Antminer S9i (14TH/s) – Air-Cooled Bitcoin Miner
Antminer S9i (14TH/s) is the binned 2018 refresh of the S9, offering slightly higher hashrate on the same proven 16nm BM1387 platform.
Antminer S9i Overview
The Antminer S9i exists because chip yields improved. Bitmain sorted the best-performing BM1387 silicon from production and shipped it as an “i” variant with a few percent more hashrate. Same chassis, same power supply, same acoustics — simply a better selection of chips. Consequently the S9, S9i and S9j are in practice one machine wearing three labels.

🛡 Warranty
Legacy-generation model. Warranty terms are limited and differ from current-generation hardware — confirm coverage before ordering.
⚠️ Buyer Considerations
- ~94 J/TH means this only works on very cheap power — hydro, flared gas, curtailed solar or included-utilities sites.
- A strong first machine: everything you learn transfers directly to an S19 or S21 fleet.
- 1,320 W fits a standard 15 A circuit, unlike most modern miners.
- Noise (~76 dB) requires a garage, shed or outbuilding.
