I’ve been mining with smaller units like Bitaxe, Gamma, and I’m thinking about stepping up to a higher-power miner that could also help heat my room this winter. The room is about 12' × 14'. Would an 800W miner actually make a noticeable difference, or would it only work as supplemental heat?

If you’ve run a miner as a space heater, I’d love to hear your experience. How well did it heat your room, and how did you deal with noise and electricity costs?

Silencer kit with emulators, and braiins OS installed.

Is there any reason to put braiins on immersion mode and ignore fans altogether in this scenario? Does it even matter?

We wanted to see what was actually inside the Avalon Mini 3, so we took one apart and documented the process.

Alongside the teardown, we tested the miner's hashrate and noise levels in different operating modes.

For anyone considering one for home mining or heat reuse, we thought it would be useful to show the internal hardware and real-world performance rather than relying entirely on advertised specifications.
