Topic: Innosilicon releases A9 Zmaster 50ksol/s Equihash miner at 620W - page 5. (Read 45641 times)

I bought a couple more at 3K each and am waiting for delivery from a US vendor. If you order direct you must expect a 25% tariff and customs duty ($150.00 the last two I ordered from China before the tariffs kicked in).

There are no A9 "lemons" that I have heard about but there are batches that only hash at 45k sols.

new price for january delivery, 2500 USD. cmon inno...still wayyyyy overpriced

That's tough. I think 45 would be considered in spec. Did you read through much here yet? there's a lot of work getting these things hashing well, not so say lemons don't exist.

Innosilicon is STILL dumping their lemon A9 miners - pretending to sell the real deal for full price.
I know, ordering another Equihash miner by the middle of October was not the smartest move.
But I already owned one A9 ZMaster and I was really impressed by the results. So I believed that I could do more than just make my money back.
With settings to performance plus the machine reached about 40kSol/sec, sometimes 45
Confronting Sales and Support team I requested the complete exchange or at least a partial refund.
Denial was Innosilicon's answer:
Thanks for letting me know your concern. But I'm sorry that we don't have such batch. And I'm equally sorry that we don't have a refund policy at present

I really wanted to share my experience with everyone of you. I will certainly not buy from Innosilicon again

Hi,
Just as an addition to my previous post about not being able to set the performance parameters on the webpage, I've now set these manually in cgminer.conf.

Oh bit of background - I've been getting loads of HW errors, in excess of 10% of accepted shares, which is why I'm trying to get rid of them, as its hugely impacting on performance.

"api-listen": true,
    "api-port": "4028",
    "api-allow": "R:0/0,W:127.0.0.1",
    "noauto":true,
    "T1P||1": "1250",
    "T1P||2": "1250",
    "T1P||3": "1250",
    "T1VID1": "166",
    "T1VID2": "166",
    "T1VID3": "166",
    "A1Fanspd": "50",
    "A1Fanmode": "0"

All the errors I'm getting are the same, and no one board is worse than another. Plus this happening across all 4 of our A9's.

Hello 4ndy,

Hi,
Anyone having problems with the latest firmware release with regards to the peformance page on the website ? I can't get it to change away from Factory. It allows me to move the slider, and it seems to go through the motions of tuning, but keeps resetting back to Factory.

It used to work fine until I upgraded to the October firmware release.

It is the PSU's that are loud on the A9's rather than the units themselves but it depends how hot you run them. My fans run at 25% speed at the factory setting and the loudness is probably in the middle range of the rigs you mentioned.

Hi,
How loud is the innosilicon compared To the Z9mini or to a quiet baikal x10?

Many thanks in advance

Latency increases stales if very high

"live" latency's for alot of miningpools:
https://investoon.com/mining_pools/


Not as important at prohashing.com as with other miningpools.

Read "help"-section at prohashing.com about being paid for parts of "late"-work among other things.

try prohashing.com and compare!

you will not get that memoryproblem using them !

http://www.innosilicon.com/html/parts-fan/index.html

I would like to stock a couple of sets of spare fans for my A9's.

Which model fans should I be looking for please?

AS I said..
CHECK your earnings and COMPARE BECAUSE if you convert to BTC or any other it will be INSTANTANIOUSLY and PERHAPS board 1 will ASLO deliver HIGHER then 10KSols/s and whats the END RESULT compared to now !?!?

I really do NOT care if you complain and given an alternative you chose NOT to test it out ! ! !

Don't waste my time!

Thanks for your instructions for me performance or performance+ are the same both of them set mhz to 1248 and voltage to 170
and prohashing takes high fee 4.99%!! or isn't more profitability then nicehash or mining directly to pool?

Try running on prohashing.com
create account and set it up to payout in BTC or whatever you have today and/or want.
do the following and compare results with earnings today.

Install one of the latest firmware's with speedsetting "performace+" available !

restore using factory reset

choose "performance+" in speed settings

it could be wise to try and set fans to 30% to get temps down for board 1

Info on howto do all this should be earlier in this thread.

good luck!

Known problem.  Use a miner control program, like HiveOS, or set up a cron job to have it automatically reboot every 24 hours.

Please copy and paste your whole system panel. It should look like this:

I moved yesterday to another pool to mine zcash things look more stable and avg hashrate is around 49.5 kh but "chain0" still has high number of HW.

these error happened frequently!!
