Chances are he needs to do some of the standard things to see if he can get other blade back up and running.

I saw a ton of HW errors and found underclocking would actually increase the hash rate and reduce the errors. I switched to a different PSU and the problem went away.

The S5 is the first mainstream miner [S3++ the very first] that is susceptible to ~12V problems which could be anywhere from 11.4 to 12.6V. Non string miners take ~12V and don't care due to their voltage regulation, where as new gen string miners have to take ~12V and make do with it.

HI thank you for this useful post. Maybe my question has been asked already, if so I'm sorry about that, and please point me to the answer. I would like to know whether is there a way to configure more than 1 miner at the same time, and if so how. Thank you

Hello,
First of all, thanks for all the info you guys provided in this thread. Very helpful.
What I would like to know is what I might require for the setup of, let's say, 50 Antminer S5 besides the miners themselves and the power supplies.

Multiminer sounds what you need. Hello,

If you're keeping them remotely then a cheap windows based laptop to put on the same network with teamviewer. Apart from that, ethernet cables, mains power cables, PDUs potentially, ethernet switches.

I'm in Italy atm and these guys are infamous for not-so-good ISPs.

Lower ping <100ms helps a tiny amount, but mining is still more than possible on even a phone connection.

Hi, I'm not sure if this is the right thread but I'm having trouble getting Bitmain to respond to my S5 support tickets. I bought 34 S5's in mid-July and have had trouble with 4 of them. 1) A tantalum capacitor on one of them blew up, and both boards on the unit appear to be non-functioning, not just the one with the bad capacitor. 2) On a different unit, the fan quit. I used the fan from #1 to replace it. No biggie. 3) Ticket $ 3140: One unit purchased at the end of Batch 5, and sold as a new one, has one bad board with only 11 working chips. I told them I tested a different PSU but it didn't help. Bitmain suggested I try re-applying the thermal paste, which I did with no difference. Then they suggested I use at least a 750W PSU instead of a 600W, which I don't understand how they got the idea I am using a 600W PSU when I am using 1 of their 1600W PSUs to power two S5's. (Some poor soul must have cut himself on the heat sink blades as there was blood on the case when it arrived. Eeeew!) 4) Controller on one was no longer responding, so I replaced it with the controller from #1 also. It is working OK. I wouldn't have done all this except that Bitmain's response to take #3 apart and try and fix it myself kind of shook my confidence that they would do anything at all. However, I took 4 problems and turned them into just 1 and 1/2 I sent them Ticket #3277 to explain the issues. But as I see it, Bitmain owes me 1 working S5 and 1 working S5 board. (Or I could run it as an S5- Hm.) As they seem to be sold out of S5s, I'd take a refund or a 2.7 BTC coupon on the new S7 (estimated) Anything else I can do? Thanks!

Proper would be the official S5 thread. Anymore before you do anything you need to get permission I think they have cracked down. Did any of the purchases come during the used batch? If so I could see that being a problem as they might look at order dates and I believe it had 30 day's warranty so it could be over. Also did you buy direct from Bitmain? But post in official S5 thread, PM official account, send email. The ticket should do it, but the other options are there. But ticket should work assuming you meet warranty requirements.

4) Controller on one was no longer responding
I received my S5 this week from Bitmain, hashing good for couples of day then stop responding. Can't get an IP out of my controller. I reset it, boot it via SD card, nothing work. Ethernet led blinks but didn't show-up any IP. Ticket open, waiting Bitmain response on that. Edit : I find my problem, hub module giving me some trouble... reset and fixed. My bad. ..

Look into pools such as this: http://solo.ckpool.org/ With it everything is already setup you just point miner to an address. Can I ask how do you have 45 T. Care to share pictures would love to see it?

With only 45TH it'd take on average 70 days to find a block with no difficulty increases. That means there's a reasonable chance you will never find a block with your equipment - is that really worth the gamble?

Has anyone got the Miner Link to work on their S5's What's the trick? on my two units, selecting on, filling in my registered email address and clicking the save & apply only makes it think for a few seconds and then it goes back to the off state what is odd though, for the miner link server, it lists " www.minerlink.com" ... no specific port or sub page. Is this correct? I'm using the very latest update with the fan control

Can anyone recommend a pair of quieter fans please?
Been looking at high performance Corsair 120mm will they do the job?
