Someone mentioned having a separate PSU for the controller board and/or at least some separate power connection to the controller board and that it 'must' be powered on AFTER the hash boards. Do you have any insight into that?

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.

Very big hash power (7.7 Th/s), very big (11 kg) product. Definitely not for home use. 7.7 Th/s for 1 machine is great. I would buy only if I have a warehouse/garage.

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.

they are not about customer service I have contacted them multiple times on an RMA for 2 crappy U3's I have that burnt out and they wont RMA them for me because I purchased them through a reseller and not directly from them because they had a minimum order of 20 units and who the hell wants 20 of those? They are crap they freeze all the time and generate like 20% errors for me

Yeah i emailed them about it and this is the response i received
"Hi, Sorry, we're arranging the shipment of S5 very soon and the order has been confirmed by financial team, we cannot change it any more. Thanks for the understanding.
Best Regards"
IE the order has not shipped yet but fuck you we won't change your order as we already have your money.
not great for a company you just spent 2500 usd with.

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

For the orders , Bitmain should have their standard procedure that involved different departments like Sales, Finance , Logistics, I think that is the difficulty to make the change, but any way , they should write down this kind of thing somewhere to let customer know in advance.

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.

Organizations have processes in place and some are too much of a hassle to reverse. It wouldn't be too easy to do. An order was made and they processed it. I would only agree with you if you tried to change the contents of your order within 24 hours. There is not really a huge difference between a bunch of S5s and S5+ so do not worry and just focus on what you need to do next.

They used to do that without an issue but they are not motivated to move the price you paid for old hardware to new, it's all about profit relative to customer satisfaction and they are the only game in town right now, simply not motivated to do what you are asking.

Basically it seems that Bitman found a way to sell you 7 S5's in one shot in the form of the S5+.
