I don't know how adjustible that design is but you're losing a LOT of cooling by having a gap between heatsinks and fans. Like, 5C worth.

I like alot s5 that is my first miner i have connected to corsair 850 rm and is perfect!I will keep buying them!
Just to share my experience for those they are looking to change the fan as it is too loud, i have changed it with two corsair sp120 High performance pwm direct on s5 and the results are amazing it is really silent, running at 2160 and 2040 with temp usually stable at 67-69 but some time it goes to 71-72 for couple minutes.I have underclock it at 312.5 and hashing 1050GHS to 1200GHS but i am really pleased with the sound now!

Kind Regards,
BTC-Bank.

That temp is faaaaaaar to high, you're miners will die sooner or later with those temps, 60 is allready very hot....

Thank you for the tip @Furio!Other says it is ok and other that i will have problem on other threads too.
Anyway i know that this isn't the best temp, before i change it was 58-60 temp after 24 hours with the standard fan.I have order 2 more corsair af120 silent to add direct on the psu and put them under the miner, that it will help a lot!I know it is too much but i have the silence i want now.

Kind Regards,
BTC-Bank.

just drop the clocks to 275 you don't need more fans then 2.

Thank you for the tip @philipma1957!I have follow your advice and i have drop the clock to 275 temporary until i receive the fan i ordered.The temp is now 64 - 65 and mining at 950GH/S +/- for the first 10 minutes. Cool

Kind Regards,

Looking at the description of the Silverstone 141 there is no mention of it being PWM, only that it has a "PWM header" (ie. 4 pins). Looking at the fan wiring, I only see three wires -- again indicating not PWM.

So what convinces you that it's PWM?

I installed and used about 10 of them they run as pwm. you need to doctor the plug a little to make it fit. (shave a small piece of plastic and it fits on the s-5 4 pin header.

I have another thread about final fan mods. I will look for it.

An s-5 with a silverstone 141 pwm fan as the pull and a delta 1212 pwm fan as the push is pretty good for sound and cooling. I just gave up on the entire s-5 line due to pricing ups and down along with the need to do a fan mod or 2 to keep them quiet.

So, you're saying there actually are four wires going to the connector? Or are you saying the controlled speed of a PWM push fan has the effect of modulating the speed of the pull fan?

PS. A fan can't be PWM controlled without both a sense wire and a control wire. If less than four wires, no fan can be PWM.

this is a four pin pwm fan. it will scale up and down with your clocking of the s-5. used as a pull with a four pin delta the s-5 is a nice miner.

No the silverstone is 4 pin pwm it is the pull fan.

I will order this as the push

these two as push pull should work

Thanks for the answers, i will try it out then

And one more question about the fan, what if i do no care for the sound ( they are in e different place ).
With what fans could i replace the stock ones for better cooling ?

I have a fan mod thread.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=927941.0;all

links are in it. the deltas allow for fast clocks and lower sound then the stock. but this post spot interests me

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.10296057

he has an older dead fan gutted attached to the s-5 then the stock fan without a grill (watch your fingers) he has good sound results

Hey guys, i ordered some S5 miners and i got them finally.

I have the fallowing question.
Since i have a lot of PSU's left from my alt GPU mining rigs i will be using them. But since i had a good offer back in the day, all my PSU's are Corsair 1200w Platinum.

Yesterday i tested and at clock 375, one S5 is drawing about 565w of the wall.
So my question is, would it be okay to connect 2 S5's to the one Corsair 1200w Platinum PSU ?

Thanks !

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=902305.new#new

If I were you I would connect 2 at freq 343 run 6 hours .
IF ALL IS WELL
clock the two at 350 run 6 hours
IF ALL IS WELL
clock the two at 356 run 6 hours
IF ALL IS WELL
clock the two at 362 run 6 hours
IF ALL IS WELL
clock the two at 368 run 6 hours
IF ALL IS WELL
clock the two at 375 check every 6 hours.

That would load the AX1200i to 86% which makes it around 91% efficient and leaves you with a 14% headroom. That's really up to you if your comfy with that. However, you do have a Platinum PSU. I'd try it out and closely monitor it for a day or two and see if something is unusually heating up.

Edit: Sorry...I got dyslexic there for a bit. It's 84% load with 16% headroom and not 86% load with 14% headroom. Grin

The load will be closed to 93%, but yes it's will work since the psu is platinum.
You can underclock if it's fail Cheesy
