So i guess this is my last post. Been a month with 0 issues...
I think I could run the S5 out there now if I want.
My next test will be heat tests in the summer. What's the max heat/humidity these things can handle
Thanks for watching and I hope my production gets better, and I can provide some cool, new, interesting reviews for you guys

You look like you have similar weather over there.
I actually have DDWRT on a router running as a client bridge. It saved running a cable and works great for the Antminers. I can put 4 on it and connect to my router in my house .

Oh, I should have laid an ethernet to my garage in the summer...
I had to move the power cable two weeks ago as it was in the way and thus the reboot.
Other than that 14 days stable outsdie still

Nice. I find the cold helps.. -40 is a whole different world than -12 though 
when your car won't start after 6 hours if its not plugged in its not very fun sometimes. -12 isn't exactly summer either!
I'd love to see a picture of your "winter rig"

I have outdoors (under roof, but without walls) a lot of miners :-) - Antminers S4, S3+, C1 (without water cooling), Innosilicon A1, A2...
Sometimes was -12C, now about 0C.
It is working better then inside, I will post later some screen shots.

i have BFL singles, want to test? hahaha
HAHAHA.
I'm keeping my S5 inside. Plus I don't want to give you any extra paperwork
It would be fun to put a few out there though. I could use the heat. lol

Cool Video! Thank you!!!
But please don't kill them and make me work...

Guess no one wants to send me any miners to test out in the cold. haha
The worst part is our winter hasn't started yet. The snow on my yard will be higher than my vehicle by the end of winter.

Hahaha thank you very much!!!
If they send me a message I am more than willing to help. I'll make many videos, reviews, tutorials etc. (with much better quality)
At the same time I know companies don't succeed by giving products away, but I do have over 92k views on my channel so I can hope right?
Here is today's temp in Celsius. The "feels like" is with the wind chill. S1 is still hashing away!
At least its going to be half decent for a few days before it gets much colder here

I hope they see this and agree. Ill run a few more breakers out there. lol I'll even clean it up and use the good cameras/mics for my videos. haha
or set up a 24 hour camera feed inside/outside so you can see how crappy it is out, temperature, and miner status.

I threw them both a pm
- no response yet though 
Wow extreme arctic testing!! Think we can run an S4 with no fans at those temps they are way to noisy mine is in my garage already but my temps don't even come close the coldest i saw so far this winter was 9F

BITMAIN and Spondoolies-Tech should each sponsor an S5 and SP20 to your garage.
That way we could have a true showoff between the two best Companies at the moment.
Lets go bitmain and Spondoolies-Tech

If anyone wants to send me a miner I'll test it in the cold and let you know haha. I can't afford to buy any more right now.
If you have a miner that doesn't like the cold take a rubber made container or something and put it over top to trap the heat.. Cut a hole for some ventilation.
Our summers get hot too. I'll maybe do another review when were +36c in the garage.

My S4 right now...
http://screencast.com/t/j0FpD49Z8 - Most would die for temps like this on an S4 and I did get it down to 29 Degrees. However, it is in perfect conditions, alone, in an abandoned bathroom in my home with its own window, middle of the winter, in Northern Ontario, Canada.
It does not like being below 35 though, chips start to show faults, it needs to be minimally warm; 40 I found is best.

Nice video on the other hand I had my s1 running up to 45c room temperature in south east Europe summer time and still worked fine with two fans off course
Any s3 testing???

hit -38F last night. still hashing away. I guess now it will be time... how long can it handle the extremes. Maybe i'll give an update in a month, or if it dies... These things are tanks though. I think it will be fine
I'll push it. haha. my s5 is my baby. this is just a toy
What do you mean by push it? try and over clock like a madman?
My friend an I bought the s1's at the same time (used) his was a start. this one got a TON of HW errors.. still within spec but was never an "overclocker"
Moving it out to the cold DRASTICALLY lowered the HW errors but it still throws quite a few... I suppose i can push it a bit harder to see what happens though. not like temps are going to give me any trouble
