The Antminer V9

This is a technical informational article on the Antminer V9. Most people scream 4TH/s is too low, however, if you are mining on a Multi algo pool that pays you in whatever coin, then the Amount of TH/s is not even a factor. For example we all know the the Antminer S3 only mines at approximately 450 GH/s however on the mining pool page it was producing 1.9 TH/s, this is because it is the amount of miners using that algorithm and not the TH/s a second. These pools are specifically created to get the most out of whatever miner, but an uneducated person who did not take the time to actually do the research by them selves by mining and not looking, would never know this.

Now let us look into the Antminer V9

TECHNICAL SPECS

Be sure to power on the miner only after all the 10 PCIe connectors are connected to a power supply.

Parameters of ANTMINER V9
No.	Parameters	Value
1	Product model	V9
2	Total quantity of hash chips	135 PCS
3	Total quantity of hash boards	3 PCS
4	Total hash rate	4TH ±5%
5	DC voltage input	11.60~13.00 V
6	DC current input @12V DC	79.59 A +10%
7	DC Power @12V DC input	955 W +10%
8	220VAC Power @25℃ ,93% conversion efficiency of APW3	1027 W +10%
9	220VAC Power efficiency @25℃,93% conversion efficiency of APW3	253mJ/GH+10%
10	Weight（without package）	3.05 kg
11	Operation temperature	0-40 ℃
12	Storage temperature	-40-85 ℃
13	Operation humidity	5%RH-95%RH, prevent condensation
14	Noise	76 dB
15	Networking connection mode	Ethernet Cable
16	Power connection mode	All three PCI-E ports are required to power the board. You can use one PSU to power multiple boards, but do not attempt to power one board with two PSUs.We suggest to prevent  the control board to be powered up before hash boards be powered up.
17	Size(Length*Width*Hight,without package)	301mm*123mm*155mm

If you notice anything, right off the bat, you will see that the power input is only 955Watts. This is slightly higher than the Antminer S3. This means if you read the previous article you would know that by keeping the miner cool, the fan motor will not work as hard, and will therefore use less power consumption.

The Antminer V9 used on a miner farm with 3 V9’s and 1 S9 will produce 34 TH/s should you want the slow way and mine a coin, however you will never make as good as the exchange rate mining. Sorry it is because multiple coins are mined and then traded for the coin you are wanting to be paid in. That is just basic math, you cannot escape math.

So for all those wanting to use less power consumption on a multi algo pool the Antminer V9 is a good deal, also you may want to look into the Antminer D3, now that most multi algo pools acdcept that high hash-rate to mine multiple X11 coins.
