Title: Best firmware for Antminer S9 and S9i Post by: minefarmbuy on June 29, 2018, 01:51:30 PM Just wondering what firmware is recommended for the autotune s9 and s9i (if there's a difference even).
I have 13.5 th/s s9 form march batch and a a recent 14th/s s9i The s9 is running 13.7 solidly but the s9i is just a shade under 14th/s not that i'm upset about that. Appreciate the input and help, thank you.

Never had s9i but I think they are both the same. I found a modded antminer s9 firmware here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4513567.0 and according to the thread this firmware can improve the hashing rate of s9 but expect for more power and higher temp of the miner and also it could avoid your miners warranty so if you are not sure to use this firmware and your miners is running fine then don't change anything and stay with the current firmware. About s9i you can try the method here to overclock the miner but this guide is for s9 but you can try to apply it on s9i here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3239820.0 and it can be also useful on your s9 autotune firmware without reflashing your firmware.

Thanks again for the info and advice.
