Bitmain Antminer KS5 20T

Bitmain Antminer KS5 20T is one of the top ASIC miners from Bitmain with a hashrate of 21 Th/s. It is used mainly for mining KAS, SDR, BGA and other coins that work with the kHeavyHash algorithm. One of the main advantages is excellent energy efficiency of the 150 J/Th class, which is an order of magnitude higher than average when directly compared with miners used to mine similar coins. At the same time, it has a radically re-equipped cooling system with 4 high-speed coolers.

Equipment Features

The miner belongs to the top line of the Antminer KS5 brand. Consumption is around 3150 W per hour, while the manufacturer provides the ability to overclock and fine-tune the power supply to achieve maximum energy efficiency and optimization for a specific pool in which the miner operates. The maximum noise emitted is 75 decibels. The miner can also be used in combination with liquid cooling (immersion in oil), which will further compensate for electricity costs by reusing the generated heat. The device is massive, but at the same time does not vibrate at all even under maximum load. A high-speed Rj45 port is provided for connecting to the Internet.

About the manufacturer

Bitmain is one of the largest and very first factory manufacturers of ASIC miners. It was founded back in 2013. And it is its equipment that in most cases becomes the main one when building mining farms. The main advantage of the manufacturer is the active support of almost all existing encryption protocols that are used to mine cryptocurrency.

All miners from Bitmain are provided with a guarantee. Moreover, it is valid for any format of equipment use. The above-mentioned miner is no exception, it is provided with an official international guarantee for 6 months.

The only nuance: the cost of ASIC miners from Bitmain is slightly higher than that of competitors with similar or comparable characteristics. But this can be considered a price for quality and reliability.
