ok guys so i spoke with one of the engineers at bitmain (thats what they said and i cant read chinese so the name on the email is unknown lol) and they said there is a way to control the speed of the miner on post auto tune miners. they have firmware posted up that sets the speed to a desired freq for example 550 600 etc. he said you will see more hardware errors because the board isnt finding the sweet spot so if the firmware would normally run the miner at a sweet spot of 525 with minimal hw errors using the 550 firmware will run it higher causing more hw errors. so its probably best to check what your miner is clocked at using the default auto tuned firmware before using the set freq. he confirmed that it is all right to use that firmware on all of the pre and post auto freq s9's so thats all i can say there. he also stated that the firmware is posted on the github site so you can edit the freq and compile it yourself with a desired freq. now with that said i will also throw out there i do not condone overclocking....its too risky with miners these days so its best to only use this to UNDERCLOCK the miner and never to overclock it. overclocking has proven to be a waste on these miners anyway so there isnt a point in it.

the second thing is im getting the fan speed controls added back to the miner. i told them i dont want it to lower the speeds (which i dont). i just want it so i can keep the fan speed constant instead of the up and down up and down the auto tuned miners are set to do which causes alot more noise and other issues. the pre auto tune miners have a set speed and i wanted it to be more like those.

so all in all it seems like these things are being handled and will be uploaded on their site whenever they are done editing the firmware i guess.

damn genie ur still talkin shit in this thread? smh......
