LOL..I only have one more thing to look forward to then. 

Lol. We're paying for those 2 last blocks now.

Dunno about you, but I'm not planning to invest in 1600 Antminer S5's at this particular moment. 

Yeah I'll probably do that. Not a fan of returning anything. Just now I have to deal with packing up, shipping off, paying for the shipping and then wait for weeks to get the money refunded by ebay if I get it. Ugh.

Bought a few SP20's from him/she/it and one of them is defective.

Tried to ask seller about issues with Miner, explaining in exact detail how I tested the issue to make sure it wasn't anything on my end (Power supplies, power cable, voltages, etc..)

They said it was all my fault and I burned the unit out during my 'underclocking' testing trying to see why it was hanging up after a few hours.
I never ran the unit even at standard speeds. Tried a few higher voltages, but never even went as high as stock speeds. Always at 1200GH/s underclocked.

I do the same on my other 7 SP20's , know the system pretty well already and yet none of the others have
the same issue where it needs to be hard-booted once a day at least as it just loses internet or hangs up totally.
Temps are 3C in the room, 33-44C across all loops, running through EVGA 1300 G2's.

So anyways, he also sold a bunch of 'semi defective' SP20s in other ebay listings , so I'm guessing he sent me one and now is
playing the blame game.

Just word of caution if dealing with this particular seller : mu5069evy

How does that work? Anyone got them?

 

During my testing I had a c1 in a seasonic 750w at full blast with everything hooked up drawing 801watts at the wall. No issues. I wouldn't recommend it for 24/7 running, but I ran it for a few hours. No overheating or warming of cables.
Most high end seasonics or evga can run 10%+ wall max. So my 750 as example hits 850w without skipping a beat.

Once I hooked a new sp20 which hit full blast to an evga 850 without realizing it. The miner drew 1020watts for a few minutes before I realized it. No problem running it though.
I also ran it briefly on a corsair cx750 without an issue.

Unless it's a seasonic or evga . At full speed mine use 800watts at the wall so any decent 750w will work. Problem is, most 750w supplies don't have 4 separate pci-e rails.

Where? I'd get some. Lol

Thank you

I was talking Ebay on line.

Where do you guys see them for under $200!?!?

Anyone notice the huge drop in their pricing over the past 3 days?

They went from averaging $600+ to around $450 now. I even saw some go for less than that.

Any clue as to why?

Anyone do overclocking / efficiency testing on the S5's?

C'mon -1.51-1.75..   

U da man...


*Meaning, I have no idea whatchabetalkinaboot*. 

Odd underclocking success here. Thought I'd post it :

200Mhz Freq, 071v, 840Gh/s average @ 600watts exactly. (GH jumps from 760 - 1120 though.)

Best ratio yet.

Yeah that's why I stopped. I want to keep each cable at below 200w even on the other miners unless I need to push it.
The only ones I trust to push enough is the evga 1300 G2's and the cables. Anyone know what gauge they are?

What about the pay/earnings? Has it changed? I stopped using it as it seems quite less than other pools like eligius and kano. Heck even westhash earned me more for the same TH.

I will be playing with my First s5 soon, but must add that as an owner of C1's and S3's, the SP20 from spondoolies run circles around the Antminers.
Better and fast web interface, more robust hardware from what I see at least, more efficient (I can get 1150-1230GH/s at around 600W on almost all SP20's and if I want to turn up the speed to an easy 1600GH/s per miner.
