Got my first S17 Pro (50TH model) up and running. As smooth of a startup as typical with Antminers. Just plugged in both power cords and viola.
I've only tried "normal" mode so far and I'm getting 51 TH on average and about 2050 Watts measured with my smart switch. So right at 40 J/TH efficiency. The noise seems similar to other antminers. Not noticeably louder to me but then again I have 40 antminers running in my garage so I probably wouldn't notice. And I haven't tried turbo mode.
Edit1: Turbo mode results: 57 TH, 2500 Watts - 43.8 J/TH. Pretty impressive! And not really any louder that I can tell.
Edit2: Low power mode: 40 TH, 1540 Watts - 38.5 J/TH.
Below is a pic of it and the dashboard. I'll be trying the other modes when I get a chance.

They have to stand for a reason: Heats goes up, and you want the boards to have the same relative dissipation, not the lower ones dissipating to the top ones. Other than that, nice results.
Also repeating the exact same pool url is pointless. If you want same pool failover, try the same pool different nodes. For slushpool you could use something like:
stratum+tcp://us-east.stratum.slushpool.com:3333
stratum+tcp://ca.stratum.slushpool.com:3333
stratum+tcp://stratum.slushpool.com:3333This is just in case a node fails or something. If you only fill 1, that 1 is going to be endlessly retried anyway you don't have to repeat it twice or thrice.
