It would seem to me you could lash together two S7's with a single controller if you were to lay the miners on their sides, so that the "Top Side" were facing each other. Kind of awkward to wire up, but it shouldn't take any "long cables" to accomplish.

It would be interesting to know if the S7 cooling actually requires that the blades be vertical to work OK. While it's obvious what the "expected" orientation is, does it still behave well if it's laid on it's side?

point them upwards top to top that allows for vertical and hot air raises.

stack them on a box fan which allows for more air to help fans. also if fans fail the box fan may save the day.

Hi, if you have 3 S7, you don't need longer cables, try only to flip the 2 outside s7. The miners could seen like this:

F=S7 Front
R=S7 Rear

FRF
RFR

Then, you will not need to have longer cables, but you will need to switch the front fan to the rear fan ONLY ON THE CENTRAL S7 and ready to run!

You will still need longer cables.

The picture of the controller board for the S7 says on the silk screen S5+ so it "seems" that they are identical. Also it has been reported that S5 & S5+ controllers and firmware seem to be completely interchangeable. As to cables someone must know the part number of the plugs?

So a good chance they are the same, but we need someone to take delivery to confirm?

I have a day one order on the s-7 so with luck 10 to 15 days time I will have it.

they say first shipping = 21st of sept which means I get it on the 24th

sometimes they are faster so maybe I get it between the 19-23 of sept.

Or Oct 12 -14

"Shipping may start between Sept. 21 ~ 30 (if shipped out 10 days later than it, it won't be considered as delay )."

It's pretty obvious that Bitmain will eventually release an "S7+" - already did most of the engineering for it between the S7 and the S5+.

Has anyone actually tried running an S5 hash board on an S7 controller yet, or a S7 hashboard on an S5/S5+ controller?

How would it be possible ? S7 is not yet shipped.

S5+ blade works with S5 controller.

I have 50 of the 18 pins cables custom made in stock, and also some 16 pins ones for early S5s.
12" long, they were like 1$ each. if I remember correctly.

There are/were for the S5 watercooled case, and some other projects, but it seems that they can serve other purposes.

Edit on availability and pictures

I would also like to buy some of your 18 pin cables if you would be so kind to send it to the Netherlands?
I'm not in a hurry ,as you still have to order them. 10 cables would be nice.
Hope to hear from you.

all my 18 pins cables are sold. Cry

some 16 pins ones left.

I didn't expect so much interest.
I'll take 200 more with my next order from this supplier, approximately 3 weeks delay.

Do I send my payment to the custom btc address in your signature?

I used my coinbase account and sent a bit extra from the pm price you gave.

Awesome!

Anyone got an idea for a case for housing 6x S7 blades? Could you cool these chips with the original heatsinks with less static pressure (noise) from fans?

6 "silent" blades = 2420 W = 67% load of a 16A fuse @ 230V, would be nice for the home-miner! At least in Europe (afaik).

Even in the us is is not that bad. I owe Phil for his help on it. But I love my 240 after getting it in. I for one doubt I run another 120 line for mining after.

Having 30 amps and a pdu separating it is just amazing for the new miners. It will not work for all but I really think at least bitmain is going to keep releasing bigger miners compared to the past.

Innteristing stuff guys,

Do you think it would be a problem to place it on it's side? Then you don't need longer cables.
I only ordered one S7 at the moment. (not that rich) Wink

But when i do order my second will try that.
Then a nice box around it, a little overclock and you have a nice 10 TH home miner. Grin

I have been thinking on that myself. The main thing is the cables. It is a pain to get them.
Just like the S5 where it would accept 3 and also 4 with a different firmware. The main stumbling block was the cables.
Having to custom make them is tedious.
I do have a couple cases I am going to try this on though for multiples in one chassis.
