My miners have given me a nice stream of income so far, but with the difficulty rising, it's not just worth the heat it's outputting in my apartment. Looking to unload both of my miners, with all of the goodies I've bought for them over time.

You get the following:

1 Antminer S5 (One board isn't functional - it hashes at ~535 GH/S).
1 Antminer S5 (Works like a charm. Hashes at  1.18 GH/S)

2x Corsair CX750M power supplies.

4x Blue LED Fans (I don't recall the brand name, but they are super quiet, which is why I replaced them from the loud stock ones when I bought the miners).


Asking price for the total package: $200, OBO. Shipping to US/Canada only, please.

Pictures as follows (excuse the cord gore):

You are lucky they are still running at all with those temps...

Yep. I am. These temps were taken when I ran them without the air conditioning on in the room I keep them in (which is how I kept them cool this entire time).

I thought they shut down at 80C.  I guess that option wasn't checked.

The fully functional one is running at 102 and 85 as I type this and is hashing just fine.

Normally they run at at around 82ish with the air on.

I have just burner 1 board of my own, if you don't manage to sell them PM me with a price for just the board (no heatsink psu etc.) shipped to France zip 56000

Cheers

Dude, nobody will buy these from you now after you showed them those temps.

The fans you used were too low of a CFM, you should of just swapped S3 fans on them. Or got the expensive Noctua fans, and you would get temps around 50C.

Those looks like silent/quiet regular case fans which spin at like 1200rpm.

I would power off those right now immediately before you burn your place down.

99% sure you're blowing this way out of proportion. They hash fine, they have absolutely no fire hazard associated with them whatsoever, and I could show you much lower temps if I were to bother turning them on in a room that doesn't have the heat turned up.

Again, this was a demonstration (They have been off for a month or so now) to prove that they hash.

The temperature sensor is not the ASIC chips, if the temp sensor is at 100C then your ASIC chips can be around 150C and most of your other components like capacitors and resistors, its strains all compontents and they will fail prematurely.

I really don't understand why you would run them at 100C and assume its perfectly ok.

I don't/haven't ran them at 100C continuously. Again, this was a brief test to prove they hash and at what speeds.

I just moved the units to ensure clear air flow and have the air conditioner on. In 40 minutes or so I'll take another temperature reading (along with hash rate).

The problem is you shown me you'd even let this go for even 1 sec. You say these hash fine, they dont really, you have HW at stock Freq and your hashrate is very low. This shows you've not taken care properly of the unit or are using a bad PSU.

My PSUs are fine. If you aren't interested, please stay out of my thread. Thank you.

Temps are running at 81/73  and 74/68 after cooling down the room.

Fans don't do much good when the apartment itself is hot. :)

I think you did not understand me. EITHER you have bad PSU or you ran the S5 too hot and they lost a significant portion of their hashrate.
Since you supposedly have fine PSU, it mean that your 10% hashrate lost is due to the improper way you've been running the S5s.

Good, i guess i can stay, then. I'm interested in cheap S5's. I think they're still a bit too high however, considering their clear damaged states. (10% hashrate loss at stock setting + HW)

If you care, Allinvain is selling fully functional and unabused S5's for probably 100$ea now (His asking price is 120$) or maybe even cheaper in bulk. His thread is just next to your's.

My suggestion to you is put the stock fans back on and take a screen cap again, hopefully the hardware error rates will go down a bit and hopefully these would look like something worth buying. If the HW error rate magically drops down to 0.0099% or better I might be interested in one s5 and both of your psu's

The temps and HW error rate you posted have scared off just about any sane person.

Only one is damaged. A board isn't working on it, and it hashes at half what it's supposed to. The other one works fine.

You've made a good point about the price, however. I'll let the entire package go for $200 even. $100 for the fully working miner, $50 for the half-hasher, $25 per PSU (You won't find a better price for those PSUs) and the fans I'll toss in just because.

I THINK I have the stock fans (which are loud as all hell) laying around here somewhere. I'll toss them in as well, but no promises.

Can you retake a pic of the "fully working" one? Because 1030GH/s at stock freq is under performing by 125GH/s. That's why i said "damaged". It should be at 1155GH/s.

200$ for everything shipped to Canada?

Current caps (as of 7:07 PM EST) of both. As I said, running them with the 4x fans in air conditioning lowers the temp dramatically. The stock fans were great at keeping them cool, but they also kept me awake at night (I originally had these in a smaller apartment).

*Edit* Canada sounds fine. Can you ballpark a shipping cost for me?

Are you in the USA or Canada?

USA.

Too bad you're not in Canada. All that heavy stuff will probably be like $75-100 to ship up here.

Hi mate,
are you still selling?
