Anybody here off hand know the address of bitmain Tech in china? Trying to get a FCC form filled out for Fedx delivery.
Never Mind, found it where they were advertising for a Embedded Software Engineer
FYI - Federal Express Shipping Option
I order a S5 back on the 25th and chose FedX for the shipper to the US. It has been tied up twice in customs, once in china which a phone call took care of and once here which required a FCC form to be filled out. They knew it was a BTC miner and were insistent that this had to be completed for release. Luckily I had a helpful agent that assisted me in filling out the form which should have been completed by Bitmain according to Fedx. Be careful in choosing them for a shipping option to the US it isn't worth the 10 dollars or so you will save.

In my experience, DHL is the most reliable method of getting items from China to the USA. |

Crazy thing I always have used UPS before and never had a problem chose FedX this time as it was cheaper and had all the above problems. Guess it is luck of the draw and the Customs agent you get. |

Sell momentum gaining at $220. Headed downwards, currently at $241.
Will Bitmain adjust pricing of the S5 within 48 hours to correct ?
Stay tuned, true miners !

It's the 8 pin black one at 2 o'clock from it. thanks I Had trouble deciding if was the black one or the other gold/copper one. was thinking about other fan mods. right now I am running 2 delta fans in push pull great for overclocking. using the dc to dc converter which runs a constant 9.96 volts to the deltas. these are good numbers if I had a place to set them up I would do more. Sound is okay 62db with the s-5 and the sp20 sound by side I have the spare bedroom window open 1 inch and temps are good.  |

I ordered Thursday. FedEx did call and were happy after we were done. Received my S5's today. Gotta says the fans are annoying, but not as bad as I anticipated. The S5 fans are a little louder than the S2 fans. But definitely the higher pitch will drive you nuts. Glad I took everyone's advice and also ordered some Delta fans. |

I have marked the LM75 (TEMPERATURE Sensor) Chip in the following pic. Just stick a small heatsink on top of the sensors, one on each hashing board.
If you put a heatsink on the the sensor wouldn't that make the sensor inaccurate then? I mean you're cooling the sensor but not necessarily the board. |

It may waste a little power but you can always just use a normal fan limiter that comes with most desktop case fans; you simply need to modify them to attach to a pwm, which is easy. You can even daisy chain them to limit to the exact speed you want. They should waste ~ 3 watts each. Seems the much easier option. I used them to make an S2 tolerable in my apartment.
I have a ton of these; if anyone wants some just pm me and I will send you some.

they have a little resister in them and are pretty nice. I am very happy using this http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00OT58TL4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1I suspect it sold out due to my thread on fan mods. What I like is I am able to do 6 delta fans if I choose and run 3 s-5's all at freq 393 and decent sound levels. 62db I found another on ebay. I may set it up on my fan mod thread to demo what these little dc to dc converters can do compared to a fan controller. If I had a way to dump s-5 heat out of the house I would get some more. I am running just about 12 th in house using 6k watts . house is warm maybe too warm. |

 that's dum then it will not know the real temperature of the hash board and you will burn it up. your s5 will look like this lol lol I have marked the LM75 (TEMPERATURE Sensor) Chip in the following pic. Just stick a small heatsink on top of the sensors, one on each hashing board.

For what it's worth, ZoomHash is still at $325 + shipping. They accept PayPal and Credit Cards. They claim 5 days shipping in the USA.
Alas this is not be. I got an E-mail from Zoom Hash less than 48 hours later saying that they had to cancel the order. So my "S5 for $348 shipped to Minnesota, paid with Discover" turned into a flop. They are crediting the money back. Bummer.......  |
