Whatsminer M61S+

Description

Performance and efficiency
The WhatsMiner M61S+ targets SHA-256 coins with high hashrate and solid efficiency. Typical configs range around 240-244 TH/s while drawing roughly 4 kW, yielding near 16.5 J/TH in standard air-cooled operation. This balance helps large farms control operating costs as network difficulty shifts. For stability, it uses robust air cooling with dual intake and exhaust fans to maintain consistent temps under continuous load .

Design and deployment
The chassis follows the familiar MicroBT form factor. Dimensions are about 430 x 155 x 226 mm with weight near 13–13.5 kg, which fits standard racking and ducted airflow setups. Noise levels are typically around 75 dB, so it suits industrial or hosted environments rather than homes. Power input targets 200–240V circuits; plan dedicated breakers and quality cabling to handle ~4+ kW draw per unit safely and efficiently .

Practical operations
Plan airflow front-to-back and keep filters clean to sustain efficiency. Published calculators show modest daily net profits which will vary with BTC price, fees, and pool luck. For best results, monitor firmware, tune fan curves, and group units in consistent thermal zones. If uptime is critical, stock spare fans and PSUs, and track each miner’s efficiency to identify drifts early .
