Nice setup! I'm jealous of your cheap power. I'm guessing you live in Quebec with those prices.

I'm just across the river in Ontario and I pay over twice as much. Sad

Should probably have your miner ran over in our side. Maybe a friend with a garage? You pay the electricity, they get free heat? Anyways.

I'm wondering if its possible to get industrial electricity rate in a small office or such. That would cut the electricity cost by almost another half and you dont have to hear the noise. Keep the quiet miner at home during winter for generating free heat + BTC.

We're going to need a bigger heatsink.

I have a few questions now.

Are my settings ok ?
Would you overclock the S5 a little bit more ?
If I underclock, should I lower the voltage of the S4 manually, and if thats the case, which is there any voltage shart somewhere?

From now on I like a lot my Bitcoin Mining experience, any other canadian fellow out there? Wink

I am from Canada~

The free heat/cooling is pretty nice, i use low fan speed on both miners to cut on the noise.

Anyways, if you setup custom firmware on the S4 you could change the voltage, but otherwise the volt thing won't actually be applied. Apparently old S4 that were not updated still have working Volt control, it was only removed later on.

Personally i don't trust the S4 stock PSU, many people had a problem with it, so i would not overclock it further than 212, personally i run 200 or 206 and i set the volt to 0670 or 0710. I'm just being extra careful here, but since my limitation now is more watt capacity at home, i preferred to run them undervolted at 200mhz and just run extra S1's (amazing little heaters that run 100% silent and can be placed anywhere

).

For the S5 however, you could certainly overclock some. I run all mine at 393(1.29~1.3TH/s), except one that run 400(1.32TH/s+).

For S5 noise, i now run the fan at their minimum speed (2400RPM~) and just feed outdoor air to them and having 2 fans on them really help the cooling, its insane.

Everything looks good. Glad you're taking advantage of mining with low $/kWh for heating as well.

Antminer S4 - Antminer S5

1 Antminer S4 - Bitmain Stock PSU
1 Antminer S5 - 800w/1000w PSU with 4x soldered PCI-E plugs (14AWG Cables) (Server-grade HP DPS-800GBA)

Mining on Antpool.

0.06 $ CAD / KwH or 0.045 $ USD / KwH

Using the miners in my basement where there is 2 rooms. Miners are used as electric heaters to heat both rooms.

Maybe Ill replace my cloth dryers and help growing some marijuana plants using fans and heat power, expecting a better use of my miners to achieve a better roi.

Frenquency used ;

S4 - 212.5M, 0720 V
S5 - 375M

Max temp recorded so far ; 60°

Hashing Average speed ;

S4 - 2,115 GH/s
S5 - 1,215 GH/s
Total = 3,330 GH/s

Edit ; Antminer S4 Frequency now at 218.75 and 0.725 V
Antminer S5 at 425 Frequency

About 3,585 GH/s now
