Title: S9 13.5 TH vs. 14 THs
Post by: ccgllc on February 15, 2018, 06:32:36 PM
Does anyone know where/how the firmware determines if an antminer is a 14TH/sec vs. a 13.5TH/sec box?

Is it one of the jumpers on the control card?  A setting in some configuration file?

It FEELS like the firmware finds that information somewhere, then autotunes the available cards to come as close as possible.  If it autotuned each card to its maximum, I would think we would see a spectrum of different speeds as "ideal" ones.

It runs the Auto-tune on each card and adds the three together for the total THs. Faster hashboards will give faster miner, not firmware.

There are default settings in the PIC controller on each hashboard and the firmware extrapolates the expected speed from there.

Thank you!
