Tested the PSU - it's an OCZ 850W Gold & I'm using 4 x pcie connectors. It is now running 2 x OC'd S3's without a hitch........

Watch the heat of those cables and connectors. With overclocking and only using two cables per miner, the cables will most likely overheat and the plugs will melt.

EDIT: It did work for the first 10 minutes though....... Tongue

At least it worked for 10 minutes  Grin

1 PSU with 1 rail of 12v line connected to 1 side and another rail connected to the other side?

Please make sure, there is no cross over on PSU Line, between 1 side of the hash PCB and the other side.

Hope that is the cause...   Undecided Lips sealed

such is our luck....

*cough* string design *cough*

Consider yourself lucky it didn't explode like some AM Prisma 1.0.

Hello Bitmain: - Do I get any prizes for having the first dud unit?:



Only one board hashing - the one that is showing the temp, nothing from the other board that shows zero. I've checked all connections, factory reset, reboots, all the usual stuff - no joy...... Angry

It could be an issue of one hashing board not receiving enough power. Are you using split or single rails design PSU? Is it capable of providing the power the S5 demands for hashing at 1+ TH/s speeds? If split rail, some rails are stronger than other. Did you try swapping PCI-E cables to the other sides?

^^ I hope this is not a sign to come. Please advise if you find a fix for the failed board... its odd because it appears that the chips are live as indicated by the "o"' instead of seeing ---- or xxx.

Just curious how many S5's you guys are running at home.  I miss mining- sold my S3's after 2 months.  The difficulty to power cost just seemed too far off.  Since you can just buy btc now for cheap.  But dammit I miss running my machines.

what does power cost you? at 15 cents a k-watt   or more and there is no good choice

My s5 arrived this morning just as i was going out (wife and i at hotel for a couple of days) so i haven't had chance to unpack the box yet. I'll do as full a review as i can and set up some pictures for all your viewing pleasure when i get home on 31st.
Thanks Bitmain!

I am sitting typing this and watching sons of anarchy on netflix.  the miner is on the truck.  If I am lucky the show ends in 90 minutes and the miner comes right after it.

I'm very much looking forward to your review Phil.

Me too. Im thinking about replacing my S3's with these.

Thank you!

I would have powered it up but UPS knocked on the door just the very second we were leaving, and my wife has spa treatment (she's in there now)
I have a massage at 12GMT, but it's not my sort of thing.. i may just get a beer and massage my throat  Cool

Glad you received it!! 

Wish you let it hash before you left to the hotel, so it could made you BTC while you sleep  Grin

Hi cathoderay, Spondoolies-Tech, Bicknellski,

Hope below is clear enough, it is only S5 discussion thread here, we are appreciated that your topics are focusing on Miners.  


Hello all,

Bitmain has employed me to help liaise with the community and later provide technical support. They have done this in order to help provide:

1) timely technical support
2) provide better feedback (if I don't know, I can find out from the people within Bitmain who will)
3) provide product and sales input from you guys directly into the company. If something is going wrong, YOU can fix it
4) provide native English press releases - less ManderEnglish, more sense.

This is a paid position, however it will in no way affect my independence or freedom in being critical towards Bitmain outside of this thread. My contract specifically stipulates:

Quote
Dogie will speak on behalf of BITMAIN and will not criticize BITMAIN in these threads. Dogie still reserves the right to criticize BITMAIN in his other threads. Both parties acknowledge that this relationship has no impact whatsoever on BITMAIN’s rating or standing in “Dogie’s ‘Manufacturer Trustworthiness” thread.


Please keep in mind people, this is Bitmain's product discussion thread. While excessive harassing of members isn't acceptable under any circumstance, it is especially not acceptable in someone else's thread. I'm sure Dogie doesn't mind talking to reasonable people about whatever issues people are having with him, but please do not do it here. Don't clutter the thread making information harder to access for those that want it.
