Hiya Tupsu, I need the 16 pin type with the BBB - what's your asking price buddy? Be gentle......  I first have to ask . How much do you want for 2 blades? I have a half-filled S5 water cooling project and the winter comes.. |

Hi all, As the title says, I'm looking for a working S5 controller board, as one of mine just bit the dust. I'd prefer within the UK but will also ship in from EU depending on shipping & price. BTC waiting. Thanks  Full controller or only BBB ? If full controller , then 16 pin older version or new version with 18 pin cables? I can sell all three variants, but the price must be right. Shipping from estonia. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=858962.0Better sell me your S5 blades |

You any idea how to connect up this 'switch board'?
What remains unclear to you? S4 Power_Board V1.0  From left to right + - , + - , + - , + - |

I think, Itop bought they more expensively , than the current Bitmaintech S5+ price. I lost with my order only from friday to monday 81,6 USD They bought them a week earlier. I do not think there is a lot of profit in the  price. |

If you Placed order for S5+ at USD2341, and now you need to cancel the order again it is USD2307 now I payd today order, made on Friday. 2375 USD for miner + shipping I pay 20% of VAT. So my loss total for 3 day is 81.60 USD |

I just received my APW3-12-1600 PSU that I want to connect to my S4 that has the M4 ring connectors. Even though I mentioned this when purchasing as suggested by support the PSU arrived with PCI connectors. However I did come with a power adaptor board. Can you send me instructions as to how to connect the original cables to this board. Also the APW3-12-1600 PSU has 12 PCI connectors and the board has only 8 connectors. Which ones do I use - some included instructions would be helpful or put it in the manual Just sent this message to support. The saga goes on 
They are all the same.
Eight of them you are connecting to power adaptor board.
One to connect to the controller .
Three plugs are free. |

Wow Tupsu, your hardware error rate is really high, especially considering the temp and clock - are you using the stock cables between the controller and the blades? I know with the water cooling kit you have to extend those, and my first thought would be that something is wrong on that end - but if it was exhibiting that behavior before, then it could very well be the blade.
If you have a couple S5's, then try swapping the BB/controller, and see if that makes a difference - on one of my S5's, it was getting really high error rates, and when I swapped BB's, the error rates followed it. Ended up just getting a replacement BB from Bitmain and it's been working fine. Basically I've found the best way to troubleshoot this stuff is just to swap the parts around - just make sure not to get them mixed up and confused. Since everything is pretty interchangeable, it usually doesn't take too long.
I have changed the cables and controllers. (16 pin controllers) Error rate coming together with blade. The second blade error rate is only 954 time 1d 4h 27m 7s at freg 381.25 hashing speed average 626.40Gh/s So totally with 2 controllers is it at normal S5 speed 540.14 +626.40=1166 GH/s |

not sure if your missing the point or just trolling i ordered OLD s5's before the new S5+ was released and i would like to change my order...... i think it pretty reasonable since they haven't shipped my order and it would be very easy to do
I want to buy today, and tomorrow I want buy something else for the same money. Things just do not work that way, At next time, buy for US dollars, and you have three days to pay. |

I have more pools. What would U like to know ? Main is antpool.com, second F2pool.com which is dead and 3rd uk1.ghash.io.
I switched the controlers, so settings are going with controller and mistake stays.
I excluded: PSU, controller board, settings.
So both hashing boards??. Freguency was set to 400M.
Which cables do u mean ?
1. Put frequency at 350 2. Check that the fan is Fan1, not Fan2 |

i placed an order for 6 x antminer s5's 1 day before the s5+ was released and paid in full, now the bitmaintech support wont let me transfer my funds to a new order and pay the remaining difference to receive the s5+....not very pleased.
S5+ is today 2341 USD Friday, it was the price 2375 USD Should I now cancel the order of Friday and today to make a new order  |

I do not believe in conspiracy theories. But I do not believe, that some of their 3 different PacMic still mine with antminer S5, as they say.
I just do not believe it.
They specify they use the specs of an "ideal S5", not an actual S5. No. THey write: Contract Suspension If after 120 days, a PACMiC has still not recovered the initial capital for its user, and is not mining enough revenue to pay for its own electricity cost (fixed at 0.098 USD per kWh, calculated using an ideal AntMiner S5 hashing at 100% uptime per PPS payout), whether because of difficulty increase or BTC price decrease, the PACMiC will continue paying out for ten days as though it were running, even if the machine is turned off. If these conditions persist for ten continuous days, the contract will be considered temporarily suspended. During the suspension period, mining revenues and profit payments will also be temporarily stopped. If after the suspension period, difficulty has dropped or bitcoin price has risen, making mining possible again, the contract will be reinstated and pick up where it left off. Q:Is the PACMiC really risk-free? A: Like all forms of bitcoin mining, there is a certain level of risk involved. If network difficulty unforeseeably skyrockets, or if the price of bitcoin drops too much, the Antminer S5 units backing the PACMiC may not be profitable to run and be forced to go offline, in which case contracts would be suspended (possibly indefinitely) and the user may not recover the initial cost of the miner. However, the AntMiner S5 is currently the most power efficient bitcoin miner available on the market, and would be among the last to be forced to power down under unfavorable market circumstances. It is our comprehensive evaluation that the likelihood of PACMiC holders not recovering their initial cost is indeed quite low. We ask that all users please understand the risks inherent to any sort of bitcoin mining, and also to understand that there is no such thing as a risk-free product. |

Guys, how much you pay duty tax for this S5+?
20% VAT |

I recommend you to use a Gigabit switch.This will solve your problem.However, if you like in Eastern Europe your internet connection may be lower then your theorotical speed.If you connect 10 machines (even switch has 12 or 24 ports) one of your miners may be off.
If your miner loses internet connection it may reach high temperature due to fan is not in charge.You may loose one or both boards.
If a board is broken or not hashing you can PM me and I can describe how to check the board.
If you're so good, you will definitely know, what is wrong with this S5 blade. Miner is water-cooled, It is only this blade connected to the controller board. Other blade is mining at the same time with different controller at normal speed. Each controller has its own fan, and a 4 pin power cord. The same behavior was also than miner was air-cooled.  |

You guys have to understand this unit is designed with Density in mind. So for all the guys who have rack space to fill you can fit these S5+ Units nicely in a 4U Rack space compared to S5 units, obviously the small efficiency bump was due to under clocking and better cooling. In light of bitmain offering PacMic V3 and the S5+ unit at the same time this is an indication that the chip is end of life and the PacMic is to fund there tap out of there new chip for an S7 coming sometime in the next few months. Obviously the sale of all there second hand S5's is a clear sign they are cleaning out there farm to upgrade to the newer miners. Most other companies KnC, Spondoolies aren't offering any new miners to public I still think bitmain is a good company even though there focus is shifting to making gear for themselves with a side market of selling to enthusiasts around the world but make no mistake there top priority is having the most efficient gear for themselves first
I do not believe in conspiracy theories. But I do not believe, that some of their 3 different PacMic still mine with antminer S5, as they say.
I just do not believe it. |

dunno man... i think 2 undercloked sp3x are better  i mean, psu in miner and less noise... now it depends on the price of sp3x, underclock, price of electricity, etc.... I would generally agree with you, if Spondoolies Tech sell spare parts for the normal price. But they will not do it. My preference is currently Bitmaintech. All these miners are easier to repair. |

The time and the right decisions. That is all that counts in the world of BTC. (I've done a lot of wrong decisions before, hopefully purchase 3x S5+ is not one of them) I have today exactly 100TH/s x S5 in Hashnest. I can always sell it and buy some S7 (If S7 comes to Hashnest for sale) I leave only all my water cooled S5. Winter is not far away. I do not believe that is a simple way to make water-cooled S5+ and get it ready before winter. ..........
Last but not least, if you fry a controller, like they do once a while, you have a complete dead S5+ while you only miss 1.1-1.3TH on a S5
.......
I have left three of S5 controllers from water cooled S5 miners with 4 blades. I am sure that they will also work in S5 + Miner if the power given to them properly. |

okay lets do it this way. I have 3 psu's on hand to run it. this is 2473 shipped to my home.
6 s-5's are 2267 shipped to my home
let's go the other way . For my 3 x S5+ I have 6 x EVGA G2 1300W+some extra 2 x PCI-E EVGA cables and
3X Bitmaintech APW3-12-1600-B2 PSU .
Plenty of PCI-E plugs for powering 3 x S5+
6 s-5's with a little over clock do 1250 each = 7500gh at .5 = 3750 watts 6 controllers so you can disable 3 of them and run 30 watts less so you have 3720 watts
I do not think that you're going to make longer cables. So that 30W saving never has happened.
But 6 x overclocked S5 is 7500 GH/s x 0.51=3851W , not 3720W.
1 s-5+ with a little under clock will do 7500gh at .445 = 3337.5 watts so you get equal hash and 400 watts difference in power.
that is about 30 dollars a month in power in favor of the s-5++
Why under clock ? At normal speed 7722 GH/s x 0.445W/GH =3436W
3851 - 3436 =415 W savings + extra 222GH/s
price is the same for psu's
price is 196 more for s-5++ and at 1 dollar a day power savings the price is = after 196 days.
so until the 196th day the s-5's ae cheaper. and even at day 196 since you double up on the s-5 controllers you have 3 spare controllers.
My expenses with 3 x Bitmaintech PSU were 600 USD
EVGA PSU-s is itself already recouped , almost with video cards mining time.
Or let the s-5's each use 1 controller power cost is 32 a month. so in 180 days you are equal cost.
I do not think that you're going to make longer cables. However, if you do, you need time for it . time =moneyThe risk of the s-5+ is the controller dies you are dead in the water.
The 6 s-5's allow up to 3 controller deaths and you can just double up the gear.
I have left three of S5 controllers.
I am sure that they will also work in S5 + Miner if the power given to them properly.Now, the most important thing. I've already sold 20 x Antminer S5 for 33BTC
20 x 1155=23100GH/s 3X7722=23166Gh/s
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=858962.msg11959170#msg11959170
Therefore, I will use the same money (33BTC) again for bying 3 x S5+
Saving extra 1,4kW/h per hour,
per month 1000 kW/h save me with six months the price of three APW3-12-1600-B2 power supplyMost guys buying an s-5+ are really big and getting a bulk deal.
And no, I did not get a discount for 3 x S5 and I do not care.
Obviously, I can not even get coupons , because the last S5 I bought a long time ago. |

It's not about home miner problem ... The real fact here's that very soon in upcoming January the blockchain is gonna turn half and so 7.7 Th would be almost equal to 3.3 Th means it would requires the double of the current hash power while more increase in difficulty but also expecting the rate to get high as well.
Upcoming januari- it is a chronology of the Mayan ? http://bitcoinclock.com/Reward-Drop ETA: 2016-07-27 16:38:45 UTC (49 weeks, 4 days, 23 hours, 50 minutes) |
