I have an S5 that I received last week that has a dead blade. What's the best way to RMA it? I'm located in the US.

If you bought it from Bitmain they will warranty it. If you bought it from a reseller you have to go back to the reseller.

Yeah, got it straight from Bitmain China. I sent their support an email, hope to hear back soon.

From personal experience you will not be able to run (2) S5 units in overclock on a single 1300 G2. I own both 1300s and the 1200xi as well.

Some options to consider would be to pair the the 1300 with a 850; and run the 2 PSUs to run 3 miners. Then overclock to your circuit breakers limits.

I'm running 2 - S5 at 362.5 off a single EVGA 1300 both averaging about 1.195 TH/s over the last 5 days. Potential caveat: the 1300 is attached to 240v and the S5's are sitting at about 4 Celsius ambient.

What I can't get over, as other are stating, is why is there no top or bottom? The cheap plastic sides are bad enough. Why couldn't you provide a plastic top and bottom.

I can't directly answer your question, but I've tested closing top and bottom off. It moves temps ~1.5C, not record breaking, and that's SEALED top and bottom rather than more plates which won't seal.

I have ordered my first S5. Got to see how mining works with them. I have been mining with GPUs now for over a year.

Do you think it is more profitable to switch from GPU mining to ASIC mining via Antminer S5 for example? I don't have to pay for electricity anyways.
Therefore I could sell my GPUs (6x R9 280x and 3x r9 290) and switch them for ASICs. But lately GPU mining is dieing so hard. It was fun early, when coinlaunches were made. But there are so less coinlaunches in last time because of all the scams. The cards have been running on Nicehash since over 2-3 months now.

I would have thought that you're losing more in GPU depreciation than you're mining, surely? What coin are you on?

I have been running them on Nicehash lately. But as I meantioned, I don't have to pay for electricity at the moment. But the circuits are limited, I actually don't know how much I can after all plug into the wall Grin

I couldn't find out now at all which were good fans to hook up on the S5s to keep them more quiet. And can I power 2 S5s with one EVGA Supernova 1300, or even with a Corsair Platimax 1200i? http://www.corsair.com/en-us/ax1200i-digital-atx-power-supply-1200-watt-80-plus-platinum-certified-fully-modular-psu

Yes you can run 2 S5 off of 1 EVGA 1300W Gold Supernova. The 2 S5 at factory 350MHZ pulls about 1200W at the wall. I would not recommend the Corsair 1200W simply because the cost difference is not worth it $310 Corsair vs $170 EVGA 1300W. The efficiency difference between Gold and Platinum PSUs is slim, and you would probably end up getting the same efficiency because the Corsair would be at 100% load, where the EVGA would only be at a 90% load. Also you have zero room for overclocking on the Corsair and you might even need to underclock to fit both.

I have smaller fans on mine and they pull together, 1170W at the wall. I'm running 120mm Delta replacement fans that push about 150 CFM.

Thank you for your response.
I'm selling my GPUs already, some have been even sold. But somehow I'm a little bit afraid to switch all into Antminers. I somehow got used to my GPUs Cheesy

but seems that era ended for me Sad

. As I stated there is no electricity costs for me. And right now I do own 2 EVGA 1300 SuperNOVA and also the Corsair AX1200i. I don't have to buy them anymore. Did you have room to overclock your S5s with the EVGA? For the Corsair I guess this is what will be the problem. Guess I will have to underclock. But first I will run about 4 S5s. All powered by the EVGAs. Eventually I'll get a 5th, which will be hooked onto the Corsair and maybe a 6th one will follow. But that depends. Maybe next month or later, and if it will be still worthy then is the other question. My main concern is just about the noise. Did anybody measure decibels on the s5s? Right now even my 290s go up to 70 db. Guess sooner or later I will have to swap the fans on the S5s.

What MINER has the lowest PRICE without needing to mod a fan with acceptable PRICE & without the FALSE/MISLEADING advert ?

should be the proper question. let's see what the dawg says

Yes, the stock fan is loud at over 70 DB. I've got 2 different fans that I'm trying out. Both are hooked up externally, running 100% on a molex adapter.

1 is using Delta AFB1212HHE-F00 120mm Case cooler 2900 RPM 120.07 CFM rated 44DB
so far this one is keeping my temps at around 55C and is only creating 50DB noise

1 is using Delta AFC1212DE 120mm x 38mm 4 Wire/5 Pin PWM 1.60A Max Speed: 3900 RPM Air Flow: 148.34 CFM
This one is a little noiser and runs at around 58 DB

Why the topic title still show that the price of S5 is 0.25/GH while it is not.

It is 0.32/GH.

Its an old title from a different BTC price.

It is not hard to change the title, is it hard?

That's a good question. Because at that ratio they would need to be selling for $289/ea. and they have never sold at the price. $340 was the lowest single price and even the 52x batch is currently priced at $350/ea. Not to mention that's not including shipping either.

That was fixed in the first firmware revision and was a known bug. You can download the latest S5 firmware here.

Thanks, but actually, the Wednesday Jan 7 file system is what's already installed. It came pre-installed in my two miners. But thanks anyway

PS. I appreciate you trying to help people out on this thread and I'm sorry you are sometimes received poorly. Your responses are necessarily conservative and it's a shame some individuals find that objectionable. Best wishes!

Thanks for your kind words. I guess only some of the causes were fixed in this version, probably the most frequent. On original stock I frozen within 2 days, on this one I haven't frozen since it was released.

Have had two S5 running flawlessly for three weeks and today experienced an issue (batch four, OE file system, CGminer 4.9.0). One of the two appeared to have frozen. Perhaps half a day elapsed while both controller and Hash appeared stuck. Discovered the problem by observing lower than expected Hash on Eligius and traced it back to the specific S5 by addressing it, whereupon it displayed the miner status page (without my logging in or requesting it), but was unresponsive to GUI selections. Shut down the PSU for sixty seconds, fired it up again, and back to normal. It now once again appears fine.

Thank you for the update. Sometimes, miner can freezes just like any other computers, but when it happens, if you simply physically power it off and power it back on, most of the time, it will fixes the problem.

If the problem persists, please contact us and we will look into further!

Thank you for selecting Antminer Product Lines!!
