Bitmain's Released Antminer S9, World's First 16nm Miner Ready to Order

[MinerSRQ]

Quick question about fan speed.

I have an S9 that constantly cycles between 4k and 6k RPMS.   All my other S9s (same firmware, same hardware version, etc.) stay steady at 4k.   It's annoying to hear it spin up to 6k from 4k every few minutes.

Kernal: Linux 3.14.0-xilinx-gb190cb0-dirty #57 SMP PREEMPT Fri Dec 9 14:49:22 CST 2016
Firmware: Fri Jul 21 05:15:25 EDT 2017
Hardware: 16.8.1.3

It's hashing just fine.   All on the same pool, all same settings.  Sitting right next to units that are just fine.

Any ideas?

Thanks for the response - I just did and it's still doing the same thing. 
Firmware: Tue Aug 15 11:37:49 CST 2017
Logic Version: S9_V2.30 (formerly S9V2.23)

I know these things are nosy, and a fan speed of 6,120 is fine, as long as it's constant.  4,440 to 6,120 back to 4,440 every few minutes...

Did anyone get a bitmain 500 USD coupon? I just got one.

Hi, with which order did you get the 500$ coupon? L3, D3 or S9 and which price batch???

Thank you in advance

It doesnt say why. Perhaps it is because 1 of my hashboard isnt working. I already tried their first step. Now, waiting for more news on how to fix.

Niiiiiice

i have 2 hashboards broken(not appearing in status page) on a D3 which i received 1 week ago.

Did you sent it back to china for repair or you just complained in their support page and tried the troubleshooting methods?

My 2 D3s are fine.

I bought 7 S9s so far in total. Only 1 has an issue with 1 hashboard. The rest are ok.
So far, I have done as their support instructed and the one hashboard still does not show. I am waiting for more answers from them on how to fix.
The sad part is that hashboard worked fine for awhile...and then it didnt

I also had my Jan 20 batch ship but am still missing 1 order from Dec 10-20th and 2 orders from Dec 20th - 30th. Weird that they shipped the Jan 20th order early.

my dec 20-31 is yet to ship

WAIT WHAT JAN 21-39 SHIPPED ?

Damn, I can't believe they sold out of S9 in less than a day. I was going to buy some but I didn't have enough time to get bch.

Was this unusual to sell out so fast? How long do Bitmain's batches of S9 usually last before selling out?

Now that Coinbase has enabled BCH, I think you'll see the batches sell out faster.  The last batch took a couple weeks at least.

Oh yea they'll definitely sell out much quicker now that BCH is much easier to get for us.

I also wanted to throw this out there, they do have a repair facility in California. It seems sketchy at first but I sent my L3+ hashboard to them and they shipped me a brand new hash board in 2 weeks. I thought it was actually pretty good service. Sucked that the hash board went out but still.

Is there any way of contacting them? The phone listed in bitmain site seems dead, bitmain site says you have to send the whole miner, if I try to open a repair ticket in bitmain site it asks me for tracking number... Could you share the process you went through to get this fixed? Thanks!

Wat was the problem with the hashboard?

[Sandal_Hat]

Guys, how long does bitmain usually reply to support tickets. My last reply was 24 hours ago and seems it shows last activity 12 hours ago. This means their customer service officer has seen it right? But no reply yet.

How long does it take usualy?

[CrypotoCreanis]

Well today is the 1st day of the official Dec 21-30 batch ship dates. Waiting for that email notification.......

[Sandal_Hat]

Omg, I just got a new problem. Will a restart solve this?
1 of the hashboards is not working on another miner.

Holy CRAP, changing the ethernet cable actually solved it...It is good now. I am not kidding.

No, it didn't, that doesn't make any sense. What you are facing is an intermittent failure. S9 boards failure rate is quite high. Maybe you are lucky and this board fails just once in a while, or it may go bad every other day, or at some point it may die for good. Good luck.

I know how silly it sounds but this worked for me on 2 hashboards on 2 different miners and worked for this fellow here too https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2274299.20

I resetted it multiple times in the past and that didnt work. I upgraded firmware for one of them too and still 1 hashboard missing. I ssh and poweroff, waited and poweron again, changed cable and it worked....

Try it buddy. It may work.

Hi I am having a similar issue my Nov batch s9 worked fine for two days then dropped too 9TH/s by the time I got too it was at 0TH/s...

Hardware version is blank and so is the status tab.

I have a kernel log that may help will go on my phone and upload pics to this post.

https://imgur.com/gallery/jaxJR

Just been looking at my kernel and comparing it to a working one -

Issues

1. ERROR of set pic flash addr:
2. Chain [5] and [6] has no middle temp, use special fix mode
3.bmminer not found
4. Chain [J8] has 0 ASIC

Anyone know anything about these?
Any help will be very much appreciated

Sorry to be a pain and keep posting but I fixed my issue by resetting my router and using a different Ethernet cable

Hope this helps someone

I had the same exact error on my 1st miner and changing ethernet cable worked for me too. I did not restart router.
I restarted my 1st miner countless times in the past. For 2nd miner, I have only restarted once. So, maybe i got lucky on my 2nd miner but I believe it worked for my first. Woodgiins had the same error and same solution as me. Why not just try it man. Cheap possible solution.

Anyways, if something comes up later from this, will update. Hopefully all goes well.
