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

Never had this happen to me with any EVGA PSU. 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.

yeah 1 wire per.. perhaps the s5 is using more power then it should, but the first time the wire melted it was on a s3, at that time i was using 1 wire per blade.

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 )

it could be but this psu has been plugged into this s5 pretty much untouched since april.

If you plugged 6 there should not be any problem, even low quality connectors should be fine, since 125 watts per is not much. Maybe the unit does not have over volt protection. *Shrug*

yeah who knows.. its a seasonic.. supposed to be one of the top of the line power supplies..

anyway, i put it in my webserver thats running the ip camera network.
it has an easy life now.. it only has to power 1 hard drive and an old amd x2 cpu that is 45w..

When used properly, it is actually hard to wreck one of these power supplies. They have a great 5 year warranty and I wish more electronics were built like these.

And I would not say all modular are bad I have some "high" quality modular, which really seasonic should be.  But I like it allows me to plug in cables I need and others I leave in the box no need to have mess of cables hanging around.

But in all reality server PSU's have taken over on a lot of mining.   I'm not sure when I will need another PSU again but likely will be server when I do.

Use this one. This is the setup I use because it has a variable dc output which helps in HW errors and overclocking just don't go past 13vdc. or if you do its your own fault don't blame me for it.

You Can Get the wires here... this is the same place I got them you will need 3 sets they come 4 or more.

http://www.gigampz.com/store/p7/6-Pin_PCIe_to_Bare_Wire_Cable,_24_Inches_(4-pack).html

just wire yellow to V+ and black to V- on the PSU and that's it. then wire the AC power cord to the input of PSU "makes sure its correct there is color codes for every country.

I use the RSP-1500-12 for the S7 and the RSP-750-12 on the S5 and I like the variable output dc option really helps.

thank you phil for putting me on to these they work great.

I have several s5 antminer with a problem

if you turn off and on, they reset to factory alone.

other with harware version 0.0.0.0 and 0 hashrate

and other with only 1 hashboard mining... the other hashboard is off...

What i have to do sometimes for my clients!

Double s5 on c1 cooling/case, call it c2!

City water/mains water cooled! actually shower water )

Pics speak for themselves!

I actually prefer immersion cooling. Sticking your miners in a clean fish tank, wiring it all up, then filling the tank with mineral oil. Then pumping that oil to a cooling method, a simple pump and radiator with a fan, pumping the mineral oil through a water cooled heat exchanger, or one of these days, I'll try GeoThermal cooling to go along with my solar and wind power.

I finally decided to upgrade my S3+ to an S5 because I found one used for about what I paid for my S3+ used.  I only run 1 machine at home due to electricity costs, and new hardware is just too expensive for me to justify buying for a hobby.

Question: I've scanned through several threads but cannot find a simple, definitive answer to "the best" fan(s) to use.  I want it to be quieter than the 70db stock fan, but I want it to stay cool, too (about 25*C ambient).  Could anyone recommend me a fan or push/pull fan combo to use?  Thanks.

If noise is not a BIG issue, then try these.http://www.centrix-intl.com/details.asp?Parent2ID=1&productid=13257&gclid=Cj0KEQiAxrW2BRCFidKbqKyq1YEBEiQAnMDWxqwAlFvsRE32V0jYyad3sjzCFVa1jWH8zmjNMEpnlRsaAi1Z8P8HAQ
I use this on my single S5 and it's comparable to the S7 fan. Very similar design but EXTREMEMEMELY good cooling. Centrix makes really good fans, generally. Great for the price and a really high rpm PWM fan for the price. To compare, most pwms at 20$ only go up to ~2000. This goes to 4500.

Does anyone want a S5? My electric costs are about equal to earnings, making it hard to continue...
Whats it worth?

Anywhere from 75$ to 200$ i guess? Its hard to say, people arent even buying one well priced because the difficulty went so up. I'd probably buy one if really cheap, but would also sell one in the upper end.

if you are in usa check craigslist..
in my home town they are still going for over 400$

Put your S3 fans in your S5, it will be quieter

People stopped buying miners and are buying GPUs instead.

Is there a way to keep the ATX power supply running after AC power is restored?
I have a Raidmax 1000w ATX PSU. I have done the paper clip mod, but after a power failure i have to remove the clip and put it back.
My Zapper Gold 750w is using a paper clip too and is not phased by power interruptions.
   

[usao]

My SeaSonic start's right up after power restore.
I actually use the breaker box to power-off/on my S5's, and have had no issues over the past year.
I power-down during the high-rate price time, and back on when the rate goes back down.

I used a pair of Noctua iPPC 3000rpm pwm fans in push/pull.  I set the fan control at 80% (with slight OC for extra hash goodness) and it kept @60c or lower.  MUCH quieter than the stock fan, but that's not saying much, is it??

Not really stock is hot and loud.  That is just what a stock S5 is, for better or worse.   

Even the best modded S5 I still don't think will touch under clocked Avalon 4.1.  That is the most quiet modern miner I think out there.   And I have played with a lot of different miners.  (No not including like stick miners in this, just big full size miners).

If you're willing to work out a price, I'll gladly buy it off of you. PM me if you're still selling.

Your Raidmax is a piece of junk psu, in fact it has no right to call itself a psu. I wouldn't put that sh*t in any of my computer builds.
