ANTMINER S5: 1155GH(+OverClock Potential), In Stock $0.319/GH & 0.51W/GH

[zOU]

I just checked and the PSU I used is a IBM X336 585W Power Supply. IBM PN: 24R2640

So clearly undersized, i'll put back the 835W as it makes no difference:

it is now running on a 1300W PS with another S5:

it seems a bit better after only 1h... time will tell (it's on cgminer 4.9.0)

we are starting to have good weather and today for no reason one of my s5s decided to throw out 25,000 HWE about .19% and it was hashing at only ~500 ghs.. even tho there were no x's and both boards were showing 50c..

i took the fans off and blew out the dust, wow so much dust.. it seems to be running better.. maybe its time for a spring cleaning? dont foreget the psu too.. mine was caked in dust as well.

unfortunately my 2 s5s are pretty much EOL. they are just at break even with my power costs.. but im going to continue to run them until i get the bitcoin i just spent on my s7 back. should be about 45 more days.

yeah, everybody forgets about dust in miners after a few months , especially winter. Just cleaning out the dust on the panes of the miner can lower temps drastically. Maybe the temp sensor malfunctioned or died and the miner was tricked into thinking it's running at a good temp, then overheated a bit? If possible try to get a new hashing blade, but it's not worth it at this time as the price for s5 hashing blades is around 150USD.

no im back on track now. my s5 has only 6 hwe and its been running at just over 13 hours..

i was saying for zOU.. maybe its dust. im still running my 2 s5s cause i want as much bitcoin as i can make before the halving.. even tho it costs a few cents a month to run them.

I've cleaned them with compressed air, but the change was brought by connecting a new PS

On another note, one of my S5 stopped hashing yesterday (no ssh, no web) so I restarted it.

And just after I left the house for a week another stopped reporting on the pool webpage... so it's going to stay like this for a week...

Any idea what can cause it ?

They're all on kano's 4.9 cgminer.

Edit: i'll be offline for 12h or so until I land in SFO

sometimes mine jam up and have a red light and a constant beep if a pool goes offline.

the newest firmware july 15? seems to help

i use these so i can remotely restart them

No beeping
No Red LED

They're just sitting there doing nothing...

ive not see that.. there is a watchdog script in the s5 that should restart it if it goes zombie like that.

[zOU]

Well, it has been 4h

We'll see if it's back when I land.

It's on the same network switch as my other 3 and it has the same model of 850W PSU as another S5.
The other 2 I own share a 1300W PSU.

==== 24h later=====


still no submitting shares... ah well....

I just had a blade die today. got the "xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx" of death and said my farewells to the blade. I went to remove the still working board and put it in my custom single blade cooling system I made. Now the only thing that turns on is the BB, and it only has the standard 4 green LED lights on, and the red PCB board light. The red light on the blade isn't turning on, and the ethernet lights aren't turning on either. Tried doing a hard reset, but the button is unresponsive. Tried switching cables, different PSU's, nothing. Looked up and tried every troubleshooting tip in the book.

[zOU]

Well I power cycled my S5 today and it's hashing fine...

Is it safe to rip off the speaker? Or is there a software way to disable the beeping when the miner lose connection?

i put tape over it..

[MyRig]

You can uncheck the check box for BEEP in the miner setting page.
Also, if you really don't like to hear it, yes, TAPE over the speaker hole will reduce the noise level.

However, please be warned!!!  The beeping noise from ants are "cry" for help from Ants.  Telling you something is not right with it.

Haha, thanks for the reply. Maybe you are not aware that, that option does not actually work and the checkbox was removed in the latest firmware?
I really don't need them to wake up the neighbors when internet cut during some night.

[MyRig]

My bad.  yes it was removed on the newer version... 

you can snip one of the leg on the speaker on the control panel but you can use electrical tape and just wrap that black round item well should reduce the noise but please be careful!!

You don't want to completely ignore the cry from the ants!

You make it sound much cuter than it is

I have monitoring software, meaning if i'm up and about, i will notice if something goes wrong. If i'm not, the beeping won't help, but will still disturb the neighbors. Cheers anyhow, i understand Bitmain exited the home miner scene.

One of my S5 is starting to have problems.

- it never hashed at 1.15Ths, it was closer to 1.06Ths
- Since today it seems to be hashing at half speed.
- however the UI doesn't report anything wrong:





and here in orange:



I'll reboot it to see...

Everything looks fine. I suspect a reboot will fix it.
