The S1 and S3 had a setting in one of the config files where you could set a goal temp for the fans. Any idea where the S5 might store that setting? I figure if I can raise the goal temp a bit, I can make them a smidge quieter.
I don't, sorry.

hi Dogie, thanks again for your great post. one question, is there some way to implement load balancing? thanks again for your time and considerate reply.
1) SSH to S5, Login root/admin
2) Type "screen -r". Wait for all the messages to go through.
3) Type "P" to enter Pool Management.
4) Type "C" for Change Management Strategy.
5) Select one of the following: "0"-Failover(default), "1"-Round Robin, "2"-Rotate, "3"-Load Balance, "4"-Balance.
- Load balance requires quotas to be setup first (via "Q"). Balance uses equal share across configured pools. Read the cgminer readme files for more detail.
6) Press Enter key to exit Pool Management menu. Should now be back at main cgminer menu.
7) Exit screen session by issuing "Ctrl-A", "Ctrl-D". (Hold down Ctrl key, press "a/A", then "d/D".
8 ) Now back at shell prompt.

Anybody know - would an S5 run properly if you plugged another fan and two more cards in to it (provided you powered the two additional cards with a sufficient PSU)?
Because the situation is that one of my two S5s came DOA - the top PCB is defective and I'm waiting for a replacement. Worth the risk of plugging the two cards on the broken miner into my working S5?

I wouldn't try it, those cables are also mightly short. By DOA, what do you mean? We can probably get it going again.

According to the video on face book with the CEO of bit main the ^ should power two S5 with no issues. the ones i linked on amazon I got deals on as used but were really new and if you know how to you can use the 6 or 7 year warr they come with no question asked if you have to . but right now i can't say i would recommend any thing, waiting for my S5 to come.
Yoshi is not the CEO of Bitmain, its just labelled wrong
He's very very important in the US though. Is there a connector on the controller board to connect a WiFi antenna?
according to this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Azif7Gditxg there is no WiFi . sadly for you .
What PSU do you recommend?
to be honest I'm using what i was using on my S1 and S3 and its looks like they will work just fine with my S5 once i have them .
but i use these

Hello there,
I'm from Russia and have ordered 1 x ANTMINER S5 BATCH 4.
Now I need some advice from you ...
I have a new out of the box PSU Fractal Design NEWTON R3 80PLUS® Platinum
http://www.fractal-design.com/home/product/power-supplies/newton/newton-r3-600w
and I'll going in anyway to connect it to S5.
Which are the potential minuses I'll get if use the PSU NEWTON R3 with Antminer S5? Please list all if it possible.
Thanks.

This might help you https://www.facebook.com/Bitmaintech.Antminer : face book and on bit mains site under batch 3 it says somerthing aobut what you asking so that PSU should be fine if your not worried about speeds .
When better power efficiency is needed in the future due to higher network difficulties, you may want to buy some special PSUs 9V DC with more than 10A output, which will allow you to have a 0.2J/GH mining efficiency, but at lower hashing speed.
but they are right you will need a higher PSU if you plan to over clock i used that as a example nothing more. just to make a point that it should be ok under clocked by what the tech's say on bit mains site i think i need to stress that and what others say here before some one take what i said in the wrong light.
I have Six of batch 4 coming over the next 7 weeks or sooner two this week and two more the next week then two more maybe three weeks later. selling stuff on E bay .
Trialing some new formatting tweaks on this guide. Feedback is appreciated.
1) Section colors changed to more eye friendly ones
2) Line breaks changed to width limited images to prevent them filling the entire page width
3) Code boxes enclosed to prevent them filling the entire page width
4) Page will now display in full at ~1350px width. Can't get it down to 1280 due to too much padding in the forum code. Approximately 24% of users will need to zoom out very slightly.

Thanks kano for additional data
50% load on platinum psu. The efficiency about 94%. So the load is about 564 watt on 12V rail.
If using 600 watt psu, that's 93% load. Yes, it's will work, but too much strain on psu.
Load percent = wall * efficiency [0 to 1] / capacity
So you actually have 2 unknown variables as load percent varies on efficiency and vice versa. Had to read 6 reviews to find someone who actually characterised it at 240V, as Seasonic don't publish their own graphs.
We can estimate from the graph that eff is going to be about 0.935 over our entire range, so lets go with that.
Load percent = wall * efficiency [0 to 1] / capacity
Load percent = 600 * 0.935 / 1200
Load percent = 47% = 560W = same as yours.
560W is still fine on a 600W PSU as most good brands hold 10% 24/7 capacity in reserve on top of their ratings. Ie the CX750M will do 825W, the RM1000 1100W as long as you're not running in a 40C [50C for RM1000] ambient. Even those that don't rate with a 10% reserve, 560 on 600W is still acceptable for a good brand.
Heh, I posted this in the wrong thread when I read the question without realising it wasn't the S5 thread
I repost it here for those who want to know:
The cgminer config file is:
/config/cgminer.conf
FYI - the S5 uses a BBB like the S2 so it looks the same when you ssh in (root/admin)
So the editable area that survives a reflash and a reboot is /config/
The startup init is /etc/init.d/cgminer.sh
When you ssh in, if you wish to watch cgminer:
TERM=xterm screen -r

That psu is not sufficient for S5.
S5 power consumption is about 660 watt. You need to use at least pure 750 watt psu.
S5 power consumption is 600W at the wall, that means ~500W pre PSU. The PSU is fine for a single S5. The may die prematurely if the quality is not enough, but then you can warranty replace it.
Of course i can't say more about power consumption since i don't own S5. The 660 watt on wall is from other review.
The exact consumption in 12V rail in unknown.
Maybe in future bitmain and other company can provide this data since we buy psu based on amperage capability.

You can't undervolt with that (or pretty much any) PSU so don't worry about that. You can underclock as normal though.
