I'm logging my experience with a Z9 Mini and tracking the overheads versus revenues:

 - 44% of breakeven reached after 58 days (& 1/3 of the hash power).
 - DIY silencer works surprisingly well.

I'm curious if it will work on prohashing.com if you get a chance if you could test that please.
Yes, it's a bit of a walk, not gone

Tonight Luxor stopped working. There are no statistics, but it is connected. Any more have this problem?

I'm mining Zencash, Decred, SIA and Hyperspace on Luxor and no problem at all

what zen rewards have you been getting with a z9 mini on luxor pps pool?

Pool operator from BitPoolMining here, we have added BTCP and ZCL to our pool.  Pool fee is 0.5%.  ZEN will be released later this week.

I would kindly like to request for someone to test for asic support on our BTCP, ZCL and KMD pools so that OP can list us as supported, I will pay out an appropriate reward for anyone willing to test these pools.  Our HUSH pool has been verified and listed on OP's main post in this thread.

For general information, what coin are you mining right now with your Z9 mini ? ZEN, ZCL, ZEC ?  Cool
I have been been (only) mining ZEC. This is the main reason I have Z9 minis. I will switch to KMD if (doubt it) Zcash forks in late Fall.

Is nicehash still not working with the Z9 mini?

as far as we know, it's still not working with high rejects and low hashrates. y not give it another go and report back?

I will try it later and you will get my Feedback asap

Sorry to burst your bubble, but you are creating false readings and you are putting stress on the unit.

 There are 4 chips on each board and  3 x boards, total of 12 chips, the sensor is on the last chip to the rear bottom of each board, the other 3 chips on the board are at the front near the fan, if you reverse the fan the sensored chip is getting cold air first and the other 3 chips on the board are getting hotter air, also the senor pcb is getting fresh air first, not good scenario for the 3 unsensord chips which is now hotter than the sensored chip and the fan is not activating to their real temps.

Normally they are always cooler than the sensored chip and have no need to be monitored.

Cheers.

Thank you for this very important information.

Cheers!

may be you should post it on z9 general topics https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3509006.1480 not on this pool/fork topics.

IMO ...also not an expert
considering
- current thermodynamics law
- chipe temp measurement is not 100% accurate (may be close)
- i do not know the placement of measurement sensor
- other things
you might want to (DWYOR)
overclock it more... I believe the stable oc is now at 15-17...you might get 20 (or burn it before you get to 20) ...by deceive the temp sensor
but again.. I just tempting your couriosity, and other who has spare/experimental unit at home... Grin in case you do..post it ..will you ..on generic z9 mini talk  Grin Grin
I ve read somewhere in the forum ..he/she has fried his/hers z9 ..most likely by OC it (sorry forgot the detail)
The point is ..consider the risk..

nevertheless its very interesting discovery

To burn the miner from OC must be extreme, I have 12 of them and accidentially got cooling for the room shut off twice, they got too hot and shut off during the night but after a reset they all worked just fine.....and that was as hot as they can get unless you put em in a fire lol Wink

Guys it's pretty fast to just test it. If you won't, I will when I get home.
Some fan designs work better this way.

It works, i am seeing about 5 degree drop in temperature.

Those readings are working against physics and definitely not accurate.


Not necessarily. The difference between the efficacy of push or pull would be determined by the design and layout of chips/hot spots as well, not simply direction.

I have a Z9 mini myself and seen the inside, there is no way for an exhaust fan to be more efficient than an intake fan, placed either side of the Z9 mini.
Pulling air out of Z9 mini is like placing a dense fabric air filter in front of the intake, restricting the airflow and reducing the efficiency.

Whats the difference between pushing and pulling air through the same space?

The fan on Z9 mini is both High static pressure and High CFM.

In push configuration the fan pulls in air from the open with nothing resisting and allows more air to push the heat away from the heatsinks.
When you set the fan to pull air out of the Z9 mini, the components inside cause blockage which slows the fan down.

Pull or Push configuration on High static pressure and high CFM fans should produce similar results.



thank you for your reply. Like i said, i'm no expert but i am seeing lower temps and slower fan speed so its quieter and cooler now.
