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.
I am in India
