Dogie is wrong that it is not cooler at least in my case.  It is cooler this way with 1 unit in a 12 by 12 by 7.5 very well insulated room.

That's not what I was saying. Given a homogeneous environment its not going to make any difference. If you take it to an extreme of a single 600W unit in a unit with a window open, of course the floor is going to be cooler.

My only issue is Dogie; he was helpful with the wiring diagram for using two PSUs with 3 miners; but more often then not he seems misinformed on a lot of different topics. I am not even 100% convinced he actually works for Bitmain or just self appointed himself.  But that's a whole other issue.

So because I suggested you should add a "this will void your warranty" disclaimer, you take it personally? Either way I'd rather you not like me then customers' ability to use their warranty be damaged, should they need it.

Bitmain has still made ZERO comment on the warranty - or lack there of. So I take your claim with a grain of salt - as it was written by you and only appears burried in some obscure forum on some wiki - where ever that is.

sadly this poped up on bitmains site  not sure when Smiley ..
https://support.bitmain.com/wikis/86

Thanks for bringing that to our attention, but I am afraid that can not be applied retrospectively to units bought before whatever date it appeared. Infact, despite bitmain having a winner of a machine in the S5, this addition to their wiki (which I am not yet sure whether it is referenced to be part of the conditions of purchase) without being dated is an underhand way of dealing with their customers. But hey, it is what it is .... a small print added to limit their exposure and shaft their customers.

and In a  US court it wouldn't hold, not enough to explain what it apply's to etc .
they are in the US now or have been  but took down that site i have talked to  Yoshi Goto over the phone at the site that was  out in Colorado i no longer have those email so i can't prove it  but he replaced one of my S3 one time no question asked and seemed to be really cool . they even crossed shipped it kind of .I don't know how they get a way with out giving the address unless that number was posted on a oversea site that lets them .i'm no lawyer but i can tell you when some laws are not being followed right but don't know how to file etc rater not to much involved these days .
