Well it is smart to put individual heatsinks on all the chips, I am surprised they didn't do that originally with the S5.
Yes, they have done so. A few s5's with small heatsinks went on the market. It has not increased shipping costs. I think it was a test series before the development of the model s5 + and perhaps before s7 if one appears. Aahh ... thats where I was wrong too. The S5 has small heatsinks on the rear and the large heatsink on the chip heads. From the picture of the S5+, it looks like they've done away with the large heatsink completely and they have slightly larger individual heatsinks on the chip heads and the smaller heatsinks (similar to what some S5's shipped with) on the rear. Vorta modified his s5 in this way, but also Bitmaintech did a short series s5 modified in this way: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=902305.4500Rabinovitch confirmed this in Bitmaintech . Please note that a so modified s5 has a higher heat capacity . Slower reach appropriate working conditions. The use of such heatsinks reduces the dimensions of the device and/or reduces the level of HW errors. |

I want just the center unit and the controller for 900 shipped.
I want to buy add on left or right sides for 750 a piece.

That's genius. Might lose a few pennies on the shipping but you'd avoid so many issues with imports. |

I wonder if this is something that can happen. |

There are many indications that this may be a mythical s7 . That would be good news for everyone. Despite the progress in reducing the demand for energy is still insufficient. |

But the s5+ just seem undervolted S5 stuff, with more chips. If bitmain labeled that S7, that would be hella inappropriate. They might have came up with the S5+ in the mean time since that's good for their market and mines but its not really a new generation, is it? |

They might have came up with the S5+ in the mean time since that's good for their market and mines but its not really a new generation, is it? Truth and PCB redesigned. But it has not yet seen even the really serious announcement of a new device. Until now everyone was talking about s6 not s5+. It is true that without the new ASIC will not reach newer heights here . In addition, with increasing density of elements will be increasingly difficult to work without air conditioning . In case of new device with the new chip is a fear that will be put up for sale with a delay . I do not think that Bitmaintech has the technical resources to bring 2 or 3 new devices operating on them in parallel. Personally, I would be focused on the most promising solution. A solution used in the S5+ seem to only an intermediate step. |

And here it is thanks ITOP I am very curious what we'll see, what are the possibilities of overclocking and what difficulties in supply and stable operation . Maybe new software? |

Despite the progress in reducing the demand for energy is still insufficient. no no no I got a great idea. let then sell the s-5+ center piece as a stand alone. does 2550 gh at 1150 watts. you can buy add-on left right s-5+'s if you wantin a week or two or you can wait for an add-on s-7 say late sept or early oct.this is a really good idea. I really think they should do this. |

I think they shouldn't bother with the add-ons, just sell the single by itself.
Might be interesting though if they sold an add-on with 2 boards to attach to an S5. It DOES have those 2 "spare" connectors on the controller board.....

Maybe after they see the low demand on these they will consider, but I think for first few months it'll be as is |

philipma,
nobody forbids dreams.
Let's see why Bitmaintech concentrated forces on the creation of an intermediate solution . Why do they have lost so much time to create s5 + ?
Let's look back in the series of devices.
Let's examine what is more important: sale of devices or hashnest ? What is the future of hashnest when changing 25BTC - 12.5BTC . As for me, here we have answers to basic questions.
