Buying guide

New vs used

Both are real options. The difference is warranty coverage and how much of the machine's life is already behind it.

New

  • Sealed from the manufacturer, zero run hours.
  • Remaining manufacturer warranty (varies by unit).
  • Rated hashrate and efficiency out of the box.
  • Higher price per terahash; longer remaining service life.
  • Best when you are hosting long-term or financing the unit.

Used

  • Pulled from operating fleets, cleaned and re-pasted where needed.
  • Every unit is bench-run before it ships and the result is logged.
  • 7-day DOA policy from delivery — if it doesn't hash, we make it right.
  • Typically 20–35% below new for the same model.
  • Best when you want hashrate per dollar today and can accept variance.

How we test

  1. 01 — Intake: serials recorded, chassis and PSU inspected for heat and water damage.
  2. 02 — Bench run: unit is powered under load and hashrate, chip count and board temps are captured.
  3. 03 — Service: fans replaced, thermal paste redone and dust cleared as needed.
  4. 04 — Pack out: foam-boxed for single units, strapped and crated for multi-unit orders.

How we grade used units

A

Like new

All boards hashing at spec, light cosmetic wear, original fans.

B

Clean

All boards at spec, visible scuffs or replaced fans.

C

Working

Hashes within 5% of spec, heavy cosmetic wear. Priced to move.
