off with compressed air, running 5 minutes after cgminer restarts, 67,324 vs. 783. Will try swapping controller board after I finish putting together a line filter for the router.

Are you able to just swap the network cables first? What effective hash rate is the pool reporting on each?

Yes I changed network cables, changed the high speed switch, put a line filter on the switch (helps keep my video recordings clean of noise), just swapped the controller cards and now after 6 minutes with the switched controller cards it's 71,908-HW3, 583-HW2. This should really be in the S3 forum not the S5, sorry, have been following S5 preparing to buy when I can. And now I see a firmware version difference. The high discard rate firmware is 4.6.1 and the lower rate is running 4.6.0.

Reverting to 4.6.0 has fixed the high discards.

HELP! I am running at 200mhz @ 41C. I am getting the following
xoxxxxxx xxxxoxxx oooooooo xxxxxxxx
xxoxxxxx xxxoxxxx xxxxxxxx oooooooo
It starts 20+ mins after startup.
Trying to get a screen shot of hashing.

Running 1000AE RAIDMAX PSU.

bad psu also why 200mhz?

it has 4 rails not one. each rail can do 1 wire to the s-5

Agreed, you'll have to get another PSU to test with before we can get any meaningful information off it. The method of failure (mixed x's and o's) is STRONGLY power related, and the PCBs failing (not a coincidence both at once) would have no impact on the controller not booting.

Your 12V is likely no longer 12V or generally duff on your PSU.

I am running @ 200mhz to keep temps down as it gets very hot during the day. and temps were reaching 62C @ 350mhz.

What is ambient air temp? 34C
Does your unit have unrestricted access to airflow? both units do. S5 and S1. S1 is still going.
Did you reboot? done a few times. and unplugged. now it does not start up.

Not booting at all. disconnected everything and reconnected. PSU fine.
Just the lights come on and no fan. or access to board.

Recalling Detroit's Monday/Friday effect, I wonder how long after the long holiday and S5's go back into production we'll see Wednesday cars?

(Just opened a fortune cookie from last night's roast port lomein and pork fried rice. It says: Be prepared to receive something special within the week. A bit optimistic I think.)
