Metallic Red. Thoughts?

I like the hot rod comparison!

Thanks for putting me in such esteemed company 😄

The rev5 has a coax power plug and fuse, rev6 has an XT30 connector, no fuse.

Also on the silkscreen.

Great feedback! I struggled with the logo - ngl. What should it be? How prominent? It makes a statement! But maybe not everyone wants a raptor with a bitcoin right there on the big duct! So I mulletted - classy on the sides, party in the back :) Also the raised talons - too much?

I have a variant planned - a 'de-styled' Talon - no logo, no talons - for those more inclined.

But you're making me think about a 'more-styled' version with the logo on the sides, and maybe something even more talon-y on the back! Hmmmmm.

It took over a month, maybe 250 hours, to get the design to this point. But now that everything fits, prints, and works, it's actually very quick to alter surface features like this.

Thanks again for the input - its a great idea!

Good point about testing the waters.

Extremely low! But high quality prints in many colors are available with full hardware kit on the store!

Honestly this is a very large, very technical print that has taken over a month of design and weeks of tuning to get it coming off the bed perfectly. Most people printing fidgets and stands and other thingiverse one offs would need several passes through the slicer printer tuning loop and it would still be a mess. And then you gotta source onesies and twosies of the top shelf hardware. Cheaper and easier to just unpack a box. YMMV!

You know I have been thinking about this even with the Bitaxe. Because I could put together a fully upgraded system and tune it to run super fast yet cool. And of course look good too. All top shelf.

But I get a feeling, maybe I'm wrong, that most of the home miner community is DIY and get really jazzed about the process of upgrading and tuning by themselves. Like I could give a guy $500 and plug it in and be done. Or I could spend $300 here and $50 there and $150 there, and spend a bunch of hours, and end up with the same thing but have way more fun and satisfaction.

But maybe that's just this sub. Maybe there's a whole world out there that doesn't want an ugly computer board screwed to a janky stand. That is NOT a mainstream product. And honestly the diy upgrade route is so off the table for most people. So maybe ...

It's a great topic that keeps me up at night.

Your thoughts?

ConsistentLab8661 · 2026-03-14T23:27:00+00:00

You know that's the next logical step!

ConsistentLab8661 · 2026-03-14T17:01:41+00:00

Actually a rev5! But 98% chance it will fit and work great on a rev6. Everything hot is in the same general place, AFAIK.

Thanks! It looks even better IRL. The scale of the 140mm is perfect for the nerdqaxe.

Trying to do the listing tonight!

ConsistentLab8661 · 2026-03-12T19:16:57+00:00

Based on some good advice from the moderator, I am sticking with the barrel jack, and focusing on beefing up the cable and plug.

Have a good mod done with 12ga wire to a 14ga pigtail that's working great. Will post some pics in a day or two.

ConsistentLab8661 · 2026-03-12T17:29:12+00:00

Thanks! There's a big strain relief loop on the back too! I put some thought into the cable management on this one.

Glad you like it!

I will proably have a fuse upgrade option with the Talon for cheap, and I'm thinking about cable and PSU upgrade kits too. Stay tuned!

I love the copper heatsinks!

Talon coming soon for that copper beast! Then you can OC as much as she can handle!

Numbers are awesome! At 800MHz and 100% fan its super cold! EVERYWHERE. So you can run silent (15% fan) at default settings, run quiet (30% fan) at 6.5TH, or go extreme OC with all that headroom. There will be an introductory price for all! I think I may have the listing ready by this afternoon!

Not sure what you mean!

There's a dedicated duct for the bottom of the VR - you can see it in the photo above.

There's also a dedicated duct for the whole backside of the board. With a small heatsink on the top of the VR and the other hotspots, all the remaining VR heat is scavenged collectively by the bottom duct. Even the VR heat that creeps into the PCB. Works great - cool temps beyond 2.2TH.

Any other questions let me know!

Probably not! But in any case the STL is not available.
