My Batch 2 miner arrives today... on truck for delivery.

Got mine a couple hours ago. The only problem I had was I have a lot of old IP address on my modem from all the S1's and it grabed one of those so I had to check a couple before I found the right one. Running great so far! Noise is not as bad as I was exspecting but have a couple of ideas to try. ( have it in my basement and can hear it some from upstairs )

If you get more of them check out the S5 manual. Bitmain now has minerlink at www.minerlink.com. It will make finding them on your network much easier. But be patient. These take longer to boot up / show up on a network than the S3 or S1.

what else to expect from a plastic miner... Undecided

not sure why the sides being made of a good quality, lightweight plastic is a bad thing. Its better than the S1, and far lighter than the S3, but really needs a top cover.

the burnt component on that machine looks like a regulator for the control board - not sure for what, possibly the 5V power source of the Beaglebone.

It sure is a lot lighter than the S3 but I have a bad rattle coming from those sides.

a rattle? on mine the plastic was firmly scrwed down and only flexed 1cm or so in either direction - no movement under normal operation though.

I had to plug it and run but heard a rattle. When I went down just now to check and see what it was I see when I grab the sides of the fan and tweek it some the rattle stops. so I will need to look and see if the fan is hitting something or rubbing.

EDIT: I will say its running just great. I just changed the Frequency to 375 and it climbed right up to 1250+GH running at a temp of 49/50 at 635W with a RM1000 PSU

S5 firmware is being tested tonight, estimated to be online tomorrow or the following day.

will this address the PWM functions of the fan? Would be nice to see a way to manually set the fan, or at least to set a temperature target (at stock, temperatures seem to be targeting 50C or less - setting that to 55C or 60C would drastically reduce the fan speed/noise)

thanks

The biggest competitive edge that the SP20 has is the ability to dial the fan speed back manually to as low as 20%, or 5% using SSH. makes a huge difference in noise and is usually the deciding factor for how far the owners are underclocking.

Janet, As PatMan as requested as well, can we please get the cgminer fix that ckolivas has already provided the community?

That's great, thank you for confirming.

Can you also confirm that it will incorporate the cgminer fix that ckolivas has mentioned here:

Quote from: -ck on January 05, 2015, 05:49:41 AM

Here's a quick binary for the S5 based on bitmain's existing code which will ignore any queue parameter, not discard stales, should be able to ramp up smoothly if you find yourself on a very low diff pool, and use a little less CPU:

http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/antminer/s5/4.9.0-150105/cgminer

Binaries will only be temporary so will not survive a machine reboot.

The following will change the cgminer binary for you (set the appropriate IP address), the default root password is "admin":

Code:

ssh 192.168.1.x -l root
cd /tmp
wget http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/antminer/s5/4.9.0-150105/cgminer
chmod +x cgminer
mv /usr/bin/cgminer /usr/bin/cgminer.bak
cp cgminer /usr/bin
/etc/init.d/cgminer.sh restart

There should be a more comprehensive merge in the future into mainline cgminer, hopefully by Kano. Bitmaintech has provided us both with S5s to support cgminer development.

Thus saving your customers having to re-download & install it after every reboot?

Thanks

This is the thing, if history is anything to go by with the S2, S3 & S4 firmware problems - it could take months to get the S5 firmware right, if they do at all. This is the major drawback with Bitmain, great units but buggy firmware. Compare this to SPT, they are constantly testing & tweaking their firmware to improve it - not to get it working properly.

Bitmain & Firmware...... Sad

You hit that dead on! Always seems like a gamble early on with Bitmain.
