@taserz: today i want to try one of my S9's to flash to your modded fw and try to squeeze ot 16-17Th with the stock psu.
Can you tell me what temperatures do with this mod, as there is not that much info about it. Will the miner work more efficient and temps stay roughly equal, or will they significantly rise?
I assume the latter, as the extra power should go somewhere...?  Smiley

Thanks.



Edit:

So, i installed (actually my son did, but hey...) the firmware, and it seems to work.
I put it onto 2 of my miners: one with one defective hashboard, and one that is on my top drawer and one of the coolest miners at 77 celcius as we speak.
The 2-boarder indeed increased quite some at 10.7Th stable@800 and 825Mhz. When set to 850, it drops to 10.3TH. Temp rises, but not able to compare.
The other has been set to 800 also, not tried higher yet, and gets a decent 16.3Th@800Mhz setting, with a temp. increase of 11 deg. reaching 88 celcius.

One thing which i find a bit odd, is that my Awesome miner states 16.3Th, while my pool within 10-20 seconds went to 13Th readout, and further increases by .1Th each 5-10 minutes or so. As we speak it has crawled to 13.8, still not doing better as some of my S9i's (exept according to awesome miner and the actual webbased miner screen.)

All i did so far was setting the frequency.

What are the advised next steps?

Also a few tips/requests if possible:

- Can you make the advanced screen appear just in the manu, instead of url change?
- is there apossibility to set the fan speeds?
- please add in your description how to change the rights of the firmware, not everyone knows Linux that well... Smiley
- it would be highly advisable to make a small index of which firmware does what to which miner.
- i find it a little confusing how you set the 2 firmwares in your start post and state both are optimised for S9i (?)

No harm was meant by my comment, just good intentions. I know from expirience that as im not native, sometimes i miss the "subtle way" of writing.

Trying to figure that out as this is pretty odd. As we did not flash a different firmware than what is on your machine. We replaced the factory bmminer with one that removed the voltage limitation and fanspeed checks. Was it mining properly on the official T9+ firmware?

Converting bmminer back and reflash didn't change it back?Huh The errors you have are for the sw on the pic aka on the hasboards themselves.

I just pulled the bmminer file for that one just to be safe. It was originally made to fix the firmware issue from flashing that dolzminer which we were trying to help a fell out with and figured it was compiled so might as well release it since it has all the same tweaks.

reflashed to which version? i dont have the previous version..

yeah better pull it off at the moment..

so what can i do now? lol

nope.. i flash the T9+ firmware from bitmain.. https://service.bitmain.com/support/download?product=Antminer%20T9%2B

after flashed, it work like normal.. but after changing bmminer.. it start to have issues..

That is really weird... When you changed the offical bmminer back it didn't change.

You did not flash the S9 firmware right? Because that seems to be causing all sort of hell for people on T9+

nope.. i didnt flash any firmware before.. i revert back to stocks and its running on 3-4 TH/s which i have update the official firmware prior to changing bmminer..

any other way that i can make it run like normal?

but why is my t9+ not working? it's brand new.. i updated the latest firmware from bitmain.. but still got issues after changing your bmminer.. appreciate your help.. thanks in advance..

If you flashed that dolz firmware or whatever they are still trying to fix it. If my version of bmminer is not working properly for you just revert back to stock. This is not a firmware flash like the others here but just a modified version of bmminer. Hence the request to update the miners official firmware prior to changing bmminer.

You are the best! reflow fixed it! Cheesy

Did you use a rework station or did you just hit that bastard up.

Sorry to hear that you board is probably in bad shape Sad a reflow might fix it.

Yes use the T9+ latest firmware for bmminer swap.

i have flashed the T9+ latest firmware.. and have swap as per instruction above.. but it's not hashing.. below are the kernel log.

@Taserz: Is it possible to combine all your work and info in the first post by editing, so all the info is in one post?
More easy to find, and more clear to people that are not so familiar with flashing etcetera. Also,as some other people post their linkt and software in your post as well, which is confusing, it might prevent unwanted errors. (especially for non-natives...)

Not meaning to criticize, just giving my opinion.

Im looking for the best firmware to put on the S9 and S9i with 1600W psu's. Is it the one in your first post? Seems to be the one for 1800W as far as i understand. Thank you.

Keep on the great job you're doing!  Cheesy

Sorry to hear that you board is probably in bad shape Sad a reflow might fix it.

Hello! I have one hashboard that doesn't mine because it can't read temp (always shows TempChip2 15 degrees Celsius). Can I disable check of temp with your firmware mod?

There is a possibility it will work.

Fan thing worked! question, if I reboot the miner do I have to go back in and run the restart command for the bmminer?

Nope.

You will only have to change your frequency if you change your pool config through the webpanel. bmminer will start like normal if it restarts.
