Cool the odd thing is the firmware on it is the same as the firmware currently on bitmain. It only has balanced for freq options.  The batch 1 fw runs fine with only 1 board reporting temp. I ran your z9 2.0d and stock z9 firmware on this mini it runs fine but same thing no temps on any board but it clocks up to 737 stable your fw also unlocked the 4th port on the controller so I could run an extra hashboard where the stock mini only allows 3.

Wait...what??! Ur running Z9 FW on your Z9 mini and it works fine? Shocked

Dev fee version has always worked, the issue has been the temp controls and such which is why I have not been recommending it

Sorry for asking, ive been using your 2.0D on my mini batch2.

Automatic fan doesent work, but i can manually set it and it works Smiley Using push/pull with 2 fans.
Temp reading seems to work on 1 board i still got numbers on the other boards but only like 15 and 7c.

But my hashrate is fluctuating alot.
With batch 1 firmwire its between 14.0-14.4  Average 14.3ksols at 662MHZ Highest i can go.
With your FW its between 12-18k Average  14.7ksols at 681MHZ

Its kinda like 2board jumps up to 6-8 ksols and one board goes down to 2-5ksols.
next its the other 2 board that jumps up and another one goes down.

are you aware of this? Smiley and sorry again for asking about the mini when your priority are on payed biggies Smiley

and great job btw!  Grin


Ignoring the fluctuations, what you are seeing for improvement is about what I'm seeing in the testing I've done so far (14.3 to 14.7 in your example). On I can sometimes get more out of the units, but it depends on things I don't yet have understanding on.

Hashrate will naturally fluctuate otherwise -- that average (and the work submitted in terms of shares) is really what is the best indicator.

The other items you mention about temps/fans are things I am aware of as I previously mentioned.

Thank you for your feedback!
