The exact problem i am getting is miner is completely mining with good temp and hashrate but after around 40 minutes it is suddenly getting off means only miner is getting off miner light and fan are like in off situation and PSU fan is running and at time of sudden stop the temp is normal and i am using bitmain power supply and have 220 volt at miner place

you definitely damaged the controller by running fans at 100%  .  order a new one  from bitmainwarranty if you are in the usa.  the cost will be about 118 + shipping.


I will repeat this in huge letters

Never set fans to 100%  do 90%

This is just getting ridiculous Phil and you Freaking know it.>   I wish people would stop making excuses for this company and giving them ways to get out of shit.

Can Phil or god forbid Bitmainwarranty give the list of what not todo.   Here people are replacing controllers left and fucking right and now it finally comes out that they arent meant to run at full fan speed?  What about letting the software control it where it would pulse up and down thus causing spikes in amperage as it comes from factory.  KNowing that the controller is made to fail(why would i think otherwise its planned obsolescence ffs), This S9 is the biggest POS fail ive seen .  And the countless excuses being made for this company just grinds my gears.  makes we wonder why i didnt get that gig.  Must pay rather well.


I posted this months ago.  I said running fans at 100 % for months is not advisable.  I said it would burn out fans and or controllers.  I said it was common sense to set at 90 or 95 %.
Here is another piece of info. The manual does not tell you this. So it is the manual and bitmaintech that should mention this  . My advise months ago was my advice no one else placed it but the fact is 100% fan setting is wrong on this gear.  Since I killed a controller at 95% it could be a setting of 85% is better then my setting of 90% 95%.

I will also mention the s9 is more delicate then the s7 or s5.

My annoyance should be made clear do not set the fans at 100 percent. Is my advice and no one else's
I just get annoyed when people do not practice common sense.
In the case of fan settings bitmaintech should say a manual setting for your fan of 100 % is not advisable
They don't say it.
They do say overclock of freq voids warranty.
I know of nothing anywhere that says setting fans at 100% will void warranty.

I told him just buy one from bitmainwarranty. Since shipping it to China and waiting for it to be returned costs more then just buying one from bitmainwarranty in Colorado.

Did you try powering the controller and only one or two boards at a time, to make sure it's not the PSU overloading?

I tried today with 3 board connecting to power supply but it is running for sometime and getting off only psu is running
can it be problem of overheating means if the temp is getting higher so it is getting turned off ?

Yes i tried only connecting 2 board then also same problem only PSU fan is running

Try just the controller the 1 jack

See if you can connect to the controller and if the fans run.

With no fans running .

Could be dead fans. Or dead fan jack on controller or psu has weak volts.

Did you run the fans at 100% manual setting.

That can kill the fan or the fan jack.

Other trouble shooting do you have a working second s9.

If you do pull the psu and try it on the dead s9

If runs you have A psu issue.

yes i was running fan at 100% manual setting from around 2 months from now

ok one more issue , i poped the 2 good plades into a completly dead 1 fan unit case , fashed the controller with the 4.86th 2 fan 600 freq fw , since its only got one fan its throwing errors out and shutting down the miner .

can i just reflash the single fan fw and downclock it to 600 freq and run it like that ?

what single fan fw?

I am 90% sure that is for the s7 not the s9


why not buy a fan?

Hello when i am powering my s9 the power supply fan is starting but on miner no fan are working and no light near LAN port what can be the reason for this ?

did it ever work at all?

Yes completely well but now the miner fan and lights on miner are not just responding only like a off situation only what can i do now ?

sounds like you killed off the controller.

if you are in the usa bitmainwarranty has the parts.

https://bitmainwarranty.com/shop/products/us/s9-io-pcb-no-network-port/

https://bitmainwarranty.com/shop/products/us/s9-control-pcb-c5/

you will need both they add to 118 usd plus shipping.

contact them and ask for trouble shooting tips.

if you want you could check if the fans died if they died the gear won't run.
if the psu is supply really low power like 5 volt or 7 volts it also won't run.
they do have fans
https://bitmainwarranty.com/shop/products/us/fan_s7/

these on eBay should also work.

Hello when i am powering my s9 the power supply fan is starting but on miner no fan are working and no light near LAN port what can be the reason for this ?
Is the power supply output giving out 12VDC?
First thing I would check is if the power supply is okay.

Fortunately for me, I've had a very solid last 6 weeks. No real problems, I don't turn them off unless absolutely necessary. Just let them run and don't mess with them seems to work great.

so we need to celebrate when something should happen is happen
