If you want quiet look at Avalon 4.1 for example it comes quiet, no mods needed. I wish you would have asked on the S5 before buying, and also before selling.
The S5 run's hot and loud. That is just how it was made. There are some who modded it. I think most likely is you modding with much quieter fan's can do push/pull even. But you sold it... so would be a shame to buy another S5.
There are rumors of a new S7 that no one knows much about... so if you wait it is possible it's smaller but no one knows for sure. But chances are it will still be loud, even changing fan's out voids warranty though.
Great information! Can you tell me a little more about the Avalon 4.1? How much is it? Looks pretty cool! https://ehash.com/product/avalon4-module-1t/Its very hard to get, i had a buying thread opened for months saying i'm interested in buying one and i never had anyone PM me about it, ever. Its more expensive than the S5, its a rare unit, not many were built and the price did not really drop. In term of value i'd put it around 1BTC shipped in term of ROI, a bit more expensive than a S5 but its actual sale value is definitively higher, probably close to 400USD or 1.5BTC~ Yuck! I would like to get back into the game any ideas? Maybe $200ish to spend? What is your electricity cost/rate in per/kWh? If its over 0.08~0.1$/kWh i'd say just forget it, grab a small USB miner for fun and thats pretty much it. Maybe something a little bit bigger to run as a lottery miner. Currently 0.08 - 0.10 |

But wouldn't it over heat?
Not really, for instance 2 S1 fan which is about 2500~2800rpm is about the same cooling capacity as a single stock fan and its 20 less dB. You can do even better, add an enclosure, add a transversal box fan to blow air through the fins. Well I cashed out.. I broke even. What would you recommend for the setup.. It was VERY loud in my house. |

Hi Everyone,
I love the idea of running my S5 at home but HOLY crap! This is a loud unit and it runs hot! I was able to make the unit Wi-Fi and I can but it anywhere but simply the unit is just too loud for in house use. I can't but it in the garage because that has no air flow.. I am thinking of selling everything for $371 any ideas? I would love to keep it but I have no idea..
If you sell on forum that would be twords the high side if in US. That is closer to a ebay price before fees taken out and shipping. Your other option is to mod the fan. Or even add 1 more and do push/pull with 2 quieter fans. But it is a hot unit, you can underclock it to help. But if ran at standard spec it just is a loud hot machine. Thanks for the quick reply! I am thinking $371 free shipping.. Regarding the mod I am not sure if I want to put any more money into this and I don't know what to do with the heat. |

I just got my S5 up and running.. I need to move the unit into the garage.. How can I add a Wi-Fi card to the S5 or can I use a Apple Express box?
If using Wi-Fi would it decrees the performance? How would I set something up like this?

I am on the NiceHash dashboard and the "total unpaid balance" does not match the "Unpaid balance" I have not been paid and just started with 0.00050009 BTC and the "unpaid balance says: 0.00039624 why do they not match?

Thanks you for this information! So what pool would you recommend that I start with?
If you don't mind unstable payout, then i recommend http://www.kano.is/index.php. I would dare say it has the best payouts but when you get paid is subject to luck and it take more time to hit your average. If not as suggested go for PPS pool or cloud rented hash. Something like Nicehash is very convenient but it does not pay well lately. Also with a cold temperature intake if its cold where you live, i do fan at 25% which give me 2520RPM (Somehow) and 48c(10c outdoor), 1.3TH/s @393.75hz @640Watts. Thanks for sharing! Well, I was told the S5 can make a easy $75 a month mining. Does this offer a monthly payout? I am in Arizona.. So its HOT about 110F.. So I need to move this out of my house.. too loud. |

Hello again everyone! I just got my first bitcoin unit S5 up and running. I am trying to figure out what is the best pool to point my S5 at.. I am between nicehash and Slush's pool... Can someone recommend what is the best pool for me and how payouts work at each pool? In return I would be happy to point my S5 at your address for a little time if you can help me get up and running. I also learned if you lower the frequency the fan is not as loud  |

Thank you for all this information!
The unit can only mine one pool at a time correct?
I am using NiceHash at the moment, how does payment work and how often?
|
|

|

Does frequency change the fan speed?
|
|

What psu do you have?
Do you have Ethernet cables?
I tell people do f2pool first
Kanos pool second
Ck solo pool third
Do a under clock freq 325 for a day. Then decide lower or high from that testing
1. CX750 2. Tes What is the point of under clocking and will I make less? How do I do it? |
