Can anyone point me to the model number and/or specs for the S3 fans? I'd like to buy some.
- voltage: 12V DC
- current: 1.2A (MAX)
- 3600rpm
- PWM modulation
- Size: 119*119*38(mm)
Excellent, thank you!

Just got S5 and it is hashing steady. The noise is not bad. From the reviews I thought it was going to be much louder. Its a higher pitch for sure, its small in size and not really overwhelming. I have one setup in my bedroom and don't think it will be a problem.
I'd suggest you get your hearing checked.Mine is in the sub level basement garage of my apartment building, and anyone who walks down to the basement garage can hear it (my garage is the furthest away in the basement)
dB readings:
Standing outside my garage door - 7meters from it - garage door, car, a wall of boxes between me and the S5: 59dB
1meter direct line of sight from the S5: 69dB
1foot above the S5: 77dB
The heat sink exit metal temp reading is only 39degress - so maybe the fan is over compensating? ...
Noise levels are relative for different people. I worked 5m away from an SP10 for 14 hours a day for about 4 months so I have a different reference frame then say someone who has only ever had an ASICMiner Cube.
Is it intolerable? No, it isn't. But in my house I couldn't hear my wife yelling at me from the other room with this thing running next to me. Yes, I could probably hear that she was yelling something if she wasn't too far away, but I wouldn't be able to clearly understand her due to the noise level. So it just depends on what your standards and expectations are, and how loud your family can yell. Perhaps the white noise will be a blessing for some.

I posted dB readings ... so my post is quite specific, not a random vague "I got used to loud noises from an SP10 and now I'm deaf" comment.
Edit: Oh OK - your doing paid advertising spin - I didn't see your stupid bias comments to ckolivas before:

I'll check with Bitmain directly and see what they have to say.
Kano, you're being really aggressive the last few months and there really is zero need for it. My comment was in relation to you telling someone else to 'get their hearing checked' just because they had a different opinion on how 'loud' they felt the S5 was.
Take it down a notch please.
I posted specific measured details, meanwhile you posted a reply opinion based on you now being deaf.
Seems what's becoming a usual comment for you is necessary.

It's not quiet, and I don't have a db reader. But it is definitely not louder than my vacuum cleaner. And I'm somewhat used to prior miners fans going. This miner will probably go in another room for convenience and electricity purposes, but I'm a little bit biased. In terms of having a closed metal frame and dual fans. Personally, I like having more metal, they make my miners feel more solid and durable. But with the pace of new technologies these miners are obsolete within a matter of several months, so its not necessary to have battle-ground metal plates on the thing. Being able to stack them is raised, but I would imagine commercial data centers have all the necessary equipment to efficiently setup S5. Maybe for homes and garages it would be easy to stack several miners on top of one another, like the S2 and S4's. Even so, I'm at the point where I'd either need to find a new place to live or rent space commercially to increase my mining, and I'm not really sure that I want to do that.

My opinion:
Yeah man! buy more hardware! pump the wallets of the manufacturers by underclock and buying more hardware...
Yeah man! buy more hardware! pump the wallets of the manufacturers by underclock and buying more hardware...
I think that is exactly what the big players do. They probably buy bulk and get a discount and then use that price advantage to

Also not easily stackable like the S3/C1, which we built into towers 6-8 high. Disappointing design, definite step backwards.
Remove the plastic sides, lay them on their sides, and zip-tie them in a stack. What's hard about that?
they can do a decent 2 wide 3 high tower ---------wire out on the left and right.
but they are a clear cut loser to the s-3 or the sp20 in the stacking department.
look the s-5 and the sp20 have plus and minus. in my home the sp20 works better.
I sold my demo s-5 to a forum member,but after some pm's with another forum member I purchased another s-5 and I will do a review of it with a psu voltage controller in about 3 weeks. If the voltage controller does as well as hoped the s-5 can do 800gh at 240 watts using this fan
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KFCRATC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
it will be a nice miner.
until then I tell everyone the s-5 is a loud miner don't buy it if :
A) noise matters to you and/or B) you can't tweak the fans due to a lacking skill set.
or C) big stacks of them are needed.

Anyway, it seems the solution that ckolivas worked out here a couple of days ago is reasonable if you need to be anywhere near the S5 and have some S3 fans you can use (or source from somewhere else)
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.10054507
We are in summer now, so we're also testing in a much hotter environment, so if you are in the middle of winter, that quieter fan from the S3 would probably be ideal (though probably still ideal anyway without a colder environment)

True, and I'm not saying it's impossible, we've done something like that with the S1. Just that S3 was quieter and easier to stack and S5 is a step backwards.

Look at the quote history, condensed this time.
The noise is not bad.
I'd suggest you get your hearing checked.Lets keep it civil in here please, no one is arguing, no one is shouting, everything is calm.

What is the process for transferring coupons? Is that donate button supposed to do something? I mean I would assume so but mine doesn't.

I have a little lab here with nearly every Bitmain product except those USB thingies. In a completely unscientific observation the S5 is a clear winner in terms of noise per GH/s. Four S3s are completely overwhelmed by one of those little screamers. I can't hear even the Spond SP20 anymore after the S5s were plugged in.
Also not easily stackable like the S3/C1, which we built into towers 6-8 high. Disappointing design, definite step backwards.
