FAQ
What is overclocking?
Custom firmware that allows the user to run their Antminer at a higher speed to achieve more TH output for a better ROI.
What are the risks with overclocking?
Running Antminers above maximum output involves some risks of voiding the factory warranty and possible machine failure. You have to be careful of the excessive heat generated as well.
What kind of clients use overclocking?
The majority of our clients have 10+ machines up to 1,000s. Many large mining farms also offer custom firmware options as well. Shrewd investors are buying older model next generation miners (used & new) such as the Antminer S17 50TH at lower rates and bumping up their TH by 25-30% with firmware. Finding cheap/reliable power is the next step. Feel free to contact us for more details.
What to look for when picking an overclocking firmware solution?
Custom overclocking firmware comes with plenty of features. Here are a few that should be on your radar.
- Full support for S17+, S17, T17, T17+, etc.
- General stability, code refactoring to simplify adding support for other models.
- Temperature sensors and modes.
- Automatic switching to a lower profile when the miner overheats.
- Control over miner restarts in case of a board failure.
- Improved cooler speed control algorithm
- Protection against hashrate theft by viruses.
Why is Antminer Firmware Important?
Firmware is a type of computer software for Bitcoin mining hosting, which is essentially a microcode that carries with it a set of instructions that are used by the Antminer machine to perform tasks. It takes care of all of the main core functions of the machine. While the firmware that comes with machines like these is functional, the developers are often retooling and improving the firmware.
Firmware updates will alter the program in certain ways, which helps to make the machine operate more efficiently and proficiently. In addition, updates will often include fixes to any bugs that might have been in the previous firmware, which helps to improve security.
