About the MicroBT Whatsminer M3 M3V1 (12TH/s)

Learn more about this ASIC miner, including its specifications, performance, energy consumption, and profitability.

The MicroBT Whatsminer M3 is a pragmatic, entry-level Bitcoin ASIC that delivers a stable 12 TH/s of SHA-256 hashing power while drawing roughly 2000 W from its integrated power supply, an arrangement that simplifies setup but mandates planning for adequate electrical capacity and ventilation; its measured energy efficiency of about 0.167 J/GH translates into predictable operating costs, and its air-cooled design-operating reliably between −10 and 45 °C at a noise level near 78 dB-makes it adaptable for both home rigs (with soundproofing and dedicated circuits) and larger mining farms that can absorb heat and noise at scale. Physically robust and straightforward to deploy, the M3 benefits operators who value repeatable, mechanical performance: place it where airflow is unobstructed, monitor ambient temperature to avoid throttling, and ensure circuit breakers and wiring are rated for continuous high-current loads. Use a crypto-miner profit calculator to model expected revenue and electricity expense across hourly, daily and monthly timeframes, varying hash rate, pool fees, electricity rates and fiat exchange fluctuations to judge break-even and long-term viability; in short, the M3 is a budget-conscious, mechanically honest choice for miners seeking a clear balance of hashrate, efficiency and operational practicality.

Learn more about the MicroBT Whatsminer M3 M3V1 (12TH/s)

The MicroBT Whatsminer M3 (M3V1) is a workmanlike Bitcoin ASIC: a 16 nm SHA‑256 engine housed in an aluminum‑alloy shell that doubles as a heat sink, delivering roughly 12 TH/s while drawing about 2000 W from its integrated PSU and yielding an energy intensity near 0.167 J/GH; this integrated power supply simplifies plug‑and‑play deployment and supports a wide input voltage span for flexible regional installation, but it also constrains fine‑grained power management and upgrade paths compared with modular setups. Cooling is entirely air‑based, the rated ambient operating window is −10 to 45 °C and measured acoustic output sits around 78 dB, so stable continuous hashing requires unobstructed airflow, dedicated ventilation or rack mounting, and, for home use, soundproofing and dedicated high‑current circuits; remember that almost all consumed watts convert to heat (≈2000 W ≈ 6,800 BTU/h), so plan HVAC and electrical capacity accordingly. The 16 nm ASIC remains cost‑effective for budget fleets but lacks the sophisticated onboard tuning found in newer models, meaning efficiency gains typically demand external firmware, hardware mods or careful voltage/frequency adjustments; practical operational hygiene-regular dust removal, fan checks, firmware updates, pool redundancy and ambient temperature monitoring-extends life and prevents thermal throttling. For deployment decisions model expected revenue and break‑even with sensitivity to hash rate variance, pool fees, electricity cost per kWh and exchange volatility, and weigh total cost of ownership including cooling, noise mitigation and higher‑rated wiring against the M3’s mechanical reliability and predictable throughput.
