Topic: ANTMINER S5: 1155GH(+OverClock Potential), In Stock $0.319/GH & 0.51W/GH - page 42. (Read 451266 times)

Waiting on confirmation (currently midnight and the weekend) but almost certainly.

The original curved thin fin heatsinks have great efficiency while not costing an arm to manufacture. Thicker but short finned heatsinks aren't quite as good but can be crammed into a much smaller space. Its not going to be a problem.

75W is the official PCI-E spec's max, its not the real world max by a long shot. Most miners have been running 150-200W per PCI-E and still plenty more requiring 250W+. Most people ran the S5 off 2 PCI-E.


9 boards, 27 PCI-E, 3400W = 380W per board. You could easily use just 2 PCI-E connectors, there are just more than required (like the S3, S5) if you want to use them or want to OC significantly.

So is this miner real?

There is no chaining going on on required here, each board is receiving 12V independently of each other board. Its the same as the people powering 3 S5s with 2 PSUs or even how the SP3X operated.


As above, you can power each board independently so those with smaller circuits can power one miner with multiple circuits. I did the same on my SP35 and generally do on all my larger miners.

Yeah these are really meant for data center operations

Hmmm, given that the site this 3-wide so-called S5+ is comming from is NOT bitmain's site, I'm even MORE inclined to take this thing as either vaporware or a straight-up scam.

 The last end-view pic with no fans just makes me wince - the chips towards the end of the board WILL overheat badly, the airflow through this unit would be a nighmare at best (think SP20/SP20E second row chips run hotter multiplied by about a factor of 10).

 I'm starting to think "nuclear meltdown" after all.

The figures are showing what the S5 "should" have been producing from the BM 1384:- 0.45 W/Gh

Yeah it seems dodgy as all hell.

Shut - I still was trying to create a banner. You were quicker (and yours is nicer than mine would have been)

Loving the banner lol

Fake ID, Beware

"BITMAIN `", huh? hmmm.

So, just detailing the photos now i have some comments:

• What happened with the monolithic heatsink design? Why start using off the shelf heatsinks with these? are these a low production run?
• At 75w max rating per PCI-e connector, those hashboards are bound to consume 225w each. There are 3 boards per unit, reaching 675w per unit. That would make the upper consume bound 2075w!!!! How are you running it on ~3400w? wouldn't this be overspeccing the connectors and probably lead to burnt plastic casings? (not that this hasn't happened before, the S5 is overspecced as well)

I'll give up trolling the same time you do

In all seriousness, though, I think what can be legitimately inferred is, that you should buy up the used S5 stock while it's available if you're interested in home mining, because shit's gonna get more expensive for the next little while, and screw you if you're not running 240V circuits.

What, you giving up on trolling? That'd be a great upside .... and aptly the + in the name.

Yeah. Time to find a new hobby.

19000 Yuan which is approx US $ 3060.00 then add shipping for 11KG (and taxes)
http://shop.bitmain.cn/goods.php?id=47

That made me think .... one module at US $ 1020 plus shipping ..... 2.5TH/s @ 1145W per module ..... can anything be read from the pricing of the used S5's?

ACK! showing my low class 'American-ness' ACK!

whatever it does not pay for sure at 13c kwh that is for sure

Ya'll need to start using ºC man.... What's up with all the ºF sillyness?

Granted, they used the exact same price i predicted here, which is all in all suspicious, and having just 2 units available has all kind of red flags over it... please, anyone reading this, don't buy it until we have confirmation from the horses' mouth that this is official.

what is sad is I could probably run the beast in my basement already have 2 titan(s) at 2500 watts....don't care about the noise in that I'm mostly on 2nd floor bedroom etc
no one else in the house (large house)

cooling might be an issue right now the below arrangement of a shutter exhaust fan works well and a pusher fan (see my imgur pics of rig below) both those fans use 10 buck
usd a month in elec or 20 bucks total well worth the cost

my setup

but again using 3300 usd as a price and the gh and watts and 0 % for the pool and 13c kwh ...main it is an ugly ugly return on www.tradeblock.com calculator

but even it you did take a chance on this toy that is a lot of elec costs a month and heat on top of the cost of the unit.....summer hard to move that much heat
and no idea what the temp would be for such with the two titans it gets to 90F in basement on near 100F days with the fans (which always run full out 24/7)

winter you may get a lot back in gas heat...in my case with 1 titan I got back 35 bucks a month on budget in gas savings

but my elec costs at 13c kwh for this would be at 3436 watts is about 321.61 usd per 30 days for electric OUCH! add the fans make it an even 350 more or less usd a month

and i'm assuming 3300 for the unit more then likely it would be much more then that

no way in any form does this work for using in any manner data hall or home

hell I'd have problems buying the 3 psu's for the beast and paying electric etc if I won the thing in a contest!!!! and it was completely FREE!!!!

oh well it is asic porn at least
