From the start of this thread you have responded with nothing but comments that come off as harboring animosity that myself as well as other miners are getting hash rates which are nearly 15-20% faster than the units were rated at-- and do not deserve. As if we are in the wrong and Bitmain got the short end of the stick by not charging more. How about a "Wow, great concept", not just to me but to all the other members who have contributed to this new technology system.  You all know who you are. Ill refrain from going through names simply because I don't want to miss anyone and the list is long.

I am not sure that is necessary as most mining rig owners know that OC'ing voids the warranty.
In any case, it is bitmain's responsibility to advise its customers about the terms of the warranty, and to my knowledge, I have never seen any official bitmain literature to that effect, bearing in mind that the so called overclocking frequencies ship as selectable options (on the S5 at least)!

Overclocking voids the warranty? Then why is it a drop down option in the control panel of your software which ships with the units. I'm not trying to start a fight here. But I find that it's ridiculous to put an option to set a frequency higher than 350 with a simple dropdown menu - in your own software - and there be no warning whatsoever - and that BM would deny a warranty claim.

Is overclocking allowed?

Users may overclock at their own risk but overclocking WILL invalidate the product warranty.

Over Clocking will void your warranty on the unit, please be careful 

That is dedication.  Definitely could keep a eye on it that way though.   I personally keep them out of bedrooms

Overclocked yes. Im running poolside averages of 1280-1320ish on the units.

Hi,

I too had similar experience as quoted, however mine did not restart every 7 mins. When I first got my S5, it was working flawlessly for good 2 days. Then the hashing rate would gradually drop and eventually to 0 and restart. Its left at default freq of 350, temp was around 54 in the mornings and 56 highest during the day. Its powered by a CoolerMaster v1000 PSU which is running cool all day.

I turned it off for 5 mins and started again but after running around 30 mins or so it will happen again. I have another 2 units of C1 running 24/7 which does not seems to have any problem, so I guess that rules out the internet connection possibility. I inspected the blades but could not find any burned or damages. The time it takes to enter the reboot cycle is not consistant, at times it happens in a few minutes or sometimes a few hours. I got my S5 via the DHGATE link at Bitmain's site together with a friend and he too has the same problem. Currently to get stability, we ran the freq at 300 and 325 respectively.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

How can I tell what firmware version I have now? - Navigate to System -> Overview and look at "File System Version".

I can't remember the brand but It's 850W Bronze. That should be more than enough right?

If it is no longer hosted by bitmain, then anyone in their right mind should never install it as it is junk firmware and will surely invalidate any warranty they may have.

It is well documented, and been brought to your attention several times, that the firmware you refer people to causes all sorts of problems but you refuse to take any notice of it.

The most recent person you tried to ram your firmware up clearly has a pre-S3+ rig, i.e Aug firmware, and those particular units have been known to have a decayed performance with the latter firmware releases

And your private firmware updates aree the off-topic ones in as far as this thread is concerned!

I don't see it as off topic spam. It's an ontopic discussion about your useless and biased Guide backed by proofs. Provide zero evidence? I see a full page of screenshots.[/guide]

You also carefully omitted my screenshot and explanation of why what he posted was complete bullshit.  There is not one mention of this thread in that screenshot or the discussion, it is entirely off topic. I won't say it again, I will not tolerate off topic discussion.

That is bitmain's flaw to have you as a representative if they actually do. Saying that, I've never seen bitmain refer to you as their representative anywhere.

In any case, you should know that it is adequate to simply update cgminer in the Aug firmware as the reset button (your favourite excuse) works well. Just the stratum bug that was fixed in cgminer 4.6.1 needs to be corrected in the Aug firmware, but you did not even ask the OP to check for cgminer version before suggesting your firmware update (for all we know, his unit may have an updated cgminer from the previous owner!).

EDIT: And why do you insist on posting links to your firmware updates rather than refer people to the bitmain site? Does that link contain your own edited firmware where you've introduced suttle bugs to steal hash-rate or some other sinister stuff under the cover of a bitmain representative?

Will this be a regular behavior from now on? Just shut up everyone that is pointing out your moves?

Here's the deal - neither of you are allowed to post in any of my threads from now on. You are combative, abusive, off topic and contribute nothing to anyone or anything. Do not post again.

There is no caching on the bitcointalk.org side. The image is always passed directly from the source server to the user. Any Expires or Cache-Control headers sent by the origin server are passed through as well, so caching might be done by the client.

The code is computed from the URL, not the image data.

Oh, I just used solo.antpool.com:3333. But I am located in europe. Anyone who knows if the US server is better from europe as well?

I think its worth paying a little more and getting a used RM850.

Ignore him! If it ain't broke, don't fix it!
The only thing you'd need to update with the Aug firmware is cgminer, not the firmware else you run the risk of bricking your rig, even worse, installing dodgy firmware (of which there are loads for the S3 variants)!

It's been suggested before somewhere. It's not necessarily a bad idea, though I wouldn't use it, but I wouldn't ever self-moderate a thread either.


Not really much difference between self-modding a thread. Of course people would abuse it but people can just create their own thread anyway.

26. Local thread rules, if stated properly when the thread was started, specific enough and don't conflict with the forum rules, have to be followed.[e]

Theymos, i think this is almost a must if you expect this forum to continue to have any credibility in the future. Regardless of how many alt accounts are used to vote against it. This is about one of the only ways this place will survive with any credibility.

A proper image proxy link looks like:
https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fcdn.images.express.co.uk%2Fimg%2Fdynamic%2F1%2F590x%2FDog-handler-431049.jpg&t=549&c=fnsjPOVuf7KyWA

Notice that it has "t" and "c" parameters. These are used to check that the link was generated by the forum. Link generation is done whenever posts are loaded (at the bbcode parsing stage). So the links change over time. (Image proxy links expire after a month or two, so you can't just generate a valid link and then use it forever.)

Today I added a Delta AFC1212DE which has 148cfm at 3900 rpm which is being run through molex so it's going full speed. I also have a second fan running in a pull configuration at 1800 rpm. But for some odd reason Row 1 is 58 degrees and row two is 44. There is A LOT of air being pushed and pulled through this miner, why is one side way hotter? Should I RMA? I've only been running it for 5 days. I should also add I'm running it at the stock 350 setting. So no overclocking. Also the temperature in the garage is 58 degrees Fahrenheit / 14 degrees Celsius.

EDIT 1: It has now started restarting mining every 7 minutes or so. It will be at 1Th then all of a sudden drop to 0 and then start to climb back up. There are no X's.
