My S5 is mining away at a little over 1.1THs on default settings at my pool https://www.kano.is/ working fine Best pool Ignore those dogie was paid to post 600W at the wall with a Seasonic 1200W Platinum (240V)

The efficiency about 94%. So the load is about 564 watt on 12V rail. If using 600 watt psu, that's 93% load. Yes, it's will work, but too much strain on psu.

Heh, I posted this in the wrong thread when I read the question without realising it wasn't the S5 thread I repost it here for those who want to know: The cgminer config file is: /config/cgminer.confFYI - the S5 uses a BBB like the S2 so it looks the same when you ssh in (root/admin) So the editable area that survives a reflash and a reboot is /config/The startup init is /etc/init.d/cgminer.shWhen you ssh in, if you wish to watch cgminer: TERM=xterm screen -r

The efficiency about 94%. So the load is about 564 watt on 12V rail. If using 600 watt psu, that's 93% load. Yes, it's will work, but too much strain on psu. Load percent = wall * efficiency [0 to 1] / capacity So you actually have 2 unknown variables as load percent varies on efficiency and vice versa. Had to read 6 reviews to find someone who actually characterised it at 240V, as Seasonic don't publish their own graphs. We can estimate from the graph that eff is going to be about 0.935 over our entire range, so lets go with that. Load percent = wall * efficiency [0 to 1] / capacity Load percent = 600 * 0.935 / 1200 Load percent = 47% = 560W = same as yours. 560W is still fine on a 600W PSU as most good brands hold 10% 24/7 capacity in reserve on top of their ratings. Ie the CX750M will do 825W, the RM1000 1100W as long as you're not running in a 40C [50C for RM1000] ambient. Even those that don't rate with a 10% reserve, 560 on 600W is still acceptable for a good brand.

Trialing some new formatting tweaks on this guide. Feedback is appreciated.
1) Section colors changed to more eye friendly ones 2) Line breaks changed to width limited images to prevent them filling the entire page width 3) Code boxes enclosed to prevent them filling the entire page width 4) Page will now display in full at ~1350px width. Can't get it down to 1280 due to too much padding in the forum code. Approximately 24% of users will need to zoom out very slightly.

Hello there, I'm from Russia and have ordered 1 x ANTMINER S5 BATCH 4. Now I need some advice from you ... I have a new out of the box PSU Fractal Design NEWTON R3 80PLUS® Platinum http://www.fractal-design.com/home/product/power-supplies/newton/newton-r3-600w and I'll going in anyway to connect it to S5. Which are the potential minuses I'll get if use the PSU NEWTON R3 with Antminer S5? Please list all if it possible. Thanks. This might help you https://www.facebook.com/Bitmaintech.Antminer : face book and on bit mains site under batch 3 it says somerthing aobut what you asking so that PSU should be fine if your not worried about speeds . When better power efficiency is needed in the future due to higher network difficulties, you may want to buy some special PSUs 9V DC with more than 10A output, which will allow you to have a 0.2J/GH mining efficiency, but at lower hashing speed. but they are right you will need a higher PSU if you plan to over clock i used that as a example nothing more. just to make a point that it should be ok under clocked by what the tech's say on bit mains site i think i need to stress that and what others say here before some one take what i said in the wrong light. I have Six of batch 4 coming over the next 7 weeks or sooner two this week and two more the next week then two more maybe three weeks later. selling stuff on E bay .

According to the video on face book with the CEO of bit main the ^ should power two S5 with no issues. the ones i linked on amazon I got deals on as used but were really new and if you know how to you can use the 6 or 7 year warr they come with no question asked if you have to . but right now i can't say i would recommend any thing, waiting for my S5 to come.
Yoshi is not the CEO of Bitmain, its just labelled wrong He's very very important in the US though.

The S1 and S3 had a setting in one of the config files where you could set a goal temp for the fans. Any idea where the S5 might store that setting? I figure if I can raise the goal temp a bit, I can make them a smidge quieter.

Anybody know - would an S5 run properly if you plugged another fan and two more cards in to it (provided you powered the two additional cards with a sufficient PSU)?
Because the situation is that one of my two S5s came DOA - the top PCB is defective and I'm waiting for a replacement. Worth the risk of plugging the two cards on the broken miner into my working S5?

I wouldn't try it, those cables are also mightly short. By DOA, what do you mean? We can probably get it going again.

hi Dogie, thanks again for your great post. one question, is there some way to implement load balancing? thanks again for your time and considerate reply.

hi Dogie, thanks again for your great post. one question, is there some way to implement load balancing? thanks again for your time and considerate reply.
1) SSH to S5, Login root/admin 2) Type "screen -r". Wait for all the messages to go through. 3) Type "P" to enter Pool Management. 4) Type "C" for Change Management Strategy. 5) Select one of the following: "0"-Failover(default), "1"-Round Robin, "2"-Rotate, "3"-Load Balance, "4"-Balance. - Load balance requires quotas to be setup first (via "Q"). Balance uses equal share across configured pools. Read the cgminer readme files for more detail. 6) Press Enter key to exit Pool Management menu. Should now be back at main cgminer menu. 7) Exit screen session by issuing "Ctrl-A", "Ctrl-D". (Hold down Ctrl key, press "a/A", then "d/D". 8 ) Now back at shell prompt. Modified from MissouriMiner's S4 instructions

I don't, sorry. Thanks. I managed to quiet it down by just swapping out the fan for two b-Gear 120mm fans in a push-pull configuration. Runs at about 71C in a 75F ambient, but at least it keeps the wife happy.

I wouldn't try it, those cables are also mightly short. By DOA, what do you mean? We can probably get it going again. DOA = Dead On Arrival It's that top chip that you plug the ethernet into. Of the two miners, one works and one doesn't. When the broken chip is being used, the fan doesn't run, it makes little to no noise, and I cannot find it online using my router. But when I remove the "broken" chip and then replace it with the "working" chip from the other miner, it works fine. That's the best I think I can describe the issue (I tried pressing that button to restore it to factory settings, but nothing...) I am emailing with Yoshi and he's been helpful. He and the team have been providing suggestions, but I either am lacking some technical knowledge or it's beyond immediate repair. I've got an RMA going and sent them the broken chip to have it fixed or replaced. But if you have any ideas as to what it might have been, I'd be curious to hear as I spent a lot of time troubleshooting

Can you access the configuration page? etc What is the "top chip" you mean here? Chip is usually refer to single ic or asic.

If the fan wasn't spinning @ 100% it suggests something electrically dead.
