Mining hardware is a collection of hardware components designed to perform computations during mining. It includes both computing devices themselves and components that provide power, cooling, control, and physical mounting.

Main Types of Computing Hardware

  • ASICs and ASIC miners;
  • GPU rigs;
  • FPGA miners;
  • CPU miners.

Supporting Components

Full operation of computing hardware requires power supplies, risers, control boards, cooling systems, and mounting structures. The specific set of components depends on the type of miner and the scale of the setup.

When selecting hardware, hashrate, power consumption, power efficiency, operating temperature, and power supply requirements are evaluated.

Hardware is part of the overall mining infrastructure, which also includes power supply, networking, cooling, and control systems.
