an EVGA G2 1300 works just fine even at 1400W at the wall... I've run it for quite a while like this.
1200 load is not a problem at all

BitMainWarranty recently stated on the S5 thread that it would be highly advisable not to OC the S5.
so, it's ~1.1TH/s for 0.51w/GH and that's what you get
I'm not too bothered about the noise, after reading thru philipma1957's thread, i've found a very sweet spot for my SP20 that makes it unhearable in the next room unless I turn off the telly and tell the missus to sssshhhhhhh.
ADD: the missus never ssssshhhhhh's.
On the other hand it has been said that you should be able to undervolt the s5 (via a special PSU) in order to reach much more efficient w/gh efficiencies)so, it's ~1.1TH/s for 0.51w/GH and that's what you get

2 of these with a slight freq downclock will run on an evga 1300.
if this miner allows a freq that gives 1000gh at .51 watts that is 1020 watts and 2000 gh on one evga g2 cost for 2 is
about 900 usd shipped to the usa
who would buy a special psu especially for a miner?!?!
do u guys know how much a special psu cost? overall it might be good to stay with bm1382 than upgrade to bm1384 and buy a special psu! at least for ~4months, nre miners are underway!

Guys can we stay on topic plz? This is the S5 thread. I have a question. The only information I cant find on the S5 is the noise level, the db rating. Does anyone know what it is? I know it varies based on heat, but is the db rating more or less than an S3+?

if you can fit this fan on the s-5
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00A460TK6/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
and you downclock the s-5 just a little say to 950gh it will win the quiet war over the sp20.
Having had s-3's and s-1's and being able to make them close to silent I will try to do this with the s-5.
I found my sound meter and the sp20 at fan of 10 downclocked to 1025gh using 477 watts is not quiet. it is 64db at 1 meter.
The pitch is not nasty and if I were single I could deal with it.
The fan I linked only fits one end of the s-3 not both but it helps make the s-3 pretty quiet.
down clock the s-3 to 212 freq add 1 silverstone fan and it beats the sp20 for noise easy.
I am supposed to get an s-5 for a demo to review. I am fair and will show it's best and worst features.
I believe it will win the sound war over the sp20.
But this is only a belief at this time.
If you were to wait for the review I do you will see what I like about it. As of today I am waiting for some notice of the unit for shipping.

i guess i can tell you as soon as mine arrives. Single fan and open top, it's not going to be as quiet as the S3 i can only presume.
never ever and forever buy batch 1! i want to upgrade all my s2 and s3 to sp20 and u buy s5
maybe u are the lucky one not the get an s5 hotter burning than prisma
I have indeed broken my own golden rule. but I also ordered one of those technobit things batch1 so I guess i've finally gotten over being stung by Hashfail. It's been over a year now so I suppose time heals.

i'm a little overclock maniak athlon 1700+, pentium631, e8600... got an -80c cascade...
i'll try it cause i dont mind the w/GH
if nothing work then 1,6 or 1,5 is fine for me

well it's certainly going to be a safer bet than the S5

i'll try to reach 1.8 with my sp20. spill its boards an hit them with multiple fans
i'm with u, i'll buy a piece or few(if the price is good) but only used!

meh.
you won't get it to 1.8
believe me, i watched philipma1957 do his downclock thing and I tried like a bishop in brothel to push it the opposite direction... if you get 1.7, you'll be draining power... but it is a spectacular piece of electronics when you d/clock. In the era we are in in BTC mining, w/GH is everything.

u cant use overclock in the same sentence with sp20, sorry
my first new bought miners are 2 sp20 and i hope they get fast here!

i quite agree, and i'll reiterate.. 1.5/1.6THs would have held it in higher regard.. with basic medium settings you should get 1.5TH/s.. on turbo it should put it to 1.65TH/s... but if you go advanced in the config, you should be able to push it up to 1.68 or 1.69TH/sI run mine at 500w and get 1.1TH/s.. pretty much what BMT are trying to sell with the S5, which is completely non-overclockable, as pointed out on their main s5 thread. to be honest it's a bit of a disappointment, but i'll buy a few to put on ebay.

sp20 configurable up? i wnat to see a 1.8th/s sp20!
carefull with the s5! it should have come out from stock on 17 last month!
bugs maybe? .....
i'll wait for c2!

I concur, Sp-Tech should have had SP20 marketed at 1.5-1.6TH/s.
HOWEVER... overclock and underclock are indeed superbly configurable, right down to the 0.001v
SP-Tech miner, you have to admit, no-matter what side of the fence you are on, have been and remain to be the highest quality miners on the market.
FYR... price...?

the SP20 already does what the S5 purports to be able to do.
True, SP20s are highly configurable ... up and down with power usage/per gh ... the S5 will be fairly fixed in its power consumption and hashing rate.
Would be interesting to know what db level the S5 sounds like ... The SP20 might look a little more expensive right now (Bitmain just dropped the S5 price in the last few hours) ... but the SP20 gives you room for movement and change as the market and your power supply dictates.

Let's see if the price of S3 and S4 come down after the S5 is released
Probably not... the S5 is twice the price, and a marginal power efficiency and speed improvement over the S3. It's essentially two S3s in one body, without the water cooling of the C1, plus a marginal improvement in performance.
And really they just gave people a reason not to buy the C1. They just made their own product obsolete.
The C1 was probably way to much for most people. I have zero interest in taking care of liquid cooling. I am considering the S5.
you probably want to shop around before you commit to that S5... we are moving into a dense time in mining and any rig bought now needs to be super-clockable up and down to stay profitable.
I am only running 1THash/sec. I only mine as a hobby. I have 1 S1 and 2 S3's mining away
. My S1 is for an Altcoin I love and my S3's are for bitcoin. I like having my "vote" on the network. I am tempted to get an S5 then I could shutdown the S1 and use one S3 on BTC and the other on the Altcoin I like. Not sure though, I would like to keep my power draw under 1KW. Although I suppose 1.3 Kw is pretty darn close but still. I guess I could just run the S5 and 1 S3 and keep the other one as backup. Although on the same page the heat the S1 gives off is amazing in these cold months lol, mind you slippers and sweaters are a solid and cheap counter to cold lmao.
Just trying to help here...
In the image below you see the ASIC stats page of an SP20... Divide the calc number by 0.92 to get the ~w/gh at the wall... the SP20 already does what the S5 purports to be able to do.
ADD: i have the fan set at 30 and it's in the room next to my lounge.
I can't hear it from here (before the trolls begin to presume how loud this SP20 actually is).
