quoting note1lff…p6pxDecentralize Bitcoin Mining – one #Bitaxe a time 🔥💜
Having recognized that the Bitaxe Gamma is out of stock at most European shops right now, let's have a look at the pros and cons of the Bitaxe Supra:
Pros:
- cheaper than the Bitaxe Gamma (€115 vs. €185 at GoBrrr)
- equipped with a Noctua fan, almost silent (I'm very sensitive regarding noise and was actually surprised by the low noise level of my Supra)
- high availability in shops
- slightly lower power consumption than the Gamma
Cons:
- lower hashrate (up to 700 GH/s vs. up to 1.15 TH/s)
- lower chance of finding a block (see hashrate)
Let me dive into the noise aspect a little: my Bitaxe Gamma got two Noctua fans built in, one at the front and one in the back of the case. As the Gamma has a higher hashrate than the Supra, a larger amount of heat is generated, which the fans have to take care of. So, the Gamma is far more noisy than the Supra. Why does that matter? Well, ask yourself where you would place your Bitaxe. On your desk? In the garage? Yes, you can lower the hashrate of your Gamma to reduce the noise level but then you would end up at similar hashrates as the Supra would provide.
Long story short, if you're about to get into the world of Bitaxe miners, starting with a Bitaxe Supra can still make sense in 2025.
