In 2 weeks of mining in a 70F warehouse I have now lost 3 boards out of 6 in the 2 S9's that I just got 2 weeks ago.

Is this normal?

I have bought over 150 S7's, 250 S5's and 300 S3's and never had this kind of failure rate.

Is anyone else experiencing this?

Seems very high to me. I've had some boards go down, but nothing even remotely close to that percentage.

Any way to get the boards to works again? When they have gone down they are all X's. Then I restart and the hashboard doesn't even show up. Nothing is burned and the red lights are on on the board. Can I disconnect them for a while and try them again or any other tips?

Just received my fith S9 12.93, i ordered from Bitmain Warranty here in the USA. After booting it up, the first hashboard had unusually high temperatures. Even after reducing the clock speed to 550 the first hashboard was still running at 101. Meanwhile, the rest of my S9's are running under 100 at stock or close to stock clock speeds. I had to reduce the hashrate to 525 in order to get this machine to stay under 100 degrees... A bit abnormal if you ask me... I went ahead and submitted a request with Bitmain Warranty regarding the issue to see what we can do about this. Anyone else have similar experience?

That is good. I am hoping my parts ordered on the 24th show soon.
I would like to,get the gear running again.

After chatting further with support it seems that I need to either add some cooling to my environment or send my miners out for hosting. Right now I'm thinking about going the hosting route, idk if it makes BTC sense to add all kinds of cooling, that will just hurt my ROI.

Are you kidding??? Hosting will cost you ALOT more than a few little fans or even a one time $100-250 5000-12,000 btu window unit installed in a shed (& the electricity to power the ac unit) Roll Eyes

Pretty sure hosting is about $80+ a month or so & you earn ATM:

per Day   0.01459349 BTC   $9.24
per Week   0.10215440 BTC   $64.69
per Month   0.44418921 BTC   $281.31

Well,it don't look as bad as I thought,but it will get worse as diff rises fairly fast...........

Well, you would be right if I was paying that much.

Hey all,
Was looking to get the community's feedback on an issue I've been experiencing with one of my S9's. One of the hashboards will xxxxxx out after being on a few hours. The PCB is 61C and the Chip is 90C. Each time I do a soft reset of the miner, the hashboard will work again but then stop after a few hours, sometimes less. I was thinking it may be a heat thing, but those temperatures appear ok. I've attached a screenshot. Quick note, it says it's running at 39,000 GH which is of course incorrect. I base the speed on the average reading. Any help or thoughts would be much appreciated.
Thanks all

they removed this heatsinks to make it heater and cannot overclock on the future
so they have more temp than B600 all the time
cgminer display maximum chip temp on the panel and they removed many of it to make PCB temp get high too
so you can't overclock it
