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

[MyRig]

Wow,

Thank you for paying detailed attention to our product photos!!!

Also, the S5 has 15 steps in the chain (30 chips) so 9V would drop to an even 0.6V per node.

There's 14 steps not 15. 0.64v at 9v.

I don't know if the S5 uses isolated or level-shifted comms, or some daisychain implementation like the Bitfury chips did. Haven't scrutinized the PCB photos enough yet to make an educated guess.

If you look at the photos of the back there's level shifting.

Hard to tell from the pictures but according to multiple quotes by Bitmain in this thread, there are 30 chips per board.  15 steps, as you'll see if you look more closely (bottom left hiding in the shadows).

Will those who opted for L1 refunds in full bitcoin receive them soon? Will place an order if I get the refund.

sold out allready
glad I got my order in!

Today I bought 12 pieces Antminer S5

I trust them today more than SP20 , especially after seeing this picture. Because they have  4  PCI-E slot, For 600W.
SP20 has 4  PCI-E slot for 1200W (Max)

I have 3 x SP20 and
6pc SP20 purchased by December 17, to get my hands probably 29.12

I also have a 5pc KNC Neptune, with no burnt PCI-E slot.


The rest are all Bitmaintech production. (37x S3, 6x C1, 2x S4 )

It would be seen that picture before, then I would not have ordered more SP20.

Today I bought 12 pieces Antminer S5

When I went to sleep they were "Up Coming" and when i woke up they were "Sold Out".

They are a nice little step up in efficiency but I didn't expect them to go so fast.

Tupsu, you seem to have a requirement to post only half of the story across many threads. The problem was caused by user error, as you can see here:

1.all 288w but only use 230~270w report from ASIC stats
2.no (but cable that of the picture is)
3.I cant tell, maybe 10AWG or 9AWG
4.32C report from another working SP20

i don't wanna go RMA because i think the problem is on my plugs, if you give me a new one that is really not fair to you, i just want to keep this miner cover in warranty after i replaced the socket myself.

2 is many treads?
I posted here, and  to your personal  S5 topic
I do not see user error.

you can see the problem. the user put the wrong cables.

only see the wrong design from the very first SP20 .  There should be a 8x PCI-E.

Not my thread, I'll be quick. You can continue in our thread.
The design is correct, each Molex connector is rated up to 288 Watt. We've tested much higher. Note that it's PSU output rating, not "at the wall".
We offered the customer RMA freely to investigate, he refuses out of " fairness", since he belives the problem is with his cables.
It's the first and only reported incident.

true. maxing out power rating for the socket is very wrong decision

Please continue SP20 related technical discussions in our thread.
The manufacture takes 20% margines over the 288 Watt rating.

Nope, not sold out.
Let me put it to you: BMT are unsure about the stability of the S5 and they have only sold a few to test RMA requests.

I guess we'll just have to wait and see if they can beat SP-Tech 1 (one) voluntary RMA in Thousands...

dude, you are really working hard here, I hope you get your free sample of sp20.

I don't accept free units, all of my miners are paid for. thanks for your concern.

then you are really stupid if you are doing it for free.

WHO THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU ARE TO ADDRESS ME IN SUCH A MANNER?

What power supply will be good for this? No info on BMT about how many Ampers must go in PCIe line. And miner needs 590W ? So we need about 700W PSU..

[Rabinovitch]

Since most of good PSUs are able to keep the efficiency factor high enough at load level less than 80% (IMHO) - so here is the formula for you to  roughly calculate necessary wattage of PSU. 590/0.8=737 Wt. So I would choose 700-750 Wt PSU for S5. 800+ Wt for overclocking.

As I read last several days in PSU reviews, often 12V lines are "virtual" - at hardware level there is ONE 12V line. ) But nevertheless the common recommendation is to choose PSU with single 12V line.

And after all above - look at the price and at the warranty period.

damn Batch 1 sold out already.... I shouldn't have gone to sleep.

Whats the word on Batch 2
