Past 8 days I have been hashing with my two S5 systems.
They would almost daily, at stock settings, would fail to around 600GH per system.
Temperature is 38c on the readings, 350 frequency, 850 watt Gold EVGA power supply with 4 unique rails.
At first I thought it was the firmware that needed to be updated, but after updating the firmware yesterday it seems to at least increase the chance, as now one is entirely offline and the other is hashing at 600GH.
Multiple power cycles and one of them isn't staying online for more than 1 or 2 hours, though both were hashing at 1160GH for a couple hours after a reboot.
I never recorded temperatures above 40C (It's very cold here in a large unheated building).
What should I do? Do they need to be RMA'ed? Are others having this issue? Is there a script I can run that will auto restart or power cycle them when hash rate is this low or not responding at all?
I'm ready to buy 10-20 S5's instead of a Farm of SP20, but so far the S5 is not reliable enough for a personal farm, even with just 2 compared to my SP20 farm.
Let me know what to do.

I'm seeing the same thing on my 1 S5. Frustrating. Sometimes a save and apply click in the configuration page works for a full day or two. Sometimes only a half hour.
Hoping there's a firmware fix coming to fix this.
In the mean time is there any provision for a periodic reboot built in?
Welcome back to mining.
