Has anyone used NiceHashe's custom firmware for the S5s? I know it runs a newer version of cgminer that the latest Bitmain one. Wonder if there are any advantages/GUI updates with the nicehash one.

Also what they typical HW error rate or these? Im getting .1% on one and .003% on the other. Even though they are both really low one still produces almost a 1000x extra hardware errors.

I run the Nicehash FW with Westhash for both my S3 and S5 and the result is clearly superior -- I presume it's due to extranonce support!

Whats your reject rate? Im constantly getting around 5% for both my S5s, and im running the Bitmain 4.8 CGminer version that has extranonce support. (just at NiceHash BTW rejects on other pools is < 1%).

There seems to be a general assumption that extranonce is supported by the latest CGminer. Is it so difficult to understand that there's no support for that assumption? The CGminer version is either designed to accept that spec or it isn't! If you plan on targeting your miners at either Nice or WestHash, then I suggest you install a version of CGminer that supports their specified (no secret) communication protocol. Surely, that shouldn't be rocket science! Wake up people, smell the roses!

Using Smit's, my reject rate was around 1% on average. It'd spike from time to time, but setting right back down to below 1%.

It is due to that. Thanks to Smit we have that option on a lot of Bitmain gear. If you are going to mine long term on nicehash/westhash it really will make a difference on speed which leads to higher pay.

So for those pools it's a great tool.

Wow these heatsinks are awesome! at least some update on the S5 Grin

Indeed! I'm glad to see Bitmain trying to cool off and improve the S5. Thank you Bitmain.

I would also be curious see some real world temp difference, reported in the GUI and with a laser thermometer (rather than some guesses).

Thank you Vorta for watching and making the post, which great pics no less.

actually this looks like 1st gen ones where they used the s3 heatsinks instead of the newer specific to s5 heatsinks..

only bitmain tho can tell us for sure.

They do look very nice. I'm curious someone with new heatsink can you post your normal temps? Does it seem to keep it under the 50C mark consistently?

Thanks to anyone who does it!

I have one, the change is negligible compared to the other S5s.

It will be reducing chip temps but it might not be reflected in the readings due to that temp sensor reading a generic PCB temp.
