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.
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.....
so in theory you could set a 14th S9 to run at 9TH. and underclock it...
I have not played with this yet
hmmm well when you do please let us know because freq control would be awesome for the autotune miners.

An update for the community at large, both my S9s upgraded without issue. They seem to be hashing better but it could very likley be varince in the pool. Batch 13 miners, firmware Antminer-S9-all-201611252206-autofreq-user.tar.gz which I think is the latest.
This update procedure is nerve-wracking when it is done remotely.
After software boots, somehow there is a socket failed indication.
I had no idea what it means, tried to reverse with a backup, which failed somehow, then I decided to reinstall upgrade again, saw socket failed for a second time and decided to simply wait. At that time miner did not show any mining, obviously. In about 3-5 min, miner started mining. Instead of PCB and chip temp there is now Chip1 (which is absent) and Chip 2 temp. Temp was actually higher than before initially, but eased below 98C (not to 80ies , though). Overall, chip temp are a bit higher, but WU is slightly higher as well.
Not sure that I will do the update on more machines.

Looks like you can downgrade from 11-25 to 7-13 if things don't play on older s9's
Have an 11.85 that I tried to upgrade to 11-25 but bmminer version did not show up, just blank on system page,
miner would not start to hash. Booted ok.
Rolled back to 7-13 and things were fine.
Some older s9's will not work on the new firmware.

Good info, thanks.
Do you happen to remember batch number S9 that went blank after an update? Mine are b10 and b12.
I wonder, why the heck bitmain says "all" eligible for an update.
Did you roll back 7-13 version after saving it to PC? I see that there is an option of saving the current system.

To bad the controller boards were not easy to get.
Once could effectively pull the three blades out and make 3 individual 4TH miners, that would be cooler, custom cooling system.
And spread out the heat.
Hmm...
Where could someone buy the controllers?

I'm running all three boards. Heat wise it will keep the room warm (only a small room) no problem. Waiting on a replacement fan for the rear as it's bottomed out at 2400rpm whereas the front is down to 1680rpm.
Temps are 45-48pcb and around 70chip iirc. Would like to get it up a bit more so when the new fan turns up I may up the freq slightly to keep it running warmer.
Needless to say I don't need any additional heating in the room,radiator is turned off and it's still 20c which is perfect.

Yeah, I'm running one of mine S9's at 9.8Th/s (456.25 Mhz) with a bearable noise level. I use it with the Enermax Revolution 87+ 1000W PSU.
I use a manual fan setting.
How is heat at that speed?
I can't give you an "universal answer" that would work in any situation.
I could however describe it as "a 1kW radiator."
At the moment I can see ~60C PCB temps for the miner.

I have 1 blade in a case fans at 38% clocked at 475 vs 600
I get about 3500th at 350 watts.
it would use 950 to 1000 watts
vs 1350 to 1400 watts.
1000 watts is close to 3400 btu
the middle setting on this kind of heater

could you tell me when last batch was sold out?
About two weeks ago they sold out of the latest batches. They sold out within hours of being put on sale.

Some older s9's will not work on the new firmware.
Like I said before, you can mix and match autotune hashboards in older s9's and use the new 11-25 firmware and the hashboards that are
autotune WILL autotune, non autotunes just lock in their standard freq.
11-25 firmware working well for me.
Have same issue with chip1-chip2
I think 11-2 firmware would cause you not to be able to upgrade. They had a 'fix' upgrade that you would have to do first then
do regular upgrade but it is gone now from the support site.
Bitmainwarranty.com is the bomb. Excellent.

I upgraded my b11 S9 to 1125 fw. Noticed the temperature columns reported changed. I no longer see readings in Temp(Chip1) column. Only Temp(Chip2) has readings. BTW can someone elaborate what Chip1 and 2 mean?
