As I understand, the S5 is on the order of 40 to 50% more efficient than the S3. The S3 is rated at around 360W at the wall and the S5 around 590W at the wall. Expect a 2 to 4% greater efficiency with Gold Vs Bronze supply.
Thanks for reply
I want to know exact unit to calculate electric bill. 1 unit = 1000 watts so how much time it will take for antminer s5/s3 to reach 1 unit of electricity with normal smps.
An example: My electricity cost is 14.5 cents per KWH (KiloWattHour). To run an S5 at 350MHz for one day costs me approximately (0.145USD)*(590W)*(24hours)/1KWH = 2.0532USD per S5 per day. I'd probably round it to 2 USD/day.
[In words]
A unit's power consumption in KW * hours it runs for (ie 24 for a day) = KWH of electricity used. KWH * price per KWH = price per day.
Where I live I am not legallt allowed to do wiring and, if caught, it could void my house insurance. Chance to get caught = zero unless I fuck up wiring and investigators discover that as source of a fire. I just pay the electrician and be done with it. I had a 20 AMP 120V put in 1 week ago for $100.
That is exactly the right approach, it doesn't even come close to risking all to save a few $ upfront. Even if you think you can do it youself, you can't issue yourself the right paperwork and probably aren't legally qualified.
All i was saying was if you can do it your self and know you can, not think you can . why not save that few bucks. but by all means make sure what you do is covered . if you don't know any one that can then pay to have it done but be careful there to , don't trust them either idc how many permits they have or even the insurance. Make sure even the ones your paying to do it, are doing it right. trust me, i just went thu being charged for some work in my basement and was over charged for work i found out after the fact should have had been inspected by the state they should have got permits to do over and above what they had permits for.
but DIY if you know how because most of them doing it for a living will over charge you they are out to make a buck off you and any one they can and most will.
I agree keep is safe and legal.
