I want both my mod gives me both I borrowed my friend IR thermometer and that's it. it costs me time and a few bucks! and I am not going to go crazy buying a c1 just for the cooling system mine does both I don't need water cooling I am not in a desert!!
all that cash is not practical for what these miners rake in!!!
6 months the S5 will be useless anyway!!!
C1 has today exactly the same useless value as 2x Antminer S3
I have already some C1 miners. I can make them to air-cooled C1 to sell , and leave the better parts for the construction of a water-cooled S5. Up to 4.6TH/s in a small housing.
Why should I not do it ?
I need to buy only a few SC-BC2 antiminner cooling kit

good idea but why are you combining hash boards knowing S5 has BM1384 chips and c1 and s3 has 1382 chips the power draw will be to much. Not unless you get free electric like I do.
You are bound to get hidden issues if you combine those boards It would need to be thoroughly tested by an engineer that deals with ASIC. It may run fine according to you but its really not.
but if you have the spare boards just make sure the s5 Controller can handle the voltage load and that the pins on the ribbon cables have the same pin configurations otherwise your S5 will go up in smoke!!
I saw pics of it already but a don't believe it anybody can use Photoshop or adobe. I would have to be there in person to see it run with my own eyes.
They made the S5 with fewer voltage buck converters this is one of the reasons its more stable and uses less power. I hate voltage Buck converters not unless there multistage like on a high end PC motherboard!!!
BITMAIN uses a cheap no frills version of them.
