How to choose a performance profile

Apply a conservative, balanced or high-performance preset and allow autotuning to finish safely.

5 min readStep-by-step guide

Performance profiles change the balance between hashrate, power consumption, temperature and stability. Start conservatively, measure the result and increase performance only when cooling and power remain stable.

1

Choose the right starting point

  • Conservative: best for hot rooms, limited power, older hardware or first validation.
  • Balanced: the normal starting point for stable power and adequate airflow.
  • High performance: only for proven cooling, sufficient PSU capacity and close monitoring.
Important: The highest advertised hashrate is not automatically the most profitable profile. Compare efficiency, rejected shares, hardware errors and cooling cost.

1. Open Performance settings

Sign in to the miner, open Mining and select Performance. The available presets depend on the exact miner model and firmware version.

2. Select and apply a profile

  1. 1

    Review the expected hashrate and power shown for each preset.

  2. 2

    Select a profile appropriate for the current cooling and electrical conditions.

  3. 3

    Select Save, then Apply.

  4. 4

    Allow the miner to restart and begin autotuning.

3. Let autotuning finish

Hashrate and power can fluctuate while the firmware tests frequencies and voltages. Avoid changing profiles or restarting the miner during this process unless a safety threshold is reached.

Important: Watch chip temperatures, fan speed and input power throughout tuning. Reduce the profile immediately if the miner repeatedly overheats or restarts.

4. Validate before increasing performance

  • All hashboards and chips remain detected.
  • Temperatures stabilise within the limits recommended for your model.
  • Fans do not remain at an abnormal maximum without explanation.
  • Accepted shares rise normally and rejected shares stay low.
  • There are no repeated restarts or rapidly increasing hardware errors.
