ASIC Mining Glossary
Resistive Heating
Resistive heating converts almost all of the electricity consumed into heat, with a thermal efficiency close to 1.
Energy and Heat
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.
