BitmainWarranty, what is the overclocking potential of S5??
Depends on your PSU. If you can increase voltage, you may find out...

So have we heard definitively whether or not there is a top and bottom to this unit?

i think batch 1 will be sold out long before i will be in position to buy. i am looking over my mining options now. it seems can only run one or amybe one and half of these with my rm1000's. i did buy a new rm1000 during newegg 'black furday' in case there was any new ants being released. appears my intuition was right.  i bought a new ax1200i too for new pc build too. i scored big at newegg's 'black furday'.. they had some great deals. well meanwhile i have to figure out if will be profitable to swap out my S3 farm .. then i have to buy coins cuz i not spending any my mined coins. i am one of the evil miners who hoard all their coins.

really wasn't a 'debacle' .. it's just that most people didn't know what to do to prep hardware to get a good over-clock. my original s3 units are still hashing over 500g/hs. i never had the alarm issue because i placed a piece of electrical tape over the speakers.

To elaborate, after re-pasting and extensive tweaking of my twelve B1 through B3's, I have not ever been able to get ANY of them hashing stably above 460GH/s without X's showing up.

I'm glad you're stable at 500GHs. That's pretty incredible considering the experience I've had.

... and I think you will agree with me that the need to place tape over a speaker to mitigate a software issue is unacceptable, all things considered.

Finally, debacle is probably too overdramatic, I admit. "Disappointment" would be more apropos.

How many chips? (16+15)x2 = 60 ?
What voltage? 0.80 volt?

So, should be 22x60 = 1320 GH/s and 760 W on wall

Only one fan, 3kg radiators - very low to dissipate 590W, it will be very noisy

Meh.

I'm still irritated with the S3 -> S3+ debacle, and the S3 firmware still being broken such that the #$*@#!nG alarm still goes off when the pool goes dead - ignoring the checkbox setting in the webGUI to disable the alarm. Woke me up at 3am in the morning last night.

I agree..what debacle? My batch 1 S3(s) worked like a horse for 5 mo before I sold them for a very decent price. With later software it beeped much less, later units did not beep at all, unless they lost internet connection for a few minutes.

Looks like Bitmain just lowered the price to $418 each (plus shipping & customs)!

Pretty quick reaction ...to my post ...LOL ... Grin

If a 10' pole is not long enough, we may have a 20' pole to share
Point being, here's hoping your S5 product launch goes better than your S3 product launch.

Don't get me wrong, I look to acquire a few S5's in time, but the S3 experience - as a B1 through B3 buyer - left a really bad taste in my mouth after being quite happy with my prior S1 and S2 purchases.

also - will the S5 have a full-frame case again like the s3? None of the pictures show a top cover, or even a bottom cover. I assume its to show off the innards, but if a lid isnt actually included the entire dynamic is changed somewhat.

ps: The Sp20 has all the connections at the front, and could be stacked into a 5x5 grid unlike the antminers, which can only stack side-by-side (becomes an issue if you have limited space or 15+ units)




i always change my antiminer network connections towards the back and place them on their sides and stack them up without their covers. this provides the best airflow for the ants.

When S4 came out, the comments were exactly the same...

Too expensive, no ROI etc... but ppl still bought a whole lot of them... the same will happen to the S5 and BITMAIN knows this very well
