S5 firmware fan speed mods .....

I stumbled accross this topic https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=940250 where they had a mod for the S4, and thought about making a firmware mod for the S5, in the process, the person who made the original mod to the module controlling the S4 fan has come up with a mod for the S5. Here's the link to the message: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=940250.msg10327889#msg10327889

I have not tested the firmware as I received my S5 with the stock fan DOA (got in touch with bitmain and they want me to take videos of it and / or buy something from them before  ... blah blah ... for another day that one!). If anyone is willing to give the modded firmware, please give it a go and provide feedback. there are links on the messaage, but I'll reproduce them below too:

1. fan_6 - slower than stock - https://mega.co.nz/#!MVtHXBKC!VEymK0FxLpuXTl5ZpxnNxlQNKOsp15V0vRy18Vb7dPI
2. fan_3 - slower than fan_6 - https://mega.co.nz/#!JFNnQALR!3x501jLm1GyzUlDMZ4USWGmDHYCyZKSSiNp4UWRWUnM
3. stock firmware (also on bitmain site) - https://mega.co.nz/#!1ENCRYIb!pbSf4wXt4nwX_0IYTH1LRh0mZ9_Gw3KgbCel8zyhOjo

If you try the firmware, please provide feedback either here or on the thread linked above to lanfeusst. This mod can also be the pilot for a permanent mod for updating cgminer et al!
