Antminer Z9 non-mini (Biggie/Maxi?)

[Biodom]

Anybody got it?
I believe that shipment was indicated Sept 1-Sept 10.
I see that it is nominally 42Ksols.
Can anybody describe performance, OC potential, etc. ?

I assume that it is not necessarily the same as Z9 mini multiplied fourfold.

I guess bitmain is always delayed when delivering miners out so your estimation date wouldn't exact time.

The hashrate might be lower to 40k sol/s  or above and I think if what specs posted on their website should be the same as what is there.

As my personal experience with their product, S1, and S2 (it's a too old experience?  ). Yes, 40 K Sol/s might the default hashrate (as on their release said 40.8 k Sol/s +/- 5%) it may be reached with OC (more reasonable), Or maybe 40.8 K Sol/s + 2-3% (in OC mode) but it will produce more noise and heat than default, the default has noisy enough.

Well Z9 mini (batch 1) was overclockable by 50-60%.
I doubt that this would be the case with Z9 [maxi], but expect some potential.
One thing of note, they rec APW7 for it, which is 1800W.

At default Z9 maxi is at 1150W, so 1800W is needed to have a room for potential overclock,or, at least, this is my read.

Yeah, I've also read something similar on Reddit, someone been doing OC on the Z9 (mini) to 12.5 - 16.5 K Sol/s with high temps (it may go above 70 - it seems without cooler).

If it is about potential, might yes, 50% increase on OC mode can be reached, but sooner or later it will cause problems, let say its fan, or maybe the board and also other parts. I can't imagine how noisy is it.

Yeah, makes sense, but I think they just want to sell their product.

Still no shipment indication.
Was it shipped to anyone in US?

Nothing yet on my Z9s, ordered on 7/26, I think.

[Biodom]

I am sorry, but it looks like they are working to send out B1 on Sep 10 (last day) and B2 on Sep11 (first day for B2), lol.
That would be something.
Seriously, WTF they are waiting for?
It is Sept 7 in China already!

[carbsncaffeine]

Ordered to the US through UPS on July 14th, still havent received any shipping information

Can a member with a high trust post a link to the may firmware , bitmain has taken it down.

I received my z9 mini yesterday I live in the EU. I want to started and then my psu wont start up 
I checked it yesterday it was working perfectly and when I need the psu the most it go's broken.

Z9 is delayed by 5-7 days (that's what they promise).

That's it. The end of the line for my purchases of their products.

Would be nice to hear exactly how much import tax you are paying for that delivery. I think it varies from country to country but I don't think it's that much, maybe $25 or something.

I assume that it is not necessarily the same as Z9 mini multiplied fourfold.

I kind of assumed it would be, it's just a couple of z9 minis together right? Everyone was saying they were getting nearly 16ksols on z9 mini overclocked.

That's it. The end of the line.

So you done mining overall or just boycotting bitmain, there has been other competitors coming out. Will you start buying elsewhere?

[cryptohero2]

Man with all these new algo ASIC miners coming out us old GPU miners are getting killed with difficulty level and no profits now

Dear Bitmain Customer,

Thank you for your valued support of Bitmain.

We write to advise of a slight delay for your Antminer Z9 order. We estimate that it will arrive a maximum of five to seven days later than planned. We extend our sincere apologies for any inconvenience that this may cause and are working behind the scenes to reduce this timescale.

As a token of our appreciation for your loyalty, we have issued you a $90 USD coupon which may be redeemed against future Bitmain or Antminer purchases. (This will arrive separately in approximately five days. We will also send you an email with terms and conditions and explaining how to redeem the coupon.)

Thank you. If you have any questions, please contact us via support.bitmain.com.

Best regards,

Bitmain Sales Support team.

Things happen, but $90 on a $3300/each purchase is a fscking joke.

This will be my last bitmain purchase, also.

I'm losing the equivalent of $120-150 USD/day not having these running, or extrapolating out for their "5-17 days" plus the missing 10 days (1-10th inclusive), that's $2250 at the low end. Grrr.

Some movement. Got email that they started shipping.
Will see how long does it take.

Please, not a f-g word on this thread about mini (unless you could put mini OC software on maxi), from this point on it is all about Z9 Biggie/maxi.

Anybody already installed Z9 (biggies) on the west coast?
Can it OC? The only remedy for a 27.6% tariff.
