Are the issues you guys have been seeing with the S9 related only to certain batches? Trying to decide if it is worth the risk to buy one. Thoughts from S9 owners?

maybe i missed it....has anyone tried the manual freq firmware on the new s9's that auto clocks itself??
I tried it. Didn't work. Nearly bricked the unit. Had to reset and reflash to get it working again.
Bitmain's price on these things drops faster than I can mine BTC with them. Hard to imagine anyone who has purchased an S9 up to now has come out ahead of those sitting on the sidelines.

Has anyone had luck making the S9 a bit more silent? under powering them seem to help at all?
And does the antminer software have the ability to change it's hash rate based on time of day? ramp up during day when I'm away, be a bit better when I'm home etc.?

Read back in the thread. Been discussed ad-nauseum here. To all the above - no.
Pre-autotune firmware you could tweak them a little for speed and fans, now that is impossible.

haha and it is gone (11th that is)...some of us have other things to do to than to check bitmain's site every minute...
oh, well, less money for THEM.

Since Avalon gave us the finger by not accepting BTC 
just ordered a B23 which will now put me at 10x of the s9's.
Canaan/Avlon's loss as I would have rather spent the $1700 on 2 of their miners but oh well.

Bah just bit the bullet and ordered the latest.
Have access to free power for 6 months. So may as well go with the highest output model

I know on my S7LN when the temp dropped below 48degress it would drop a board. 52+ is better and runs with no problems at all.

Hello,
I Have B2 S9, so it should be hashing 12.9 TH/s but for the past 7 days one of the boards (chain 4) is not hashing as fast as it should... Any ideas?
ATM it is hashing around 10.5 TH/s
BTW why am I missing chain #2? Never noticed this before...
Thanks

those r some good lookin temps my dude! maybe they are TOO GOOD. i know bitmain support emailed me back saying my temps were too low and that might cause my miner to run slower because they said it needs a hotter temp when starting. they wanted me to raise the temps where i was running a bunch of machines which all of the other ones worked fine it was just that one that hashed slower. did the temps where your running the miner drop in the past week or so? idk how true the temp claim is to be honest because i wasnt about to raise the temps on the room and on every miner in there just to get an extra th/s or 2...not worth the risk imo.

USA, Russia, Ukraine, Iceland and other limited service location are primary repairing the original item send in as the priority, however, if the damages are extensive but repairble, to reduce the mining time loss, the repair cost estimate be issued based on the actual damages but the replacement PCB may be send out to you to save a few days.
Main goal is to return the same PCB the customer send in. Also, if we do ship out the replacement, BitmainWarranty.com will offer 30-day limited service guarantee (workmanship guarantee) on the item or retain the original warranty duration of the unit whichever the longest.
Usually, bad S9 hash PCB can be repaired and ship back to the customer the same day or the next business day. (common duration be 1-3 days but the main backlog be after the repair is confirmed, the time delay while the customer service rep wait for the payment from the customers. Item will not be send out until the payment is received in full.) Some occasion, notification email seem to end up in the Spam folder of the customers. Other few days delay from customer opening the new ticket (sometimes with a different email address inquiring the same repair on another ticket number)

Dear Bitcoiners,
Good news for those who missed the previous two batches of the Antminer S9: we are launching two new batches today!
Batch 22 and batch 23 can deliver a hashrate of 11TH/s and 14TH/s, respectively.
They will be available here after 2300 hours (Beijing time, GMT +8) today (16 November 2016).
We advise all to confirm their order while stock lasts.
For any questions, suggestions or troubleshooting, please reach out to us at support.bitmain.com
Regards,
the Bitmain team

From what BitmainWarranty said further up this thread, there is short turn around time for the repair of most boards. This would surely indicate a common problem on most boards that is likely to fail. Surely making us aware of this common problem might help miners from losing hashing time sending boards for repair?
Been there, asked that of BitmainWarranty several times.No answer from them as to what fails, just a lot of excuses why the repair process and results are not documented.

they start to use S9 on hashnest ( PACMiC v5 )
is that mean its more reliable now ?

Avalon 7 looks like a better deal after seeing all these problems with reliability.

Hello all,
Can someone please explain to me how my S9 had a spike to 20.03 TH/s ( 5 Min Hash Rate ). I have had other spikes to around 18+/- TH/s also so this is not a one time occurrence. I am no hardware expert, so someone please clue me in...but if this thing can hash for 5 minutes at 20.03 TH/s, then is it not possible to figure out how I achieved that hash rate and then modify to retain that hash rate? I am running 650 freq. with the November 07 firmware.

it could just mean it had a streak of shares being submitted really fast to the pool. it happens sometimes. sames goes on the pool end...you will sometimes see large spikes pool side of speeds almost double what the actual miner speed is but it evens back out shortly after...nothing that comes close to lasting for hours.
its just statistical varience, as expected with the way bitcoin hashing is done. youve probably also seen moments of <7TH?

Here's a few links of former firmware.
They were at least downloadable till batch13.
It is highly possible, these files don't work with actual batches, make them useless,destroy them, let'em explode or so.
So any download and/or use at own risk.
