make 2 orders and you are almost done

no you can buy 1 or 2 or 3 but if I do an order of 2 and an order of 1 I lose on shipping.

Shipping for 3 s-5's is 96 via fedex.

Shipping for 2 s-5's is 76 shipping for 1 s-5 is 46 or 122 if I break up the order into 1 + 2.

this is a no brainer for them to fix.

Or if anyone wants 3x 30 usd coupons for 1x 45 dollar coupon please pm me.

Phil get ahold of strato as he had a large amount of $45 coupons

he gave me 2. so when I saw the price drop to 310 I said I should buy 2.

I went to the site and saw 3 shipping choices. So I made a shipping chart::

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.10206751

from this post above:

yeah good point > I have been trying to figure out the shipping angle if you buy

shipping to USA New Jersey

   ups----------fedex-----------dhl

1) 47.77------- 46.87----------- 56.28

2) 83.59------ 75.62----------- 99.00

3) 118.54------96.10---------- 141.27

4) 146.46-----120.35----------181.98

Based on the chart above buying 3 and using fedex to ship is the best deal for me. 3 x 310= 930 + 96.10 = 1026.10

I have 3 coupons worth 130 so . 1026.10- 130 = 896.10

  I am going to buy this today.

and I can't do it. because their site is has a software defect. that does not allow for mixed values on s-5 coupons.

yea I can order 2 for 620 + 75 = 695 - 90 = 605 using the 2x 45 coupons

   which comes to 302.50 a unit

but if they let me do it correctly I could have 3 for 896.10 or 298.70 each. so would pay more per unit.

I also only wanted 1 of the three and would sell the other 2 on ebay or on site here.

   fuck it not worth bothering with it. their loss not mine.

I have deludedly convinced myself to take the plunge with this recent price drop but...

@ US$310 (without taking into account shipping cost, future network diff variances and BTC volatility), it would take an S5 about five months to recover such a price at the current exchange rate (US$215):

.01 BTC per day S5 yield * USD215 = US$2.15 per day S5 yield

US$310 S5 price / US$2.15 = 144.19 days

144.19 days / 30 days per month = 4.81 months or about 5 months rounded up...

...again, not considering shipping cost, diff variances and BTC volatility.

That water is still too cold for me to jump into. Sad

Edit 1: Oh! Energy cost is also not taken into account, BTW.

Edit 2: ...and other additional expenditures such as PSUs, fan mods, etc.

Not sure whether I am seeing correct numbers so I'll cross-check with anyone who has (or has not for that matter).

Running 1 S5 with 2 Dell 550W server PSU's ..... I took this snapshot an hour ago, but the errors have crept up to 25 (0.0008%)

EDIT: And I am running this with just an S3 fan in pull .... seems like the stock fan arrived dead!

I am not running a 2 PSU setup. But I have lots of HW errors even if I underclock the S5. I am running now with 0.02% error rate default speed. I am using a 730W Xilence PSU with 56A on the 12V rail. Could HW errors occur more often if the S5 has problems with the PSU?

EDIT: I have not seen more than 41 degrees celsius on the blades due to winter time...

No way on those temps are you running liquid nitro!!!

Its winter here now and since the summer when I built a shed for my rigs in the garden, I've had no reason to bring them back indoors, thus the temps.

I emailed [email protected] and [email protected] and one of them took pity on me and gave some coupons just for asking.

Explain your situation but keep it short! they are busy and get tons of email.

good luck -- i'd send you one but i only have $30 coupons..

Think they need to be purchased in a minimum of 2, 2 orders would not allow 3.

'The right to privacy matters'

At bitmaintech I want to buy 3 units your coupon system does not work correctly,
I have :
5 30 dollar coupon's
1 40 dollar coupon's
2 45 dollar coupon's

The website is not allowing me to mix the s-5 coupons.

so if I order 3 units.

my options are use 3 of the 30's for 90 off
use the single 40------- - for 40 off
use the 2 45 off ------------------ for 90 off

well I what to use the 2 45's and the one 40 for 130 off the 3 pieces . I can't.

I hate shit like this. I have the coupons I want 3 units and the programmer has done a slight fuck up by not allowing a mix of s-5 coupons.

Actually to anyone that has 1x 45 dollar coupon please send it to my bitmaintech account philipma1957. I would then have 3x 45 dollar coupons. Allowing me to use 3 coupons on 3 units.

So to : bitmaintech please give me a 45 dollar coupon my name on you site is philipma1957 same as here.

I would then have 3 s-5 coupons and be able to get the best bang for my buck.
Or tell your web developer to allow any and all s-5 coupons to be used on the same order.

Please look at these coupons I should be able to use the 2x 45's and the 1x 40 for 130 off my 3 unit order. I can't. If you send me a 45 it will fix the issue.

As is the case with most, my miner cannot stay in the house due to noise. I've seen where people have them in basement or in a garage. Any issues with insects or humidity and the S5? I've got a detached garage that is not climate controlled, and I'm pretty sure I need to move it out there.

Shouldn't be a problem but if there really are insects consider putting a bug screen on the fan. This will reduce airflow somewhat but might be better than having the heatsink clogged with dead bugs.

Lowering the noise level of the Antminer S5.

I've been running miners in a 1 bedroom condo, that I share with my girlfriend. I've placed them on top of our refrigerator, in the center of the condo. She works at home during the day, so it's important that they are not too loud.

When I hooked up the S5, I heard the loud whining sound that some people had posted about and knew I had to do something about it. I already had ordered 2 Delta fans off of Amazon, but they had yet to arrive. The were $22 each and are, Delta afb1212she-pwm 120mm x 38mm 4pin pwm+tac sensor extreme hi-speed 3700 rpm 151cfm case fan.

I had seen a post from ckolivas, where they found that the flow divider was the cause for much of the noise and found great improvement in using S3 fans instead of S5 fans. I removed the pull fans from 2 of my S3s and used them to replace the noisy fans on my 2 S5s. So now I have 2 S3s and 2 S5s all with only 1 S3 fan each in the push position. The S3 fan wire connector was not long enough, so I had to cut the end off of the S5 fan, strip the wire ends, and insert them into the S3 fan connector to make it work.

Results on the S3 are, the push fan runs a little faster, but overall quitter, and the machines are only 1 or 2 degrees warmer.

On the S5s, I down-clocked to 300mhz to keep the temps at or below 60C. The fans ran at about 3200RPM but were so much quitter that the stock fans. I was able to run the 2 S3s and the 2 S5s with a noise level that is bearable. Oh and as others have said, the pull fans don't seem to accomplish much as far as cooling, but definitely drive up the noise level.

When the delta fans got here, I tried them on the S5s instead of the S3 fans. The connector is 4 pin and the fans do self speed adjust, but I had to make a slight mod to the connector end to make it fit just right.

Results, 1 of the above delta fans on a S5 is slightly quitter than the S3 fan on the S5. It cools better and can run at a lower fan speed 2880RPM @ 300mhz, compared to 3200RPM @ 300mhz. You can use this delta fan to go back up to the 350mhz stock frequency and still stay at or below 60C in a room temperature room, with about the same noise as the S3 fan @ 300mhz.

So far I'm happy with the following setup.
1 - S5 with 1 of the above Delta fan in push position running at 300hmz mining at approx. 980-990gh/s
1 - S5 with 1 of the above Delta fan in push position running at 300hmz mining at approx. 980-990gh/s
1 - S3 with 1 S3 fan in push position running at 250mhz at approx. 500gh/s
1 - S3 with 1 S3 fan in push position running at 212.5mhz at approx. 425gh/s

1. see highlighted. You meant that you clip off one or both of the rails?
2. Did you try delta at 350 mhz on S5? If you did, I am not sure what the result was as far as dB is concerned (there are free android and iphone apps that measure this). I am already at 1000GH (337.5 mhz) with quiet (46 dB) Noctua/Scythe combo, so for me it wouldn't make sense to try Delta unless i can go to 350mhz or above.

I had to shave one of the guide rails on the plastic connector. It was in the middle instead of the end.

Just downloaded an app and with one of the delta fans on a S5 running at 350mhz, I'm getting 47dB at 1 meter away. The fan is running around 3000RPMs and temps are at 60C.

The sound level reading for all 4 machines is only 52 dB 1 meter away, with my current setup.

Thanks. Great.

Funny -- with 4.8.0 I ran the clocks back up to 350MHz, let them settle down, and got near enough as advertized. Then dropped to 312.5, let them settle and got neighborhood 320GH/s. Reinstalled 4.9.0, they settled OK, so dropped down to my target 306.25 and they came in near enough the expected 310GH/s. Guess it's time to leave 'em alone!

Thought I might as well include a couple noise measurements. I'm running the miners in a room containing six, the two S5 and four S3 (no other noise sources.) They are arranged in pairs several feet apart. I used an analog meter and took measurements 12" directly in front of the intake fan with the miner centers aprox 13" apart. The measurements with the meter aimed directly at the intake fan were S3 61dB SPL and S5 65dB SPL (C weighted, all units running dual S3 fans.) Room ambient from the entrance several feet away with the meter pointing towards room center was 57dB SPL. So, I don't know what the solo SPL is of my modified S5, but it does appear to be 4dB louder than the S3.
