Bitmain Antminer X5 (212kH)

Engineered with a disciplined, purpose-driven clarity for RandomX workloads, the Bitmain Antminer X5 achieves 212 kH/s while drawing roughly 1,350 W, which corresponds to an energy intensity near 6.37 joules per kilohash, making it a compact yet potent choice for focused mining of RandomX coins such as Monero and Zephyr; its 428 × 195 × 290 mm chassis and 16.9 kg mass are calibrated for medium-scale or professional rigs where rackable density and predictable thermal behavior matter, and its steady 75 dB operating level, wide 100–240 V input range and Ethernet networking support underline a design intended for continuous, long-term deployments; beyond raw figures, the X5’s architecture rewards disciplined operational practices-adequate ventilation, power conditioning, and firmware monitoring-to sustain efficiency and hash-rate stability, and for miners prioritizing RandomX it offers a compelling balance of performance, energy economy, and physical footprint that makes each deployment a precise test of infrastructure resilience and operational rigor.

The Antminer X5 is built for continuous RandomX work and favors stability over flashy peaks. It produces about 212 kilohashes per second and draws roughly 1350 watts, yielding an energy footprint near 6.37 joules per kilohash. It excels at mining RandomX coins such as Monero and Zephyr and fits into fleets that demand predictable throughput. Cooling is managed to keep hash rates steady under sustained load. Ethernet networking simplifies deployment and remote monitoring in multi-unit installations. Operators profit most when pairing the unit with solid ventilation, clean power and proactive firmware oversight. The hardware rewards disciplined operation with durable efficiency and low variance in output. In short, the X5 is a focused solution for miners who need reliable RandomX performance and clear operational expectations.

RandomX is a cryptographic hash function that serves as the backbone of Monero proof-of-work consensus mechanism. This algorithm processes input data of any length and produces a fixed hash value, ensuring security and integrity in the mining process.
