I've been up and running with the 5 S5s since about 2:30pm today. The SP20s won't arrive for a few days though. I still need to have power re-wired in that room for 208v, so right now, I have the S5s in the data room that we still have servers in. So far, I've been mining at a sustained 5.85 TH/s for the last 5.5h. They've mined 0.00387851 according to the BTC Guild dashboard. Although, the shifts aren't closed, so I'm expecting that to go up. I'll wait a day before I work out the actual calculations.
I'm hoping to have power run to the room I want everything running out of by Thursday. Then I'll run them both for a week and see what the results look like.
I DO like that the S5s are performing at/above the reported specs. Setup was a breeze. I expect the same from the SP20s. I've been looking at the Github repo for the Spondoolies software, and I like that it's seemingly more open. We'll likely build out a lot of custom dashboards and administration portals, so that's important to me too.
The quality on the S5 was a little suspect. One of the heatsinks was caved in...and it was clearly installed that way. The case around it was fine. Little things like that piss me off.
It is how they lowered price. These are not built as well as the s-3 were built.
Still in a farm setting where sound and noise are not a big deal they can run to freq 412 and hash at 1331 using 680-690 watts.
this is my 1 s-5 running with extra cooling in the form of extra fans >>> errors are 99.965 good and 0.035 bad.
