Title: Antminer s9 hashing at 9th help Post by: shadowelite on May 10, 2018, 01:49:26 PM Hi guys my s9 been hashing fine at 13.5th for the ladt few months but last night one of the boards has stopped hashing
Theres no x and the board is showing up I swapped psu’s with a working one but it only fix’s the prob temp starts at 13.5 th then goes back down to 9th Any ideas? https://imgur.com/gallery/pFF9s0t Thanks Title: Re: Antminer s9 hashing at 9th help Post by: NotFuzzyWarm on May 10, 2018, 02:45:36 PM Don't suppose that you tried any of the usual troubleshooting things like moving one end the ribbon cable feeding the bad board to a different board to find out if it is the controller or hash board? If the same channel stays bad - is controller or ribbon cable that's bad. If problem moves to the other channel board is shot.
Oh, and don't bother redacting worker names/addresses. That info is useless to hackers. Afraid someone is going to point their miners at it and throw more hash rate there for you?

I have tried moving the ribbon cables but not disconnected any of them Will c if i can swap the ribbon cables then Title: Re: Antminer s9 hashing at 9th help Post by: shadowelite on May 10, 2018, 03:11:02 PM Don't suppose that you tried any of the usual troubleshooting things like moving one end the ribbon cable feeding the bad board to a different board to find out if it is the controller or hash board?

Swapped ribbons and same board is showing no hashing but has frequency and ideal ghz just not hashingOh, and don't bother redacting worker names/addresses. That info is useless to hackers. Afraid someone is going to point their miners at it and throw more hash rate there for you? So its could b controller ?

You have already stated one of the boards drops out, if you move cables around and it still drops out that means its the hashing board not the controller with the problem. Title: Re: Antminer s9 hashing at 9th help Post by: shadowelite on May 10, 2018, 03:26:04 PM Ok so i have a dead board then?
Thought maybe it would have xxxx to indicate its dead or just not show up Title: Re: Antminer s9 hashing at 9th help Post by: fanatic26 on May 10, 2018, 03:31:39 PM Bad boards can present themselves in all sorts of ways depending on how they fail. You can look in the kernel log to see specifically what went wrong with it in most cases.

If after moving it reports chain 6 or 7 as bad and chain 8 now good then yes is a bad hash board. Title: Re: Antminer s9 hashing at 9th help Post by: shadowelite on May 10, 2018, 03:42:39 PM What i did was remove both ends of ribbon so
Slot 1 hash board 1 cable went into 2 2 went into 3 3 went into 1 If that makes Sence? What i also did was re install firmware Had the latest firmware anyway but once flashed miner started mining fine at 13.5th but after 2 min the board dropped same one as in pic I did not look in the kernal log when the falut first happened but if i look now theres no errors all boards r fine Title: Re: Antminer s9 hashing at 9th help Post by: NotFuzzyWarm on May 10, 2018, 08:22:41 PM What i did was remove both ends of ribbon so So in essence you just moved the hash boards around somewhat confusing the issue. The idea was to swap the signals coming from the ports on the controller to an different board.Slot 1 hash board 1 cable went into 2 2 went into 3 3 went into 1 If that makes Sence?

Or, did the problem follow the board? If it stayed with chain-8 the controller is bad. Title: Re: Antminer s9 hashing at 9th help Post by: shadowelite on May 10, 2018, 08:57:21 PM i now just swapped the ribbons (basically crossed them) at the hashing board end
When i did the middle one and the left one ( nearest to the psu plug on controller board) chain8 still failed So i then swapped middle and first so crossed and a board has failed but failed when i left home So will know when i get home Im not good at explaining things lol Title: Re: Antminer s9 hashing at 9th help Post by: shadowelite on June 07, 2018, 09:48:27 PM Bit of an update
I was running the miner with just chain 6 and 7 and 8 wasnt hashing I have had the miner off for the last 3 weeks and today i turned it back on But before i turned the miner on i took all the hashboards out to c if theres any damage and they look fine This time i only connected and powered on chain 8 the one that wasnt working and to it started hashing fine at 4.5ghz so left it hashing for an hour and workd fine with only 3 hw and tenp at 68 So thought wow it magicaly fixed it self Powered off Connected chain 6 and 7 Powered on 13.5gh wow Worked for 15 min and back down to 9gh with chain 8 not having any hashing u der gh/s (rt) Surely it cant be the hashboard if it works fine hashing by it self? I tried another psu before and it didnt fix the problem Could it b the controller? Title: Re: Antminer s9 hashing at 9th help Post by: shadowelite on June 08, 2018, 02:43:40 PM Some chips could be failing. Check the chips. How do i check the chips I thought once one chip failed on the hashboard the hole hashboard dies as its a chain or somethibg Plus the hashboard works perfect at full speed when its the only one connected Title: Re: Antminer s9 hashing at 9th help Post by: tim-bc on June 08, 2018, 04:34:57 PM Plus the hashboard works perfect at full speed when its the only one connected Have you tried using a different power supply / power circuit? Usually I've seen that there is a power issue when all the boards work fine individually but not together.Title: Re: Antminer s9 hashing at 9th help Post by: shadowelite on June 08, 2018, 04:40:52 PM Have you tried using a different power supply / power circuit? Usually I've seen that there is a power issue when all the boards work fine individually but not together. Yep also tried a other psu Got a few 1600w ones incl original bitmain which is what im using atm Will try again later with a generic one |
