Zyber 8G — Chasing 10 TH/s at Home Without Going Full Datacenter

Why Zyber 8G caught my eye

I’ve been inching my way up with Bitaxe and NerdQaxe boards, but there’s a gap between “cute little desk miner” and “sounds like a shop vac in the hallway.” Zyber 8G sits right in that middle lane: it’s built like a serious piece of hardware, but still clearly designed for a home office.

On paper, Zyber 8G is a multi-ASIC design targeting 10+ TH/s at around 180 W, built on a reinforced, multi-layer PCB with a lot of love put into power delivery and thermals. AxeOS on top means anyone who’s touched a Bitaxe or NerdQaxe feels at home in the UI.

Price wise, it’s not pretending to be a budget toy — think “starting around $789” depending on the cooling configuration — but the whole pitch is about getting serious hashrate per watt in a form factor that doesn’t dominate your house.

Zyber 8G at a glance

Core idea

Zyber 8G is basically TinyChipHub’s answer to “what if we pushed the Bitaxe/NerdQaxe philosophy up into 10 TH/s territory?”, but with enough headroom in the design that it doesn’t feel like it’s permanently on the edge.

• Multiple BM13xx ASICs on a compact board designed specifically for home use.
• ~10–11+ TH/s hash rate targets with aggressive, but sensible, power tuning.
• Dual-phase power supply and a 6-layer PCB aimed at signal stability and cleaner power.
• AxeOS-based firmware with a clean LCD for live temps, hashrate, and power data.
• Designed by TCH with open-source firmware and docs for people who like to tinker.

Cooling options — standard vs premium

The part that really separates Zyber 8G from “slap a fan on it and hope” builds is the thermal story. TCH ships it in two main flavors built on the same underlying board:

Standard cooling

• Hybrid cooler with dual-fan airflow tuned for the Zyber frame, using a copper–aluminum heatsink.
• The board uses a thick copper layer under the ASICs with direct-contact cutouts so heat dumps straight into that copper plane.
• Spec notes from TCH have it holding comfortable ASIC temps in OC with reasonable room temps and fan speeds — very “desk-rig acceptable” territory.

Premium cooling

• Big tower-style heatsink with multi-heatpipe design and dual FDB fans for extra airflow.
• Tuned for people who want to lean into overclocking while keeping noise and temps sane.
• TCH’s own numbers show OC ASIC temps in the mid-40s to low-50s °C range with fans nowhere near maxed out.

The important bit: same board, same ASICs, same 8G platform. You’re really just choosing how much cooling overhead you want and how you want it to look on the desk.

What I’m expecting in a 10 TH/s desk miner

When I eventually pull the trigger on a 10+ TH/s box, I care way more about long-term comfort and stability than squeezing out the last few hundred GH/s. Zyber 8G checks a lot of boxes for that:

• Power draw that makes sense — ~180 W is still a “normal” plug-and-play number for a home office on a single circuit.
• Noise profile tuned for humans — the cooling stack is clearly designed for a room, not a rack.
• UI I already know — running AxeOS across Bitaxe, NerdQaxe, and Zyber keeps the mental load down.
• Hardware that looks like it’ll last — reinforced PCB, thought-out power pathing, and real heatsinking instead of hope and prayers.

This page is where I’ll drop actual hashrate, temps, and noise notes if and when I add a Zyber 8G to my own stack. For now, it’s the front-runner on my “big jump” list for a home-friendly 10 TH/s class miner.

If you’re considering one

If you’re already comfortable with Bitaxe/NerdQaxe and you’re looking for the next tier up without jumping to full-size ASICs, Zyber 8G is worth a very serious look. It’s not the cheapest thing on the menu, but it’s one of the few options that seems engineered from day one for power-efficient, quiet-ish home mining instead of “small datacenter in a box.”
