they arrived and are greatsee this https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1173573.msg12529952#msg12529952old question below. okay controller is below ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FKFOM0GX.jpg&t=663&c=iH0KXHON96YpUQ) nine 18 pin jacks means 9 blades are possible ? so we need some longer 18 pin cables and we could make a copy of the s-5+ also if you have 2 s-7's you can pull 1 controller off line and run 6 blades on one controller giving a spare backup controller. So we need a source for cables that are a bit longer. So does anyone have a source for these cables?

Assuming they are willing to sell without making you send in a replacement it is likely you could duplicate the S5+ controller. It seems it could be flashed via serial if needed and most likely be turned into just like S5+ controller.
Guess we will see if they make S7 controller have a different firmware not compatible with S5 blades. I think this is likely, but I have been wrong before. If you can combine it we could see some S7's with old S5 blades on up to 6 blades.
Could be some interesting times.

I'm not sure that it will be S7 controller. This is only one of the possibilities, and can change already with patch2 S7, or even earlier.
But I am pretty sure that, as S5+ , as well as S7, be able to work with S5 controller.
And these are easy to obtain, if you have two S5.

The picture of the controller board for the S7 says on the silk screen S5+ so it "seems" that they are identical. Also it has been reported that S5 & S5+ controllers and firmware seem to be completely interchangeable. As to cables someone must know the part number of the plugs?

I'm pretty sure those connectors are made by JST.I can't find exact match to them anyway.If pitch is normal 2mm then PHD-series seems to be close enough to fit.Maybe little modified.Those PHD connectors are easy to find,digikey sells them.

Awesome!
Anyone got an idea for a case for housing 6x S7 blades? Could you cool these chips with the original heatsinks with less static pressure (noise) from fans?
6 "silent" blades = 2420 W = 67% load of a 16A fuse @ 230V, would be nice for the home-miner! At least in Europe (afaik).

I have been thinking on that myself. The main thing is the cables. It is a pain to get them. Just like the S5 where it would accept 3 and also 4 with a different firmware. The main stumbling block was the cables. Having to custom make them is tedious. I do have a couple cases I am going to try this on though for multiples in one chassis.

I have 50 of the 18 pins cables custom made in stock, and also some 16 pins ones for early S5s. 12" long, they were like 1$ each. if I remember correctly. There are/were for the S5 watercooled case, and some other projects, but it seems that they can serve other purposes.

Innteristing stuff guys, Do you think it would be a problem to place it on it's side? Then you don't need longer cables. I only ordered one S7 at the moment. (not that rich) ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) But when i do order my second will try that. Then a nice box around it, a little overclock and you have a nice 10 TH home miner. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

Even in the us is is not that bad. I owe Phil for his help on it. But I love my 240 after getting it in. I for one doubt I run another 120 line for mining after. Having 30 amps and a pdu separating it is just amazing for the new miners. It will not work for all but I really think at least bitmain is going to keep releasing bigger miners compared to the past.

all my 18 pins cables are sold. ![Cry](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cry.gif) some 16 pins ones left. I didn't expect so much interest. I'll take 200 more with my next order from this supplier, approximately 3 weeks delay.

I'm not in a hurry ,as you still have to order them. 10 cables would be nice. Hope to hear from you.
