Core Philosophy: Mining success is defined by power cost per unit of compute, not raw unoptimized hashrate. Strategic undervolting protects capital during bear cycles, while tuned overclocking maximizes bull-market cashflow.
1. The Physics of Undervolting
Dynamic power consumption scales quadratically with supply voltage: P ≈ C × V² × f. Lowering operating voltage by 10% yields a ~19% drop in active silicon power draw while dramatically lowering thermal leakage.
2. Hardware Safety Rules
- Maintain total rig wattage under 85-90% of rated PSU capacity.
- Keep PCB temperatures under 75°C and silicon junction temps under 100°C.
- Enforce hardware error (HW error) ratios strictly below 0.05% over a 6-hour monitoring window.
