2 weeks, 2 dead chips on my brand new s9
another s9 has a dead board

funny how they sell this crap gear for 1600$ and people buy them

Money is a funny drug;)

So true

My second dead board is on its way to me. I will install both dead boards at the same time.

Have to thank Yoshi of bitmainwarranty for the replacement service.

my verdict on the gear is it is easier to break then any other chip. So plan for it. Also add 10% to the price you pay since the gear breaks so much easier then any of there older gear.

Frankly they should charge more for the gear and give a better warranty.

I am thankful that you had a positive experience, i pray i never have to email yoshi, but if i do i hope i have a positive experience. There is hope!!!

Did you miss the part where all accepted shares were to kano?

hmmm.... yes missed that... and this is a strange bug

So what is the deal with posting images? I am unable to all of a sudden.

Why does this machine say it found a block?

I think you hit a block while mining at multipool .. failover from kano.

.. is multipool a SHA256 multi-algo pool?

if yes... then you are bound to hit a block or two

I once ran my S9 at SHA256.mine.zpool.ca:3333 and got 15 blocks!

Money is a funny drug;). And honestly who would think they are going to send us the goods after reading this thread. its time to start filing complaints within the us agencies and at least put some heat on bitmainwarranty they go hand and hand. And if they don't they might have wanted to pick a better name for their site/company. Good luck to all that buy these POS. And at this point Avalon just seems to be pulling a bit fury. Have some shit leak out that they are coming with new miner so that we don't buy from bitmain. Just funny how this all playing out. Really is LOL

Also when sending back the parts be sure to disclose the same value they did to us when sending to USA. So that proper tax can be applied to them as it was to us. Why should they get some kind of relief when it's their problems in the first place? not to mention when it's damaged in transit you can only file what you said it's worth;)

A bad recommendation, with at great cost.

Read the warranty instructions first.
https://cnshop.bitmain.com/workOrderGuide.htm

You agree to pay for itself their TAX, if you put real shipping value.

e. Please be sure to declare value “within $45” and describe the product as “Warranty part” on the waybill, otherwise the extra customs clearance fees will be billed to the client.

nice hash doesnt always mine bitcoin..

you can easily find a block within a couple seconds of starting up the miner.

also there is a bug in the s7 firmware that if you mine some alt coins, it thinks you find blocks when you dont.. i guess its the same with s9.

No look again. It didn't mine on nicehash at all. All shares were submitted to kano which means it was only ever mining BTC. The diff of the highest share is too low to be a BTC block (plus kano pool did not indicate a block found by me).

Hi all,

I would like to send my faulty hashboards to Bitmain. As I understood I can remove hashboards and than I'm creating repair ticket, RMA etc.
Or do I need to inform Bitmain before I remove the boards ? (which would be very stupid practice) but I would like to make sure I do everything properly.

Thank you

open a support ticket first and do what they ask you to do

now i get no lower than 0.0023%

Ja that is more than you were originally seeing and is puzzlement why, but -- still perfectly acceptable and I'd say is fine. My s9's range from 0.0002% up to around 0.003% after a few days/weeks of running. 3 of them are running stock speed, 4 are slightly under clocked to keep chip temps below 100C.

Start pushing 0.005 and then I'd start poking around.

that what happen to my board
today i replaced the place for both boards and decreased freq to 500
now every things is ok
so i think if we kept our miner's chips in temp lower than 92 C from the first day we will keep it from this drop that happen to it after some weeks and make it get more HW errors than it get in its first use

here is picture from 3 days before what happen to the middle board ( on 550 Freq)
after 3 days and half i get 0.0001% Hw errors
now i get no lower than 0.0023%

i think i can't restore this board to the old situation
i tried restart or close the miners for hours
still have same HW error

Are you hashing with 2 hash PCB in the case instead of all 3?

i get message today that my board repaired and sent to me, but ..
yesterday i get my miner stopped and after restarting i found one board from the both still i have get temp higher then the other by 10C
and getting many HW errors 0.0023%
from 2 days the highest HW i get is 0.0003
i down clocked my miner from 550 to 529 ( its B9-600 Freq)
now one board have 87C and the other have 97C
can i under clock one board only ?

yes, in a room with air condition and down rated from 600 to 529
is that wrong ?

exactly what happen after removing third board so i decreased frequency a lot to make its temp in acceptable range
but after a week i suddenly get 10X more HW than what i get from it in the past

I believe he is pointing out that if the missing board is not the middle (in other words one of the side boards) then the air flow in the cabinet would very likely account for one board running a lot hotter than the other. One board would have lots of space on one side of it for air flow and heat dissipation (the center board) and the other would not (because it has the center board close on one side and the cabinet close on the other). So the air flow differences from the missing board could account for the heat difference.
