Update: So the firmware I posted earlier apparently has a hidden dev fee as pointed out by another user here. Have updated the title accordingly. Works fine though.Original post:
I recently purchased firmware offering full voltage/frequency control and claiming to have no dev fee from ebay. Sharing it here for those who may be interested.
NOTE: I've used this for about a week now and see no issues on five of my S9's. I can't guarantee that there's no "hidden" dev fee but prima facie - there doesn't appear to be any.
I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR MINERS. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.What I achieved:
1) Consistent reduction in voltage consumption by 15% or so. About 150w per miner give or take.
2) A marginal reduction in hash rate too. I was averaging about 14 TH/s per miner per day using standard bitmain firmware. With this firmware, though there is a reduction in power consumption, my hashrate is about 13.85 average over 7 days.
3) Note that my intention was NOT to overclock. I just wanted to reduce power consumption.
OVERCLOCKING IS DANGEROUS. USES MORE THAN 1600W SO YOU'LL NEED MORE POWERFUL POWER SUPPLIES.First download link from mega.nz - free account so download rate limited:
