Really appreciate your hard work.   I messaged you regarding the unlocked version I received.  As far as batch 1 z9.   I tried a little research of my own by taking the control board from my 750 hashing batch one mini and placing it on the batch 2 mini and the same issue existed where the hashing would go to zero after some time and could only handle 650 at times.  So not sure what they really changed with batch 2 as I assumed all config were stored on the control board.

Thanks

I responded to your PM re: unlock/Z9. My understanding, and note I never had a Z9 batch2+ myself - my 12 were all batch1, is that the Batch2s had a hardware change.  From the pictures I saw, my best guess is 2 VRMs (voltage regulation modules) were removed which limited the power distribution ability to the boards. Again, just a wild guess.

Hey guys. Just for making things clear. Z9 mini Batch 1 and 2 hashing boards look basically the same to me. I can provide photos of both batches boards front and back.

I have one of each batch which I can get pics of also to compare  The batch 2s are easily determined by the screw in the center of the fan batch 1 and 3 don't have it. Batch 1 firmware on all 3 giving 16+k on batch 1, 15k on batch 2, and 16+ on the batch 3 running 731,687,731 for the freq
