Thanks very much, but a question, do you really mean the binary won't survive a reboot? Or do you mean it won't survive a reset? My expectation would be a reset!
Reboot. The filesystem on these is usually volatile and read into ram on a reboot. When you write to it it's written only to the ram part. You'd need full firmware (I believe) to write something more permanent.

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":
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.

My two S5 will arrive on Wednesday so I was thinking as using my one "Cooler Master Silent Pro 1200W Gold PSU" for both. Will that work? Also whats the difference between Gold & Bronze i.e. which one draws less power?
gold is the better one to use, top notch is platinum :-)

Just tried to order two with BTC to the US. Couldn't! Appears to require I enter a mobile phone number, something I neither have nor need/want. What is this shit?
Issue appears to be resolved. I'm instructed to enter my "land line" number into the mobile phone number field in order to provide delivery communication. I gather mobile phone is assumed any more -- guess I'm just old school. January 05, 2015, 02:53:49 AM

Its hard not to point out that that is well over 1BTC/TH - a price that was considered competitive at only slightly lower efficiency over a month ago, and when bitcoin prices were almost 50% higher.
Definitely holding off on the hardware orders until price pops back over $400
Same here, BTC price should be above 430 to make a break even!

If BTC is now 260-270USD, difficulty seems going up, then S5 for price 401USD + shipping is very overpriced.
I wanted to buy around 30 units, but price have to be less then 350USD.

I agree, recent price drop make S5 so expensive that it's not worth it anymore.
Which mining hardware is?
you do realize that you are on Antminer S5 thread, right?

Isn't I should use 0.8 on power factor ? Looks like I can't contain 4 miners in 13 Amps socket.
The S5 should allow for you to underclock one miner and dial in the watts to match what you feel is comfortable.
I will know more once mine shows up this week.

Am I confusing myself or it's true that we will never break even with this S5 miner?
I have a space which rents is 180USD/month, including 13 Amps, 220 Volts; Which I consider is the cheapest place I could rent for mining at this moment.
This is my calculation:
Unless BTC priced at 430+, else we would't be profitable at all.
Correct me if I am wrong please.

Its even worst that you think as you have no difficulty increases figured in on your annual number. It looking like a 13% increase just the next one in 7 days
https://bitcoinwisdom.com/bitcoin/difficulty
Edit: on the bright side your cost for electric is better than most as long as you use it all. eg 2800 watts which would be about 4 miners

Only factoring in one S5? You could run 4 with the power you have, without increasing the monthly cost (I presume), which makes it a far more attractive proposition.

One answer: that is true.
The other answer: maybe you should consider "amortisation" and the "resale value" in your calculations too...?
