Re: Bitmain's Released Antminer S9, World's First 16nm Miner Ready to Order
What is the recommended Chip temp for S9?
Im currently running between 85-91C.
Im currently running between 85-91C.
under 95 c is okay
over 100 c is not so good.
in-between 95c - 100c is unit to unit.
based on use of 20 units from June 2016 until now.
also room temps can be cold 10c or warm 35c
and inbetween.
Getting a couple S9's online, 14TH batch. Any way to adjust the fan speed and Clock anymore? cold basement and chips are 68-71. I'd like to turn fans down for noise and run chips around 88-92. I remember seeing a URL link to still access the fan and click settings, latest shipped FW does not have those options anymore.
Where did you get these from?
Ordered a couple months ago directly from Bitmain. I was the December batch, just received them yesterday. Tempted to sell some since going for over 5K on Ebay, but who know BTC could be 25k in a couple months
I like the mining idea as long as prices are relatively high. But, who knows now that there is an orderly market. I like Ethereum too given the smart contracts focus, and maybe someday we'll see a flippening, but I haven't seen any rigs aside from PandaMiner. I put in an RFQ through Alibaba for Trade Assurance, but I'm not sure if i'll get any play. I'm 99% sure i'll wait until Bitmain rolls out their next batch or potentially look into the DragonMint rigs (16TH/s) with heavy hitters in the industry verifying authenticity through Twitter instead of using a reseller. But, I certainly wouldn't pay 3.5x the cost although some people may if there is a market on eBay. More power to you if you get some bids and want to sell them versus use them.
P.S.: Hopefully I don't get banned for referencing "Ethereum" and "flippening" in this sub-section
