Re: [GUIDE] Strato's Antminer S5 Vertical Mounting Setup Guide - OC with Less Heat
Whenever you post your next resource, please make it exceptionally clear that overclocking will void a user's warranty.
I am not sure that is necessary as most mining rig owners know that OC'ing voids the warranty.
In any case, it is bitmain's responsibility to advise its customers about the terms of the warranty, and to my knowledge, I have never seen any official bitmain literature to that effect, bearing in mind that the so called overclocking frequencies ship as selectable options (on the S5 at least)!
Yeah, as we see above / below - someone with many, many S5s who is overclocking and suggesting others do the same didn't know.
Overclocking voids the warranty? Then why is it a drop down option in the control panel of your software which ships with the units. 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.
Yes it does. I can't really answer on behalf of the other questions as its not my rules.
I added an overclocking question to the wiki.

This is a more official quote if you will, there is a bigger quote but this is the best one I can find with search as it is.
Over Clocking will void your warranty on the unit, please be careful
