Hey taserz...thanks for doing this!

I have a mix of old and older S9 miners. One is an 11.85t, one 14t, but most are 13.0-13.5t. I haven't tried your process yet because I have new power supplies coming. They're modified 2450w HP units from Amity Labs in Oregon. I have cheap power in Washington State

My question concerns the oddball miners I have. Is this just trial and error with the overclocking or do you have some specific guidelines for where to start with which machine? I'm eager to try the 920 or 930 packages, but of course I don't want to burn anything up.

Also, were you able to set up the software so each hash board can run a different frequency (mentioned in post 42)? There's some guy selling S9 firmware on eBay that claims to be able to change the frequency per chip! His "dev fee" is 1.8% though...

I've eaten several bags of popcorn watching this thread. A lot of us want this miner to exist so bad! I'm ready to pull the trigger on as many as I can afford. Honestly this thread is the main reason I haven't!

Seriously, thanks guys. I hope you're all wrong, but thanks for your honesty and due diligence.

I have had some communication with them. They have a phone number and office hours. I called that number yesterday and spoke to a person. Unfortunately they didn't have good command of english (of course) so it was difficult. What I did cobble together when I started asking technical questions was that the technical adviser was not in the office right then, and that it would be best to send an email.

In my email correspondence, my replies were similar to those posted above, except for one point. "The prototypes are all running in a bare chasis (sic) with all componants (sic) exposed and so it is impossible to show videos of those without releasing information we are keeping guarded until after we ship batch 1." You could say that this is a good point, but for me it only raises skepticism.

In my reply to Clive, I brought up the points that are causing skepticism, also asking some technical questions. No reply yet. The main point I brought up was that they are supposed to be shipping these units in under two weeks, and they still don't have a machine to photograph? I didn't even get into the five year warranty thing.

I appreciate this thread! Will continue to watch...may have to buy more popcorn though ;-)
