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.

You may need Chain 3 PCB repaired/replaced


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

Electrical engineer. Mining since 2014.
That doesn't make technically any sense, it must be a manufacturing failure or something?

the s7 and s9 was a bad design.. thermally.
the heatsinks right behind the fan in the center by the motor part of the fan get no air at all..

they should have added a 1 inch spacer on the intake and exhaust fan to help, but even then those front sinks are in a dead spot.
also having those tiny heatsinks all over the place not even lined up is not helping either.

at the very least they should have made some jig to hold the heatsinks and make them all perfectly lined up.




My mod should fix this as the unit will be a little longer.

yes something like this 3d printed that channeled the air through the miner would be pretty helpful.

my goal is to make two miners.  

order a second controller.    so you get a 2 board miner fully stock

  and pull one board cut the post to length from mount it here and you get a one board miner which you can downclock run in house and it needs under a 750 watt psu.

Cost is not bad and if you have 5 or 6 s9s like I do  this gives you spare parts plus let you tinker.
