'The right to privacy matters'
Just thought I'd update here on my repair process with my Batch 23 Antminer S9.
It arrived last week and this week 2 boards stopped operating. I contacted bitmain and was told to return the unit to Hong Kong as per usual. After I complained about the shipping cost being too high bitmain offered to cover the return shipping. So far I must say the service is excellent and did not expect this from bitmain due to the high complaints about warranty. I was pretty shocked when they said they would pay for all round shipping. Great service so far and really gives me hope that they still care about customers.
I hope other people dealing with repairs get the same treatment as this
 

That is stunning  I have never read this from anyone but you.

This is one of my Batch 17 S9's purchased direct from China. Is there still no way adjust frequencies on these or has someone hacked it?

The boards on this miner are just a mess.


This is an autotune s9. Everything is automatic, fans, freq. Looks like yours is running perfectly.
What is your firmware date? The latest is 11-29

Electrical engineer. Mining since 2014.
So far no one hasn't come with any other solution than trying different firmware versions with those autotune frequency models.  Undecided
I don't have a autotune freq model, so I don't know much more about it.

Huobi has BTC at 801USD Holy crap.

You should take a look at the price of bitcoin in some Indian bitcoin exchanges.
Price of bitcoin going to pump up soon.

Indians getting the big screw job from the govt. They are smart, they will figure out bitcoin is a great thing.

Nah! They already use gold as their store of wealth.

Looks like the R4 is back up for sale.  Wonder if another S9 round is coming?  Usually they announce these things, don't they?

R4 sold out within hours. I saw no more S9 on the listing aswell..bitmain will release S10/S11???

Demand more S9 and R4 is soo high and I don't see it coming down soon. I think newer version will take time to release. . I expect it to be released by end of 2017 or by beginning of 2018.

Zero need to release the s10/s11

As of today the s9 is far more efficient then anything else for sale.

They will continue to sell s9s until at least July

..but bitmain thinks that the price is $741/btc  Grin. Why is that?
I have a theory, but it is more of a speculation topic.
However, it (price fixing) almost never works in the opposite direction (if btc price drops, they just stop the sales momentarily).
I just wish that the price stays relatively flat for a couple of days around the sale, but it typically doesn't.

freq set to 600, all boards show the same, fan at 90%, approx 12.7th scoring, noise wise its the quietest of 5 s9's - no howling
So they sent you a non autotune machine. I'm good with that.
I have had good luck with the autotunes.
I put a replacement board in a non autotune machine but ran autotune firmware on it. The two original boards ran 600.
The new board autotuned to 625.
So replacement boards can be autotune or non-autotune. It appears the board makes the difference, you cannot see an autotune board unless you run autotune firmware.

One of my S9-s board stopped hashing after the warranty was over, I might need to send it for repair at my own costs.
As I know I need to send it in US right? And also what will be the max cost of repair/replace the board ?

I paid $150 plus $25 Shipping to Colorado a couple weeks ago....location is relevant to the shipping cost.
I'm sending my boards from Georgia, Tbilisi. Shipping would be higher. Does they pay for shipping back or it is on me too ?

I think that they have a site in both Russia and Ukraine for all EU/european customers.
https://bitmainwarranty.com/contact/
Strange thing is that for me sending to US is cheaper than in EU. I asked them what should I do and waiting for reply after that I'll decide were to send the board.
Thanks for helping me Smiley
