Dogie is wrong that it is not cooler at least in my case. It is cooler this way with 1 unit in a 12 by 12 by 7.5 very well insulated room.
That's not what I was saying. Given a homogeneous environment its not going to make any difference. If you take it to an extreme of a single 600W unit in a unit with a window open, of course the floor is going to be cooler.
This is simply a case of
if dogie did not suggest the idea, its a bad idea. The OP clearly stated that he's got several S5's in the vertical configuration and philipma1957 is simply confirming that it works for a single unit too! What is so hard to understand about that?
My only issue is Dogie; he was helpful with the wiring diagram for using two PSUs with 3 miners; but more often then not he seems misinformed on a lot of different topics. I am not even 100% convinced he actually works for Bitmain or just self appointed himself. But that's a whole other issue.
So because I suggested you should add a "this will void your warranty" disclaimer, you take it personally? Either way I'd rather you not like me then customers' ability to use their warranty be damaged, should they need it.
No, the OP said
you seem misinformed on a lot of different topics and that he was not 100% sure you actually work for Bitmain. I actually know the OP's sentiment to be accurate, and there is nothing personal about that in my or OP's case. As the OP said, that is borne true by your fabricated terms of warranty which you have been peddling all over this forum for your own selfish, self gratification (there's a special term for that ..... I am sure you know what it is).
I can confirm that I noticed an improvement in temps on a vertically positioned S3. I only run it for a few hours on a day that was warmer than it has been in the last week and the temps on both blades were down by 3 and 5 respectively (whatever units they use) for the duration. I need to get a more sturdy mesh on which to deploy them for the long term so I'll do this when I next get some free time over the coming weekend.
To further add, and I mean this half jokingly and half not so much; is that I almost want to simply believe that Dogie isnt even an actual human, rather some sort of software chat bot, with high intelligence for communication in forums.
The reason I say that is his replies to posts almost never address the issues he is commenting on accurately. They seem to stray off topic, or ignore the spirit of the original post altogether. It just very much seems like recycled babble.
Either that or his English comprehension is just poor, and doesn't fully understand what he's reading, or what the responses he posts actually communicate.
Dogie; a test (which I feel even the most sophisticated chat bot would not be able to solve). If a tree was cut down with an axe in the middle of a forest, and no one was around to hear the sound. Would it make a sound?
