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

[coinits]

Can someone look over these numbers please?

I upped the frequency to 375 and the temp is still low. I checked the cables on the PSU and S5 and nothing is hot. Hell not even warm. I have everything in an unheated garage and the ambient temp is -3ºC right now.

Are the HW errors, rejects, and discards normal?

Can I keep boosting the frequency up until I hit a temp of 40-50ºC?

Keep a close eye on your miner, but others report that some can get to 412.5M or 425M before hitting a wall.

Looking good to me .... bitmain have not given a guide on an acceptable HW error %, but those are fairly low in my reckoning.
You should be looking at the UI numbers in conjunction with the pool reported numbers to get a reasonable check on how the rig is performing. In my case, I got a better poolside rate (over 24hrs) than was reported in the UI running at 400 (temps were 43,51), but I am getting a lower pool rate compared to the UI one @ 412.5 with temps @ 45, 52 (not yet 24hrs at that freq), though both the pool and UI rates are higher @ 412.5 than @ 400 by approx 40-55 Gh/s. More pertinent though is that the HW % has gone up significantly compared to the last, though still low in the grand scheme of things, talking 0.0099% @ 412.5 compared to 0.0009% @ 400

Okay guys, while its inevitable that there will be a certain amount of discussion about mining speculation that will occur here, can you take the big discussions to that subforum please? This thread is designed for those looking for hardware / troubleshooting / technical information about S5s specifically.

Congrats, I never realized you were a mod now. I don't see it indicated beside your avatar.

My pool (AntPool) UI

My pool (AntPool) UI

Poolside not too much off compared to the UI, aka 1.23 as opposed to 1.21 respectively, should be about the same after 24hrs (of course what we do not factor in is the effect of network latency on the numbers).
I'd say, whack it up!

Looks great! I didn't notice higher H/W rate till I took mine to 400 so I had it sitting at the next freq below 400 and it preformed great!

This wait for my S5 is painful.  
EMS just reports On Route

I want to test the S5 before our bleeping 'load shedding'(power cuts) start.

Are you tracking it on your home country's website or China EMS website. Use www.17track.net and it should  give you detailed information from China and then from your home country when it arrives.

EMS don't seem to be very express, 2 parcels from China have arrived (bought 5-10 days after S5s) and I'm still waiting for the miners.

Last tracking info from EMS 13.1. 2015, DHgate reported arrival to my country about week ago.

Thanks for the advice.
That site is alot more detailed.

Thanks for the feedback. It really helps.

I got some really sweet deals on two of these PSU, two months back, i got two for 90 bucks each as used but thy weren't used when i got them and are still going strong.

S5s have been stable and hashing away.
How do I get extranonce working with nicehash ?
Using Jan 7th firmware.
Appending #xnsub to the end of the pool URL makes extranonce work, but when the price set in the password is no longer met, the miner keeps the pool alive but without any work, and will not fail over to the 2nd pool.

I have the exact same problem. I posted it in the Nicehash thread but no answer yet. I hope someone can help. Thank you in advance.

Absolutely fine, you can always ignore discards as they don't mean anything for you.

[alienesb]

My four are running great on Ghash non-stop now for 32 hours (knock on wood.) When I was at Nicehash I had to reboot 4-5 times per day on each miner. Don't know what that was about but it stopped as soon as I moved to Ghash.

Hi
 Im looking to buy 5 s5 miners and would greatly appreciate if any of you fellow miners could donate any unwanted coupons.

Has anyone with a C1 tried switching the blades and controllers out? It would look a little frankenstineish. Just wondering if the water blocks could help keep these cool given the different style of the chips. They use the same heatsink as the S1 and S3 its just that the heatsink is on the chips instead of the PCB. I have 3 S5's but no C1 and bitmain isn't selling them anymore. Thought about grabbing one of of ebay just haven't pulled the trigger yet.

Have you noticed a downside to doing this? Seems a good way grab an extra BBB.
