I will second the statement the S5+ has been a solid performer so far.
The hashrate on mine runs 7.64ish.
I have never seen anything which displayed hashrate stay as close as this S7 does.
485x on the dot every second.

How come, with over 7Th and 40 days running (impressive!), your best share is only 592k? My little 2GH nanofury sticks out perform that in a day!
It could possibly be a display error. Some stats seem to show up wrong after around day 20. They just did not intend for this machine to be on this long without down time I don't think.
It's not showing it now but if you have very low hardware errors and can get around 20 day's it's possible to get a negative HW errrors... which is impossible. So I suspect some of the equations or display of status after long times of running can go wrong.
But I won't complain
. This miner just keeps on going which makes it easy as I have had to do nothing to help it mine in over a month.

And I have hit over 40 day's of running and no issues. Really is a great miner if you got a good one very stable:
So far this is my record on the S5+ we will see how much higher I can go.

. That is really impressive, especially given all the problems people reported with the S5. It's like they brought back the S1 bullet proof-ness for the S5+. I hope their S7s run as smoothly.
Now if only my electricity was priced such that I could run any of these new machines...

I don't know if I got lucky or the ones that posted with bad results got un-lucky. But this is honestly a rock solid rig. I was worried with all the PCIe cables, and the warnings they give you.
But I have been able to hit a month of running multiple times in this thread. It really does just keep running, I wish the power company did not turn off power for my reign for upgrades or I likely would have 60 day's on run time without issue.
I would not give my S5+ up right now. I'm having amazing luck with a lot of hash for 1 miner. If you get a good one this miner is highly recommended.

I really do love this machine. Hit 30 day's again. Set it and forget it... that is a nice concept in mining.
Still working great. I am up to 16 day's. Something interesting is once again it hit neg HW errors which is impossible. So something with the math of HW errors goes neg if you run it LONG term without any problems, and have low hw errors.
starting to get more and more jealous! i will look for an s5+ for myself just for fun! and hash powaaaa! 
I still am having good luck with my unit. It has been a week since I lost power for electric company upgrade. And unit has ran solid ever since then:
Very low amount of hardware error's. And over a weeks worth of mining. The interesting thing is no longer does HW errors show a neg number which was impossible. So maybe it was just a glitch that once or it could have been from running 20+ days without issue. Guess we will see depending on what this hw error shows in a week or two.

Well my power went off from power company (something to do with upgrading line). My miner made it to almost 25 day's running with no issues.
I really still say it's a solid miner. Sadly my test of seeing how long it could run without issue power company stopped that. And I think they are doing it once more this weekend. Good news S5+ had no issue with power off and came up back fine.

And 20 day's up. If you get a good one it really is a good miner, in my case I have not had to touch it's settings in over 20 day's it keeps on a hashing.
It does show a neg hardware which I still find interesting after it being pointed out. Makes me wonder if it's equation is off.

I'm disappointed with the heatsink falling off. I was hoping they would treat them like gold with RMA and get you perfect boards.
Was one heatsink all that fell off? Or did others seem loose?
I put with a akasa thermal adhesive tape a second radiator from BFL Single 25GH/s , and it seems that everything is working.
But I'm also disappointed. I noticed the missing radiator only when I started to put blades in the place .
I found the missing radiator in bubble wrap.
It seems that this time it is used thermal adhesive tape, not glue.
But I'm sure it's not a good design. Poor material for bonding the radiators, and more are not needed. Radiators fall like apples from the apple tree. Chinese autumn. Radiators were ready for picking.
I'm happy they decided to use them though. On the regular S5 they went back and forth on if units had heatsinks. So I think loose is better then none.
But it does seem they need to choose another adhesive for shipment to customers.

I received today a parcel from China .
Inside were two blades from S5 +

View the last image. One of the radiator is already off.
Of course, they did not send me a new FAN to replace the damaged fan...
Shitmain Chinese warranty in all its glory.
I decided not to buy any more S7.
I have already sent back to China 3 x S5+ hashing boards.
Shipping costs total over 120 euro.
S7 has the same miserable Design as S5+.
And it is really a poor thermo adhesive clue , which they used for S5+. You also can not put a new and better clue themselves.
You can not just remove the old glue.
If something happens to one of the S7 blades, you have to send back to China at the own expense over half a kilo radiators.

As you can see, at least one radiator is broken off during transport.
It looks like two heat sinks broke off before it got to you. Were they loose inside when you opened it up, or did they forget to put them on?
Here is showing an S5+ when it works properly. Here is after 14 day's of solid running no issues all chips and boards look good:
There seem to be a software bug in the calculation of hardware errors? Probably not too big of an issue at those clocks but still.
It is hashing fine as far as pool side so I'm not worried on it. I'm sure there is some error in calculation part of it could be with it running so long, I think most miners don't make it to the 15 day mark without a restart or something to reset clock.
