Hmm, I wonder if the 660W is due to the 110V or a lower quality PSU? Here in Aus (240V), my S5 is doing a little over 1.1THs on my pool ( https://www.kano.is/ ) but at the wall it's only 600W (default settings) but I'm using a Seasonic 1200W Platinum Its got to be the PSU as I am running mine at Freq 375 getting 1.23+GH and reading 635W at the wall with a RM1000 Corsair 115V. Also the packing material changed on my batch 2 from foam packing to bubble wrap. After 28 hours one board dropped and started showing x's, after a reboot that didn't help I reset the freq back to default of 350 and its seems to be doing fine now. Getting 1155GH with temps at 48/47 fan 3480 and reading 592 watts at the wall. Not sure why that board dropped off at the 375 setting as the temps seemed fine at 50/49? I've noticed similar behavior in my units (except they fall to 50% hashrate after about 2 days). I suggested that Bitmain add an auto-restart if hashrate falls below x setting to the firmware, but I'm sure we'll see lots of stability improvements with the next firmware update. I just flashed mine with the new firmware to see if that helps. I also set my freq back up to 375 but what I did notice at the default and higher freq, my miner has loss some hash compared to the original firmware. At the 375 it was getting 1235 GH before and now only 1210 GH but the temp is down a point or 2 also. |

Well they arrived today! Now we've got some work to do.
>snip images<
24 is NOT a typical bitcoin number (21, 42, etc is)  It is for the S5 and a EVGA 1300 G2 though.. Yes, hearing protection is advised. Im planning on running 2 per 1300 EVGA using the wiring diagram Philip posted in his review thread. Will there be any issues running 2 per 1300? I also have a handful of 1000w and 850w PSUs Do you think the Corsair 1200xi Platinum could power two of these? Expensive PSU, but I have 6 of them. Strato You might be better off running 3 S5's off 2 of those 1200w PSU's so not to over max them and gives you a chance to set the freq higher than the default. |

Usual white Box??? I got mine in totally different packing, some sue true hard plastic, but not the usual white box, strange...
I think he means the white foam. And yes mine came also in hard bubblewrap. |

I have to say, the reports on the noise of these things is not exaggerated. I had one set up in my basement last night for testing, and I had to go shut it off to go to sleep. I've at various times had an SP20 down there, a dozen S1s at a single time, a couple Habaneros with 250CFM Delta fans, and a half dozen 5970s running at 100% fan along with other GPUs back when that was a thing. Never had to turn something off at night before.
I'm really going to try to remember to bring a measurement mic home and get the spectrum of the noise, it seems extremely high pitched at full speeds compared to a lot of other fans.
Have you done any undervolting yet? Not yet. I only looked at it briefly and it didn't seem to want to start up. Could have been a network issue though. Oh, along with that I'd concur that the fan profile is stupid on these things. The one I have in my mining location has ASIC temps of 42C, and the fan is still spinning at 3360RPM. A lot of headaches would probably be avoided with better fan control. Or maybe the 9V undervolt does not work? Figure there is a reason Bitmain has crossed it out on page 1. |

Phil I just seen where Bitmain crossed out the 9V feature on the S% sells thread? I guess this is no longer something for us to look at in the future?
Notes
1. Power consumption figures vary with your PSU’s efficiency, the ambient operating temperature and the accuracy of the power meter.
2. PSU: A power supply unit is not included, and you will need to provide an ATX PSU. There are 4 PCI-e connectors for +12V DC input and all four are required. Do not connect more than one PSU to the same hashing board.
3. When better power efficiency is needed in the future due to higher network difficulties, you may want to buy some special PSUs 9V DC with more than 10A output, which will allow you to have a 0.2J/GH mining efficiency, but at lower hashing speed.

What is the process for transferring coupons? Is that donate button supposed to do something? I mean I would assume so but mine doesn't.
dogie- Please reply to this. Donate button not work mine as well. Why is the price on the first page here
Today, Bitmain is proud to announce its 3rd generation chip in conjunction with its 9th product: the Antminer S5. It is 450 USD 341 USD per unit (excluding shipping) and will ship starting on December 27th January 12th.
Bitmaintech website is the S5 price Price: 358 USD [15% Discount Off] ANTMINER S5 BATCH 4
Yesterday, the price was still 341 USD Want to order another one but waiting to see which is the right price? |

i can get second hand panels 240w at 120 usd . this was just a example for a alternative to psu . in my opinion a far better alternative.
and you need 4 so 480 usd at least 4 batterys and a controller so 600 usd I say you will need more than 4 panels...4 will only run the S5 miner during sunshine...if you want to charge batteries you will need more to do that for night time mining. |

Fair enough...but it is a little more involved than what most people think. I can barely keep the miners hidden from the wife now...not sure how I would ever hid all those solar panels!  |

I am working on an undervolting solution. some info here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=872014.msg10069844#msg10069844the hope is it will be ready for testing in 3 weeks. I would get a unit to review and run an s-5 from the builder. The builder is a forum member and well respected. it would allow you to plug in an atx psu like the evga 1300 g2 and dial it down from 12 volts to a 11 to 7 volt range. with only a 5% loss of efficency. if it works maybe 800gh at 240 watts for an s-5 maybe 800 gh at 300 watts for an s-5. right now the s-5 does 800 gh at 400 watts. Sounds interesting Phil. So far I am happy with my S5 but know the time will come to do some undervolting. |

So when you said "solar setup" and "solar grid" you were talking about some form of local electrical generation using sunlight but not photoelectrics? So what, solar heat into a thermocouple array? Or solar into a steam turbine? In any case, to run a 12V battery off any electrical source (solar or otherwise) will still require some regulation. And since most "12V battery" to be tied into a "solar grid" are probably lead-acid, the charge voltage is more like 13.8V which is a 15% overvolt for this miner. Since its ASIC power lines are unregulated, that means a direct 15% overvolt at the chips which could mean a 30% increase in power dissipation at the chips (assuming I proportional to V) and the whole thing catches on fire.
you must be trolling or simply cant understand what a solar setup is so let me spell it out as simple as posible for you . Everything you need to fully charge a battery is a solar setup . that includes the bloody charger. Let me know how long that battery last after the sun goes down... with a big enough battery grid i can make a s3 last weeks . but usualy 2 x 6 V batteries make a s3 run for 24h just fine . a decent 1 KW ( enough for 2 x s3 ) or higher psu is at least 300 usd . thats half of my solar setup cost for a s3. add 300 more and there you go . no more power issues for my s3 forever. Wow first I thought this thread had to do with a PSU for a S5 not a S3 ?? But I am not sure how large those 6V batteries are but highly do not think they will let you pull even 370watts let alone the 600+ watts needed for a S5 for very long? have you ever left your headlamps on your car and see how fast the battery wear down? Those head lamps are maybe 50-60 watts each. So what is your cost for solar and batteries to run one S5 at 600watts. The cheapest panels I see from china are about $160 at 45watts output? |

Why are you guys encouraging Chinese centralization of mining power?
I just was paid and I no longer am mining here. I am mining at mmpool.org ----------------------------good nicehash.com----------------------------good westhash.com---------------------------good bitcoinaffiliatenetwork------------------new for me not sure I won't mine at f2pool due to my coins being locked for more then 80 hours. I thought I only needed to wait 24 hours. Phil I use DFish as a back up pool and they have always paid me. I use Bitcoinaffiliatenetwork as they pay more because of no fee and merge mining of NMC but sometimes the payment is late coming but have always been paid. |

I am running my S5 on a Corsair RM1000 115v and here is what I am getting:
Freq 375
watts at the wall 635
temps 49/50
fan 3600
1230+GH
When I get time I will switch it over to a RM850 and check the watts to see if it changes
|

|

just for a moment lets think outside the box :
you dont need a power supply if you have a solar grid with a 12 volt battery.
you connect the solar setup directly to the miner with no PSU needed.
just saying ... buy solar no more psu's and goverment electricity.
Let me know how long that battery last after the sun goes down... |

How do withdrawals work? If it is on a USD poker network, I assume you deposit bitcoin and are credited in USD. Can you then withdraw your winnings/balance in bitcoin?
I deposited BTC and withdrew BTC right back to my BTC wallet |
