Nice to see you got one so quick and providing details on units. What is the current power drain on unit on full load working and chugging away at the blockchain. 3436W reading on the spec is insane for me to run a unit running fully each day would brake about £10 per day to run it, so I doubt would be cost effective for me running one. Whats your current work out on it in terms of energy from socket etc and use? Have you looked into the power use of it yet?
I can tell it's pulling 15 amps worth of electricity from my PDU which put's it around spec area. My standard kill-a-watt does not have the same plug as I used on the 240. So cant use it.
I'm hoping in next couple of day's I can try to get PDU's networking to work and hopefully it tells a little more details. But again it was second hand through ebay and I'm not sure the network plug works on it the PDU from initial test.
I have around 11k watts running in new mining area after this. And a tad in old area. But this miner will use every bit of the power the say on specs. Bitmain say you need 16 amp to run miner and I would agree with this. You could do it from two 110's but I went with 240 volt 30 amp which I am very happy with currently. Needless to say I think my electricity company loves me.
wow at 11k of energy being used and indeed no doubt your energy company is loving you no doubt about that. Hat to see your energy bills at the end of the year what put into it. Just hope you got a good rate off them and are succeeding in paying energy and making some coin at the end of the day too. Would love to have more equipment but stopped mining since the days of S1 and gave up. Maybe if the new miners such as the S5+ come down in price and BTC price go up ill be in with a chance at owning one. Till that happens am sticking to trading or buying coins and maybe look into cloud mining in the future. Loving the work put into what your doing sure does give everyone an insight as to what look like and whats what with them
Thank you for the kind words. I enjoy tinkering with electronics and computers. And really enjoy documenting and playing with miners.
Even with one miner down currently I'm hitting around 13.4K total between two areas. Eventually I will part with some of them and sell a few miners, but I have not reached that point yet. I am lucky that I live on a true farm (like crop and cattle) and power company is use to seeing jumps.
Went out and checked it is a mild day around 80 F. The S5+ is still doing a much better job getting rid of heat then the regular S5. So I'm calling it a sucess on dealing with heat compared to regular S5 since it has ran for around 20 hours at this point. As far as noise my mining area is very noisy so not a issue for me. But it is loud enough you would not want to put it in an area you want quiet.
