Thank you! I would have powered it up but UPS knocked on the door just the very second we were leaving, and my wife has spa treatment (she's in there now) I have a massage at 12GMT, but it's not my sort of thing.. i may just get a beer and massage my throat Glad you received it!! Wish you let it hash before you left to the hotel, so it could made you BTC while you sleep My s5 arrived this morning just as i was going out (wife and i at hotel for a couple of days) so i haven't had chance to unpack the box yet. I'll do as full a review as i can and set up some pictures for all your viewing pleasure when i get home on 31st. Thanks Bitmain!

I am sitting typing this and watching sons of anarchy on netflix. the miner is on the truck. If I am lucky the show ends in 90 minutes and the miner comes right after it.

Just curious how many S5's you guys are running at home. I miss mining- sold my S3's after 2 months. The difficulty to power cost just seemed too far off. Since you can just buy btc now for cheap. But dammit I miss running my machines.

what does power cost you? at 15 cents a k-watt or more and there is no good choice

Hello Bitmain: - Do I get any prizes for having the first dud unit?: Only one board hashing - the one that is showing the temp, nothing from the other board that shows zero. I've checked all connections, factory reset, reboots, all the usual stuff - no joy...... EDIT: It did work for the first 10 minutes though.......

^^ I hope this is not a sign to come. Please advise if you find a fix for the failed board... its odd because it appears that the chips are live as indicated by the "o"' instead of seeing ---- or xxx.

I've checked all connections, factory reset, reboots, all the usual stuff - no joy...... EDIT: It did work for the first 10 minutes though....... It could be an issue of one hashing board not receiving enough power. Are you using split or single rails design PSU? Is it capable of providing the power the S5 demands for hashing at 1+ TH/s speeds? If split rail, some rails are stronger than other. Did you try swapping PCI-E cables to the other sides?

1 PSU with 1 rail of 12v line connected to 1 side and another rail connected to the other side? Please make sure, there is no cross over on PSU Line, between 1 side of the hash PCB and the other side. Hope that is the cause... such is our luck....

Tested the PSU - it's an OCZ 850W Gold & I'm using 4 x pcie connectors. It is now running 2 x OC'd S3's without a hitch........ EDIT: Sorry, I meant UC'd S3's.......force of habit

Watch the heat of those cables and connectors. With overclocking and only using two cables per miner, the cables will most likely overheat and the plugs will melt.

Im sorry to hear this... lets see if we can figure out if it is a dud. It is embarrassing the demo unit arrived half dead. || || ================================================ PCI-E Rail 1 PCI-E rail 1 PCI-E rail 2 PCI-E rail 2 =============================================== || || patman is a long time miner and he knows how to connect the PSU. Thats being said, lets try to find if fault is else where. Hope it is something very simple Tested the PSU - it's an OCZ 850W Gold & I'm using 4 x pcie connectors. It is now running 2 x OC'd S3's without a hitch........
