- Hasrat: 240 Kh/s with an accuracy of +/-8%
- Energy consumption: 480 W (at 25 degrees and the power supply 93% efficiency)
- The chip type: A8+ CryptoMaster ASIC
- Dimensions: 350mm (length) x 250 mm (width) x 160 mm (height)
- Net weight: 7.3 kg (without PSU)
- Operating temperature: 0°C — 85°C (internal temperature)
