Efficiency
Mining efficiency analytics comparing actual W/TH performance against nominal specifications across your fleet.
The Efficiency report tracks your fleet's power efficiency measured in W/TH (watts per terahash). Compare actual performance against manufacturer specifications to identify optimization opportunities and equipment issues.
For real-time efficiency display, see the Header. For power consumption details, see the Energy report.
Understanding W/TH efficiency
W/TH measures how much power (watts) is required to produce one terahash of computing power. Lower values indicate better efficiency.
| W/TH range | Interpretation | Typical causes |
|---|---|---|
| Below nominal | Exceptional efficiency | Optimal cooling, favorable conditions |
| At nominal | Expected performance | Normal operation |
| 5-15% above nominal | Minor degradation | Elevated temperatures, aging equipment |
| 15%+ above nominal | Significant issues | Cooling problems, failing components |
Manufacturer specifications (nominal W/TH) assume optimal operating conditions. Real-world efficiency varies with temperature, altitude, and equipment age.
