Topic: ANTMINER S5: 1155GH(+OverClock Potential), In Stock $0.319/GH & 0.51W/GH - page 284. (Read 451048 times)

Well, just ordered 2 of them to give a test run. Maybe that will help me decide on my year-end purchases.

 UK another warranty conditions or .. no warranty at all?

In Beijing Time's this afternoon, we will issue it, thanks!

Thank you, but when?

Yes.

Bitmain, for those of us who opted for S5 coupons instead of L1 refunds, when can we expect those to be credited? Thanks.

Yes.  Thank you!

its ALIVE!!

I sold all of mine and came out pretty well. Oddly enough the S3s came out higher than the S3+ upgrades. I guess the shiny case is mo betta in their eyes.

We would love to cater you in UK for cheaper, too, however, we have to respect each country's law in regards to import tax and VAT.  Unfortunately, we are not big enough to move that big rock to say, please waive the import tax or VAT on our products.

Would be nice if units could be sold by UK reseller and gets stock in cheap and no Import duties as would like to buy some of these S5 however would kill me on import duties and tax.

I wish the price was a little lower.

Thanks for your opinion. We have done a small batch of S3++ in the domestic market, which employee the string power design on the BM1382 chip. It works stable and sound until now.

S5 will open sales VERY SOON!!!!

Noise wise, we will post DB level reading like it was done in S3 and S4 in the past

Happy Shopping!

manufacturers almost never talk about noise straight.
Besides, people have situations that differ: many have basements or sheds, which makes it much less relevant.

That's my current decision making issue between the sp20 and S5.  I'm hoping to get some details on noise prior to year end so I can make some tax write-off purchases.  Hopefully when this 'fluid' period is over we will have a price and info that will make them the hands down choice (personally I want it to be a no-brainer). Right now comparing batches to batches, the sp20 has them beat by about $600 for the same hashing, not counting the free shipping.

I'm rooting for BM.  I've had the S1, S3, S4, U1 & U2. Liked them all, but the sp20 does look enticing and gets solid reviews.

Interesting product. A lot will depend on pricing, but at similar pricing and efficiency I think you'd have to give the nod to the SP20 due to many of the reasons other people have listed here (established product, ease of changing settings), but also due to the potential risks inherent in the chained design. Bitmain saves significantly on costs by eliminating the VRMs and should get a small efficiency boost from it as well, but so did AM and everyone saw how the Prismas turned out. This wouldn't be a product I'd be investing a lot of money into until the first batch is field tested for awhile.

Do we independent or factual noise figures for the S5?

SP20's underclocked are rather quiet. I do agree the noise levels are high if you live near the equator.

I completely agree, Bitmain DID a great job on both previous designs and ROI figures. The games has changed and I still believe the U3, and C1 was the wrong direction. A waste of resources. Not speculating, however if you look at history and extrapolate, with advancements in technology we see some very large jumps in difficulty. Naturally, whilst some will ignore history and repeat the same mistakes, waiting for batch 2 (ie. the more bug free version), we shall see what the true difficulty numbers will be. Just saying don't jump in head first.

A great point on the connections. Where is the logic to continuing the same flawed design. The two other major manufacturers have pretty much the same single end connected design.
