Bitmain Antminer G2 Review

The Bitmain Company produces the Bitmain Antminer G2, and it is customized to support the mining of several coins, including Eth, Zcash and XMR, and several others. It has a speed of about 220Mh/s and power consumption of 1200W for ETH mining, mining on the Ethash Algorithm. It is regarded as a pioneer machine with its Eight AMD Radeon RX570 video cards. The G2 is actually a beast with a weight of 15kg. 

It has an optional rack mounting, but not required. The Antminer G2 is fully compatible with windows 10 and has centos 7 loaded on the SSD. The Antminer was released in December 2017 and is seen to be a great choice for house miners. It comes with a powerful Noise level of 72db. This is why the G2 is regarded as a loud mining device compared to the other ones. It comes with 6fans that regulate the temperature as a result of its power consumption and hash rate. The efficiency of this device is 5.455j/Mh.

The G2 is highly recommended. You start it the first time with a monitor, keyboard, and mouse to set up your remote login details, secure, and get an IP. The G2 has a Noise level of 72db with a 6x5 inch high CPM fan that is 6 in number and considered very loud compared to other mining devices. They are said to run at a very high speed.

The Claymoore Eth+ 9.7 came preloaded with, but with a quick download of v10, the device is ready to go. Claymoore setup is very straightforward, and the setup procedure is found in the official thread in the link Bitcointalk here.

The Antminer G2, as a good set up GPU rig, offers the convenience of an all in one package that houses about 8GPUS and the PSU. The cabling is very neat on the inside leaving enough room for airflows. The AMD 570 4GB mining edition GPUS is shorter and has no fans with a large heatsink. The need for cables with extra PSU connections that go with them and the risers are all eliminated by the backplane. 

The backplane is responsible for supplying the slot's power along with one Pci-e cable for each GPU. The backplane also houses the 2 USB ports and the VGA ports, and the rear 3 fans' fan power.

The Antminer G2 is also a great GPU miner for data centers with simple deployment and management. Its compatibility with Windows 10 and Linux OS creates a myriad of configurations for running different algorithms. This is an excellent choice for home users to mine, but they would have to change the fans to a higher cfm and lower DB because the G2 is loud when all the fans are full out. 

The GPU mining rigs that Bitmain usually produces make it easy to mine any coin and quickly deploy a ton of hash power to any coin. GPU mining has stayed the same since it took over from CPU mining, but If you really want fully built GPU miners, the Bitmain Antminer G2 is a great choice.

Power consumption of the Antminer G2

The power consumption of the Antminer G2 is 1200W. This is regarded as a low power consumption compared to the other miners in the market. This device's power consumption was built to be low and not affect the efficiency of the device. The power consumption is also an added advantage for the miners since they will have to spend little on the power supply.
