Re: One Temp Chip Missing Antminer S9...

Hello, I just bought an Antminer S9, it was running fine for 3 days, decided to change the wire for a better wire since the one I had wasnt really good. I turned it back on now and I saw that one Temp Chip is missing, so basically im doing 9-10THs instead of 14THs... Anyone know why is this happening? Thank you.

Probably a board failed? That happens a lot.

That's most likely the case. Seeing how the Antminer S9 has such high hashboard failure rates it's not really a surprise.

The only thing you can do in this case is accept it or contact Bitmain to RMA it. I'm not sure what Bitmain's policy for hashboard failures is though because I personally haven't had to RMA anything.
You should take into consideration the amount of time it will take to return it and get a new one as well if you decide to do that.

Paying for a repair is another option. In bitmain site it says the S9 you need to ship the entire unit, I won't do that. I opened a ticket with them but it's moving slowly. Meanwhile I'm trying bitmainwarranty.com and I'll report back what happened with them. I may need to pay $250-$300 for the repair though Sad

In case another board fails I probably will have bitmains response by then Angry
