[www.easy2mine.com] 340$, the group buy of antminer s5(psu included)

[bobsag3]

This miner is very hot.  Is that normal.  I can barely stand behind its exhaust fume for more than 1 minute because of the hot air.  It is HOT (as in first degree burn) to the touch of the case.

You may need better room airflow then.
All of my ~25 or so from all the batches are only moderately warm to the touch, and can be picked up and moved right after turning them off. Temps are not reported as higher than 68 or so, even the 5 blade OC versions. Ambient temp is between 71-80f.

I am also wondering the same thing. If anyone has instructions on how to do this I would be very interested and thankful.

Anyone manage to overclock these safely? I have extra PSUs around to balance the power draw.

only the version with 5 blade has the possibility to over-clock and perform 1.1-1.2T hash rate, i am testing the img file these days and will let you know the result, but the engineer who develop the over-clock img file ask 200$ for this and you need register first to use the img file

I would like to say thank you to pcfli for our lengthy e-mail conversation today and for sorting out my business invoice requirements. Thanks again, pcfli.

Also for everyone who order by SWIFT wire transfer: I sent transfer on Monday, Wednesday it was already there with pcfli.

Now, payment has been confirmed and invoice have been prepared properly, I can't wait to receive my miner:)

Any update on extra blade prices?  And price on the control board? 

Also any chance on shipping before the 5th, or is that set in stone?

Thanks for the good work so far!

I have asked the factory, the cost of one extra blade is 690$, the control board is very cheap, only 15$, maybe not as expensive as the shipment fee:)

It maybe cheaper to buy a new machine and take out 4 blades.

I recieved my March 29th miner on Monday and have question.  The machine is up and running but one of the 4 blades receives many more hardware errors than the others and the hashrate is 5% less.  Addionally, the accepted shares run about 15% less than the other blades.  Any thoughts?  How can I troubleshoot this?

miller has reported a similar question, i will ask the engineer for help, what is the real hash rate your miner perform now?

Just talkedwith my bank agian.. turns out they left 3 numbers off the bank account number for seller. Talking with bank tomorrow as wire xfer dept is closed to see what my options are. Expect payment soon . will update. should have just bought/used bitcoin. lesson learned.

Ya 690 is tooo much.  I was thinking around 500.  What if we do a group buy and get some QTY?  Think if we order 100 blades we can get a betting price pcfli?

Try to replug the blade cable and change their slot on the controller, and set difficulty to 1024 on both miner web interface and pool setteings... that helped me out, cause i had the same problem....

[apollojmr]

I would just like to say that I am very happy that I saved money by directly sending btc  to pcifli and I received my miner and have been hash at 1.05 TH now for 48 plus hours with no issues. Very trustworthy member and also great equipment!
