Resistive Heating: ASIC Mining Definition

ASIC Mining Glossary

Resistive Heating

Resistive heating converts almost all of the electricity consumed into heat, with a thermal efficiency close to 1.

Why It Matters

An ASIC also produces heat; the question is whether that heat is usefully recovered. Browse our home miners to compare lower-power models.

What to Watch For

A miner is still a computer: noise, dust, maintenance, and connectivity matter as much as heat. Our ASIC support and repairs team can help with maintenance.
