Re: [GUIDE] Strato's Antminer S5 Vertical Mounting Setup Guide - OC with Less Heat
Is that your bed next to an SP20 & a S5? Do you sleep with industrial ear muffs strapped to your head? 
That is dedication. Definitely could keep a eye on it that way though. I personally keep them out of bedrooms
You stop being able to hear it after a while, its surprising what level of noise can become the baseline. Its also a lot easier because miner noise is perfectly level.
improving your mining power by up to 15% by simply running an additional script and light weight software package
That's a pretty bold claim right there. So a stock S5 will get 1328Gh by a script?
Overclocked yes. Im running poolside averages of 1280-1320ish on the units.
Whenever you post your next resource, please make it exceptionally clear that overclocking will void a user's warranty.
Overclocking voids the warranty? Then why is it a drop down option in the control panel of your software which ships with the units.
Secondly; why is it not listed on that submenu (Advanced) as WARNING saying that clocking above 350 will void ones warranty.
Third, if I did a hard reset - how would you know.
Forth, if you were able to somehow read the data off the miner and know that it was overclocked; what if I were to just put the miner on the grill for 20 or 30 minutes and burn it up and claim malfunction.
I'm not trying to start a fight here. But I find that it's ridiculous to put an option to set a frequency higher than 350 with a simple dropdown menu - in your own software - and there be no warning whatsoever - and that BM would deny a warranty claim.
Thats like Sony saying sorry your warranty is void on your new Sound System - you turned up the volume past 50.
Or a car company saying sorry; your warranty is void you drove it above 75 miles per hour.
If the unit can't take it - the don't offer it. And if you do offer it - make it clear within the software (simple to do) that clocking higher than X is "At your own risk" and will void the warranty.
