Title: Whatsminer H616 CB6V10 Firmware
Post by: Toucan9685 on September 09, 2025, 07:07:06 AM
Hello, community!

I am looking for a newest official control board firmware for whatsminer.

The reason: After replacing the control board, the device heats up (82-84 for each board), and coolers don’t increase speed enough.

Does anyone have these:

H616-CB6V10-20250703.11 or H616-CB6V10-20250701.11

Only 20250321 is available on their website for download.

82–84 C on Whatsminers is normal. MicroBT's fan curve targets ~83–85 C on the hashboards. Fans won't ramp hard until a board goes past that target or the inlet temp rises. If your hashrate isn't throttling and the chips stay < 90 C, nothing is "wrong". You can test by forcing a fixed fan speed with WhatsMinerTool (Set Fans --> e.g. 90%) to see temps drop.

Very Important: Don't flash random images. Control-board images are hardware-specific (H616 + CB6V10) and the wrong file can brick the controller. If the public download page only shows 20250321, newer builds like 20250701/03 are usually beta/region-gated and only provided by MicroBT support.


You might want to try these steps:

In the miner UI check both fan RPMs are detected and connectors are seated (after a board swap it's easy to mis-seat a fan).
"Restore/Factory" the miner once to clear any mismatched settings after the controller replacement.
Use WhatsMinerTool to try fixed fan for a few minutes; if temps respond, your cooling is fine and the normal curve is just aiming for ~85 C.
If you still want a newer firmware, open a ticket on support.microbt.com with the miner S/N, model (H616), controller HW (CB6V10), and current FW. They'll give you the correct package or push it OTA.

Your temps sound within spec. Only get firmware directly from MicroBT, and only the image matched to H616-CB6V10.

Thank you for such a detailed answer!

Interesting thing is that I have 9 identical devices, but only one of them works above 80 degrees on all boards.
And it started after replacing the control board.

We will try to Restore factory settings. And try to speed up the coolers in manual mode.

Thank you! 🤝🏼 🫡

Can you help to find how to adjust FanSpeed in WhatsMinerTool, please.  I don’t have access, but my colleagues can't find it.
