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 !

219 and 189 with discount! Not bad but still higher.  Tongue

Canada does that at times.

'The right to privacy matters'
I did a separate thread for my fan mod
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/final-fan-mod-to-my-s-5s-927941

Mr Teal inspired me to use the  atx psu's with a 4 pin molex cable.  I used the evga 1300 g2  ATX-psu which comes with

1)a trick stating plug.
2) a molex 4 pin cable
3) a floppy disk adapter

the psu is on sale at new egg for  169
a rebate for 30 drops it to 139

Stock S5 is 74 db, its a lot! You need to change the fan to drop the sound.

Delta seems to be the best one!  Wink

Holy cow, one fan makes that much noise. I was a little interested in picking one of these up, but a constant noise that high is a problem. Technology will take care of the electrical problem (how much they hog up), but what's going to take care of cooling these things silently. Whoever makes something like that will have a winner!



the solution or solutions were posted on multiple threads, if you want to spend money on one or two extra fans (anywhere between $20 to $40). I went with Noctua 3000(push)/Scythe ultra kaze (pull)-good for at least 1100GH at ~58-59C and ONLY ~46dB;powering Scythe through molex directly off the PSU-piece of cake because it comes with an adapter; Noctua connector fits into the same slot as the stock (you have to clip one rail off the connector because it gets in the way). Phil likes two deltas because he found a good deal (two for $20 now, but you have to use an external additional power supply with voltage regulation or it will be louder than I like PLUS these have an unconventional connector).

I am going to show a different way to power it. using a four pin molex I should be able to do 7 volts and directly connect to the psu on the  4 pin molex connection.

this should allow for freq 350 and sound at 56db 

 compared to stock fan freq  350 and sound over 70db

  i  will post a few photos  later today

New mod photos.  First off I use a evga 1300 g2 I plugged in a molex connector to the psu.  I made an adapter that provides a constant 7 volts.  I then spliced the adapter to the pair of delta fans.  very good sound results and very good hash results.     about 52db and about 1100gh at freq 331.

I was wondering will it be possible to modifie one file to modify the fans setup.

I mean, the fan go full power at 50. Could we change it to 60??

That will gave us less noise for better result.
You can try that :

(I didn't test it)

To use it see my post here it is the same manipulation for the S5 :

I just bought this with 2 delta.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HG9AB1G/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Will see the result soon!  Wink

it says it can do 30 watts the deltas use around 15 watts at top speed.  So as long as you run the fans a bit slower it should handle 2  deltas.

Oh my bad. Didnt even take a look at the watt  Shocked

Thanks philipma1957

Just use 2 fans and back off a bit on the power should run 24/7/365

If you try doing 4 fans it will melt.

What is the hash rate, and is noise really so loud?


stock settings = 1150gh at freq 350 and sound is 72-74db.  plus it is nasty pitch with the stock fan.


"nasty pitch", it's closer to a cat being tortured. Worst than those high speed 40mm fans in network switches. I sold my first two (and only) within 24 hours of receiving them. Modding them simply isn't worth the cost.

the 2 deltas cost 8 bucks each.  but I had a power supply to give them perfect volts
