Firmware Purpose
Performance Improvement
One of the primary goals of Vnish is to increase computational power (hashrate) by:
- Increasing ASIC chip clock frequencies
- Selecting optimal operating voltage
It is important to understand: +50% is a marketing maximum achievable only in specific edge cases; real performance gains depend on the miner model, chip quality, power supply, and cooling system. In practice, users most often target a stable 15–20% performance increase while staying within safe temperature limits and acceptable power consumption.
Energy Efficiency Improvement
The second goal is to reduce energy consumption per unit of hashrate (J/TH), which is especially critical in regions with high electricity costs. This is achieved through:
- Low-power mining profiles
- Intelligent per-chip profile autotuning
Description
Vnish firmware is a powerful alternative software solution for BTC and LTC ASIC miners, created to replace the manufacturer’s stock firmware ( Bitmain Antminer). Vnish functions as a full-fledged “operating system”, intelligently managing hardware components, operating modes, and seamless communication with mining pools.
Supported Miners
Vnish firmware is designed for a wide range of modern and classic miner models, providing support for various algorithms and cooling systems.
