Day 4 with my second NerdQAxe from AliExpress ✨
The first three days went smoothly with the default settings, giving me around 5 TH/s. So, I decided to overclock despite the intense heat we're experiencing where I live.
After 24 hours of overclocking, everything is working perfectly. All temperatures are normal, and my power supply remains very cool thanks to its integrated fan.
The criticisms will always be there, but I still have no evidence to support the rumors that Bitaxe or NerdQaxe units sold on AliExpress arrive "bricked" or fail very quickly after being plugged in.
The experimentation continues 👁️
I received my second NerdQAxe from AliExpress, this time from a different seller.
The packaging was excellent and the installation very simple as usual (Pictures in the comments )
To my surprise, this one seems to have a higher-quality power supply, with a built-in fan. So I don't need to add one like I had to for the power supply of my first NerdQAxe (it got extremely hot).
It's much louder than the previous one because of the fan guards. Removing them significantly reduces the noise (at your own risk!).
It's very hot today in Canada, so I'm not going to overclock it. It's currently running with the default settings on CKPool and everything seems normal so far.
As for my first NerdQAxe and Bitaxe Gamma that I bought on AliExpress about a month ago, they have been working 24/7 without any problems since day one.
I continue to monitor, but for now I have no evidence to confirm the rumor that miners sold on AliExpress arrive "bricked" or break down very quickly after being plugged in.
To be continued 👁️
