hello all Does any one know where to buy S7 controller ? I recently bought 2 S7 one of them seems to have a defective controlboard  . when i connect them only yhe fans work (very lightley) no light no network connectivity or anything. i tried to reach out to Bitmain they responded to my first email (5days ago) saying please provide us with order number, etc.... but i never heared back from them. So i thought about buying a control-board to save myself the hassle. I know that i can run 2 S7 with one contrller board but cables are short and i dont know where to buy them from. I would really appriciate your help Thank you |

The grue lurks in the darkest places of the earth. Its favorite diet is adventurers, but its insatiable appetite is tempered by its fear of light. No grue has ever been seen by the light of day, and few have survived its fearsome jaws to tell the tale.

They should at least help you not to lose everything while waiting for the replacement control board from Bitmain. Cables are $1 each plus shipping. |

You should in the first instance pursue Bitmain, that is your best bet for a solution. If you want to do something useful in the meantime swap the controller boards between systems and confirm that the controller is defective? Next I think you will find that if you reposition the controller between the two S7 placed alongside each other that the cables will be long enough? Finally others will be along offering replacement boards & longer cables.  Rich |

IF for some reason they asked me to return it and they find out i played with it they might make it my fault. |

You do not require any new cable. Look at the picture. http://postimg.org/image/ndtb9w7v1/EDIT That works too, nice setup
It is not my image. This is from S7 topic . |

I was wondering could you buy one s7 and split it into 3 separate miners using 2 additional controllers ?
Cooling and powering a single hashboard would be pretty easy and you could spread them around the house(s) to minimise noise and heat but still have the efficiency of the S7.

I think this would be a neat idea, as would the middle ground of a 2 Board S7. I am fairly certain that an S5 Controller with the S7 firmware loaded can be used for the S7. Rich |

Rich If i could get the hardware id be happy to give it a shot, dont really mind opening up a new S7 and potentially breaking it  . Getting the S7 isnt such an issue, but the big problem is getting additional controllers probably will be, i couldnt even get bitmain to send me an S3 controller...so ordering 2x S7 controllers...not likely. |
