Update:
Z9 delay 5-7 days, bitmain is (not joking) offering a $90 coupon. LOL. I was being sarcastic when I said $100 but apparently I was pretty close. Everyone should ask for a free miner or a deep discount on a 2nd z9, anyone who ordered 1st batch z9 will not realistically be getting it in hands until 3rd or 4th week of September. Utterly a pathetic sack of shit joke. Pretty much everyone got screwed on this by bitmain hardcore. The amount of coins they will product come end of month vs what they would have been in beginning of October is literally half or even less.

My theory is I bet they realized everyone found a workaround for overclocking the batch 2 Z9 mini's and are scrambling to remove that capability from the Z9 max, just so they can screw us over even more.
Just noticed Bitmains support page has a firmware upgrade for the Z9 that changes the frequency from 500 to 550...so no overclocking i guess?

Edit: and the manual states it has a fixed frequency of 500 Mhz
Just so we are clear, you realize that is the Z9 full size you are talking about right? The mini has a different firmware.
Regardless, I would guess OCing the full size will be a matter of figuring out which files to manually edit.
Yes, I understand that. I was replying to the question of if the full size Z9 could be overclocked without modifying the firmware.
The most I can get out of my two Batch 2 machines is 687 (although 681 produces a higher hashrate) and 625. Anything over that and the third hashboard on both machines goes to 0 hashrate.
i just recived my 2nd batch. mine too. 3rd chain die at 681 or up.
What hash rate are you getting at 681 or close. Do you get hw errors on any chains or does it just hash at 0 when you go at or over 681
same here... what about flashing the may 2018 firmware on to it?.... my batch 1 runs fine at 750..17 sols batch 2 one board dies above 675 freq.. 14 sols...
I'm wondering if bitmain hasn't cherry picked hashboards for the Z9s over the minis in this batch?
In theory I'll have a Z9 next week to see how (if?) it overclocks.
I wouldn't imagine their yield suddenly going down across the board on OC stability.
