Design features

Whatsminer M20S 62Th consists of the following elements: two coolers (12 volts), built-in power supply (up to 20 amperes), control board, three hash boards. The ASIC is made of an easily alloyed aluminum body, which is weakly susceptible to heat and corrosion.

Two fans are located in parallel on the sides of the rectangular structure, the power supply is located on top. Coolers effectively remove heat outside, they work quite quietly. Additional panels provide efficient airflow to the cooling system. However, such a device is not suitable for a residential building, especially when operating at maximum performance.

The power consumption of the M20S, in comparison with its predecessor M20V2, has become even lower, which is explained by the slightly changed configuration of the chip.

Payback period and profitability

The profitability of the M20S can be calculated using the popular service Whattomine. With a productivity of 68 TH, the income is $ 0.50 excluding electricity costs. This is not the highest indicator among mining equipment, however, given the cost of the ASIC, the payback will be 6-7 months.

According to this indicator, the M20S is ahead of its two main competitors - Cheetah F1 and Cheetah F5i, which pay off in an average of 7-9 months. The payback period can be reduced if the situation in the cryptocurrency market improves. The main digital currency is Bitkoin, the profitability depends on this coin (even if you mine another token).

Connection and configuration

To connect the M20S to the network, the owner will need a 3x2mm cable and patch cord to create an Ethernet connection. After starting the device, you need to open the control panel, this is done by installing the software (you can download it on the official website of the manufacturer).

In the control panel, the owner can change the password, configure the pool, reboot the system, change the wallet, workers, etc. To find out the performance of each board, click Status, to check the system logs and running processes - CGMiner API Log. The operating mode is configured with the Power button (Normal mode and Low power mode).
