Dang! Missed the sale too. Bitmain - how about opening up another short sale so I can get an order in before the new year?

Probably all the better. First batch sometimes has a problem. Better to get the second batch after the problems have been discovered and fixed.

Why on earth is this always opening at US time… how about divide it in different zones ? Last time EU was behind as well..

Hi Xircom,

As our experience most of people are active here at 10:00 or 11:00 pm and have time to do shopping in their day time, so we usually open sales in Beijing night. Do you mind PM me your skype ID, may remind you when sales open each time

What power supply will be good for this? No info on BMT about how many Ampers must go in PCIe line. And miner needs 590W ? So we need about 700W PSU..

Hi Sem,

15A for each 12V PCIE is enough.

i think you probably already know the answer to that. no BitmainTech representative would ever have negative trust.

you're welcome.

Dang. I really hope he used an isolation transformer. That's a buttload of chips too.

Novak and I were chuckling earlier today, wondering how long it would take for someone to ground-isolate and stack three server PSUs, and stack four S5 in series to get 9V per machine. The only problem there will be ground loops on the ethernet cables causing your switches to explode, but it could be interesting nonetheless.

You shouldn't get ground loops. Ethernet is magnetically isolated on the conductors, so as long as you don't use a shielded cable and there isn't big AC voltage swings, you should be ok.

I might have missed it somewhere, but what kind of PSU would you need to get the 0.2J/GH? Not only type, but specific products?

The Cooler Master G750M is a good cheap option. But if you want some peace of mind you should probably go for something like the Corsair RM850. There might be cheaper options out there, but if you are using it in your home you should be pretty sure you go for a safe option.

Since most of good PSUs are able to keep the efficiency factor high enough at load level less than 80% (IMHO) - so here is the formula for you to roughly calculate necessary wattage of PSU. 590/0.8=737 Wt. So I would choose 700-750 Wt PSU for S5. 800+ Wt for overclocking.

As I read last several days in PSU reviews, often 12V lines are "virtual" - at hardware level there is ONE 12V line. ) But nevertheless the common recommendation is to choose PSU with single 12V line.

And after all above - look at the price and at the warranty period. Cool
