- Upgraded heatsink design suits immersion cooling and extends unit lifespan
Mining hardware and target use
This barebone system is built around the Antminer T17 platform and delivers a rated 42 TH/s on the SHA-256 algorithm for Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash mining. It is intended for operators who need a high-density ASIC unit with an upgraded heatsink design. Buyers who require a general-purpose computer or GPU-based mining rig should look elsewhere.
Build integration and daily connectivity
The whole-body integrated chassis measures 300 x 178 x 29 mm and weighs 9500 g, with a 4 x 12038 fan array that produces 82 dB of noise during operation. A single Ethernet port provides the only network link, and the unit requires a 220 V supply capable of sustaining 2310 W wall draw. Builds that cannot accommodate the physical footprint, acoustic output or power infrastructure are not suitable.
Included upgrades and operational limits
The heatsink has been upgraded to address delaminated chips and to support immersion cooling, extending the service life of the 144 custom Bitmain chips. The package includes a power supply and the miner itself, with an operating range of 0 to 40 °C and 5 to 95 % RH non-condensing. Users without access to 220 V power or adequate cooling capacity will not be able to run the hardware reliably.

Questions about this item
What does the Ethernet interface limit in practice?
The single Ethernet port handles pool communication and remote management traffic; it does not carry mining hashrate data beyond the control plane.
What are the physical dimensions and weight for rack or shelf mounting?
The unit measures 486 mm long, 388 mm wide, 265 mm high and weighs 11.0 kg without packaging.
How is the miner installed and what step is often missed?
Connect the PSU to a 220 V supply, link the Ethernet cable to your router, then power on; the step many miss is confirming the local voltage is 220 V before applying power.
