Post by: ImpOfThePerverse on July 09, 2017, 01:21:44 PM
Hello
i have 4 antminers s5  with  858watt psu 80% power efficiency and the problem is that after a couple of hours working properly the miners shuts down and i have to close the psu wait 10-15 minutes in order to shut them on
any ideas what might be the problem?

Check Ventilation, Cooling, the Antminer is probably overheating and to prevent more damage to the system.

Most certainly it's a PSU problem, try swapping with a diff one.

It looks like a damaged PSU. I recommend a good CM(Cooler Master)V1000 up to 1000 watt and I am sure you will not have any more problems if the temps are like you are saying.

However I am curious, where do you live because S5 is profitable only with free electricity ?

Since you have 4 antminers, I presume you have more than 1 PSU?

Give another PSU a shot, if it's just cutting out and you're not able to power it back on, I'd say PSU is at fault.

Worth a try?
