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

[sidehack]

Does anyone know if you need a paperclip mod for the Dell Server 750 W PSU being sold by sidehack of geckoscience? Also how do I wire the power connectors? Opposite each other or beside each other? I PMd him about how to connect but he is offline and I want to get mining

As seen on the website's product page for this board, adjacent to the photos of them wired up and in use, there is a link to the full board documentation which describes in pictures and words the answers to all your questions. http://gekkoscience.com/misc/V0.5_Board_Doc.pdf

I missed that. I am up and running. Thank you.

Okay, up and running.  Wow.  It's light.  Surprised to find only 4 PCIE connections instead of 8.  I don't see anywhere in the GUI an option to change from CST to EDT.  Now to switch subnets.....

And didn't wake up to .1.99 but rather DHCP.  Glad I have nmap functional as my new router is a pain to log into.

Really loving this machine.

[ilpirata79]

Sometimes when I turn on one of my C1, it does not start mining... if I turn it off and turn it on again, it works... I hope it's not getting broken...
Best regards,

CE & FCC Testing/Certification Information

https://bitmain.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/204696675


We heard some customers are experiencing a speed bump with the respective Customs Agency to include in USA.  Here are the copy of the certification documentations if one is required.

Antminer products are always build to pass the CE and FCC standards the CE mark we use is not the so called, "China Export" logo!  (not only in ASIC business but other manufactures in china are known to stamp the China Export Logo instead of CE certifications needed in EU)

Yep, default was changed to DHCP since S5s. It makes it a bit more interesting for bulk customers but better for individuals as it will always be accessible without intervention.

My new S5 is superior to my other. No HW errors and a slightly better hashing rate. I'm impressed thus far.

[Digitalmocking]

These are my first bitmain boxes, I've used SP-Tech previously.

I'm pretty impressed so far, turned it on and it was hashing away 2 minutes later, doing 1.18gh/sec out of the box on decent temps.

Is there a way to change their frequency via a cron job like I can do with my sp20s?

Thank  you for hanging in with us during the RMA process.  Hope our fast domestic RMA helped you ease the pain a little.

for others, if you need RMA, or its too hard to trouble shoot, please use the Warranty Center in Denver, Colorado to get the diagnostic and usually the same day turn around service.

Happy Mining!

I need to reduce the noise generated by the S5 as far as I reasonably can without hurting its ability to cool itself.  I find that push/pull S3 fans (~2520rpm typical) are easily quieter than the stock S5 push and cool well, though would still prefer quieter.  Would a Noctua 2000 (1" Vs 1.5" depth) as a push provide noticeably quieter operation at same ambient temp without compromising cooling?  Or some other alternative (4pin PWM needed for controller compatibility)?

PS. Received shipment confirmation today for two S5 -- thanks for the week early ship Bitmain!

Thanks again Bitmain, the two S5 arrived about an hour ago!  Swapped the push fans and have them up and running to check them out before moving to CGminer 4.9.0 and 312.5MHz.

Have decided a push S3 fan is fine, but adding one as a pull makes it a little loud.  Would like a quieter pull fan.  Am considering the Silverstone FHP141 (per Philipma1957), however, it isn't PWM, just dual speed with a PWM connector -- would definitely prefer PWM.

Hey, that chat should be 24/7 after a roll out!!!

got my s5 up and running.. it is a lot louder then the s3..

is there a away to get the s3 fans and put them on it? would that void the warranty?

[opentoe]

My Dad has 5 S5's but has a weird problem. He has an X and a missing 0. How does that happen? Tried a different power supply, tried just about everything.  What is causing this? Is a chip faulty on one of his boards? BitmaimWarranty, what should he do? Here is a screen shot of it. You'll notice one x in the line and zero dropped off at the end. Very confusing.
What do you think here???




I asked and did was Yoshi asked me to. Tried using the other data cable on the other port. Switched cables around completely. Flashed from the SD image the stock firmware. Tried another power supply. Let the miner sit for a good 30 minutes to cool down. Tried a different pool. Same thing. Seems that the right side board has some faulty chips on it. I told my Dad that there was nothing I could do and I'll ask Bitmain if they are able to help or not.  He just doesn't want the miner to start getting worse and then end up out of warranty with half the chips not working. He is capable of removing the faulty board, would BitmainWarranty replace the board for him via exchange in the mail from Colorado? I know there is a certain % + / - within spec, but the miner is only one day old. Should see bad chips or board issues now. Anyone else see a dropped zero or an x in their ASIC status like the picture above? Should I contact BitmainWarranty for him?

Thanks.

got my s5 up and running.. it is a lot louder then the s3..

The S5 is generally always a lot louder then an S3. Nothing you can do about it. You can get expensive fans but ill still be louder then an S3. They aren't good for home mining.

i dont care really how loud it is.. its the type of noise it makes
the fan that is on it runs at like 4000 rpms and it has a high pitch whine, i can hear it through the whole house.

i was thinking about putting a couple of these on it http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835242011
i know they are loud too 18 db, but only run at 1000 rpm. i bet they would be much quieter..

now, the 87 cfm rating, push pull would be good enough to cool it?

[MyRig]

Up to 3 bad chips are within the advertised specs.  If you have more than 4 xs or missing chips, then you are qualified for the warranty claim at this point.

What effect does the missing chips have on the string voltage of the other chips? If you're losing a few don't you pay a double penalty in that you lose hashrate, but your power loss is largely unchanged and you'd also take a hit in the efficiency?

I would not use those fans. The stock fan is louder, but it works. I have tested the S5 with the Noctua IPPS 3000 fan as in a push / pull config and can keep the temps in check. Everything goes back to stock loud fan until warranty period is all over. You need at least one fan that can push 250 CFM and can hit 3500-4000 rpm's or two fans each pushing over 110 CFM. Anything lower than that you will have a hard time keeping the unit at normal temps.

i do have a couple corsair 140 mm fans that came on the h100 cooler..
i also have a couple JetFlo 140 mm fans that came on the 140XL cooler..

think any of those will work good? they are rated at over 100 cfm at full speed.

but i dont want to mess the warranty up since i just got it today.. perhaps i can put it in a back room for a few lol.

My S5 had spent 48 hr sitting in Shenzen customs. I understand when US customs ask for stuff here, but it is clear that something was probably missing at chinese customs as far as paperwork that should have been provided by BMT is concerned. Or did customs at shenzen got tired of miner deluge?

Anybody else had this experience? Comment from Bitmain?
