Not overclocked that should be fine to run two S5s.
I've been running 2 x OC'd S5's on a 1200W server PSU for months without any issues - but server PSU's are much stronger......  |

Many ATX ones can as well, though sometimes the OC protections will kick in. One of my S5s is pulling 700W from the wall on a Seasonic Platinum 1000 so probably ~640W or so DC. 24/7 it might be pushing it to run 1280W from that PSU, though it would likely work. |

Anyone know what model the stock fan is on the S5? And if they are any other 35mm fans out there that can keep the S5 cool at ambient temps?
Also don't waste your money on getting the Corsair SP120 fans. While they are quiter than the Noctua's the temps will rise over 60c pretty much %100 of the time.
Which is absolutely fine, that's the same as an S5 in 35-40C ambients. SP120s are the quietest you can get an S5 - within reasonable bounds. Using two SP120's temps rose to 65c right away, and it was cool in my house. Soon as the warmer months come that S5 will fry up. Used two Noctua 3000 and temps were 10c less in same room. Nothing special at all about the Corsairs. As I said before, 65C is fine which you can improve by taping the top and bottom of the heatsinks closed. SP120s are quieter than the 3000's but slower, because that's the speed they're designed to run at. Neither fan is "better" than the other - they're just different. They are sitting on a flat surface already. I guess I can try taping the bottom and top heatsinks and see what happens. I do like to keep them running at 60 or below, since we really don't know the real temp of the ASIC chips. Do you know the max temps of the ASIC chips on there? The sustained temp? |

Let me get on your server....I'll have them running away in 20 minutes, because every packet that makes it back will contain malware for their computer, not to mention being automatically blacklisted on the firewall for 6 months. Yes, the entire subnet. Been dealing with ipchains and firewalls for years. Very good at Linux security.
Not that I don't believe you, and I'm certainly not pretending to be a network specialist, but if it were that simple wouldn't DDOSing be a thing of the past? Not that simple. Some attacks only last an hour, not days. It all depends on how the system admins know what they are doing. Can't just put a caching service up and say you are protected. Need to log into the server itself, review the logs and know where to look to find the right solution. I have no idea what kind of service Bitmain uses to run his site. His own server or has it hosting somewhere. But if an attack renders your site useless for a few days and you have tried all that you can then you need to hire some big boys to take over and clean house. |

Not overclocked that should be fine to run two S5s. I run at a frequency of 400 I would suggest get a PSU from Sidehack ( http://www.gekkoscience.com) If you can feed it 240v, you can get one for 20% of the Seasonic. Otherwise, get 2 of his smaller supplies. I personally like the idea of 2 psu's over a single. If you have two and one goes bad, you're still running at 50%. If you have a single psu for 2 miners, if it goes bad, you're 100% dead. |

you are missing that they don't care about this (since they never corrected it) BTW, it does not matter anyway since you ALSO pay for shipping and that 0.25 number never included shipping anyway. |

That was true when the S5 first came out (and the thread started), i.e batch 1 .... what you see on the bitmain website is batches 5 & 6 (a few months down the road!) |

I see the $369 price but have not been able to put any in the Cart - The screen past the 2nd 'captcha shows their transaction website to be offline.
Notice that the DDOS reward is up to 110 BTC - Hopefully that's enough to motivate someone into action !

I'm told by Janet I'm awarded coupons (my previous $30 coupon was cancelled by Bitmain when I was unable to make wallet payment for an earlier S5 order -- my wallet locked!) Is this a proper deal for a one day old Bitmain specified US$100 net change in price? And what are the coupons good for, I'm done with ordering S5, I'd next look at the next generation! Strikes me a bit presumptuous -- is this what Bitcoin brings? Would this be acceptable for a non-BTC purchase? Are we all fools (just asking)? |

Hi, I also bought 3/10, yes, apply to Bitmain and most likely you'll receive coupons! |
