I've got a couple S9s running. One of the boards on one unit keeps slowing down to 2TH/s after a couple hours and needs a restart to be normal again. Not sure what the issue is. Is anyone else seeing this sort of behavior?

I've had similar trouble with S9, batch 2 12.93Th/s.
Board 3 was performing low when compared to the two another boards.
This was with the stock frequency 600 Mhz.
I changed the frequency to 550 Mhz, then let it run for a while and get warm.
Board 3 instantly performs better with the 550 Mhz than with the 600 Mhz.
Then after a while I change the frequency back to 600 Mhz and it runs okay.
Not exactly about 12.93Th/s like it should be but about 12.6Th/s and that is the best it can do.
Any frequency past 600 Mhz is a problem for the board 3.

3 of my S9 batch 19 are only running at 11Th and some even 10Th.
Very strange problem. My machines are hosted in labrador so I'm waiting to hear back if its a down board or just a firmware issue.
Really hope its just firmware

The latest firmware is awful.

I agree, flashed back to the old. Which one is working best for people???

Running oct 27 auto tune, seems ok.

Same here, best one I've tested.

Same version for me. It hits 100 (usually always on the same chain) and that's as high as it gets before fans kick up to full and bring it down. Sounds like a jet taking off every few minutes but it's getting the job done. Hashrate is slightly above the 13Th advertised.

Got two 13.5th today . They were on oct 25 firmware. Saw the nov 2 firmware and installed on one.
Boards ran hot, fan was at 20%. Temps were 108c. Rolled back to oct 27, temps cooler.
They do run quietly at 20% fan but those temps are too scary for me.
They still cycled the fan speed. No hwe.

Here is the link to s9 oct 27 autotune firmware

http://www76.zippyshare.com/v/JGWEtCNi/file.html

Good until 30 days no activity.

How are you doing 20% fan?

With autotune firmware the fan speed is set automatically like the frequency.

@Sierra8561 If you scroll to the bottom of the kernel log the last 7 lines show the temps and fan speed. If you refresh that page those 7 lines will refresh values so you can see what fan speed the autotune is selecting.

Thank you, I see the chip temps. It says Fan PWM: 10. What does that mean?

I would bet that it means 10%. If I look at the bmminer.conf file on my older S9's where I have static fan speed the line says: "bitmain-fan-pwm" : "90", which in that case means it is set to 90%.

EDIT: Also just for the record I did try altering the bmminer.conf file on the autotune one to have the manual fan speed and set the speed (two different commands) and the settings are ignored.

I was kinda wondering that, but it sure seems low. I know seasons have changed and summer is over but going from 90% to 10 seems a bit much.

Edit: as a test I adjusted another S9 to 30% fan and was in the high 100's in just a minute or two. So I'm not sure what it means.

I can tell by the fan rpms on the gui about how fast it is set. 2500 is about 30% 2000 is about 20%.
Thanks for the kernal log tip.

This is the third time someone has hacked a dormant 100% positive feedback ebay account to sell antminer s9 +psu+ free overnight shipping.
They start the auction on Friday and run it for 3 days.
When you pay with paypal they reverse the transaction and force you to pay with bitcoin.
Bye Bye bitcoin. Ebay account was hacked.

NEW Bitmain Antminer S9 Bitcoin Miner, 12.93 Th/s & APW3-12-1600 PSU
eBay item number:112193604061

This is a live auction, ebay is dragging their feet for the THIRD time in as many weeks for the same auction, same price, same pictures.

Please be careful.

EDIT: Finally looks like they took it down.

Crap, another board has gone up.
Looks like the same symptoms as the last one they fixed for me.
Last one was no warranty, cost $175+$25 shipping.

What do Bitmain put on the Customs Declaration when they send the miners? Do they list the real value of the equipment or do the "adjust" it to help customers out?

Only reason I ask is that the customs duty would kill me having a new miner (which is needed as I would like to make a profit for once).

Blame Finland, I don't even pay $10.00 in the U.S.

They damn well should be listing value as what it was bought for. Listing at a lower value is highly illegal and if/when caught by the receivers country will result in hefty fines and good chance the company would be banned from shipping to that country.

You're right. I would point my criticism more towards the Government of Finland.

edit: In other news, I guess Bitmain is manufacturing a lot of S9's at the moment.

Well that definitely sucks then as (like you HagssFIN) its 20% here plus fees by the postal service for doing the "paperwork" for it.
