As a precaution, always do this porcedures at your own risk.

Hey guys, just find a solution for this issue that was driving me insane like a lot of people with the same problem.
I have two Antminer S9, one is 13.0 TH and one is 13.5 TH, both are Autofreq, the issue at hand is that the miner goes up 100% maximum RPM on both fans every 10-20 seconds, and that its really anoying specially with those with miners at home. I just figured out a solution taking a tread with the Antminers S7 that gave me the same solution when i needed to shut down the beep when the internet was down!, for those who had S7's you could notice that this beep was anoying from hell!. But some guy found the solution to shut down the beep by modifying the HTML code in the browser, No linux, no programming, just FN+F12 and follow some steps and the secret menu options will display. Just like the old miners S5, S7 that had this options.

Let's start!

First open your browser in this example i will use Firefox.

Interesting, will this disable autotune? I like the idea of fixing the fan so it stops cycling, but I want to leave autotune on.

It wont disable the autotune mode. Just enable in the hidden funtions of the fan control and leave the freq just as it is.

I played with these hidden settings also.  The did seem to affect the intake fan but not the primary (and louder) outtake one.  Bitmain seems to have written the autotune firmware to ignore the fan % setting on one fan (and most of the other hidden options).  That is probably why they hid the options!

The intake fan is the one that spins faster, the exhaust side is the slower one.

Stop buying industrial miners, running them at home, and then complaining about the noise.

Hello have you followed the proceedures on the images i published ? you have first to modify the html code in the miner configuration window when the % appears yoy put the number and then click save in order to save the changes.

I'm developing a liquid cooled S9. I need a way to unplug the fans as they are not needed and I don't want to power them. Any suggestions welcome.

Easier way

Add these line to /config/bmminer.conf using winscp set connection file protocol SCP

"bitmain-fan-ctrl" : true,
"bitmain-fan-pwm" : "90",

Then restart bmminer logging SSH using putty

/etc/init.d/bmminer.sh restart

When finished fans will run at 90% or whatever % bitmain-fan-pwm is set to.

Mines at Kano.is best profit in the world!

Thanks so much. This may solve my problem by setting to 0%. Hopefully, the missing fans will not cause an alarm if set to zero.

i'm not familiar with winscp and it's been decades since I used putty. I'll try to muddle through.

Please also delete the following line, then the options will appear in the panel.

update:
It works great on my S9 13.5T Auto-tune miner.  The interface does indeed set both fans (front and back) based on percentage.  I've played around with the speed from 60% to 90% to optimize power draw vs hashrate.  75% is my butter zone!

Thanks for this!

When you use this option, don't you also have to choose a frequency?  What happens if you use this to set a frequency on an auto-tune S9?

I'm not sure... I didn't enable that option, since I figured autotune would over-ride it.  Anybody else try it?

This works perfectly! I havent tempered with frequenzy i only changed the percentage of which my S9 works, i put it at 100%(since im using some kind of box with sound isolation and temperature got quite high around 87C). and at the moment(2h of working there were no problems.

Very Interesting, thanks for sharing, could you post the page print of that mod. I wasn't sure to mess with the freq. because all my all my miners are autotune.

When you set the freq to xxx MHZ does the 3 boards set to the same fqcy?

Thanks.
