Antminer Z9 non-mini (Biggie/Maxi?)

[efudd]

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

In theory mine land tomorrow east coast. $1894 for 2 earlier today in tariffs...

I'll try when they land.

I have had enough of this nonsense.
Almost $3.8 K tariff+fees on four Z9.
This plus $14.5K on Z9+PSU itself means that I am out of $18.3 K before they even started hashing.

$18.3K buys 165.5 ZEC without a penny spent on electricity making the whole affair foolish because four Z9 would NEVER make this amount.
Fooled by Zooko, Bitmain, etc.
Fool me once...

No more orders of any kind, especially from China.

And let's suppose you want to sell them on ebay. your minimum price is around 5200 just to break even... 3500 for miner+shipping+PSU, 950 for tariff, 3% for paypal fees, 10% for ebay fees.

... or maybe they overclock to 100kSol?

Yup, screwed.... I mean, look at the opportunity to mine! Buy mine from ebay today!

WTF is this shitola?
"A mechanical failure has delayed delivery.
We're adjusting plans to deliver your package as quickly as possible."

They got payment several months ago
They got tax paid.
Where is my stuff!?

What did I pay tariffs for???

Exact same thing with my UPS ones.
My DHL order is awaiting customs clearance.

Sigh.

In theory DHL order arrives tomorrow.
UPS order is delayed yet again.

*EDIT*: Called UPS and apparently this is delayed due to "plane damage" -- so good news, BITMAIN will get a refund on the shipping.

Mine are running.  Overclock ideas?  As said in other thread: Turbo mode is 550m and runs about 48-50KH solid avg after running multiple z9's for 3 hours.  I feel like if we can push these to 600 or 650m we def. have a solid 60kh miner on hands.  The inspect element does not work as I just tried it on mine as well.

1) ssh in, cd /config, make a backup opy of cgminer.conf, edit cgminer.conf, change "bitmain-freq" value to something else... save file.
2) Run "/etc/init.d/d cgminer.sh restart"
3) Profit... hopefully.

I am not used to ssh as much as other people, anyone try this to verify if it works on the z9?  They blocked saving this on the batch 3 mini's I heard.

While I didn't have a batch3, I think people just didn't know what they were doing... in theory I can test tomorrow when my DHL shipment arrives if someone else doesn't beat me to it.

Anybody seen the following:

In "turbo" mode when i adjust fan to a static 80 or 85%, miner does not show any hashing speed on multiple window refreshes (yes, I waited 5-10 min for the initial load).
Most likely, the machine still hashes, but i don't see anything shown on the panel.
I decided to try static speed just to make sure that i can load modded firmware (efudd or smartass111), but now not sure that it is worth a try.

Does modded soft have "balanced" and "turbo" or just a pulldown menu for various speeds?

In other words, is there a pulldown menu or you enter mhz by some other means?

Biodom, are you using Awesomeminer to manage your miner by chance? There are some conditions in awesome miner as it manages these where the status page will no longer work and just be blank, yet the data can be returned from the API.

As far as the modified, my current version supports 500-650 in 5Mhz increments and also allows selection of 651-700 in 1Mhz increments all via the web page/pulldown.
