Your best bet would be to look at the main thread.

What is with everyone starting a new S9 thread lately every time they have a question and simply figure everyone will give them the answer? Lazyness?

Saw this in the main S9 board today.

I just unplug the bad boards and then it runs fine.  Out of the 12 S9's I have bought from Bitmain, 5 of them have needed repair.

They have never gotten over 72F.  I have 140 S7's and maybe 10 bad boards between them all.  Out of the 200+ S5's I had there were maybe 5 bad boards total and out of the 300+ S3's I had maybe 4 bad boards.

I really hope they fix the S9's.  The R4's seem to be running great.  I have had no problems with them.

So 7 bad boards out of 36 total S9 boards = 19.4% failure rate.  Ugh.

I just wanted to get a sense of what percentage of these units break down.

I had one running for exactly 7 days and 2 boards went out.
Under warranty, but Bitmain says to expect 3-4 weeks turnaround on repairs.
Basically losing 5 weeks of hashing at the peak of it's diminishing value.
