Introducing the NerdQaxe+ Hydro – A Home Bitcoin Miner
We’re excited to launch the NerdQaxe+ Hydro — a compact, high-efficiency Bitcoin miner designed for home users, tinkerers, and builders who care about performance, control, and aesthetics. Purpose-built for the open-source mining community, the NerdQaxe+ Hydro blends advanced thermal engineering, intuitive software, and striking design to bring a new level of capability to home mining.
Light It Up — Customizable ARGB Lighting
Built into the NerdQaxe+ Hydro is a fully addressable ARGB lighting system featuring over 200 dynamic lighting modes. Whether you prefer a soft glow, rainbow wave, or rapid pulse effect, you can easily adjust color, brightness, speed, and pattern to match your setup or mood. With the included remote, you have complete control over the lighting — or you can turn it off entirely when you want a more minimalist look. It’s functional, customizable, and adds a polished finishing touch to your rig.
Smart Cooling for Serious Results
At the core of the NerdQaxe+ Hydro is a custom all-in-one liquid cooling system designed specifically for ASIC chips. It uses a solid copper cold plate with high-density microchannels, maximizing thermal conductivity and keeping chip temperatures stable under load. The system comes pre-filled, sealed, and leak-proof, eliminating the need for maintenance or refills.
Heat is expelled through a high-efficiency aluminum radiator, which keeps the miner running cool even during 24/7 operation. This results in greater thermal stability, reduced wear on the hardware, and consistent hashrate output — no throttling, no thermal spikes.
Open Source Control with AxeOS
The NerdQaxe+ Hydro runs on AxeOS, a powerful open-source operating system developed for Bitaxe-based miners. With a clean, browser-accessible interface, AxeOS gives you full control over your mining setup: view real-time stats, adjust voltage and frequency, switch mining pools, and manage your configuration with ease — all without needing to write a single line of code.
OTA (over-the-air) updates make it easy to stay current with the latest firmware features and improvements. AxeOS brings the best of open-source flexibility with none of the typical headaches.
Built by the Community, For the Community
The NerdQaxe+ Hydro is proudly rooted in the open-source mining movement. It’s made possible by the contributions of the Bitaxe project, AxeOS developers, and a vibrant network of builders, coders, and Bitcoiners pushing the boundaries of decentralized hardware.
The design is not only functional — it's proudly display-worthy. The included stand is made from laser-cut, powder-coated steel, giving it a modern, durable foundation. Combined with the precision components and customizable lighting, the NerdQaxe+ Hydro is built to look as sharp as it performs.
Join the Future of Home Mining
The NerdQaxe+ Hydro is more than a miner — it’s a platform for exploration, education, and contribution. Whether you're mining for yield, running it for fun, or building to learn, it offers unmatched flexibility, quiet performance, and open control in a beautifully engineered package.
