Yes please take pictures no aluminum body is very surprising.  I don't think they showed a unit without it on S5+ so please share it with us.

Mine is still working great.  



It looks like its aluminum but I could be wrong.  Is it the fan you were saying is not aluminum?     But yea hit up bitmain - https://bitmain.zendesk.com/hc/en-us and get a new fan.

"dream box"






Tested. S5 + works with  S5 18 pin controller board.

So, buy an S5+, break it up into 3 units, and re-sell?  Is this something we're going to see happening on the used market?  Would be really cool!

Tupsu, man, why don't you post this in s5+ thread? not in a personal thread?

@notlist3d: Too bad that you want to keep the warranty! really wanted to see some underclock and underclock, temps, and kw consumption  Grin

yeah whoever "purchased" these were more than likely scammed, it seems pretty obvious at this point

Today I received my last S5+ and I feel well like scammed from BITMAIN.
1. No aluminium body.
2. one totally broken fan.

Interesting, can you please post pictures? They will most probably release new batch soon and people will buy it. Broken fan feels like its been used for a while, is there actually a way to learn the age of the miner (through firmware perhaps)?

Last batch of s5+: SCAM LINK REMOVED

This is probably a scam!

Note that the text of the link above says "bitmaintech.com", but the actual domain is "bitmaintech.co". Looks like "bitmaintech.co" was registered on Friday August 21st, 2015.

The main bitmaintech.com site says nothing about batch 2.

'The right to privacy matters'

I want to try to down clock it   using 3 of these

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00C9UUFHC?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00

I am thinking I can get it as low as 310 watts at 1th


 It is not possible. Transformer High Power 15A .

3 of them from the same psu should work

send 110 watts to each blade .

there are  3 blades in ⅓ of the s-5+

Well it definitely passed the no networking/internet test.  Still getting it all kinda setup with my faster internet.  Was at least 30 minutes without like I said earlier.

No issues during that 30 minutes.  And after I fixed it up no issues at all today.  Working great still a very solid miner.

In my humble opinion information and experience are more valuable than post count or trust-rating every day of the week.  
So again, a sincere thank you to both for sharing your findings.
 


I share  again one finding .

You can use new S5 Hash PCB  ( 18 pin connector)   with S5 Control PCB  (16 pin connectors) Need only a 16 pin cable.
Picture of my water cooling S5 project    3 x old blade + 1x new 18 pin blade.

Well first good test of what happens when something goes wrong.  My networking to my mining area went down it's middle of night here.   Quick look at all the networking no quick fix.  

The miner looked fine I was worried without internet if it had problems as some S5's did.  But nothing visibly wrong at all.   So turned it off just to be safe with no networking.  I will be fixing it early in a few hours on what ever network problem I have into mining area.

Good news from  this font my miner was without internet/network for 30 minutes or so last night before I just unplugged it.  No damage no issues no bad things that people experienced from S5 did I run into.

Today I was able to find the cause of problem was new router needed reset.   Which is weird as router seemed fine, but that was the fix.   I recently got 1000 Mbps internet connection upgrade so a few different components when that happened.

But after fixing network connectivity let blades boot up then controller and worked like a charm.  It is running right now no issues now that network problem is sorted out.

That is great to hear. I have been concerned about such and started making a list of items to (have my friend) check. This is at the top of the list.

I am also making a list of items to run up the flagpole at the BITMAIN support desk. If you or anyone have any questions maybe we can make a consolidated list and I will volunteer to submit them together since I plan to get some answers to a few of my own items.

Thanks for sharing your experiences. It is a big help to all owners and 'friends of owners' to the S5+.

It is great you are sharing your findings and taking steps to show how these may be used. I have some questions I hope you may help with.
If I missed the answers to these items please simply point me to them.

Did you purchase a spare S5+ control board or is the one you are using one which came with an S5+? IF purchased separately could you share a part number, price, or any information regarding the purchase? I would like to have a spare control board since it (is possible) will do double duty as an S5+ and an S5 backup. Could you PM me on this if it isn't something you wish to share publicly? Obviously I hope we don't see 25 people bumrush BITMAIN to purchase a control board. I think a spare is a good idea.

What are your feelings on the S5+ control board being a central point of failure for 4 - 5 S5 miners? You mention running 4.5 S5s with the S5+ control board. I remember seeing a thread with water cooled S5s, I need to do some searching, but can you point me that direction if you have all of the temps, pics, etc documented?

With regards to running the 4.5 S5s using the S5+ control board is the thought you retain the original S5 control boards to use as backups if needed so the only potential 'down' component(s) are the S5+ modules if you have a failure? Or, is it more about having a central location for all I/O. (I am using I/O in this context for electrical and mechanical items along with a central software location.)

Have you used the S5 control boards on the S5+ modules?
Could you share which version of control boards for the S5 and S5+ you are using to perform which task?
For example if using the S5 control board to run S5+ modules it would be great to confirm which version of the S5 control board you are using. Either way it is great to document for future endeavours. I can see people attempting to match things up down the line as I see people doing now for the S3, S3+, etc. I myself am tracking down control board revision information for the S3 and S5. Anything you have will be helpful.

Do you have any pictures showing the S5+ control board connected to multiple S5 units?
I have not investigated the specifics myself, but reading there is a difference in pinouts (something about 16 pin to 18 pin) I wondered if you had to offset the connector somehow, shift to the left or right, or some equivalent to make it run correctly. A picture of this with clear details would be fantastic.


In my humble opinion information and experience are more valuable than post count or trust-rating every day of the week.  
So again, a sincere thank you to both for sharing your findings.

Interesting for running S5+ boards on S5 controller.

I suppose this also mean you could run some salvaged S5+ blades on S5 controllers later on. That could come in handy.


With S5+ controller I can run
4½ x Antminer S5 .
That's perfect, for my  water cooled S5 miner with 6 blades, which is currently with two controllers.


Today I have a 3 from  S5+ separated  block with different controller.  Three small "Dream Boxes"

I put them mine here
https://www.nicehash.com/?p=miners&addr=1N6av3woss8VGtb1b9cNwpkbmzCNRw7Xr8&a=1&l=1

and leave for 24 hours.
the frequency is 362.5

You can compare with one S5+

Very cool thanks for sharing your results.   It's pretty sweet that it's doing all that.

Almost makes you want to get the controller if you have a regular S5's makes it very nice to have all on one controller and set them all at once.
