Introducing the GekkoScience Compac A1 Miner & IcePac Fan Package!
We're thrilled to launch the first product of the GekkoScience Miner Generation 2024: the GekkoScience Compac A1. This cutting-edge stick miner is powered by two Bitmain BM1362 ASICs, the same efficient 7nm chips used in the Bitmain S19j Miner Series. Expect top-tier performance with low power consumption, setting a new standard for home mining.
 
Key Features:
High Efficiency: The Compac A1 achieves an average of 560 GH/s at standard settings with minimal power use. These ASICs have a wide clock speed range, making them perfect for dynamic scenarios like pairing with a small solar power system. Plus, there's ample potential for overclocking with adequate cooling. We know this speed can be pushed more, we are in the early days of testing!
Power Consumption: Enjoy over 30% less power consumption compared to the Compac F, making it an eco-friendly choice without compromising on performance. The main controller can handle up to 20 watts, allowing you to push the ASICs to their limits.
Advanced Telemetry: Finally, Sidehack & Kano (the author of the GekkoScience drivers for CGMiner software) have included a comprehensive telemetry package:
Software monitoring of temperature
Software voltage regulation during operation
Software clock rate adjustments during operation
API access to all telemetry data
This opens up a wide range of applications, from connecting to a small solar power system to temperature-controlled greenhouse heating and beyond.
 
Design and Compatibility:
Integrated Fan Socket: The Compac A1 features a 2-pin fan socket, compatible with previous snap-on coolers such as our very own 'IcePac',  eliminating the need for additional USB splitters.
Future-Ready: As the first product in the new GekkoScience A series, the Compac A1 is just the beginning. Look forward to the upcoming pod miner (R909 successor) and a high-power blade miner in the 1 kW class, all featuring expanded telemetry functions like full monitoring of input/output power, multiple temperature channels, and software-supported fan control.
 
Software:
To date, CGMiner & the A1 drivers are avaialble for Linux. Windows and Mac iterations will follow in due course. The SmartHub supports the A1 sticks already.
 
Get ready to upgrade your mining setup with the GekkoScience Compac A1 - where cutting-edge technology meets unparalleled efficiency and customization.
