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

[TTravis]

Below is a screenshot of one of my AntMiner S5's which does not seem to want to hash.

I replaced the fan because it was not running.  The replacement fan runs and the green light is flashing.

I replaced the controller and reset to default.

I have swapped ribbon cables with another unit.  It looks like the fact that I get a 0 temp on board 1 is keeping me from hashing.

Any suggestions on what to do.

Thanks,

Tom Travis

Does it work with only the second blade? It might be possible if one blade is completely wrecked that it messed up the controller.

Well i'm at a lost and it seems i have a bad controller, i switching with another controller and everything works fine and the problem folllows my bad controller.
the problem is the controller doesn;t see the hashing boards, everything else is ok, but no hashing board.

i tried different PSU, switched contoller, unpluged each board one at a time, and plugged in the other ports.

all i get all the time is this.



Any Suggestions .?

Sure. Try to update a FW (to newer version or to the same version or to any other "third party" version, like this one: https://www.nicehash.com/download/AntMiner-S5-SD-firmware_cgminer_4.9.0_nicehash_and_performance_graph.tar.gz.

I met a problem with one of two S5s one my fellow has bought. One of S5s was beeping periodically in spite that it had an internet access (ping was working normally from it's web interface). I just re-flashed it with new FW (I have posted a link above) and this action has fixed that issue...

tried that, tried all different version of Bitmains Firmware, also tried SMith version, still same problem, tonight ill try doiing a SD recovery but i`m not hopefull, also i tried plugging all the boards on my good controller, with Bitmains Latest firmware, tough, the controller sees all the boards, it only hashing at 2 boards, yet, when pluggin the 2 boards from the bad controller to the new ones, everything works, so at least i know it`s not the hashing boards.

after tonigh's test, i guess i`ll contact BItmain and ask the cost of a new controller since i'm out of warranty.

You can try with firmware version that supports 4 boards and run them all from one control pcb. Tupsu tested and wrote something about that. Just need to find a link to that firmware

[kaltar]

tried that also last night, even tough the controller saw the 4 blades, it was only hashing at 2, but i didn`t plug both fans on the same (good) controller, will try again tonight..

OPEN UP YOUR EYES for the DELIVERY TRUCK, too  

Ships Fast & FLY to your door via UPS




*This was actual one of the S5 deliveries in some town USA.

Damages caused by the carrier is not covered under the warranty!!!

Assholes. People like this need to be thrown around and shuckup . How about he comes to mine when am in throws shit, ill throw it right back at his face. UPS and DHL really do wind me up is people like this that cause us honest miners or buyers problems and claims have to be filed with the company that then taken months to have any action taken then again even if the miner was no broke Id be still making a full claim for it being not working. Hope the miner was not broke and was ok as with the protection they have seems strong enough to be rolled around like it had.

DHL in my area sucks he does not throw items.  But he will call at end of day and say something like "I'm at X buisness and will be here for 30 minutes if you drive here and get your package you can have it today, if not it will be tomorrow". I suspect he does this to the people at edge of his delivery as that is what I am.  I can count on a call every time though.

And of-course he marks it as if he delivered to your house so he gets paid mileage.  He just sits in his truck.   If it was not miners I would make it the next day but so far every time it's been a miner.

So is it safe to run 4 blades on 1 controller??
thx!

Yes. 4 blades and 2 x S5 original FAN.

My water-cooled S5 miners works for more than half a year with 3 or 4 blades.

This radiator is not for S5

If you put other and faster  fans, You can use it with 2x S5 blade.

With original fans You can use it with formula
1 radiator=1x S5 blade.

what is your lowest s5 temperature on water?
can't get water cooled s5 under 50C! is this normal? in the same condition, i have under 30C temperature on c1!

I have not measured the temperature of the water. It may be 35-40 degrees Celsius.  Antminer shows 57-63 for
six blades at frequency 350 .I am using  SC-BC2  cooling kit  http://shop.syscooling.com/goods.php?id=46

[mavericklm]

6blades on 3 water blocks? or 6blades on 6 water blocks?

i have water input and output at the waterblock ~30C and reported temp on the blade is ~50C

looks like i have a bed contact between the s5 blade and wb or the s5 is giving off too much heat for this aluminium wb....

Does it work with only the second blade? It might be possible if one blade is completely wrecked that it messed up the controller.

I swapped blade 1 and 2 so that blade 1 would be the one showing the temperature reading.  Still not working

I disconnected the "now" blade 2 and will not hash with only blade 1 but everything else looks ok.

I tried disconnecting blade 1 but learned it will not even start up without blade 1....  Not surprised.

I switched controller boards again but same result.

I will try to flash with latest firmware and see if that makes a difference.

If not, I guess I will try swapping out piece by piece until the entire unit is different.  Fun project to take up a Sunday.


Update:  Flashing firmware did not make any difference.

I offer you for 2 blades together 100USD + shipping costs US or EU. (depending on your location)
No need for radiators and cables, only the screws with springs and 2 x blades.

that video looks very familiar I believe that was filmed on one of my security cameras I remember hearing that story
