Damn... I was planning to do this (close the top of S5 case to provide more directed airflow) with my test unit that arrived much later than to other forum members...

But I still have a couple ideas on how to play with S5.

If you find any combination of things that help with either/both noise and reported temp, please let us know. I've ordered a couple S5 and plan to try S3 fans and homemade covers. My environment gets very warm in summer.

Now I got it, and right out of the box, at stock frequency 350 it gives about 1.1 Th/s at Slush's side. Firmware version:

It IS LOUD. Especially right after power on. ) I have no noise meter (and I doubt that I'll measure any new values, they are all measured before me), but if anyone need, I'll take a noise meter for a while.

With normal temperature in the living room the boards of S5 are 51 C and 55 C with this stock fan. And it looks like huge part of air from the fan is blowing away upward from this open semi-case (since my S5 is placed at the glass shelf for TV and audio equipment), so the idea of making a kind of cover is looking not so useless...

I have an unpacked Navipower HDB-1212UA fan (veeery cheap but... 2800 RPM... 105.81 CFM...), will try it later. If S5 be able to work with reasonable temperatures using that fan - it would be great.

Later I'll share another results of testing and experiments. Roll Eyes

I moved mine to get a little more cold air. The fan slowed enough that the high pitch whine went away, but it was still moving an incredible amount of air considering the ambient.

The RPM to temp is the problem.
The S1 does 2500-2700 RPM @ 45-48C and 2900-3100 RPM @ 48-52C.
If the conditions for the PWM for the fan are set lower then this thread would not be so drawn out.
Example:
800-1200RPM @ 40C
1250-1900RPM @ 45C
1950-2700RPM @ 50C
2800-3000RPM @ 60C

By the way, does anyone happen to know what the correct grill size is for the S3/+ fan?

120mm is the correct size. Like these here:http://www.amazon.com/120mm-Metal-Guard-Protective-Ventilator/dp/B00EZJI3WY/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1420776513&sr=8-3&keywords=fan+grills

Thanks, much appreciated! Was trying to dance with 140mm Sad

!

Fan specs for S3/+:
voltage: 12V DC
current: 1.2A (MAX)
3600rpm
PWM modulation
size: 119*119*38 (mm)

How to upgrade firmware on s5? Which file should be uploaded to s5? Must you have a memory card to upgrade? Would be grateful if someone could explain.

Manual page 8/9. https://bitmaintech.com/files/download/AntMiner-S5%20user%20guide.pdf

Are their any recovery SD images like the ones SP provides that would allow you to recover your BBB in the event you can't communicate with it or it gets damaged and you need to replace it?

I don't believe so, later S5s won't even have an SD card slot.

That's unfortunate since the BBB is essentially off the shelf. It would save a bunch of time if people could just swap the BBB instead of having to send the thing back to Bitmain.

Amazingly quick shipping as always. ~~If there is not a image I can upload one soon~~. (It appears I jumped the gun no SD card to backup) I was busy and didn't get to do all I was wanting just some initial pictures.

Haha, well we have the replacement fans ready to install. And these will be in a server room kept nice and chilly.

We will be selling off some of our B7 / B8 S3+ units to free up some PSUs.

Perfect condition, housed in Server Room at 64 F (approx) Hepa Air Handler. Clean and Like New.

I apologize if this is off topic but if there is any interest just shoot me a PM.

Strato

By all means correct me if I'm wrong, but I could have sworn B7 was the last of the S3 batches, B8 being the first of the S3+ batches.

BTW, is anyone able to compare the noise to an S4 please? I have an S4 and had to find another location for it. I had my neighbour knocking on my door asking what the hell the noise was and saying that he could not sleep with it (we both are in separate houses and his bedroom is about 50 meters away from my house). I have seen reports of the S4 between 70 and 90 db but not sure how accurate they were. It would be great if someone could do a test using the same metering device at the same distances for testing both.

Almost identical to the S4.

...

Which metering device did you use?
What where the values?

Could someone please update me on the safest over clocking potential?

If you have a cold air source, or can handle a lot of noise, 412.5MHz seems to be about the limit before hashrate starts nose-diving. Board temperature around 65C doesn't seem to be the problem. Peaks out around 1.32-1.35TH, and at 425MHz is down to 1.25TH

Just remember no overclocking is 'safe', especially as you lose your safety net of the warranty.

I am curious though. If these are in a server room, why tinker with the fans at all? Is there a noise concern in the room? I thought the issue with the S5 fan was strictly noise related.

The server room does have a high noise floor to begin with. But I was concerned these might be over the top db wise.

Strato

Also from what I have noticed with servers is that noise affects the performance of reading from and writing to the mechanical hard drives (SSD's are obviously unaffected by noise vibration as they have no moving parts). The noisier the environment, the slower they get.

The Delta fans I used both had 5-pin connectors with only 4 sockets used. They worked fine on the S1 units, only had to re-pin to match the standard pinout, I did this with a scribe, and remove the two raised barbs on the back of the connectors that were there to match the proprietary Dell computer connector. Those came off very easy with a blade. To put them on the S5, because of the location of the connectors, I had to shave the empty socket off of one of the connectors. I did this with a sharp box cutter but I am sure a xacto blade would work just as well. You can see the 5-pin connector as it hangs over the chassis connector.

It is for the S5 and a EVGA 1300 G2 though.. Yes, hearing protection is advised.

Im planning on running 2 per 1300 EVGA using the wiring diagram Philip posted in his review thread. Will there be any issues running 2 per 1300?

I also have a handful of 1000w and 850w PSUs

Do you think the Corsair 1200xi Platinum could power two of these? Expensive PSU, but I have 6 of them.

Strato

You might be better off running 3 S5's off 2 of those 1200w PSU's so not to over max them and gives you a chance to set the freq higher than the default.

Interesting... Can you give insight on how to wire that correctly?

Strato

If you look at page 3 of the S5 manual you will see as long as you dont mix PSU's on the same board you can use more than one PSU to power a miner. So you will power miner #1 with 4 plugs from the first PSU and also plug into both plugs on one side of same board of miner#2. Then use the second PSU to power the other side of miner #2 and to power all 4 plugs on Miner #3. This will give you room to run the miner at a higher freq as at freq 375 my miner draws @635 watts at the wall and get @1220GH.

which replacement fans did you choose to use? I would appreciate a link if you have it. Thanks.

I bought the Delta AFB1212SHE units in bulk. Also have the Noctura Fans but will test and send back if the Deltas cut it.

Strato

Re deltas-it wasn't that deal phil was talking about? because if it was, these fans (I bought a lot of 5) have some weird connector which does not seem to readily fit the 4 male pins on the miner.
Did you try these fans already?

Mine came and the connectors are funky shape connectors annoying as shit.

I will have to splice them to some other pwm plugs.

I will use this to splice
