Bitaxe Gamma Turbo 801
The Duo's silicon pushed hard: same two BM1370 chips, but a beefier power stage and cooler let it hold 2.15 TH/s stock and past 3 TH/s tuned. You pay for that headroom in both purchase price and efficiency — around 20 J/TH rather than 15.
What it costs, what it might win
Running costs across the site use this rate. The default is a typical household tariff — check your own bill for the real number.
The odds, honestly
At the current network difficulty of 1.262e+14, a Bitaxe Gamma Turbo 801 is expected to find a block roughly once every 7.99K years. That is an average across infinite attempts, not a countdown — a block could come tomorrow, or never.
If you pooled instead
Point the same device at a normal mining pool and you would receive the statistical average steadily instead of gambling on it: about $2.13 a month, against $5.34 of electricity. At your electricity rate that loses money — every 108 sats mined costs $0.1754 in power. Buying the same BTC on an exchange would be cheaper.

The verdict
Best for: Tinkerers who want to overclock and do not mind the efficiency hit.
Strengths
- Highest hashrate of any two-chip Bitaxe
- Substantial overclocking headroom, 3.1 TH/s is routine
- Better VRM and cooling than the Duo
Trade-offs
- Noticeably worse efficiency than the Duo it is based on
- A clear premium over the Duo for 32% more stock hashrate
- Needs a real 100W USB-C PD supply
About Bitaxe
The reference open-source solo miner, designed by Skot and maintained by Open Source Miners United. Bitaxe is a hardware design rather than a company: many vendors build and sell boards from the same public schematics, so quality and price vary by builder.
