BM1370 ASIC Chips and Desktop Bitcoin Miners: A Buyer’s Guide

Buying BM1370 ASIC chips for a repair workshop is a different task from choosing a desktop Bitcoin miner. Hardware developers have another set of requirements, especially when planning a branded product.

The right starting point is your application: repairing an existing board, operating a complete miner, or developing new mining hardware.

This guide explains what to check and introduces relevant BM1370 products available through PunkHash.

What Is a BM1370 ASIC Chip?

The BM1370 is a Bitmain SHA-256 ASIC used in Bitcoin mining hardware. It is a component within a complete mining system.

A working miner also needs a compatible circuit board, suitable power delivery, cooling, control hardware and firmware. The chip model alone does not determine the finished machine’s hashrate or power consumption.

 

PunkHash supplies BM1370 ASIC chips for compatible hashboard repair and mining hardware development. Buyers should confirm the full chip marking, target board and required condition when requesting a quotation.

Buying BM1370 Chips for Hashboard Repair

For repair centers and maintenance teams, compatibility should come before quantity and price.

Before ordering, prepare:

      • A clear photograph of the original chip marking.

      • The miner model and hashboard PCB revision.

      • Required quantity.

      • Preferred chip condition and testing requirements.

      • Delivery country and postcode.

    Ask your supplier to specify the supplied version, condition, packaging, testing scope and after-sales terms in the quotation.

    Chip replacement requires suitable repair equipment and technical experience. Correct installation, power delivery and thermal management all affect the repair outcome.

    Comparing Complete BM1370 Desktop Bitcoin Miners

    If your goal is to operate a miner, a complete device lets you evaluate the board, cooling and control system together.

    The following models illustrate different BM1370 configurations listed on the PunkHash website.

    Model BM1370 Chips Listed Hashrate Listed Power
    Bitaxe Gamma 602 1 1.8 TH/s 25W
    Nexus QX1 4 8 TH/s ±5% 160W ±10%
    Bitaxe Gamma Hex 1300 — default 6 8.4 TH/s 150W
    Bitaxe Gamma Hex 1300 — overclocked 6 10.5 TH/s 200W

    These are product specifications. The power measurement point is not identified for these figures, so confirm wall-outlet consumption for the configuration you plan to purchase.

    Bitaxe Gamma 602: A Single-Chip Desktop Option

    The Bitaxe Gamma 602 desktop Bitcoin miner combines one BM1370 chip with fan cooling and an onboard display.

    Its listed specifications are 1.8 TH/s and 25W. This compact configuration is an option for buyers interested in hands-on learning, hardware demonstrations and desktop mining.

    Before ordering, confirm the included power supply, firmware and setup requirements.

    Nexus QX1: Four BM1370 Chips in One Device

    The Nexus QX1 8 TH/s desktop Bitcoin miner uses four BM1370 chips, with listed power consumption of 160W ±10%.

     

    Its fan-cooled layout and built-in color status display allow users to observe operating information directly on the device.

    For buyers comparing several models, request operating videos and confirm the supplied configuration, cooling arrangement and package contents.

    Bitaxe Gamma Hex 1300: Default and Overclocked Configurations

    The Bitaxe Gamma Hex 1300 six-chip Bitcoin miner is listed at 8.4 TH/s and 150W in its default configuration, or 10.5 TH/s and 200W when overclocked.

    The pictured configuration includes liquid cooling and an onboard screen.

    Compare both operating points when selecting a power supply and planning ventilation. Confirm supported settings and warranty conditions before using an overclocked configuration.

    Planning a Branded Desktop Miner

    For distributors and brands, selecting a reference model is only the beginning.

    A useful OEM/ODM brief should define:

        • Target customer and intended use.

        • Desired hashrate and power budget.

        • Cooling, size and appearance requirements.

        • Branding, packaging and user interface requirements.

        • Sample quantity, forecast volume and target market.

      PunkHash provides OEM/ODM services for desktop mining hardware. Customization scope, engineering work, sample testing and production timing are evaluated against the project requirements.

      Starting with a clear brief helps both sides assess feasibility and prepare a relevant quotation.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      Can I mine Bitcoin using only a BM1370 chip?

      A bare chip needs a compatible board, power system, cooling and firmware. Buyers seeking an assembled device should compare complete desktop miners.

      Does the same BM1370 chip guarantee the same performance?

      Performance depends on the complete hardware design, operating settings, cooling and power delivery. Compare specifications for the finished device.

      What should I send when requesting a chip quotation?

      Send the full chip marking or a clear photograph, target board model, quantity, preferred condition, testing requirements and delivery destination.

      What should I confirm before buying a desktop miner?

      Confirm the supplied configuration, power adapter, firmware, mining setup support, wall-power consumption, warranty and shipping terms.
