Evil beware: We have waffles!
Also be aware that the s7's report only board temps. I take it the temps you are concerned about are the chip temps - not boards right? Can't compare the 2 as the chip temps are always high on the s9's. As in from mid 80's to yes even around 100C.

hi, i just got my antminers S9 but they are working at temps over 100, but all my S7 are working under 50 temp, i have good cooling, (with s9 i can not edit the fan speed and its realy quiet it might be the problem) is there a way to activate this setting ?

Have you tried resetting them?? Not sure how on an S9 but im sure it will be in the manual somewhere.
Looks like you have autotune s9's
What version of firmware are you running? What is the speed on the label? The new 11-29 firmware should work well for you with cooler temps.
No fan setting on the new autotunes, it figures out what the speed should be.

there is no 11-28 anymore, replaced by 11-29.
I wonder...if something needed to be added one day later, would you need at least a few days to check it out?
If someone used 11-29 firmware, please post.
I have one B12 miner on 11-25, chip temp are too high. I have another on 7-13 and chip temp are 10-13C lower.

@wolfen or anyone else, maybe we can organize a firmware repository: i am interested in earlier reliable firmware for a 550 mhz machine (my understanding is that 7-13 firmware is just for 600mhz, but I could be wrong). If you can post the 7-13 tar, it would be great.
I use the 600M 7-13 on my 550M machines, works ok , you can set the freq and the fans.

i create restart by power supply and it returned to work
A lot of times power cycle or reboot will clear things up. If not then off to repair.

I believe there is a 7-13 550 firmware. I'm sure I have it on ONE of my pc's. I try to make sure I download every version they kick out there.
11-29? lol Smiley

I agree about a repository, I would upload everything I have if there is a persistent location.

why  i cant max fan speed manually in S9 but i can in S7?
Was removed in the firmware.

and they refuse to repair it under warranty

the new 29Nov damage one board in my machine
after upgrade it start with 0000 hash and i returned to old firmware and this board disappear!

Rolled back to 7-13 for now.

I might have done the same, but somehow reversal to 7-13 does not take. I tried once with the saved tar and it said "successed" (sic)), but software did not change back. The whole sitting at "sock failure" (and no other communications) for a few min is in itself a bit iffy as far as interface is concerned.
No problem for me rolling back to 7-13.
These are pre-autotune machines.
I used the 7-13 firmware that I had downloaded from bitmain on 7-13. I believe it was the 600M version. I'm running the machine at 550M.

Sometimes just a reboot will calm down the error rates.

So after the 11-28 flash starts it take 7 minutes to finish/boot. Then it starts hashing and the Bmminer version 2.0 shows up on the system page.
The configuration page then will show a frequency selection 550-600-650
Once you select it the selection will go away forever and the frequency will be set/changed.
I think at that point it needs a reboot to calm the error rate.

No zuo no die why you try, u zuo u die dont be shy
confirmed the 1128 fw flashing time took about 6-7 minutes. In 1125, I had two boards that produces high error rates relatively, ~0.0026% in 2 days. Now the error rate is about 0.0005% and I noticed hash rate improved by about 150~200 GH/s. will see how it does after longer run time.


They are at 11-28 firmware now. This is kicking my ass. But better than no upgrades.
Running one autotune on 11-28, seems ok.
The bmminer version does not show up until it is hashing. Takes 7 minutes.  I did not wait long enough for my 11.83 to boot.
Need patience with this new firmware.

Upgraded my 11.83 to 11-28 and it booted. Only has one board for now.
Worked ok but fans are at 6000 with clock at 550 to keep the chips under 100
Takes 7 minutes for the miner to start hashing with the new firmware.

Today I updated my Batch 23 to latest FW build 11-28 All seems well no noticeable change in the last few FW versions but I did notice the failed socket error time seems to have been reduced and don't tend to see that message anymore

Incase anyone was wondering. The S9 can be made quieter if you want to underclock it. I've got mine running at 200m pulling 430w at the wall getting 4.2Th and it's nicely located under my desk.

this only works on the old versions of the s9. on the new batches you cant control the speed of the fans or the speed of the miner unfortunately. unless u do what i mentioned in previous posts but that only works for the fan not the miner speed.
The latest firmware let's you sit the freq on firmware install... so it can be done still

so you have an autofreq s9 and when you set the freq it actually sets it and runs at that freq? because what i have seen the manual freq only works on the pre auto tune miners and doesnt apply the freq to the non auto tune boards.....
The LATEST, s9 firmware, allows you to set the operational FREQ at install.
so in theory you could set a 14th S9 to run at 9TH. and underclock it...
I have not played with this yet
The selection I got for freq was 550 or 600 or 650. I'm not sure you can set it to whatever you want?
I have not played with it yet, as I'm happy with how mine is working on older FW.
Maybe those are the only options? but then someone with a 14th machine could clock it down, but if you had the lowest already, maybe not?
