Im just wondering with these all new miners coming out, is there any money to be made via mining anymore?
Definitely, but it requires low electricity/hosting costs.

Do you have plans to change the fan for batch2?

batch 1 = batch 2 = batch 3 there is only 1 batch here formed by 3 artificial ones! maybe ''batch'' 4 is the same
Did any1 with 2 s5, try to connect 2 more blades to one s5 for a total of 4 blades per one s5?

Disassemble them, rip off the heat sinks, reassemble them using dividers and a minimum amount of fans. Then down clock them to the most efficient power to return ratio...
Looks something like:

Does anyone know what a reasonable max temperature these guys could be running at ?
Is 70C way too hot ? Trying to keep them under 65C right now, but would be good to officially know the range.
Also, found a bug. Changing the frequency resets "Beeper ringing" to it's default checked state.

[unofficial] If you can get it back under 65 then that should be fine. Its more about balancing your premature death risk (ie 12-60 months) than worrying that its going to melt or anything as the 80C cutoff exists there for a reason. I'm not sure you'll get an official reply on this because we're talking about modifications which officially void the warranty anyway.
Bug reported, although I think I've seen this one on S4, C1 etc as well.

Batch 2 likely won't change because those orders were made for a certain product. Other solutions are being looked at.

[...]Overnight, one of the blades curiously went xxxxxx xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxx xxxxxxo running at stock 350 with the temps at 63C. Rebooted and it's working OK again.
Will continue to keep an eye on it, but I suspect I might need to slap on the original stock fans for that one unit.

Please do keep us posted on this issue...

What are the models of those fans?
Antec pull fan : http://www.amazon.com/Antec-TriCool-LED-Cooling-3-Speed/dp/B00066FHEW/
Thermaltake push fan : http://www.amazon.com/Thermaltake-Blue-Eye-Adjustable-Control-AF0026/dp/B003IWN23O/
One of the two miners I received is running hotter than the other, using identical fans for each unit.

If only S5 was in the same case like SP20... Or like S3...
personally, i don't care, but closed case looks more 'retailish', I agree.
It saves an alarming amount of weight by opening up the top and bottom, as well as replacing out the metallic sides. The S5 is a total lightweight compared to the S3. And that means less steel being shipped round the world.
Dogie, it's an absurdity. Let's ship it without fan maybe?.. Or without heatsinks? Less weight will be shipped around the world...
The product should work out of the box, and this S5 needs reworking in most cases (if home miner can't place it in the basement of in the data center).
When I speak about closed case it's not about 'retailish' look, I mean only better cooling (and less noise) if the case is closed.
And less danger of setting your home on fire.
Also i noticed that Bitmain went back to the "old" S3 heatsinks? Cost?

Raskul I agree it is a good miner I will read your review. I read it and it is fair and accurate. Here is my review
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/s-5-review-it-has-arrived-some-info-is-in-907219
only just got around to reading your review Phil.
I'd say it's about right, and you have far more ability to do in depth, than i. thanks for sharing
note: my host is down at the moment, I should have just made a new thread for my review but I was afraid dogie would tell me off for spamming the forums - because he's so unbiased and has a balanced opinion on all manufacturers

I'd be comfortable under 60 degrees myself.
