Not only possible, the auto-tune almost makes sure of it! Wink

The rated speed is the sum of the boards in the miner, the boards alone don't know if they're in a 13.5 vs 14 version.
Do it, many members here swap boards around to keep a miner fully operational.

Awesome, thank you for the reply, that completely answers my question as all of my units are auto-tune!

I've searched and couldn't find a clear answer to this.

I own several S9s most are 13.5TH, but I have a 14TH version as well. I have had a couple of hash boards fail and chose to break the seal/void the warranty and send the individual boards off to BitmainWarranty for repair out of pocket and run the miners down a board vs sending the whole units to Bitmain for warranty service (hoping this is the smartest decision financially). BitmainWarranty has now spent almost 2 months attempting repairs with no results or even the ability to tell me if the boards can be fixed...but I digress.

My question is can I run different frequency hash boards in the same miner? If so, am I better off putting the 14TH boards in a 13.5TH unit or can I attempt to put one of the better performing 13.5TH boards in the 14TH unit? Basically I want to consolidate my units so I don't have several units running down a board. If anyone can provide their experience with this or what my best course of action is it would be much appreciated!
