Review of the Ebit E9 Plus 9.0 Th/s ASIC Miner

Here's my take on the Ebit E9 Plus, a Bitcoin (SHA-256) ASIC miner. 1) General info & what you’ll need 2) Unboxing experience 3) Quick overview 4) Installation process 5) Setup 6) Performance testing 7) Measuring power usage 8) Wrap up 9) How to buy one Updated on: February 17, 2018. You can grab a nicely formatted version (dated February 17, 2018) for download here (using Mega.nz): 1) General info & needed items The Ebit E9 Plus is a Bitcoin (SHA-256) ASIC miner built with 14nm ASIC chip tech, created by Zhejiang Ebang Communication from Hangzhou, China. This unit stands alone with its built-in controller, so you won’t have to mess with getting a separate controller like Raspberry Pi to get it going. It weighs 4.7 kg and its size is 290mm (L) x 126mm (W) x 155mm (H). The promised hashrate is 9.0 Th/s and it consumes about 1305 Watts (that’s about 145W per Th/s, as per their product page). Check out Ebang’s site: http://miner.ebang.com.cn/ Technical specs: What you'll need: -A server-grade PSU with at least 10 PCI-E 6-pin connectors, each one on a dedicated cable, and at least 18AWG wires. I used the APW3++ 1600W PSU from Bitmain to power mine. I’d suggest using a 1600W server PSU or a custom PSU for this unit. Ebang also has their own custom PSU available on their site. -C13 power cable.

Great review, thanks. I just wish they have any hardware in stock:) Will monitor, though

Thank you for the review.  It is nice to see another top preforming miner.

Thanks Hagssmeister, nice review. Looks like "Ebit" is starting to get their stuff together, but still pretty long way off from top competitors. Somehow the company and the products fails to inspire me from communication, spec, delivery, price etc point of view. So far I am more impressed with Canaan and their roadmap and strategy for new products. Let's see if they can pull it off.

Thanks for the review and picture's good to have more competition in the area

Didn't come with a power cord. Wish I knew, now I have to wait for that. It's not like the local store has a NEMA 6-20P to C13 lying about. Doh!

Yeah no - stop spamming your crap everywhere (Moderator note: This post was edited by frodocooper to remove the quoted post from BTC Crypto.)

Well I did mention the power cord as 'other items needed' in the review. It's not like they can include every single different power cord that exists in the world, with the psu.

Everything's sold out know of any alternatives that have them in stock?

Great review as always, thanks and keep it up!

SCAM WARNING! Do not purchase from BTC Crypto. Edit - "BTC Crypto" has been banned. Thank you mods.

Thx for the review! I bought a pice for testing but i can't find the ip adress. Tried with ip finder wireshark and ebang soft... Probably i.m doing something wrong  Help, thx! Later edit : Found it.. works now all ok.

According to DHL tracking my Ebit E9+ arrives Tuesday! Will post additional info as soon as she is up and running.

Get a cord!   Save downtime. It will run at 1200w/110 but to get full capacity 1600w you need 220v or dual psus as described elsewhere in the forums.

Dual PSUs already stocked and ready to go!

I use an EVGA Titanium 1600W power supply and I get the full hashrate over 110.

That's great to know. Glad to report I've been up and hashing for 18 hours now. Averaging 9.37 TH/s with peaks a little over 10

Still waiting on my cord. You beat me. Glad to hear it's working for you.

Yeah, they're a good miner. I got mine Oct 5th new off of Amazon, and I've had to restart it maybe 4-5 times in that time, and more then half of those restarts were because the web interface wasn't opening for me, but it was still mining away. I don't have the fanciest of equipment, but it's the most stable miner in my flock anyways.

I have a question regarding the E9+ and I hope to get some help : - I made a sound-proofing container (plastic) with egg cartons inlaid. And i also ran a 5 metres air duct hose (5 inches) from the container into my bathroom for hot air ventilation. The noise reduced from 80+db to 72 db so it helps a bit. But the temperature increased from 56 degrees Celsius to 72 d.celsius, after running for 2 hours and holding steady. Can you advise whether the temp is okay for the miner? thanks in advance.
