Phil,

I just installed a few switching PDUs at my data center and here are numbers from the wall that I have on some of my S9i-14.0 miners.  All are running 20181107 firmware.  I may install some other firmware on the miners when I have time to monitor them.  Temps are around 62-67.  Firmware has been rock solid and I did not have to install the upgrade failure firmware first.  I believe I have a total of 55 S9i-14.0 miners running this firmware so this is just a sampling from 1 cabinet.

Average     Real Time     Real Time Power   W/tH
14.010          13.955          1207 W          86.5
14.126          14.124          1210 W          85.7
14.226          14.279          1195 W          83.7
13.988          13.985          1190 W          85.1
13.996          13.927          1162 W          83.4

These are the best numbers I have ever seen if indeed these are the numbers at the wall. I have metered 240v, but only in amps. I can therefore only calculate approximate wattage but not near exact. I just got a bunch of 13.5 and 14TH S9s in. I was really thinking that the 3rd party software with the new ASIC boost enabled was going to be my best option, but this 20181107 firmware result is the best I have ever seen posted I think by at least 5%.
