ANTMINER S5: 1155GH(+OverClock Potential), In Stock $0.319/GH & 0.51W/GH

[MarkAz]

I've built a couple laser cut acrylic enclosure for my S5, some that use the frame as a base, some that don't.  I was planning on posting some pictures in a week or so when I'd done more testing with ducting... I'm also doing full heat analysis with a thermal camera, not relying on the temps reported by the board, that are next to useless.  So far my best design screws in on the bottom and sides (fully enclosing them) and then drops in over the the top, basically resting on top of the PCB, with a cutout section for the Beaglebone.  The Push fan configuration is actually less efficient in this situation - so I switched to pull which works great.  Not much gain for push/pull, so didn't bother.  Right now I'm using 5.6mm acrylic (I can easily get it at Lowes, and they'll cut it to my laser cutters max size for me), but I think 2mm will work as well and be cheaper.  Once I get everything nailed down, I'll probably just figure out my yield and go to TapPlastics or one of the larger places that has a greater selection.

On the ducting side I originally tried 4" aluminum flex duct, but there is too much resistance so I've order parts to test with 6" duct (5" is too hard to source generally speaking).  For the 4" I found a great flange that I liked, but on 6" it's more difficult, so I'm opting for a PVC toilet connector, which I will glue to the acrylic - and I think this will also be less work at the same time.

All in all the enclosure path is the way to go - I'm going to redo all of my S5's to use the cases, plus I think the S5 looks quite a bit better when in acrylic.

Anyone who is impatient and wants to see what it looks like can PM me their email and I'll shoot over some images - then they can also confirm that I actually did it.

This is a huge high!  Wondering if it the new KNC or something else.

well 2 silverstone fhp-141's in a push/pull config isnt enough. damn thing is still hot. not as loud though. not enough airflow.   have to underclock to 325 just to get around 60c

For those interesting in my custom S5 enclosure, I started a thread here with pictures:

you dont have them in quiet mode do you?

try running them off molex so they hit full speed..

the problem with that fan is i think a lot of air will be sent to the outside of the boards.. not down the center like you want.

i can confirm the temp problems without internet.
just today my internet went down for about 30 minutes..

they started beeping as usual when it detects no internet and all the fans turned off. i pretty much ignored it and went on doing what i was doing.
after a few minutes i noticed the s5 beep turned into a solid tone.. ive never heard that before.

i went to check it and when i touched the heat sink and it was so hot i couldn't put my finger on it. the fans were not spinning very fast and really hot air was coming out the back. i instantly shut it down.

the internet is back on again, it seems to be working ok.. today was the final day of my 90 day warranty.. i hope i dont have any problems because of this.

this is a problem and a potential fire hazard.. had i not been home who knows what would have happened.

i went and put the fan on a molex adapter.. its not ideal since its now at full speed.. but if the internet shuts off again the fan wont stop.

its still working.. i think i got it turned off in time before it damaged itself.
i really dont want to pay to ship it to them, wait weeks, and get mine back because they cant find anything wrong with it.

nice I hope it's fixed, when ever I leave home, i turn off all my S5 .

i ended up just pulling the blue wire on the fan for now.. i can always put it back in when its fixed.

Shocked we haven't heard of burnt up miners because of this. I was the first one to report/post about this issue many pages back and it still being discussed. Since I put all my miners on the "always on" molex connections I don't need to worry about any overheating again. I also removed stock fans and use two Noctura Industrial fans which do keep temps in check, even in this 95 degree temps in NJ. Worth the extra money. Those fans have a 6 year warranty and have been superb from day one. They will outlast the miners and then I'll use them in a couple computer builds. All PWM too.

Really? This issue was reported maybe 2 months ago by me. I don't think there will be an update.

They probably wait for 90-day warranty period to end. We will see a lot of burnt S5 on ebay soon. I will remove 4th pin from S5 fan to keep it running at full speed. Official reply is that they're working on the issue.

[Rabinovitch]

A week ago my second S5 arrived. Exactly the same as any other S5. But, when we turn it around and remove the plastic side panels we uncover this:



Very cool, perfectly sized heatsinks outside of the hashboard.

Can someone please tell me where can I order such a heatsinks? Or probably some other heatsinks with 12x8 mm base and 10-19 mm fins?
