Cant post images yet but at least you can click the link and look for yourself.



Very Nice!

36 blocks?

SHA256 multi-algo pool?

You need to compare CKPool to Nicehash.  You will see that Nicehash is not so Nice on the wallet.  Check out some stats at:  http://organofcorti.blogspot.com/?view=flipcard

Multi-algo even though I can only mine SHA-256 Coins nicehash is mining alt coins behind my back "FIGURE OF SPEECH" and putting the profit in there pocket.

I am running mine at the downclock freq of 525  until it moves to the solar array

looks pretty good.  my ac amps are pretty steady at 5.1  ac volts are 240 = 1224 watts  my psu rates at 92.6%  so 1224 x .926 =  1133 watts dc for 11285 gh or

 just about .1004 watts  per gh rate. at dc level vs .1084 watts per gh   at ac level



i added a correction the hw rate is 0.0001%

S9 B4 - So far working as advertised.  I am impressed.  One of the few miners from Bitmain that hashes at it's advertised rate out of the box.

The S9 still isn't listed on their Chinese site. Apparently only "Westerners" are.

this temperature is ok for S9 batch 2 or I need to lower down the frequency or to set fans to manually ?

Those Temps are acceptable

Nice temps!

this temp is perfect or I need to do something to lower down it ?

Perfection  for s-9 temps is not important.  Good numbers are fine  and your numbers are good.  Don't worry be happy Grin Grin

thanks phil

I just made another order yesterday.  You are either in or out in this business; even through the negative speculation.  Many people are holding off is a sign to me to buy!  The early chips like my S7s were/are my most stable configuration with overclocking capability and stable cooling.  I do not overclock all of my miners, some are underclocked, but you have to find the sweet spot for each miner.  There are those that speculate on the basis of the BTC staying the same....I say this is incorrect.  I believe that there will be a dramatic increase over the next six months.  

My 2 cents.

I wonder if they sorted their chips on this first chip run and are adjusting the miners to work with the chip run.
B1 had the best chips and they are working through the rest of the batch. Just a thought. Not my area of expertise.
My B4 has arrived and started up. No hard data yet though.

I wonder why the default freq on these is only 550.  Same number of chips as previous batches, so no doubt the same board.  Why lower the freq and thereby the hashrate?  Are these QA failures on some level?

 Yield and manufacturing variation on a very NEW manufacturing process node, I'd guess.
 Batch 1 seemed to have some MAJOR issues with not being able to meet it's specs on a lot of units - similar to the early S7 batches, then they redesigned the hashboards on the S7 to use a buck and fewer chips running at higher voltage, thus managing to meet the hashrate spec while eating noticeably more power....

I got a B3. It was kind of a sweet spot because BTC was at a high point, and I got it with enough time on this side of the halving to be significant. I actually have a chance to ROI it in BTC terms.

But the other batches have not made sense. In fact I just ran the numbers on B5 and it's worse than B3.

These are going to have to come down in BTC price terms before I'll get any more of them. I expect that will happen soon after the halving.

Or maybe monkeys will fly out of my butt and someone will start to compete with Bitmain. That would help drive prices down.

Whatever happened to BW's miner, for example? They been mining with them and were supposed to offer them to the public last month.
