(Review/Guide) Hotmine X5 upgrade kit for Antminer S1/S3/S5

[sidehack]

If that's like the one that came with S7-LN miners, I had two or three with crap fans out of a dozen or so.

Yeah, it is the same power supply that has came with S7-LN and S2 Antminers.

I ordered my third Arctic F14 fan for these power supplies and I should get in running again smoothly in tuesday.

Can these boards be used in a antminer C1 ?
Because its now useless for mining on any coin
Would be nice if i can give it some new function

[HagssFIN]

C1 has the same hash board form factor, so yeah, it should fit ok.

I've had so good time with the Hotmine X5 so far that I decided to make an order for one more kit.
Let's see if they have these babies available

I'm still interested to purchase a kit... winter is coming + BTC price had pumped, need less to purchase with BTC and mine them back.
Make more sense to buy now.

pm me if you can get a hold of an order, I'd like to order a kit for my s5 too. I contacted them and they  sent me a reply I couldn't understand, so If I could order one with you, and maybe use escrow or some thing? are you located in the USA?

[HagssFIN]

Sorry, but I'm located in Finland, so that is a no-go.

But I do recommend contacting Hotmine and making your own order.  

I have not yet received an answer from Hotmine but I will update here.

[HagssFIN]

I got forward with the order and another kit is on the way soon. 

[HagssFIN]

I've tried emailing them, how can i place a order?

Use the contact form at the website http://en.hotmine.io/contact-us

I'm surprised none of you have considered their heater-miners:
http://en.hotmine.io/heater-miner
could be a good substitution/addition to central heating,it can be used to heat pool water,etc. etc.
the price doesn't seem too high,the only problem-they are a Ukraine based company
problems with delivery and servicing as they do not provide any sort of warranty

[leowonderful]

The problem is they don't respond very much to any questions or even order requests, and nobody has really been able to get their hands on a heater unit even though many have inquired. Looks cool and possibly practical, though, hopefully these guys get their production and customer service up to speed soon.

[HagssFIN]

As far as I know, they are pretty much hand full with work at the moment, so there might be delay with answer messages.

Hiring few guys more and updating the website to process orders more automatically would help them a lot.

Did anybody manage to order X5/X6 or contact the manufacturer lately?

Where do/did you buy your BBB?

I bought first one from the forum marketplace and now I bought a Beaglebone Black from Ebay for my second upcoming build.

[sidehack]

I've got about a hundred S5 Beaglebones if someone needs one.

@HagssFIN
So you have to have the MicroSD card in the slot all the time? It doesn't install anything on the BBB?
