BTC Hardware Assessment

Who this is for

Operators purchasing a single high-hash rig, expanding a small farm, or validating refurbished inventory before accepting delivery. The assessment applies to SHA-256 ASIC hardware configured for Bitcoin-only pool work — we do not evaluate GPU altcoin setups or dual-mining firmware.

What is included

Nameplate vs. measured hash rate over a 48-hour burn-in window
Wall power measurement with clamp meter at your supplied voltage
Thermal imaging of intake/exhaust paths under sustained load
Firmware audit: pool URL, fan curve, overclock profile, rejected share rate
Noise reading at one metre (dBA) for residential or mixed-use sites
Written PDF with pass/fail flags on each metric and remediation notes

What is excluded

Pool fee negotiation or hosting contract review
Electrical panel upgrades or permit filings
Repair labour beyond identifying failed hash boards
Altchain firmware or merge-mining configurations

Process

Intake call — You share model, serial range, delivery date, and target pool.
Drop-off or pickup — Units arrive at our Seo-gu lab or we schedule on-site access.
Burn-in — 48 hours at factory fan profile, then optional overclock pass if requested.
Report delivery — PDF within five business days; debrief call booked separately.
Follow-up — One email thread for clarification within 14 days of delivery.

Preparation

Provide factory PSU cables, working Ethernet, and the exact firmware version you intend to run in production. If the unit has prior overclock history, disclose it before bench start — undeclared profiles skew thermal readings.
