NICEHASH S5 FIRMWARE--

The mining site NiceHash "www.nicehash.com" has a firmware for the S5 that includes an upgrade to CGminer 4.9 with extranonce control.  I have downloaded it, but I have not flashed it.  I do not know what version of Antminer S5 firmware the CGminer mod is coupled with.  Here is the link:

https://www.nicehash.com/download/AntMiner-S5-SD-firmware_cgminer_4.9.0_nicehash_and_performance_graph.tar.gz

Has anyone tried this firmware?  It is packaged in an archive, just like the official updates.  I'd like to know if anyone has used it, and the results.     

Thanks for any information or opinions!       --scryptr

I have tried it but it didn't work right for me on some sites that don't use #xnsub it actually slows my miner . i use one his other ones that works great but has no #xnsub support.

Go to System - Overview and look at File System Version & cgminer Version.

1300~ seem like a pretty normal hashrate for a S5 that would be clocked at 400 mhz~ Are you sure you dont just have 2 miners with the same worker name, so the graph report 2-3THs?

Because your miner status show very normal hashrate, even a bit low. At best, a pool glitch. Or a friend messing with you.
