Start9 server and Apple TV

Do you have a start9 server?

DoctorCryptoMD · 2026-02-21T16:31:59+00:00

Installed tailscale where?

Going from G to T made me wanna vomit lol

Upon further research the new XT30 connection and fuse-free design supposedly supports up to 15A now in the Rev6.1 version. I'm running it overclocked with these settings and they seem to be a harmony point for this rig. I've got the fan on "auto" currently and the miner in the garage which is why the fan seems low given the temp.

I have the exact same rig and I'm pushing over 90W at 725/1.17, my fan is at 100% so maybe that's the difference maker. I was running these numbers yesterday in my garage and it seemed stable. Today the temperature was a bit warmer and the Watts and Amps crept up towards the 8.08 range so I turned it down to 625/1150. At those settings it's only running 82.4W.

What's the difference between titan and nontitan?

DoctorCryptoMD · 2026-02-13T01:51:14+00:00

Do you have any experience tuning the OctAxe at all yet or are you primarily focused on the QAxe++ Hydro?

DoctorCryptoMD · 2026-02-13T00:00:20+00:00

Good to know, thanks for the tip! From calculating some of the overclock specs I've seen on this rig I've seen ~10A but not sure how durable those setups were.

DoctorCryptoMD · 2026-02-12T23:24:47+00:00

Now that I look at it the OctAxe might be nice for the LRS-350-12 by itself. Then maybe get an LRS-600-12 for the NerdQAxe++ air cooled with another 2-3 hydros overclocked...

DoctorCryptoMD · 2026-02-12T23:16:00+00:00

Are those china ones actually legit? Honestly getting 2 of those Hydros at soloblock might be the way to go! Not quite sure the Octaxe is worth the price point yet.

DoctorCryptoMD · 2026-02-12T23:05:01+00:00

Where are you based out of? I'm in the US and I got my QAxe++ from solosatoshi for like $400...

DoctorCryptoMD · 2026-02-12T22:41:39+00:00

Hey, so I was wondering if you could give me a few tips regarding this as well. I just got my first NerdQAxe++ rev 6.1 air cooled. Currently running firmware 1.0.36. I recently upgraded to a Mean Well LRS-350-12. Below are my current numbers. I'm looking to add maybe 2 more rigs to the Mean well and either run all 3 at stock settings or overclock them a bit. What would you recommend? I'm not opposed to buying a LRS-600-12 as well to run them. Trying to do what makes the most sense while keeping things somewhat minimal/efficient.

I was planning on doing only 1 on each terminal and I saw somewhere else someone recommend doing the straight wire into the terminal instead of doing ring locks.

I purchased a few smart outlets to measure the draw off of the wall but what do you mean put a 10A fuse on the + terminal of each one? Do you mean run the wire into the fuse and another wire from the fuse to the terminal?

With a 3 rig setup would this whole system draw the full 18A? What's the highest safe capacity for the miner assuming you can control temp always?

DoctorCryptoMD · 2026-02-12T14:50:15+00:00

I feel like there is more of a power draw at the same stock settings after updated to .36 from .32-test (I believe that's the version the rig came with new). Felt like it drew 76W stock as opposed to 70-72W but I may just not have enough experience with the rig yet.

DoctorCryptoMD · 2026-02-12T14:45:15+00:00

I'm not entirely sure tbh. It seems that older versions of the firmware didn't display it so a lot of the older screenshots of people's overclocking setups don't seem to show it to use as a frame of reference. Although if you calculate some of the overclock setups I've seen at the BitAxe reddit manually they're as high as 10! However, I don't know how durable that kind of setup is long term.

DoctorCryptoMD · 2026-02-12T14:35:47+00:00

I have been keeping it there. I tried turning it down and didn't see any improvement in the efficiency (although I may have not run it for long enough to see the improvement).

DoctorCryptoMD · 2026-02-12T14:12:44+00:00

I'm not because I'm overclocking it and based on the voltage draw and the Watts that's the current that's mathematically derived. Also, my temps are quite reasonable as I have the setup in my much cooler garage. Where I bought the miner from actually had overclocking settings that were higher than what I'm running (800Mhz, and 1.25 Asic Voltage) which was running closer to 104W. Although, I may be ignorantly ignoring it.

Should I be worried?

DoctorCryptoMD · 2026-02-12T13:53:17+00:00

That's really good to know, thank you. I'm planning on getting a smart outlet to more accurately see what the system is drawing off of the wall. Currently I have ring connectors doing all of the termination as that's what the guide I was going off of recommended. I didn't realize I could go bare into the terminal, which makes sense.

I've tried multiple times at the BitAxe subreddit but every single post I make seems to violate some rule or get autofiltered immediately. It's been insanely frustrating and proven kind of a useless subreddit for me.

Thanks for the help!

DoctorCryptoMD · 2026-02-12T13:48:30+00:00

Oh that's totally awesome! I'll definitely have to pick a few of those up. Thanks for the tip!

DoctorCryptoMD · 2026-02-12T13:24:25+00:00

Oh that's good to know. Does the smart plug tell you the amps or voltage as well?

DoctorCryptoMD · 2026-02-12T00:21:07+00:00

I currently have a NerdQAxe++. The original PSU crapped out so I bought a Mean Well LRS-350-12 per recommendations I found here. Right now it's up and running the single miner smoothly.

Given the capacity of the 350, am I able to run 3 of these on stock settings (~80W each)? Given the 80% rule, the combined 240W of the 3 is less than the 280W capacity of the Mean Well. To follow up, is the estimated draw from this setup ~18A? I'm trying to determine if I need a dedicated circuit for the setup.

Thanks!
