Got myself AntMiner S5 a month ago. I was surprised how bad cooling solution it has. Loud fan, bad heatsink design and a lot of air not even going through the heatsinks. After a month of playing with it and some 3D printing this is what my small rig currently looks like (just ordered the second S5):

I'm keeping it on the terrace, rain can't reach it and there's plenty of fresh air for the miner to keep it cool. I've put it on the PSU because I noticed it absorbs some vibrations which you could otherwise hear in the room nearby during the night.
It's hashing 1.35-1.4Th/s (clocked at 425MHz), temps of the miner are about 42°C higher than ambient while hashing at that rate. 34°C higher than ambient at default clock. Which means I don't need to fear of hot summer anymore. Grin

Hi Vorta,

Very nice setup. I like what you have going here...

Do you have the fan on the bottom pulling air up from underneath into the rig and the fan on top pulling air out of the top?

Obviously he has. That's the whole idea.

We can tell that the fan's are pushing opposite way's if you look at wiring. they are working in push pull it would appear letting hot air rise.

very nice, but are you not worried about humidity when it rains?
