Investors who are often in the currency circle should be familiar with the concept of mining. We know that general mining requires the use of mining machines. There are many types of mining machines on the market, such as Antminers. With Shenma Mining Machine, miners can choose at will. For miners, the most important thing is the income from mining, and the computing power of the mining machine is directly related to their monetary income. Recently, many miners have reported that the computing power of their mining machines It started to drop and mining slowed down a lot. Many miners don’t know why the computing power of their mining machines has dropped? Let’s take a look at the analysis of the editor of the currency circle on the reasons for the decline in mining machine computing power.

 Why does the mining machine computing power decrease?

1\. During the mining process, a large number of graphics cards are usually connected in parallel for data processing.

2\. The working environment of the graphics card will be very harsh. It is common for the ambient temperature to reach over 50 degrees, and the operating temperature of the graphics card itself will definitely exceed the state where you enjoy good cooling system protection in the chassis when you play games every day.

3\. In addition, the power supply module of the graphics card will suffer very serious losses when running under high load for a long time. Running the mining program for several months is equivalent to working continuously for several months in the aging test section of the factory.

There is a possibility that after a long period of mining, the electronic components of a general graphics card, such as video memory, capacitors and resistors, will age faster than normal due to long-term operation at close to full power consumption, resulting in far lower actual performance. Less than the theoretical performance, your mining computing power is low and there is an algorithm problem. The algorithm cannot use 100% of the graphics card computing power, such as Ethereum and Litecoin. Added memory dependency mechanism. The removal of memory outside the graphics card is also one of the limitations of mining.

When it comes to digital currency mining, one word we often mention is the computing power of the mining machine, such as: Maya D2 Ethernet cloud computing power, Maya X1 bit cloud computing power. In fact, the meaning of computing power is very simple. It represents the computing power and computing performance of the mining machine. Specifically, it represents the number of overall hash algorithm operations of the mining machine per second.

 What should I do if the mining machine’s computing power decreases?

Malfunctions of the mining machine itself, temperature, and firmware viruses may cause the mining machine to shut down or lose computing power.

1. Failure of the mining machine itself

There are many types of mining machine failures, the most common ones are hash board failure, broken fans, and broken power cords. The latter two are easier to understand. Without going into too much introduction, here I will focus on the faults of the hash board.

Ant’s T17 series of mining machines have more frequent hash board failures. For example, Ant's T17e has three hash boards, each with more than 100 heat sinks. In order to save costs, these heat sinks are fixed to the hash board using solder paste and low-temperature brazing. When the mining machine is running, if the temperature is too high, a flux called "rosin" in the solder paste will melt, causing the heat sink to loosen and fall, causing the entire hashing board to short-circuit, ultimately causing the mining machine's computing power to decrease.

Since the heat sink is very small and connected to the chip, it increases the difficulty of repairing the mining machine. If this happens, it can usually only be repaired by the mining machine manufacturer, or the damaged computing power can be directly replaced with a new computing power board. plate.

2. Temperature

Temperature and humidity also have a relatively large impact on mining machines. If the temperature is too high or too low, it will also cause the mining machine's computing power to decrease. Currently, mines mainly use fans and water curtains to control the temperature inside the mine.

3. Firmware virus

In addition to the hardware failure of the mining machine that will cause the mining machine to shut down or lose its computing power, if there is a virus in the firmware of the mining machine, it will also affect the computing power of the mining machine. It is actually very simple to avoid firmware viruses. Only use the firmware version officially launched or recommended by the mining machine manufacturer.

To sum up, this is the editor’s answer to the question of why the computing power of mining machines has declined and the analysis of the reasons for the decline in computing power of mining machines. Many investors may think that mining is a once-and-for-all way to make money, but what everyone doesn’t know is that mining is not as simple as imagined. There are many reasons that affect the income of mining machines, so the income of mining machines drops. situations often occur. If you are still a newbie in the currency circle and want to invest in digital currency, it is recommended to start by buying coins on the trading platform, and then try mining after you have enough understanding of the currency circle.
