Antminer S17 specifications:
One of the largest manufacturers Bitmain continues to produce ASIC-mainers, thereby delighting users with its efficient and high-quality devices. And so in April 2019 were presented 4 asics: Antminer S17, Antminer S17+, Antminer S17pro, Antminer S17e.
Specifications:
– Mining algorithm – SHA256;
– Energy Saving Mode – yes;
– Hash rate – 50/53TH ±6%.
– Power Consumption – 2250/2385W ± 7%
– Power Efficiency – 45J/TH ± 10%
– Chip technology – 7nm; Number of chips – 144;
– Number of boards – 3;
– Indoor temp – 5 – 35°C
– Dimensions – 298.2/178.0/296.6mm Weight – 9.5 kilograms.
The main advantages of Antminer S17:
– Energy saving
– Reliable computing power;
– Second-generation chip;
– Two modes of mining: weak and normal;
It should be noted that Antminer S17 with the help of Vnish can be modified to increase its efficiency up to 40%! This could make it very similar to Antminer T19 in terms of efficiency and price.
Profitability antminer S17 and payback:
Even though this asic is already an obsolete model, it is still capable of making profit especially with Vnish firmware, as mining is more an investment in the future than making profit in the here and now.
One of the most important things is accounting and the exchange rate, which is constantly changing, it can both make you rich and damage your wallet.
Regular S17, taking into account the cost of the asic – $ 3,934, at the moment is able to bring about $ 170 a month. Payback will be about 2 years
S17 pro at a price of $ 5,507 also brings about $ 170 per month, which is noticeably slower to pay for itself – 2 and a half years.
Conclusion:
Antminer S17 and its versions are already oldies in the business, but they can still be suitable for fans of BTC mining, although we do not recommend them to buy, because there are better models, with higher power efficiency and better pricing. For example Antminer S19!
