Hello everyone. I have ran into a problem with my S9, so like I usually do I make a video. Basically what happened is after a successful night of mining, I went to power on my miner this morning and it wouldn't log onto my pool. I believe the pool was down. I tried once again after the pool was up with no success. So I reset the miner, installed new firmware and I was able to begin mining. Well now I'm stuck at a low hash rate and cant figure out why. If anyone could help or give insight it would be really appreciated! Thank you!

Here are my options for firmware, which I am unaware of which to use.
Antminer S9 - Firmware
FileName Description
Antminer-S9-all-201611290613-autofreq-user.tar.gz
* Support different frequency for each chips
* Use a higher voltage for hashboard initialization, to make chips work better in low temperature
* Attention: do not use this fw on old S9 miners with fixed frequency.
s9-20160715-550M.tar.gz
* Support S9 with fixed frequency 550M
s9-20160715-600M.tar.gz
* Support S9 with fixed frequency 600M
s9-20160715-650M.tar.gz
* Support S9 with fixed frequency 650M
