The NerdQaxe++ and NerdQaxe++ Rev 6.1 are compact, open-source Bitcoin ASIC miners specifically designed for silent and energy-efficient hobby mining. Both models are ideal for home and office use, but the Rev 6.1 introduces significant improvements in performance, efficiency, and cooling.
While the original NerdQaxe++ focuses on simplicity and reliability, the Rev 6.1 delivers significantly improved performance and efficiency. In terms of sound levels and settings, both models are practically identical, so the user experience remains virtually the same.

NerdQaxe++
The NerdQaxe++ is a compact and silent Bitcoin miner that delivers excellent performance in its class. With four BM1370 ASIC chips, it achieves a hashrate of approximately 4.8 TH/s while consuming only 75 watts, resulting in an efficiency of approximately 15 J/TH.
Thanks to the 540g solid copper heatsink and PWM fan, temperatures remain stable with minimal noise. The open-source AxeOS firmware is pre-installed, so you can start mining in minutes.
With German manufacturing, CE certification, and high-quality components, the NerdQaxe++ is built for reliable 24/7 use and is an ideal entry into the world of Bitcoin mining.
NerdQaxe++ Rev 6.1
The NerdQaxe++ Rev 6.1 is the next-generation successor and offers significantly higher performance. With a hashrate of up to ±6.1 TH/s and a power consumption of 100 W, this version delivers approximately 12% higher efficiency than its predecessor.
The updated design features an improved PCB layout, dual-fan cooling, and an XT30 power connector, resulting in more stable performance and better heat dissipation. Noise output and settings remain comparable to the standard NerdQaxe++.
The integrated LCD interface displays real-time information such as hash rate, temperature, and uptime. Thanks to plug-and-play firmware and Wi-Fi configuration, installation is quick and easy.
This version is perfect for users who want maximum performance within a compact home miner, without compromising on noise level or efficiency.
Ease of use and learning value
Both miners support solo and pool mining and are designed for educational and experimental use. They offer a unique opportunity to better understand and actively support the Bitcoin network, with full control thanks to their open-source nature.
With solo mining, there is a possibility of finding a block and earning 3,125 BTC plus transaction fees, although this opportunity remains limited.
Conclusion
NerdQaxe++
Ideal for beginners: compact, energy-efficient and easy to use.
NerdQaxe++ Rev 6.1
For those looking for more performance without changing ease of use or noise level: more powerful and efficient, with the same controls and configuration.
In short: the biggest difference lies in performance and efficiency. In terms of silence and settings, both models offer virtually the same user experience, making the Rev 6.1 particularly interesting for those looking to get more out of their mining setup.
