[NotFuzzyWarm]

Too bad as I have dead s9's up the wahzoo and would have been interested in being able to reviving a few of the carcasses by using new innards. Ah well.

yeah disappointing.
My 28 s9 shells 🐚 could have done 560-600 th

vs 300-330th

and use less power.

Not that interested in a group buy as I don’t  want to handle the funds along with the risk of trump tax.

I was hoping for lower order level and lower price.

But parts and setup are costly for builder.

All right, its not good for you. But can't you ask them to directly provide their service here, or via some website? Not everyone lives in America.

They should just use their own company name, and sell them as "s9 form factor boards" or such, with their own controller. So all they would sell is controllers and hash boards.

Honestly those franken S9s should not be called S9 at all, they have nothing from Bitmain (unless the chips themselves are the ones from the newer families, but do these each report temp? i know the inno ones did). I'm surprised they are not already selling a whole miner that way. There is market for "half a T17", for example.

The min power requirement of the latest units is getting ridiculous. The way things are going they might as well skip with the home stuff and go straight to industrial plugs...

Shells are plenty on ebay and alibaba, and if demand comes, someone would keep building them (especially in China).

Not like the S9 shell is any worth preserving... It just happens that there is a lot of them and could see some reuse.

they monitor thread.

I would think if they want to do sales here they can post.

They told me 600 board minimum.
1/2 up front. 118 usd a board.

maybe they will offer a sale thread.
but for me in the usa they are not a fit .  maybe they are a fit for you.

they are using the shell and the controller along with fans.

and the wires .

Semantically speaking s9 up grade is kind of accurate. your name is also accurate.

but my conditions were not to reveal builder so if he wants to post and try to do  sales he will do so not me.

He knows it is not a fit for me.

Is it a chinese company or something from europe?

[philipma1957]

They are not based in North America or Central America . I am in USA package was sent from a foreign Country via DHL.

It is pretty obvious to me since they are not posting here so my guess is they do not want to sell here.

My best guess is they are from China, or any other Asian country for that matter, cost wise U.S and Europe can't compete with China as far as mining is concerned, so nobody in their right mind would try to make those boards in EU.

.It is pretty obvious to me since they are not posting here so my guess is they do not want to sell here.

I find it strange, they do seem serious, you have a proof that their hash boards work as advertised, yet they don't seem desperate to sell their products, it is possible that somebody found his way to them and bought everything in bulk, thousands of S9 control boards are lying around doing nothing.

i would buy maybe enough to do 2 s9 shells and then donate the s9 boards to gekkoscience for his r606's.

[philipma1957]

I was looking for 100 at most.

600 minimum and import tax make them a no go.

They have chosen to not post here. I would guess they found someone. And built out  a run for them.

BTW with the crazy heat we have had 2 boards shut down on two units.

One still works.

But they were being torture tested as input temps are 95 f  and output temps  of mining room are 110 f


the one that lasted had the higher quality fans.

all fans are under the rpm of the normal s9 fans.

I Used 3600 rpm 150 cfm fans and they were not good enough

The 4800  rpm super high end all metal san ace is working great.

So i would say the fails are a reflection of the fans not the boards
