Z9 makes a lot of noise compared to GPU (although better than S9), impossible to put at home unless you have a garage you can put it.
I'm in the same boat. What did you decide to do? I agree with everything you said.
I hope that it is not off topic but I am wondering if anyone else is thinking to get an Antminer Z9 mini from the second batch. I know that it is risky and chances to ROI might be very low but it costs now $850-250 (coupon) = $600 and the chances of Zcash forking this year are low. I like the miner: low power usage, low noise, small. In the worst case scenario, I will have $600 paper weight (or I will lose the prepayment). What do you think? I cannot imagine running S11 or anything else requiring > 1200 W with the noise level > 76 dB at home (I will actually need another upgrade to my fuse panel and I am risking the wrath of my wife 
). What do you think? I was contemplating getting FPGAs from Senseless or Mineority but it is a lot of money and unknowns. In my mind, GPU mining is dead (I am mining practically only Ether now)
). What do you think? I was contemplating getting FPGAs from Senseless or Mineority but it is a lot of money and unknowns. In my mind, GPU mining is dead (I am mining practically only Ether now)Here are my results from seven days mining BTG on MPH. Overclock is 750 and power draw is right around 400w at the wall. Temps have remained steady between 66 and 68. I am headed out of town and have yet to set up SSH with my Z9 so I am switching to Zen on mph in anticipation of the BTG fork on Sunday.
Also, I just realized that the Bitmain coupons for a batch 1 Z9 expire in just a few weeks. That is some BS if I've ever seen it. I'm on the fence about whether or not to pick up another one. I imagine that as soon as the $250 coupons expire the big Z9 will be released. I hate to lose out on the coupons though.

Once I increase the frequency, it stopped again and on the main page it now says "Hardware Version: Socket connect failed: Connection refused"
I had the same issue, took down the OC to default and all restore stuff and nothing heloed. Then I changed pool and it all came back.....
I cannot see the temperature now because the it does not show any hashboard.
What are the current chip temps? I was playing with how quiet I could make mine by backing off the fan speed. I noticed when I hit 74, it stopped mining (according to Miner Status page - Summary). I increased the fan speed to lower the temps and it started mining just fine.
My point is that if your chip temps are still in the 70's with the fan at auto, you need to back down the OC to bring them down so that it will start mining again.
The control is fine, I can still connect to it, but I can't see the hash related information again and the fan is running at maximal. I did the reset with gui. I am not with the machine, so I will have a hard-reset when I am back tonight.
656Mhz, I moved it to a new place because it is too noisy to put at home, it has been running for less than 12 hours since move. Fixed fan rate until this noon, I see the temperature increased to 79 then I switched to auto fan.
That is a shame... is it a board hash down or control board?.. if board.. it could just be seeking freq...or power can cause them to loose a board... keep doing cold reboots (thats pull the power out the PSU and restart it.. I have alot of S9's and i learnt the hard way.. self taught...
Ps are all 3 boards down? or just 1?
Ouch. What freq did you overclock it to and for how long? Auto fan?

great, after reset, it is working now. Thank you!
I am guessing this info applies for Z9: https://enforum.bitmain.com/bbs/topics/3957
good suggestion, I am going to try this. Thank you!
What method did you use for reset? I have found on BTC antminers that sometimes the gui reset did not do a real reset whereas using the button and rebooting it did.
Mine is dead today, cannot find hashboard any more, I have rebooted and reset, still not working any suggestions? My last temperature check is 75 degree on chip, shouldn't get significantly higher than it.

I changed the frequency to 656.
