Twice the hashrate. Better efficiency. A new generation of Nerdaxe.
The Nerdaxe Gaia is a compact SHA-256 ASIC miner built around Bitmain’s new BM1373 ASIC chip. Delivering approximately 2.6 TH/s while consuming around 30W, Gaia represents a major step forward from the previous BM1370-based Nerdaxe Gamma.
The BM1370 Gamma delivers around 1.2 TH/s at approximately 17W, or roughly 17 J/TH. Gaia increases performance to around 2.6 TH/s while improving efficiency to approximately 11 J/TH. In practical terms, you get roughly double the hashrate with substantially better performance per watt.
🚀 Powered by the new BM1373 ASIC
At the heart of the Nerdaxe Gaia is the Bitmain BM1373, a newer generation SHA-256 mining ASIC designed to deliver significantly more hashing performance from a single-chip desktop miner.
-
BM1373: approximately 2.6 TH/s
-
Power consumption: approximately 30W
-
Efficiency: approximately 11 J/TH
-
Previous BM1370 Nerdaxe Gamma: approximately 1.2 TH/s at around 17 J/TH
That makes Gaia particularly interesting for miners who want more performance without moving to a larger multi-chip system.
⚡ More hashrate per watt
The biggest upgrade is not simply the higher hashrate. The BM1373 also delivers a meaningful improvement in energy efficiency.
Compared with the BM1370 generation, Gaia produces roughly twice the hashing power while requiring far less than twice the electrical power. This reduces the amount of energy required for every terahash produced and makes the miner better suited to continuous desktop operation.

⛏️ Built for Bitcoin and SHA-256 mining
The Nerdaxe Gaia performs SHA-256 hashing and can be configured for Bitcoin mining through compatible mining pools or solo-mining infrastructure.
It is particularly well suited to enthusiasts who want to run real ASIC hardware at home without the electrical requirements, heat output, and noise associated with conventional industrial miners.
🎯 Ideal for solo mining
Gaia gives home miners approximately twice the hashing power of the previous single-chip Nerdaxe Gamma, increasing the amount of work your miner contributes every second while retaining a compact desktop footprint.
- Run your own dedicated ASIC miner
- Connect to your preferred compatible mining pool
- Use it with solo-mining infrastructure
- Monitor performance directly from the miner
- Run continuously at relatively low power
Solo mining remains probabilistic and finding a Bitcoin block with a small miner is rare, but every hash is a valid attempt at discovering a block.
🖥️ 1.9"+ full-color display
The integrated 1.9"+ IPS color display provides real-time information directly on the device instead of requiring you to constantly open the web interface.
The graphical interface can display information including:
- Current hashrate
- ASIC temperature
- Power consumption
- Mining efficiency
- Best difficulty
- Mining configuration and pool information
- Bitcoin price information
Two accessible hardware buttons provide additional control directly from the miner.
🌐 Built-in web interface
Gaia includes a browser-based management interface for configuring and monitoring the miner. Once connected to your network, you can access miner settings without installing separate desktop software.
The interface provides access to:
- Mining configuration
- Pool settings
- Performance monitoring
- System logs
- Firmware updates
Initial configuration is handled through the Gaia Series setup portal, making the miner straightforward to bring online.
📶 WiFi connectivity
The Nerdaxe Gaia connects over 2.4 GHz WiFi, allowing it to operate as a self-contained network-connected miner without requiring an Ethernet cable or dedicated computer.
Once configured, the miner operates independently and only requires power and network access.
❄️ Designed for continuous desktop operation
Despite delivering approximately 2.4 TH/s, Gaia remains a compact single-chip miner intended for home, office, lab, and desktop environments.
Active cooling keeps airflow moving across the ASIC and heatsink during continuous operation, with a Noctua fan option available for users who prioritize lower acoustic output.
🔌 Upgraded 12V power system
The increased performance of the BM1373 platform moves Gaia to a 12V DC power system. The miner requires a 12V / 5A supply using a 2.1/5.5 mm barrel connector.
This differs from the previous BM1370 Nerdaxe Gamma, which operated from a 5V supply.

🤔 Gaia or Gamma?
If you already like the compact Nerdaxe format but want significantly more mining performance, Gaia is the natural upgrade.
The BM1370-based Gamma remains a capable low-power miner at approximately 1.2 TH/s, but the BM1373-powered Gaia moves the platform to approximately 2.6 TH/s while improving efficiency from around 17 J/TH to around 11 J/TH.
That means more hashing power, better performance per watt, and a newer ASIC generation without moving away from the compact single-chip desktop format.
New BM1373 ASIC. Around 2.6 TH/s. Approximately 11 J/TH. Built for the next generation of desktop mining.
