I'm still interested in parting ways with an S5+ if anyone wanted one.  Preferably in the US for shipping reasons.

I'd consider it to do a review I guess. I don't like missing models out, PM me.

I think my S5+ controller has now died. I've operated dozens of S5's for a LONG time. This is the first time I've run into this issue with a controller. I even took special care with my S5+ to make sure it was run in an extra cool environment. Very disappointing.

Hi Tupsu....

Sorry to hear that. I hate to do this but I have to send you to info@bitmaintech.com as your Order ID does not qualify for the local EU warranty.

I see the good temperature and right frequency with 1 missing "o" and 1 "x".

What does this mean?

your Order ID does not qualify for the local EU warranty.

I ordered straight from bitmaintech.com site and live in EU. Estonia.

That is not good to hear :/.  Good thing is they should have them as S7 appears to use same controller.

I still have had no issues.   I do keep have a decent amount of CFM from fan's pushing air through my miners.   Not sure if that is making any difference but I like it and it's made my other miners make it through summer mining.

Good question I was not aware of EU warranty center.  But I'm sure they would make lots of EU happy if they had this.

But the anwser is that means he has to deal with China warranty I believe.  So it's dealing with shipping there most likely.

You're right.

[yxt]

Yes, this is obvious.
But what does it mean if you get direct EU warranty?

Good question I was not aware of EU warranty center.  But I'm sure they would make lots of EU happy if they had this.

I only heard some rumors about a EU office but got no verification, so this is interesting...
BTW: In the past I have offered to help them with EU based warranty stuff as we have done for rockminer. Most EU warranty
and distribution was handled by us.

You will need to email bitmain on this on.  I do not know of one or heard of anyone using one.

So either they made a slip of togune, or possibly we will see one sometime put in EU.  But you will need to ask BM direct as none of us are going to know this.

Is it possible to just order a new controller?  Seems like that would be cheaper than waiting weeks for a response to my RMA request, mailing this monster away, and then waiting god knows how long to get a new one.

I think it depends on who you talk to.   On S3's they originally would sell them straight out,  but later made it where you had to do a RMA.  On this it was since they were able to fix most of them, and sell again.

But it's worth a shot to ask.  Just tell them you want to buy and not mess with.   If they do it would be quicker and no having to ship old controller out.

Hopefully I can get ahold of someone.  I put in a ticket yesterday.  Would be great if the controllers were cheaper than shipping...

On the other hand, if there were 3 people who were interested in buying individual S5+ 1/3 units, and had their own controllers, I'd also be open to that option.

Please let me know if they let you buy controllers and if it's a fair price.  That is a interesting idea for down the road if I sell.

Having a controller for each one would make it lots easier to sell.  Finding a buyer for entire unit is a little more limited audience.

You probably only need a new BBB from some used S5 miner and S5+ firmware

I havent opened mine up.  Is it another miner that is not using the SD card?  Looked empty in your shot but thought I would check to make sure.

Thanks for all your good information you have shared.

I also have not yet been opened S5+ controller.
But he also works with S5 software . It will see only four blades.
S5 controllers work with S5+ software.
From this I conclude that both BBB are identical or interchangeable.

Yesterday I asked Bitmain if I could buy 2x more controllers for my S5+; they said they don't have any spares.

It could be they just don't want to sell the controller board by itself.  It has some nice features others would like to get it by itself.  Also S7 appears to use the same one..... so I think they brushed you off nicely.

But most likely they just don't want to sell separate.  We know they have them there for warranty.   So chances are this means if you only replacement where you ship in old one.

Tupsu I want to try using an S5 controller with a 1/3.

Can you tell me which of the 4 pin cables are 12v and which are ground?

Thanks
