Can Braiins OS make the Antminer S21 XP more efficient? I put it to the test!

In this video, I'm taking a brand-new Antminer S21 XP running Bitmain's stock firmware and comparing it against Braiins OS to see if I can improve efficiency, power consumption, and hash rate.

At around 89–90°F ambient temperature, my S21 XP was initially pulling roughly 3,900 watts from the wall while producing around 268–270 TH/s.

After installing Braiins OS and allowing the miner to autotune, the results were very interesting.

I was seeing roughly 270+ TH/s while pulling around 3,740 watts at the wall, giving me a significant improvement in efficiency compared to the stock firmware.

I also take a look at some of the features inside Braiins OS, including:

- Autotuning
- Continuous tuning
- Dynamic Performance Scaling (DPS)
- Power targets
- Hashrate targets
- Fan and temperature controls
- Individual ASIC chip health
- Hashboard monitoring
- Frequency monitoring
- Advanced performance settings

I'll also show you how I installed Brains OS on the S21 XP using the Brains Toolbox.

🔥 GIVEAWAY: I'm giving away approximately $34–$35 worth of Bitcoin or Bitcoin Cash Braiins hashpower for 2 hours / 9.09 PH of hashpower. To enter, leave a comment telling me whether you've used Braiins OS or another ASIC firmware and share your results.

Thanks to Braiins for sponsoring today's video!

⚠️ As always, test firmware and mining settings at your own risk. Advanced settings can affect miner stability, performance, and hardware lifespan.

If you're mining Bitcoin with an Antminer S21 XP or similiar, this is definitely something worth testing.

The GeckoScience KBOX might be my new ...favorite Bitcoin lottery miner.

This little Bitcoin miner is capable of around 22 TH/s at roughly 320–330 watts, while offering a surprisingly premium build, integrated 400W Mean Well power supply, OLED display, Ethernet, 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Wi-Fi, RGB lighting, multiple power modes, and even a hidden DOOM Easter egg!

But there is one BIG question…

Is an $800 price tag worth it for a 22 TH/s Bitcoin lottery miner?

In this review, I test the Gecko Science Kbox for hash rate, power consumption, efficiency, noise, thermals, features, web interface, mining modes, and overall build quality.

I also test the low, medium and high power modes, look at the thermal performance, check out the RGB controls, explore the mining interface, and of course… play some DOOM on the miner!

At high power, I was seeing around 22 TH/s at roughly 320 watts, while medium mode was around 16.5 TH/s at approximately 245 watts, and low mode settled around 10.8 TH/s at approximately 175 watts.

The Kbox also includes several safety features, including temperature protection, fan-stop protection, double fuse protection and safeguards designed to protect the ASIC hardware.

So… is this the ultimate home Bitcoin miner?

I have WAY too many small Bitcoin miners sitting around… and honestly, I haven't been turning most of them on.

In this video I'm cleaning up my mining area, going through some of the small ASICs and solo-mining devices I've accumulated, and explaining why I've shifted so much of my focus toward AI GPU hardware.

It's summertime, these miners generate a ton of heat, electricity isn't free, and the economics of small-scale Bitcoin mining and solo mining have become increasingly difficult.

That doesn't mean I think these devices are useless.

For some people, they're a fun way to learn about Bitcoin mining, run a node, experiment with solo mining, or even use the heat during the winter. I've personally used devices like the Avalon Q as heaters while mining Bitcoin at the same time.

But there's a big difference between having fun with a small miner and expecting it to be a profitable mining operation.

And as I continue moving more toward AI GPU servers and GPU rental, a lot of these smaller miners are simply ending up sitting on shelves.

So… I might as well start giving some of them away.

🎁 GIVEAWAY:
I'm giving away a Hammer Miner DC04 in this video!

To enter, leave a comment telling me:

Are you currently running any small ASIC miners?
Are you solo mining?
Are you using them as heaters?
Do you have cheap/free electricity?
Are you running them during the summer?

I'll choose a winner after a couple of days and reply/pin the winning comment.

Good luck!

I started selling my NVIDIA 170HX GPUs after asking the community whether it was finally time to sell — and things have gotten pretty crazy.

Over the past month, I've sold 24 170HX GPUs and made roughly $33,000 USD / $47,000 CAD from those sales.

But here's the crazy part: the prices of these GPUs have continued climbing.

I'm seeing 170HX GPUs selling for $1,400, $1,600, $1,800+, while demand is coming from people building local AI systems and running large language models.

In this video, I'll show you:

- How many 170HX GPUs I've sold
- How much money I've made
- Why I'm still holding some of my GPUs
- The 170HX 64GB VRAM unlock
- The PCIe x16 capacitor mod

Bitcoin ...mining has been getting absolutely brutal.

Bitcoin has fallen dramatically from its previous highs, mining profitability has been squeezed, difficulty and competition remain intense, and expensive electricity is forcing more miners to shut down or leave the industry.

So why am I still expanding my Bitcoin mining operation?

In this video, I take a look at the current Bitcoin mining landscape, Bitcoin hashrate, ASIC miner efficiency, electricity costs, mining profitability and why so many miners are struggling to survive.

I also talk about the miners that are becoming unprofitable around 8¢/kWh, why efficiency is becoming more important than ever, and why older ASICs are increasingly being pushed offline.

But there's another side to the story.

I recently bought six additional S21 XP Bitcoin miners, adding roughly 1.7 PH/s to my operation. I'm now around 5.7 PH/s, with more hashpower coming online.

I'm also changing my strategy.

Instead of immediately selling the Bitcoin I'm mining, I'm now planning to mine and hold Bitcoin, potentially accumulating around 1 BTC over the coming months while paying the electricity costs out of pocket.

Is this a terrible idea?

Or could the current Bitcoin mining downturn eventually create some of the best opportunities for miners who have cheap electricity, efficient hardware and enough cash flow to survive?

I also discuss Zcash mining, Dash miners, ASIC pricing, AI companies moving into former Bitcoin mining infrastructure, and why I believe buying the right hardware at the right price could become increasingly interesting.

As always, do your own research and understand the risks before investing in Bitcoin mining hardware or cryptocurrency.

Should I sell all of my GPUs right now?

NVIDIA has raised prices on its RTX 50-series GPUs, and I'm seeing the effects spill into the used GPU market. RTX 30-series cards, RTX 4090s, RTX 5090s, NVIDIA 170HXs and other GPUs have all become significantly more valuable, leaving me with a big question: is it finally time to sell the shovels?

I've been heavily involved in GPU mining for years, and now I've moved into GPU rental and AI compute. My 4090 and 5090 systems are currently rented on Vast.ai, while my 170HX, 3090 and other GPU servers are also seeing strong demand.

So what makes more sense?

Do I sell my older GPUs while prices are high and take the cash?

Do I reinvest into newer PCIe Gen 5 GPUs?

Do I move into RTX Pro GPUs with ECC memory?

Do I buy more RTX 5090s?

Or should I simply hold the cash and wait for a potential downturn in the AI compute and GPU rental market?

I'm also looking at the potential unlocks for NVIDIA CMP 50HX cards and whether these older GPUs can become useful for AI inference, LLMs or even Pearl mining.

And then there are my 170HX cards. Should I sell them as-is, or potentially modify them for higher PCIe lane functionality and potentially increase their value?

There are A LOT of options right now.

This video is basically me thinking out loud about the current GPU market, AI compute boom, GPU rental demand, used GPU prices, NVIDIA's price increases and whether it's better to sell the shovels during a gold rush.

What would YOU do?

Would you sell your GPUs right now, hold them, or sell and reinvest into newer hardware?

Let me know in the comments!

NVIDIA GPU prices are going absolutely crazy, with the RTX 5090 reportedly reaching around $4,700 and other RTX 50-series GPUs seeing major price increases.

What does this mean for AI GPU rental?

In this video, we look at the massive increase in NVIDIA GPU prices, the RTX 5090 market, GPU rental demand, Vast.ai pricing, AI compute, local LLMs, and whether GPU rental prices could eventually increase as the cost of buying new hardware continues to rise.

I also talk about my NVIDIA 170HX GPUs, the 64GB VRAM unlock, PCIe x16 modifications, the capacitor mod, and why these GPUs could become increasingly valuable for local AI and LLM workloads.

The barrier to entry for building an AI GPU server is getting higher, especially for GPUs with large amounts of VRAM. As more people run AI workloads locally, will existing GPU owners benefit?

We'll also look at the AI GPU rental market and why platforms such as Vast.ai and other cloud compute providers could become increasingly important for people who don't want to spend thousands of dollars buying their own hardware.

Is this the beginning of another AI GPU price surge?

In today's video, I'm testing my NVIDIA 170HX GPUs for memory errors after running into repeated CUDA, Docker, kernel and UVM issues while renting them out for AI workloads.

A big thank you to Mr. Craig for recommending GPU-Zelenograd's Memtest Vulkan. He purchased 170HX GPUs that showed memory errors and suggested I use the same software to test the 170HX GPUs I'm selling.

I've now sold 20 of these GPUs for approximately $26,000, so I want to make sure the remaining cards I'm selling are properly tested.

In this video I'll show you:

🔹 How I test the 170HX GPUs for memory errors
🔹 How to install Memtest Vulkan on Linux
🔹 How to run the memory test on multiple GPUs
🔹 What happens when a 170HX actually shows memory errors
🔹 My previous CUDA, Docker and UVM problems on SimplePod
🔹 Why I'm questioning whether the crashes are hardware or software related
🔹 My plans to test these GPUs on Vast.ai
🔹 Why the 170HX can be interesting for local AI and LLM workloads
🔹 My experience selling 20 of these GPUs

One of the GPUs I tested showed multiple memory errors, while the other GPUs tested so far were passing the standard test. I'm continuing to test the rest of my cards before reaching a final conclusion.

I'm also going to test the 170HX GPUs on Vast.ai to see whether a different software/kernel environment performs better than SimplePod.

If you own a 170HX, I highly recommend testing your own cards and checking for memory errors before assuming every CUDA or kernel crash is caused by defective VRAM.

⚠️ NOTE: This video documents my testing and observations. I'm not claiming that every 170HX has defective memory or that all SimplePod issues are caused by hardware. More testing is needed.

I've been running these 170HX systems for AI GPU rentals, but I've been dealing with kernel errors, GPU errors, failed Docker instances, potential PCIe issues, and questions surrounding the GPU unlock software and drivers.

In this video, I'm troubleshooting one of my Gigabyte 170HX servers, replacing GPUs, checking the PCIe slots, reseating hardware, and eventually discovering that the server was running a very old BIOS.

I also update the BIOS remotely through the BMC and see if moving from the old R15 BIOS to the newer R26 version helps solve the stability problems.

I'm also dealing with another 170HX server that is currently rented, so I don't want to shut it down while the customer is still actively using the GPU.

I'll also give you an update on my 8x Tesla V100 16GB GPU server, which I've moved over to Vast.ai after previously dealing with port and other setup issues.

These 170HX GPUs have been extremely interesting for AI inference, especially with their large amount of VRAM, but getting everything stable in a multi-GPU server environment has been a learning experience.

If you're running NVIDIA 170HX / 178HX GPUs, AI GPU rentals, Vast.ai, SimplePod, local LLM inference, or multi-GPU servers, I'd love to hear about your experience.

Have you experienced:

• NVIDIA 170HX kernel errors?
• GPU driver crashes?
• PCIe bus errors?
• Docker failures?
• GPU unlocker problems?
• BIOS-related instability?
• Problems running multiple 170HX GPUs?
• Stability issues while renting GPUs?

Let me know in the comments!
