Hi all,
here some pictures of antminer S5+ , reviews will be coming soon from
ITOP CorpNeeds more pci-e connectors...So you tape 3 S5s together and call it a new machine? Color me unimpressed. Sidehack got much better efficiency out of these chips; Bitmain isn't even trying.
I'm not sure how you came to that conclusion, the small amount of power savings from running the chip slower doesn't cover the overhead loss by running a 1 chip board.
Sidehack's is ~16.5GH for 1 chip for 1.3A = ~6.5W.
S5+ is 7700GH for 432 chips for 3436W. Removing controller and fans = ~3310W. Removing "at the wall" = 2970W.
sidehack = 16.5GH/chip, 0.39W/GH
S5+ = 17.8GH/chip, 0.39W/GH
