Its just a BBB, which is used across all latest Antminers, but the thing is, the unique thing you need to turn the BBB into a controller is the daughter board, the unique thing to each miner. Its also hard to tell which portion of the controller died. I guess having a spare would not hurt, but by itself, will not run any miners. On the page itself it says that it is not included (The unique portion of each miner controller); "IO board doesn't included." Quoted exactly as Bitmain wrote it in their disclaimer. No my S7 works fine I was just wondering will that firmware work in the beagle/daughter that's already in there I have batch 5 which is 600mhz. and if it does what are there firmware fixes ?? Oh i see. Nobody really knows what the "fixes" does, nothing before or after seem to have visible change so since they seem to be very minor, changing firmware is generally considered a no go. For which firmware to get, you have to put the right one in. If you put which miner and batch information in the order detail, they will give you the right firmware for it. I don't want to buy beagle board or controller board I just want to know if its for the new beagles/controller boards the have on there site and can it be used on the old ones I have batch 5 ? |

Ok I have gone back in the thread & understood the question now... The linked to files are an image suitable for writing to an SD card with the tool in the second link. This gets a new or corrupted BB going so that you can then flash the correct firmware update for your version of S7. So only needed if you have a corrupted or New BB. Rich |

I mine in kano.is. My Antminer S5 seems to drop other board with DDOSes and needs a reboot to get that board back online. Is it normal for Antminer S5?

Nope it does not happen to me on my S5. but then again not every S5 is the same if it were that would be so nice. |

Anyone here tried to hook up two of the stock S5 fans in series so they run at 6V instead of 12V to reduce noise?
Just wondering if it will start at 6V or do I need to wire a potentoresistor.

with the newest firmware you can run the fans at a certain %.. although i use the nicehash firmware smit made.. it has a newer cgminer and it seems more stable. you could use a fan controller.. on my s5s i use this fan as an exhaust fan, with the stock fan as intake. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00FKNAG7Y/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=1K8810E2OVSNX&coliid=I17YRW7XFX0N4R |

take a old 120mm x 38mm fan "thickness" rip it out without breaking the frame and mount it between the S5 intake fan and the antminer drops the noise 12db and the fan can be run at Full RPM if you like. you can do the same thing to the exhaust fan as well that's what I did. here is a pic its an old one Before I Bought my S7. look at the lower one on the left.  |

I don't have a spare fan but I put two of the stock S5 in series and they power on and run at 6V perfectly and the temps are good.
Much quieter and most likely the same temp and noise as those expensive Noctua / Silverstone fans.

With the controller in that position, yes! Otherwise you need the longer cables that J4bbrwock is selling
If the old c1 is dead, cables can be used for c2. But it will need a bit of work rearranging the pins and cutting the ends....

What temps are your S5 running at? That fan in the front of the C1, will it work properly on the S5 blades instead or will it run at full speed? |

You got the temps in the printscreens in the second link. Water was from the mains.... Water input was very cold and out still cold!
Fan from c1 works on s5, top rpm is lower, noise is also lower. About the variation in speed dunno. Maybe i do not understand your question
This was a test only for a client who wanted to see the miner working overclocked

Interesting. Looks like a candidate for 3d printing. Anyone know if there's an STL out there already? |

My seasonic X-850 decided to melt the wires on my s5.. this is actually the 2nd time its done this.. :/ im really not a fan of modular power supplies      i put an old corsair non modular 750 on it for now.. thankfully all it did was shut off.. the psu still works.. i guess ill throw it in my server and let it have an easy life till it dies.. if bitmain would have used 8 pin plugs instead of 6 pin plugs i dont think it would have had this issue |

Maybe the connectors or the gauge is too smalls. Are you using 1 cable per each 4 socket? I really dont see how this would happen unless that unit is faulty. |

I'm not saying that this happened here, but I will say that in general, people need to check their connections. When you go through connecting cables, slow down and really make sure they are inserted. Some folks slap 'em in and they don't make great contact. Do it twice if you need too, but do it slow. (That's what she said  ) |
Transaction fees go to the pools and the pools decide to pay them to the miners. Anything else, including off-chain solutions are stealing and not the way Bitcoin was intended to function.
Make the block size set by the pool. Pool = miners and they get the choice.
