Im trying to disable the beeper ringing option buy it keeps setting back to on. Anyone know the solution to this? I have the miners in an office and can't have these things going off like crazy if the internet goes down.
Im thinking about just ripping the beeper of the mobo...

Im getting a steady 5% reject rate on both my S5's. They are both running with etxtranouncce sub. Other pools these are running with near 0% reject. Ive tried forcing a 1k diff setting but nicehash still keeps changing it to 4k after a few min.
The high diff might be one issue contributing to the high reject rate (other pools with low reject accept a 1k diff for S5s).
Any suggestions?
Where are you from and where do you mine? NH or WH? US east coast and mine on westhash using sha256.usa.nicehash.com:3334 |

this is REALLY awesome work, and good for you for supplying these designs. I will print them out and test it on my S5 tomorrow. How did you attached the legs to the fan and fan to miner? I dont see a screw going in between them.

Has anyone used NiceHashe's custom firmware for the S5s? I know it runs a newer version of cgminer that the latest Bitmain one. Wonder if there are any advantages/GUI updates with the nicehash one.
Also what they typical HW error rate or these? Im getting .1% on one and .003% on the other. Even though they are both really low one still produces almost a 1000x extra hardware errors.
I run the Nicehash FW with Westhash for both my S3 and S5 and the result is clearly superior -- I presume it's due to extranonce support! Whats your reject rate? Im constantly getting around 5% for both my S5s, and im running the Bitmain 4.8 CGminer version that has extranonce support. (just at NiceHash BTW rejects on other pools is < 1%). |

Enough about silly contests more about chips and hardware!

Have Bitmain any plans on lowering S5 (and maybe shipping?) price?  I'm not really surprised they've held firm at the $340 price for so long - They are the only game in town at present, and can charge whatever they want for their products. I not a fan of such arrogant behaviour. As a result, for the last few months, I've been taking advantage of the low BTC/USD pricing, and every time I think about buying another miner, I just buy 1BTC instead on Coinbase and think to myself "Now wasn't that easier and more cost-effective ?" Given the current price of ~$235 USD/BTC, it doesn't make any financial sense purchasing miners at their current pricing. An S5 priced at $340 is presently looking @ ~1year of runtime for ROI, excluding electrical and power supply costs. It doesn't make any sense at all to buy Bitmain products, presently - A ROI will be difficult and uncertain. +1. the prices are a bit high, yet understandable. 1) theres minimal competition 2) theres a strong market within china (where the shipping cost is <40% of sending overseas) 3) The units could be profitable for those with <7c/kwh power (especially if located in china and saving a large chunk of the shipping cost) to be entirely honest, its all a gamble. If BTCUSD rises, mining returns will increase and hashrate will follow. However, theres a good chance that if BTC were to rise 4x in price in the next 12 months, difficulty would likely struggle to keep up since theres limited new production at the moment. If BTC went 4x any miner produced in the past 2-3 years would be turned back on again, I would imagine the hash rate easy doubling. |

Where did I read that someone had a firmware hack that changed the stock fan speed profile?

Why are you reposting someones random request from another forum? Zeus is a long dead company, they screwed everyone over with their scrypt machines then did the same with their cloud mining contracts. |

Probably what they'll end up doing is getting chips integrated into internet-connected stationary household devices without telling the consumers - or at best, put it in the fine print that nobody reads anyway. Maybe add only a few watts to power dissipation, something most folks would never notice. Keep it passively cooled. So someone buys a new Tivo and gives away 25GH to 21e6. The smart fridge has one, and the TV and DVR both have one (in every room), and the XBox has one, and pretty soon your house is secretly giving 200GH to 21e6. Sure they only make a couple bucks from your house, and you won't really fight it because it increases your electric bill by about $3 a month, but when ten thousand people are all doing that, 21e6 now has a 2PH farm at their disposal with zero maintenance cost. Keeping 75% of the earnings you know about isn't near as profitable as keeping 100% of the earnings you don't.
Sure this sounds like a conspiracy theory, and it very much is. But I don't trust investor-driven profit-driven big businesses (with who knows how many hundreds of millions of dollars already driven in with the expectation of boundless returns) to not screw people over as much as legally possible, and then get laws changed when they run out of loophole room. And trusting that most people who like to jump on fads don't take the time to consider the actual cost.
It really is a genius idea, problem is who would actually integrate these chips into their products? Whats the benefit of a fridge maker to add this chip? "Hey buy our fridge it has a bitcoin miner integrated that will save you $1 a month off your electric bill" ....I think not lol. Now if 21e6 does some deal where half the bitcoin profits go to the company thats a different story....now fridge company has a "free" 1PH farm and 21e6 does also. Either way I doubt this would fly with consumers...if people find out companies are making a profit off their electricity there would be an uproar, even at 3 bucks a month. |

well this miner is clearly directed at bitcoin, so I doubt that would be the case this time around. Plus the scrypt side of it does around 60MH at under 200 watts so I don't see a reason why anyone would buy this and only run one side of it. Lets hope the software solution they have for this make it seamless.

I have a few of their 30MH ones if your interested
Those are the X3's, right? Yep |

Been trying to scour this thread for some info on reducing noise levels for this thing. Whats the best fan to use to get quiet operation?
I have two Coolmaster 50 CFM fans these things are quiet and will putting two of them at each end be enough to cool and S5? (I can under clock as well since noise > hash rate.

Looking at either of these miners, can buy two of them. US only.
