Seems like January 10-20 batch sold out. Anyone who was following them can guess when the next patch will be available?

check every hour on the hour  if there are cancels you can buy one today.

My guess is you will wait a while for a full batch but there will be some cancels today.

anyone send wires for the miners to bitmain?

on the order page, it says: Choose "PAY ALL FEES" when you wire payment

i dont see that on my wire processing page in my online banking. where is this option or do i have to go into the bank and manually do the wire there to have fees paid on my end?

Just add few more $ to the amount or go to the bank. I usually add 15$ more and most of the time the fees were 13$. Once the fees were 35$ and they asked me to cover the balance with bitcoin.

Are the EVGA SuperNOVA 1600 G2 80+ GOLD, 1600W PSU's going to be overkill for use with the S9?  I realize they are triple the price of the
APW3++ PSU's, but they come with a 10 year warranty.  My thought is that it's one less thing that has to be shipped back to Bitmain, if it fails.

I could buy 3 APW3++ PSU's for the price of the one mentioned above and just have spares, but if they are only going to last a year, I'd rather go with something that has a 10 year warranty.

I don't think I have much of a choice on the Antminer S9, because there is nothing else like it on the market.  That's just a fact that I'm beginning to understand that I'm going to have to accept. 

I dont see any reason to buy such an expensive psu. The AWPW3+ Is good and reliable for an honest price. Maybe in 2-3 years you will need other types of power sources, why spend so much on EVGA SuperNova?

They can be used in regular computers, but imo I also think the AWP3+ is a decent PSU. It's probably going to be useful as long as miners use 6 plug connectors and you can use it for GPUs, but if you're using an EVGA, you can also power an entire GPU rig with the 24pin connector, molex, SATA, etc. The EVGA psu is based off of a Super Flower design so it is pretty quality, though.

Are the EVGA SuperNOVA 1600 G2 80+ GOLD, 1600W PSU's going to be overkill for use with the S9?

We use 1600 G2 Titanium's (and a few Platinums) for all the S9's in farm. We have about 105 of them. What I like about them is the 10 year warranty, though we have never had to use it. We have some that have been running 24/7/365 for three years on 3 generations of gear. We have never had a single issue or a minute of downtime with any of them. As the price of them had risen, we could probably sell them all for equal too or even more than we paid for them. They run on either 120v or 208-240v. We can run any miner with them. We can use them on our GPU rigs. They will run anything we have on any circuit. I expect them to run the next generation of gear as well.

They are overkill for sure. We did try 12 of the BitMain PSU's, back over the summer when 1600's were backordered so badly, but had a couple fail after installing them. The lesson is that BitMain's PSU's are probably intended to have a lifespan of 12-18 months so they are more or less disposable, but are cheap enough to keep a few spares around.

Soooo i saw some post on reddit - Someone was complaining that Bitmain didn't sent them PSU even if they did make same order Miner+PSU. Someone replied on it and said that they sent 2 of those in 2 different shipments... Is any of this true? Can someone please answer, Did anyone had problem like this? With common sense i am expecting for shipment to arrive both at the same time, is that how they work? Or is really 2 different shipment?

they  will be in separate boxes.

the s-9  comes in its own box as does the psu.

most of the time they come on the same day.  good luck






I am still waiting on shipping for my orders.

I have 4 s-9's on order

2 for nov
1 for dec
1 for jan

All lot of whiners on the Forum today....
So I take it you have never ordered anything through the mail/internet before?
Apparently to some folks this will be an earth shattering epiphany: More often than not, items are shipped separately....

Yea i understand that they are shipped separately, but i don't want to be in same cae, S9 received and PSU not... Won't have PSU to turn it up then... Just asking in advance because there are a lot of experienced members here... That is not whining that is looking for advice...

[leowonderful]

You can buy a server grade PSU and a breakout board plus cables for an easy power up of the miner, and they usually don’t cost a whole lot and are usually 80+gold/platinum certified. The APW3/APW5s resell for a good amount and they can be used for future projects at all. More than likely Bitmain probably sold more than they actually had or shipping delays.

For the latest batches you will not receive the PSUs at the same time as the Miners.  You will probably end up waiting a couple of weeks between receiving the Miners and receiving the PSUs

I just got 11 more s9's the 14th/s batch and man are these things having issues.

just get them on ebay or amazon for $229.00 i saw a lot listing from reputable sellers. Why ppl think it is double price no is not 115 price and wait 2 months i paid when btc was 4.6k and even my friend keep says i ll give you $50 it is not make sense as a business if you are crypto buyer seller or etc,
better than waiting for shitmain jihan dictator.
just run your miner and sell the one on the way or keep them as a backup you ll need.
I really can not undesrtand how keep miner just for $229 who knows when shitmain will ship.
i bought 36 apw3++ they come with 3 different ship each btwn about 1 week so shitmain will sent however they want.
Ohhh support ticket forget that at shitmain.
good luck
