Overview

The Bitmain Antminer E9 Pro, unveiled in February 2023, is Bitmain’s flagship Ethash ASIC miner built for Ethereum and Ethereum Classic mining. Boasting a hashrate of 3.68 GH/s and a power draw of around 2200 W, it delivers about 0.6 J/MH efficiency—optimized for the Ethash algorithm.


Exterior Design

The E9 Pro sports dimensions of 550 × 195.5 × 310 mm (without packaging) and weighs 20.2 kg net (22.0 kg gross). While its form factor resembles other Bitmain S-series miners, it’s optimized specifically for Ethash mining with a sturdy, industrial-grade frame. 


Power Supply & PSU Details

It integrates a rugged power supply supporting 200–240 V input at 47–63 Hz and draws approximately 20 A via dual 10 A AC inputs. The PSU design aligns with Bitmain’s industrial standards, ensuring stable delivery for round-the-clock mining operation.


Cooling System

The E9 Pro uses four high-speed fans arranged for efficient air flow through powerful heatsinks. These fans manage thermal load even under full operation. Noise level is rated at around 75 dB—typical for industrial-class


Fan Specifications

  • Model & Size: Martech Industrial-grade fans, 120 × 120 × 38 mm
  • Count: 4 fans—two front intake, two rear exhaust
  • Voltage & Current: Each runs on 12 V (current not officially disclosed)
  • Speed & Airflow: High RPM (exact RPM not published)
  • Noise Level: ~75 dB under load 

Internal Components

While specific control-board details are not officially disclosed, the E9 Pro features a sturdy internal layout including multiple hashboards, a Bitmain control board with SOC, and firmware supporting industrial-grade reliability.


PSU

Bitmain’s integrated high-load PSU APW121215b features dual power inlets and robust circuitry built for continuous high-power operation . 


Control Board

Uses a Bitmain control board with an embedded system-on-chip Ctrl_C9 (SOC), making it firmware-compatible with other Bitmain industrial models.


Hashboards & Hashing Performance

  • Hashrate: 3.68 GH/s ± 10%
  • 2 Custom Hashboads Model 260‑E
  • Efficiency: ~0.6 J/MH ± 10%
  • Power Draw: 2200 ± 10% W (at 35 °C)

Hashboards & ASIC Chips

The E9 Pro uses BM2280AA ASIC chips on its 2 hashboards (8 chips each) 


Operational Specs

  • Algorithm: Ethash (Ethereum, Ethereum Classic, etc.)
  • Voltage: 200–240 V AC
  • Operating Temp: 0–40 °C; Storage: –20–70 °C 
  • Humidity Tolerance: 10–90% RH, non-condensing 
  • Altitude: ≤ 2000 m (with derating above 900 m)
  • Network: RJ45 Ethernet 10/100 Mbps 

Profitability (Last Update: 23rd June 2025)

  • Hashrate: 3.68 GH/s
  • Power Draw: ~2200 W ≈ 2.2 kW
  • Daily Energy Use: 2.2 kW × 24 h = 52.8 kWh
  • Electricity Cost @ $0.01/kWh: 52.8 kWh × $0.01 = $0.53/day
  • Estimated Daily Revenue: ≈ $6.19 (per MiningNow.com)
  • Estimated Daily Electricity Cost: ≈ $0.53
  • Net Profit: $6.19 – $0.53 = $5.66/day

Conclusion

The Antminer E9 Pro is Bitmain’s top-tier Ethash miner, delivering 3.68 GH/s at ~2200 W with ~0.6 J/MH efficiency. Equipped with BM2280AA ASIC chips, robust hashboards, and a capable cooling system via four industrial fans, it excels in Ethereum-based mining. At low electricity costs, it remains one of the most powerful and profitable Ethash miners available today—ideal for large-scale or industrial mining operations.
