anyone know if you can plug in a 3-pin fan into the S5 controller? i know it has 4 pin connector. but does the 3-pin fit? was gonna buy this delta fan.

I'm trying to be patient, and it is wearing thin. My miner was sent in for service, and received on the 18th of May. I contacted them on the 19th and didn't hear back until the 20th. After they confirmed they had my miner, they told me that parts were low and I would be receiving a replacement miner from China.
Well it's been 9 days, and nothing. Two days ago I was told they were having some hard time with communications with China and they will get me a tracking number as soon as they here something. Up until now, I have not had any problems with Bitmain, but this one is really difficult. CAN I PLEASE GET A TRACKING NUMBER?

Mr. Cygnus,
Please be Patient with them. China right now is being what most technical users would call as colossal asshole, as they are poised to go to war with the Americas.
Bitmain will get you a new device sure I am sure of it.

Which team are you working with? Is it the China or US support you started working with?
Both are normally very good. If you are in US or China you might even try calling their support lines if really having trouble. I don't think 9 day's is horrible if you sent in a part for it to get there and them to look at it will take a bit depending on country you sent from and to. They will need to look at that one first then they will send out another on or fixed depending on situation.
I would guess you should be hearing from them next week as it's a weekend now. But if you don't you might try the phone as I mentioned.
I'm guess it's the Colorado team, that's where the miner was sent. I'm in the US. They are still trying, keep having communication issues with China. I'm going to be calling the phone number Monday. Either send me a miner or refund the $340 + shipping.
It will be one of those situations where, when I get my miner back, pool luck will die, bitcoin prices will plummet, and I will have a very pissy attitude. THE LACK OF COMMUNICATION IS THE KILLER.
They are a good support team. Honestly have been very helpful when I needed them.
I suggest just giving a few day's next week as it's weekend now. But they have a phone number. If you call them up nicely I'm sure they will update you.

@Bitmain
Is there any information as to what adhesive heat sinks would be appropriate to install on the S5 outer blades to help reduce temperature? It's getting to summer and if you can share an effective modification, that would be great. I yesterday further under-clocked my six already under-clocked S5s to 300MHz from 312.5MHz in order to stay under 65C.

I feel your pain, i had mine inside in my second bedroom (right next to the one i sleep in) and my gf wasnt too pleased. so i had to put them in the garage. which gets REALLY hot. if bitmain enclosed the damn miner on all 4 sides air would flow better and I really wish they chose a fan that was more "home miner" friendly in terms of noise they could increase the size of the miner to accommodate the bigger fan and it would decrease noise. thats why they are in the garage gf couldnt sleep with the noise. i only have 2 S5's too.

I think he did... and as someone responded to him in another thread that fan need to be connected directly to the molex connector on the PSU not to the control PCB.

someone tried to put fans DELTA TFC1212DE
on miner S5?
on miner S5?
yes i put one of these fans on as second fan in pull.
its about the same as the original fan on loudness and air flow..
I substituted with the original, but they will not start
you didnt try to plug in 8 amps of fans into the s5 controller?

*made quote smaller so post uses less room.
Part of it is your using a quality PSU all the EVGA supernova's are high quality. If you compared it to a cheap brand I would guess difference would be bigger. Not all brands are equal on quality.
I am surprised it was only 18 watts though. I would have not bet on that being difference.
So i have 1 S5 plugged into a 1300w supernova power supply and the other plugged into a 1600w supernova
S5 plugged into 1300w supernova: pulls 603w
S5 plugged into 1600 titanium rated superova: pulls 585w
box fan at full speed: 150w
using a titanium rated power supply is sooo not worth it. only saving me 18w? lol

I don't think anybody should be surprised by an 18W difference at a power draw of 600W. That's about a 3% difference. The differences between Gold/Platinum/Tinanium/etc aren't really all that large. The basic Wikipedia entry shows only a 4% difference: See:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/80_Plus
So if you have a high quality Gold that beats it's numbers by a bit, then you have a 3% difference. The big jump was from Bronze to gold. When you are at 92% efficiency, there isn't a lot left.
One other small item. There isn't anything that says the two S5's are identical in terms of their actual power draw.If you switched the S5's between the power supplies, you might a larger or smaller difference.
I think Crypto is in general correct that the differences between an EVGA Gold and an EVGA
I wonder if PSU manufacturers test and rate and grade their power supplies like an ASIC vendor would. Might a Gold power supply be a Titanium that didn't quite make the grade for Titanium after it's manufactured? Wouldn't be hard to put a different label on it at the end.

This is really annoying. im on my second power supply. this power supply is 1600w titanium supernova from evga. all blades are directly plugged into the power supply. none are being powered by the second plug on a cord. they are all 1:1 (one plug/one connector. they both drop in hashrate by half intermittently (one of the blades drop in temp during this time to 35c). ive tried the latest firmware. one of the blades is running 12c hotter than the other. i thought since this was the 5th batch that I wouldnt have so many problems. guess i was dreaming.
edit: the blades be so far apart in temps is a cooling issue i think. put a box fan in front of it and now they are only 3c apart in temps
edit: the blades be so far apart in temps is a cooling issue i think. put a box fan in front of it and now they are only 3c apart in temps
When you say 12 degrees hotter what temp is it getting? Is it 12 above 35 IE 47?
If it is 47 that is not a bad temp on S5's. They do tend to run hot. As far as 12 difference It could be a bad temp sensor, airflow, hard to say. But main thing is you have one accurate one to stop it if it get's to hot which it sounds like you do. The hotter one if it's around 50 instead of 37 I would guess is the one closer to right on temp.
One blad would be 55 and the other would be 67....
Ohh ouch that is not what I was expecting. Did you just get this miner or have you been mining a little bit?
If just got it you might put in ticket with bitmain support about it and see what they say. With it being 67 I think they might give you opportunity to redo thermal paste on the higher blade. (I would ask them first as I'm assuming it's under warranty and don't want you to possibly lose that).
They already gave me the go ahead to redo the thermal paste. just seeing what i can do before i go that far.
I think trying to power these 2 S5's with one power supply was a bad idea from the get go. they both just dropped to 700gh/s and 800gh/s. might have to split these up. im runnning out of ideas.
That sounds like possibly powering one blade on each. Which is weird as your 1600 should be able to power both easily.
Thermal paste is messy and takes some time, but I have a feeling that is where it's heading. The good news is there is a decent shot that will be the fix. Bad thing is it's a pain and you need to buy a bit of thermal paste.
