I am interested in this coin as well. The dynamic between gas and NEO is an interesting one and also a little complex. I like it. I hope the exchanges will distribute owners GAS as they have done with BCH mainly.

Received a C1 this week from Bitmain.  Opened up the case and see one of the screws that holds the heatsink to the side is missing.  Do the screw holes go into the waterblock internal liquid channel?  Meaning, if the screw hole is open, will liquid from the waterblock leak out the screw hole that has the missing screw?

No,waterblocks won't leak without screws on it.When we test it with air compressor,there isn't any screw on it.

Guys, i think you overdid it. it should have been an c2 with 4blades and 1bbb not 2*c2 Undecided
still thinking of buying 2 s5 and modifying them in 1 c2 and make an air cooled c1 with the rest parts
That's a good idea! Wink

Yesterday  I received the S5 Modified Kit from syscooling.

You can see pictures of the housing here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=914354.msg10371212#msg10371212

The bigger question is, why it was necessary to do so




Unfortunately, the upper cover is done incorrectly and corrected the error with disc cutter.
Oh,nobody send you emails to explain that?As you said,we designed five cases for first batch,but the size of top case are all incorrect,and we have to cut it by hand.Size has been corrected,and we received the correct cases now,but when you ordered they hadn't arrive,so we sent you that kit.Sorry about that.

Water-cooled S5 Modify Instruction
by
syscooling
on 06/02/2015, 07:00:01 UTC
Modify tools:
    1.Four air-cooled Antminer S5(One water-cooled S5 equals to four air-cooled S5).
    2.Syscooling S5 modified kit,including case,fans and fan covers,waterblocks,screws and so on.
    3. Electric soldering iron(to extend cables).
    4.Screw drivers,pliers,and so on.
    5.Silicone grease(spare).
    First,take down hash boards and controllers from air-cooled S5.If silicone grease on boards is not enough,daub silicone on it.Put heat conducting paste beside black chip.


    Next,screw board on the waterblock.Choose original screws as first choice,if disabled,use black screws we prepared for you.Attention:1.Direction.The side with screw holes of waterblock is bottom,to fasten waterblock on case.The side with PCIe port of hash board is top.2.After you tighten screws,you should observe the gap between board and waterblock,every screw should be tightened equally.


    Screw other boards as the same.


    Here I just modify 2 air-cooled S5 as an example.Next install controllers.Now hardware has been updated,1 controller could support 4 hash boards.But we know that some users’ hardware haven’t updated,so when we design the case,we prepared positions for four controllers.Normally one water-cooled S5 only need two controllers.


    Then cut and choose a suitable tubing to connect two waterblocks,and tighten with hose clamps.And screw waterblocks on bottom case.


    Install back case,and tighten with screw.


    Install front case as the same.


    Install fans and fan covers,case installation is finished.Next extend cables.One water-cooled S5 need 8 cables,you will need 2 original cables(default length,about 8cm),and 6 cables of 16cm,which need you to extend it.Cut off cables.


    Cut heat-shrinkable tube into 2cm,wear it on cables,and weld it with the cables we prepared for you.


    After welding,put heat-shrinkable tube on appropriate position,and fire it to make it shrink.This is extended cable.


    Connect controllers and boards with cables,and you could test it.Equip it with watercooling kits(1 water-cooled S5 is recommend 2 Syscooling SC-BC1 kits,and each radiator must be installed six fans),power it on with PSU,plug net wire into Enthernet port,and let it run to test whether all indexes are fine.


    If it is fine,install top case,and the whole installtion is finished.About power supply for watercooling kits,each controller has two 3pin port,and each SC-BC1 watercooling kit has fan wiring harness,fans of the miner and fan wiring harness could be plugged into controllers to get power.

Dogie support for this product has now expired. Other staff will now service your queries in this thread. I can still be found in my own thread.

Why is support expired if miner is still being sold?

Maybe Bitmain stopped paying Dogie to answer questions.

My guess is copper.  They have always been very careful to say to use coolant not water.  That and it looks a copper "PD360" on their site we got: http://www.syscooling.com/products/Radiators/54.html .   The two aluminum radiator's they show selling are much smaller then the one with kit.

I could be wrong if they used a specialty one for miners, but I'm highly guessing its their standard.

Yes, you have to assume its copper or there are copper components. In several points in the listings (all changed by now) there has been a mention of copper on both the radiator and the fittings [internal coating]. You can see within the chamber of the radiator that there is definitely some form of dark orange coating, which may be brass or copper. So tldr, be safe and assume there is copper and aluminium within the same loop.

Any luck finding out what the radiator is made out of?

See below. Suggesting its all aluminium, so the coatings we see must be brass [which is fine].

The radiator SC-BC1 watercooling kits uses is aluminum.PD360 radator is copper,only PD series radiator is copper.
You see coatings?Could you show me a picture?

Like the picture on your site, its golden in the threads and in the lower chambers. http://www.syscooling.com/products/Radiators/54.html. Looks exactly like my very early batch 1.

Threads looks brass in that pic. to me, also it appears thicker at 45mm (from specs. listed) compared to the one I got that looks closer to 25mm.

That's not the correct Radiator, this is the link to the kit:
http://shop.syscooling.com/goods.php?id=45

and it uses the AT360 radiator.
Right.Batch 2 uses 36S-8,with self-built tubing adapters(G1/4-8),decreases the risk of leaking.

Thickness of AT360 is 27mm.But truely I can't see coating in thread,it is aluminum and should be like gray.Would you mind taking a picture for me? Wink

Bought everything as a kit. I called the Colorado support facility and the guy said all he can do is have me ship my entire system over to them and they will find out what is wrong with it and fix, no matter what it is. So I lose a couple weeks mining, big deal, and have to pay to ship that and my cooling system to Colorado. Hey, at least their willing to help. What's BitmainWarranty going to do? They would have probably told me to do the same thing. Only thing that bothers me is having to pay shipping for an in warranty product. I'll remember that next time when wave of new hardware comes a along. Other companies provide you shipping labels.

WHAT IS OUR RADIATOR MADE OUT OF? THE ONE THAT CAME WITH THE KIT? ALUMINUM OR COPPER?

[BitmainWarranty is the Denver, Colorado centre, calling in is just a quicker way to contact them]. I think it is the best solution to return it now, as whatever stuff is growing in that loop will be all up inside those blocks as well. I'm here to see if we can help people remotely without having to ship stuff across a country / continent as then everyone loses out.

They usually do provide labels but I guess its a bit of a confusing situation for them - let me know after its all completed if you're still out of pocket and I'll try and get it sorted.

Can you link to the radiator's selling page on your site that was sent with batch one please?  With the 3 fan setup I just do not see a option on your site besides the PD (copper) option.

I guess this is the most expensive miner I ever had. Bought four of them, two with the syscooling set, two without. The two without are working without any problem.
The first one with a cooling set had a broken pump. It was replaced. And died today. The second pump lived for about a week and then started to show fissures, loosing cooling liquid and then died.

So after all, I bought two new pumps with a shop in Europe, lost money not only by losing time for mining, but also by replacing the pumps.
Sorry about that,you could kindly send emails to watercooling@ysun.net

Still confused. The kit comes with the PD360, which is copper. And you just said, "watercooling kits uses is aluminum".


It is AT360(batch 1) or 36S-8(batch 2),PD360 is much thicker.

Syscooling, at what pressure did you test the waterblocks for c1? psi, bar, kPa?

Need to know for my c1 & water boiler project!
0.3MPa.

Did you manage that with barb fittings still, or was that with compression fittings?
Sorry I don't know what is barb fitting or compression fitting Smiley.We test pumps and radiators with air compressor,put them in water partly or wholly to see whether there is bubble getting out,whole process is about 10 seconds.
