Sad to say that I did everything that everyone suggested and nothing worked:

- Power cycled: Problem Persisted
- Switched PSU with another Corsair CX 750: Problem Persisted
- Lowered Frequency to 300: Problem Persisted

Its giving me 6-10% HWs...

Heres an image showing the S5 hashing at 350 Freq with another PSU: http://imgur.com/VOKDPll

Thank you, ill try all of that as soon as I get home. On another note, do you think 1 EVGA 1300 gold PSU  can stand the load of two S5?

I also have a friend who went out on a trip for 15 days and when he came back he had one board full of xxxxxxxxxx. He tells me he just rebooted and it went back up.

Well the first thing one should do is power cycle it. Then swap the connectors. Then swap PSU. Someone with a genuinely new broken S5 board happen regularly, so that could be the case. But i see people with not actually broken hardware more often.

Also, what is your PSU?

Excuse my ignorance, but what do you mean by power cycling it? Im running it on a Corsair CX750

My guess is the psu has given up the ghost.  it is borderline good for the s-5.

since it still runs some what.  change the freq to 300 see if it works better

You unplug the PSU for 10-20 seconds waiting for the power already in the circuit to dissipate, then you turn it back on. Its the first thing you do, equivalent to restarting your router when your network is acting up. (Though power cycling the router might be a more effective way to trouble shoot networking issues as well)

Look at the board see if you can see anything missing or damaged/burnt.  If you see anything iffy take a good quality picture and post it in this thread, if you can or are willing to try a repair we can point you in a direction to hopefully get your board running again.

Sure, give me a moment. I will upload pictures as soon as possible.

This happened last night after 6 months of hashing no problem. It hasn't had the smoothest Internet in the world and Im aware of the No Internet fan problem on this devices.. Any advice or comment?

Thank you
