NerdQaxe++
NerdQaxe++ is a 4.8 Th/s multi-chip Bitcoin home miner that consumes ~80 watts.
It provides the same hash power as the Antminer S7 (released in 2015 with 135 chips) while using only four chips.
Hashpower
NerdQaxe++ is powered by four BM1370 chips from the Antminer S21 Pro, S21+, and S21+ Hydro—some of the most efficient miners in the industry—delivering a total hash rate of approximately 4.8 TH/s. At an energy price of $0.20 per kWh, it will cost ~$11.5 per month in electricity.
Display
The NerdQaxe++ features a LILYGO T-Display S3, a 1.9-inch LCD color screen with two programmable buttons.
Monitor your hash rate, Bitcoin price, ASIC temperature, power usage, efficiency, and more.
Software
With the AxeOS panel, you can monitor all devices (‘swarm’) running AxeOS, including NerdQaxe++ miners.
Cooling
NerdQaxe++ follows standard computer mounting hole patterns for Intel and AMD processors.
It includes a Thermalright AXP90 X36 Low Profile cooler, but you can explore various modification possibilities.
