Bitmain to release S17E 64TH

[taserz]

I should have a firmware for T17 and S17 within a day. There was a bug getting the T17 chips to autotune. Think we got it ironed out and it should hopefully be working. If it works after some testing I will have a thread for the firmware within a day or two.

I am so looking forward to playing with the t17.   will this cover the t17e and t17+?

[taserz]

It will cover T17e as well. At least it should I will double check but it appears the T17e and T17 are the same machine E just better chips from asic lottery. The + models are different machines and won't be supported right off the bat. Early testing shows the ability to downvote up to 25% but I have not yet found the magic number for best performance and th/s yet. Someone will probably beat me to finding the best settings. I am pretty excited for the downclock so I can stop running my pdu's at a stupid high load.

Edit: T17e has more chips and is a different machine so no. Original firmware posted will just work for only T17.

But is there a workaround? Or are you simply stuck with this one power setting?

It seems that @AlecMe found a workaround for T17e which also works for S17e. You can check his guide here.

However, in these 2 images that I posted you can see what you should change and what are the results:

This is how options look for S17e. All I had to do was go inspect elements and change "display:none" to "display:HERE" (I used caps so it can be visible on picture), you can use anything instead of "HERE".

As my pictures still won't show up here even after I tried changing resolutions you will have 2 links bellow with full resolution.

Inspect elements edit: https://imgur.com/a/ITxeDRQ
Result in Miner Configuration: https://imgur.com/a/VNlcVUK

I am yet to test all the options so I still cannot recommend meddling with this.

EDIT:
Using fan control worked without any problems.
Usable %:0-100 but lowest I tried was 30% and as soon as temps reach 78C fans would ramp up to 100% and go back down to 30% until it reaches "Critical Temperature" again. It was annoying at least, and dangers at most as 80C is limit for S17e.

Using different modes didn't do anything noticeable in miner status (will have to check Kernel Log for more data) except the starting speed, on Sleep Mode and Normal Mode it would start as high as 68TH/s and slowly goes down to 66TH/s (sometimes it takes days) and on Low Power, it starts at 65TH/s and slowly goes up to stable 66TH/s.

Changing Voltage does not do anything as it still goes back to its 1850 default.

Increasing Frequency does not do anything as it auto-tunes itself to 438/423/437 (respectively) in my case (yours may vary).

Woah, nice, I was hoping that would work. I got the same problem, but I had T17+ which they want to downgrade from 64 to 58TH/s, I said "no, please go for upgrade to S17+, I will pay difference (in BTC!)". Additionally, $80 difference and 1 month prior shipping would have been a good option for me but I have T17e in that same order, so I really do not know how they plan to do this as I do not want to pay shipping for 2 units separately.

Tho, this was their mail:

Then, can you cancel this order, since you cannot supply the correct item. Apply the dollar value to credit. And I will place future orders.

Update...

Well hell, that certainly sucks!

[PopoJeff]

Should be good now.... in short....
hey,we cant deliver 17e 64, how bout a 60.
I said no. But id like a 17+.
Oh, sorry, we cant do that.
I said, that's fine, cancel the order if you cant deliver the requested product and credit my acct.
Um, ok. Place your order and we'll xfer the money from this order.

So I placed an order for a 17+, sent them the order ID #, and asked they apply credit from this order, and finish the difference with credit already in the acct.

This is the last thing I sent:
   Order ID: 001201xxxxxx.   Payment Method:USD
   is the new order. USD wire was selected.

Please cancel order ID 001201910xxxxx and apply credit towards the new order. Additional credit available in my acct should be used to complete the order.



Edit: 12/26.   Email received.  Entire S17+ order paid with credit from the cancelled s17e order and additional acct credit

[philipma1957]

so this is like a merry christmas 🎁 to you. nice 👍

I am still waiting for news on my t17+ it is now 6 days late.

I kind of want to get to get to the point my ordering process is finished with them.

As of now

I await a s17pro which i got for about 380 after credits.

I await the t17+. which is late they will owe me a credit for price adjustment and a credit for being late.

If could be about 400-500 which would mean I would buy a t17 again.

I would really like to have a clear slate by my birthday 🎂 which is Jan 27th.

I just received notification that my S17E (60ths, not 64ths) is on its way!

I order 2 plugs from Amazon 12ft NEMA 6-20P to IEC C13 Power Cable - 14AWG SJT (250V 15A)

Can someone confirm that  each of the receptacles on the antminer  require 220v?
thanks & happy holidays!
David

[philipma1957]

220v is required.

well 210-240 range for each plug.

Has anyone tried new firmware from Bitmain? Antminer-S17e-user-OM-202001131007-sig_5156.tar.gz

I like my S17e unit which is giving me stable 67 TH/s instead of marketed 64TH/s. I wouldn't like to lose those few extra TH/s, so has anyone update to newest firmware? If so, what is your experience?

I am mostly intereste due to this:

2. Enhance the miner stability in scenarios that beyond the normal operating temperature range.

However, if I ever choose to go with custom firmware I think that this will be harder with newest firmware due to this:

3. Enhance  anti-virus capability with  new security mechanism.

What do you think @taserz?

[favebook]

Bitmain just put S17e back to sale.

S17e specs:

Hashrate: 60TH/s (max 64 TH/s with Power Usage of 3400W (53W/TH))
Reference Power Usage (Min): 2700W
Power Efficiency (@25℃): 45 W/TH (but not at 60 TH/s if I understand correctly - should be around 50W/TH in reality)

Shipping Date: 1-30 June 2020
Price: $896 (before VAT, shipping and any other expenses)

[MoparMiningLLC]

wish they would put one up with sub 800 price - my T17+ is running at 60 th/s - I would take another one of those.
