My S5 is mining away at a little over 1.1THs on default settings at my pool https://www.kano.is/ working fine (600W on a Seasonic 1200 Platinum) Great thanks to the cgminer development team for their outstanding contribution to the bitcoin community.

If you (or somebody else) has a couple which are not needed, I would love to get them Who got S5 coupons? Which customers do they issue those to?
Are you sure there is such a thing? I saw they dropped the price on the s5, but I haven't seen any coupons. Their are coupons I already gave two of mine away... Coupons for something a person has already bought is not a good compensations for price drops IMO . Then for the bad news ... One of my two S5s showed up with a dead blade , and thus the back and forth with tech support begins.. I have tried both a Corsair RM 850 and also tried a RM 1000 .. In BOTH cases blade one shows all x's after about two or three min of up time.. The whole chain for blade one goes dead.. The blade has power and the red light in the card is lit.. Looks like it may be just a bad blade.. The second blade hashes great but that gives the unit a total of about 550 GHs .. I'm running 100% stock no over clocking or anything ..

Just got S5 and it is hashing steady. The noise is not bad. From the reviews I thought it was going to be much louder. Its a higher pitch for sure, its small in size and not really overwhelming. I have one setup in my bedroom and don't think it will be a problem.

I'd suggest you get your hearing checked. Mine is in the sub level basement garage of my apartment building, and anyone who walks down to the basement garage can hear it (my garage is the furthest away in the basement) dB readings: Standing outside my garage door - 7meters from it - garage door, car, a wall of boxes between me and the S5: 59dB 1meter direct line of sight from the S5: 69dB 1foot above the S5: 77dB The heat sink exit metal temp reading is only 39degress - so maybe the fan is over compensating? ...

Noise levels are relative for different people. I worked 5m away from an SP10 for 14 hours a day for about 4 months so I have a different reference frame then say someone who has only ever had an ASICMiner Cube.

I agree fan is set too high at each of the temps. unit seems very stable under 60c temp readings . the fan is set to try to keep the unit at lower temps then you need.

Kano, you're being really aggressive the last few months and there really is zero need for it. My comment was in relation to you telling someone else to 'get their hearing checked' just because they had a different opinion on how 'loud' they felt the S5 was. Take it down a notch please.

I have a little lab here with nearly every Bitmain product except those USB thingies. In a completely unscientific observation the S5 is a clear winner in terms of noise per GH/s. Four S3s are completely overwhelmed by one of those little screamers. I can't hear even the Spond SP20 anymore after the S5s were plugged in.
Also not easily stackable like the S3/C1, which we built into towers 6-8 high. Disappointing design, definite step backwards.

I posted specific measured details, meanwhile you posted a reply opinion based on you now being deaf. Seems what's becoming a usual comment for you is necessary. Try actually reading my post ...

What is the process for transferring coupons? Is that donate button supposed to do something? I mean I would assume so but mine doesn't.

Remove the plastic sides, lay them on their sides, and zip-tie them in a stack. What's hard about that?

Anyway, it seems the solution that ckolivas worked out here a couple of days ago is reasonable if you need to be anywhere near the S5 and have some S3 fans you can use (or source from somewhere else) https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=902305.msg10054507#msg10054507We are in summer now, so we're also testing in a much hotter environment, so if you are in the middle of winter, that quieter fan from the S3 would probably be ideal (though probably still ideal anyway without a colder environment)

I'd like to buy some.

Remove the plastic sides, lay them on their sides, and zip-tie them in a stack. What's hard about that? they can do a decent 2 wide 3 high tower ---------wire out on the left and right. but they are a clear cut loser to the s-3 or the sp20 in the stacking department. look the s-5 and the sp20 have plus and minus. in my home the sp20 works better. I sold my demo s-5 to a forum member,but after some pm's with another forum member I purchased another s-5 and I will do a review of it with a psu voltage controller in about 3 weeks. If the voltage controller does as well as hoped the s-5 can do 800gh at 240 watts using this fan http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KFCRATC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1it will be a nice miner. until then I tell everyone the s-5 is a loud miner don't buy it if : A) noise matters to you and/or B) you can't tweak the fans due to a lacking skill set. or C) big stacks of them are needed.
