I had a question that i havent seen others ask....
I ordered 3x s5's from u guys from batch 2 because batch 1 sold out while i was asleep but when i ordered we were promised quiet and cool miners and that they can handle a voltage down to 9v to provide .2w per gh/s.
Who promised you quiet and the .2X per GHs. Was it from a third party and not Bitmain?
I just find it hard to believe they would promise .2X per GHs out of a S5.
lol really?? did u even read my whole post?? if u had read it u would know but let me copy and paste the info for you provided BY BITMAIN NOT BY A THIRD PARTY:
"Notes
1. Power consumption figures vary with your PSU’s efficiency, the ambient operating temperature and the accuracy of the power meter.
2. PSU: A power supply unit is not included, and you will need to provide an ATX PSU. There are 4 PCI-e connectors for +12V DC input and all four are required. Do not connect more than one PSU to the same hashing board.
3. 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. "
if you look at the thread announcing the s5 u will see they crossed it out but its still there and was there for more then half the batches they sold already. hell bitmain still says this miner is cool and quiet so did u just reply because u saw this thread at the top of the list?? next time dont try makin me sound like idk what i paid for.....if u cross reffed my claims u would have seen exactly what im talking about.
first email reply from bitmain (mar 30th):
"Hi,
for S5, Input voltage should not be less than 12.00V, since it is based on serial power solution and there is no DC/DC inside the miner. Higher input voltage will cause higher mining efficiency.
And it cannot work well with 9V or 10V."
second email reply from bitmain (mar 30th):
"sHi,
Sorry for the inconvenience.
After double checking, we confirm the S5 cannot work well with 9V, so we crossed out this description."
third email reply from bitmain (mar 31st and once i replied they went dead silent refusing the resolve this situation):
"Hi,
We have correct it immediate after we get the info, it has been a long time now.
Once the miner can work well with 12V, no need to worry about it.
Thanks."
they didnt fix it immediately and they didnt say it "might" work with lower voltages but we arent sure.....they made a claim based on zero testing it seems which they should provide compensation for. not only to me but to every other person that ordered up until they made the change which wasnt "right after" like the rep said. releasing products using false and untested claims isnt legal and is morally wrong!
