POWER CONTROL OF ASIC MINER

[stigo]

Hi ,

I want to control the power limit of my PSU . I have antminer S9 SE and i tried using the firmware BOS toolbox of BRAIINS but without success ...
Could someone here tell me if it is possible and how to control the power please ?

Thanks

Braiins and a bunch of other firmware providers like HiveOn and vnish don't have images for the S9 SE, so unfortunately no.

So it is possible with other versions of S9 . Did you ever tried to limit the power ?

No, but once you install the Braiins OS+ firmware (I do not think autotuning is available in the open source version) you can go to the settings in the web app located at Mining > Configuration > Autotuning and then adjust the Power Limit setting to a new value in watts. And this setting also appears right after you finish installing Braiins by the way.

You can also install BOS toolbox and then from the command line you run these:

Code:

# from https://docs.braiins.com/os/plus-en/Setup/2_advanced.html#bosbox-configure
bos-toolbox.bat config --user root load listOfMiners.csv

#edit the CSV file using a spreadsheet editor (e.g. Office Excel, LibreOffice Calc, etc.)

bos-toolbox.bat config --user root -p admin --change-password save_apply listOfMiners.csv

and look for a setting called psu_power_limit in the autotuning section or something named like that.

Everyone using Braiins OS+ is limiting the power. There is no speed control, only power limit control. You tell the miner how many watts to use, and the autotuner does the rest.

It works perfectly fine with supported miners. The S9SE is not supported as you have already been told, it is a different machine that has nothing to do with the S9, its closer to the S11 which is also unpopular.

Also, Braiins OS+ is not modded firmware, its built from scratch, so there is no way to compare it. Think wiping Windows and installing Linux in your PC.
