Yeah, the rattling sound which comes from the boards being loosely attached almost made me shit my pants when I received my Ant S9 and carefully turned it around 360deg few times. Tongue

It was kind of tricky to find out if there is any loose heat sinks before turning it on.
Luckily my unit turned out too be a good one, at least so far.
Sorry to hear about you guys' S9 problems though Undecided

IKR!?!? i flip all my miners 360 degrees when i first get them or move them just in case a heat sink fell off on their way to me but the board kept throwing me off a bit. pushing the controller forward and putting a dab of hot glue at the 2 exposed corners holds the controller firmly in place and isnt messy and doesnt take a whole lot of work. it can also be undone with just about no effort on my part too. i just dont like the idea of a pcb bouncing around in a metal enclosure....it makes me cringe.

Agreed, it shouldn't be that hard for Bitmain to take out that slop nor should it really "cost" them any money. I'd like to see them tighten up QA, at the price they're asking, these things need to be bullet proof.

Anyone knows some Antminer S9 Monitors ??
I had M miner Monitor with the S7 but it doesn't recognize the s9 Sad

Second Question of same category:

I have all my miners with a hosting company and work individually with my miners remotely through a vpn. Is there a dashboard that I can view my critical information without having to remote onto each miner?

See my signature. There is a free solution but it needs network access to the machines.

My answer to Bitmain

You're lying.
I want proof that this is my hashchboard. High resolution image os whole haschboard, which also shows the serial number,
It is not possible, that whit transport was off the radiator or radiator with chips.
Before packing tI carefully checked all radiators on the on the side . All were tight.
With My package was not possible for them to become damaged during transport.

It possible that your engineer making injury during repair, or this is or it is not my blade. I want to warranty repair or replacement.

I have in my side fulfilled all the terms of the warranty..

first I want new and better picture with serial to prove that it is my haschboard.

Yes please do get the picture:). Be interested to see if it's the same board you sent in. Should be easy enough to tell for as shitty as these seem to be put together. Ie the heat sinks look like a kid put them on and if it's the case of human putting them on they will all be different. Please get the pic

BR

Edit it should be mandatory to open and inspect the miner prior to use. If the heat sinks aren't aligned properly you will have overheating but only on a few chips. Those chips burn up and bitmain Doesn't have to honor warranty. What a shit!

Where is the picture with high resolution and with a serial number and damage ?

Dear customer,

Sorry to keep you wait.
As you can see in the attachment, two heat sinks of the hash board dropped off, which lead to the PIN lost in circuits board. The hash board is likely to be hit in transit.
Our engineer have tried their best, but it is no use. It can not be repaired anymore.
We suggest you to make a claim to your logistics agent.

Please find our returning policy in the attachment.

Yours respectfully,
Quentin

All these defective miners popping out day by day makes perfect horror stories for any current or potential buyers. Sucks.

Did you all get the email about bitmain now accepting paypal on everything except S9's? Interesting...

well ya....they wont risk paypal with their newest machines....they r just doin it to unload the massive amount of s7's they prob have sittin around. its too risky to accept paypal for their most expensive miners....what with chargebacks and all that mess.

also i got s9's with both types of controllers. the older v1.8x controllers seem to have beaglebone cards but the v1.9x dont seem to have an addon controller so looks like some of my miners r old controllers. i also dont like the controller bouncin around like it does....it rattles more than the boards do. it might be a good idea to hit the 2 corners of the miner with a drop of hot glue so it stays planted in place because if the 2 rubber feet on the bottom slide out that controller will touch the metal case causing shorts. all thos extra work so they save 4 whole screws?? seems pretty dinky to me....

to those that want lower temps pm me and i can sell u some lets to stand ur miners up vertically....they run cooler that way.

I searched but there are sooo many pages
What are the temp limits ?

Based on bitmain installation guide:
Chip max temp 115
Board max temp 80

So:
The board max of 80 means shoot for under 75
The chip max of 115 means shoot for under 105

Based on what I see for chip temps with a PCB temp around 70 I would think the chip would go much higher than 115 with the PCB at 80.

Probably true, but I wonder if 115C is just what silicon can safely handle.
It reminds me of Spondoolies Sp20 where 115C "on chip" was fine, 120 yellow, 125 red and throttling begun (automatically).

So they take PayPal now

But not on the s9....

Please note:
Bitmain is currently testing payments with Paypal. If you are using PayPal to pay for your order, please note the following before proceeding:
1.We only support Paypal to Paypal payments. You have to register with Paypal to be able to use this feature.
2.You can pay for only one order using PayPal. You can NOT pay for a second order using PayPal until Bitmain decides to expand the use of Paypal
3.The order can only contain 1 unit of the each product type. For example:
The order CAN have 3 items in total: 1 AntRouter R1, 1 Antminer S7 and 1 PSU.
The order can NOT have more than 1 AntRouter R1 or Antminer S7 or 1 PSU.
