The Hydro Qaxe++ takes home mining to the next level with liquid cooling — running quieter and cooler than the air-cooled NerdQaxe++ while squeezing out more performance. Users consistently see 5+ TH/s (compared to 4.8 TH/s on the air-cooled model), thanks to lower operating temperatures that allow the ASIC chips to run more efficiently.
Cool, Quiet, Efficient
The hydro cooling system with LED lighting makes this unit both a conversation piece and a serious miner. It runs noticeably quieter than air-cooled models, making it ideal for living spaces, offices, or anywhere noise matters. The unit comes equipped with an extra fuse for overclock protection — if you push it too far, the fuse prevents damage to the unit (also protects against power surges).
Why Home Mining Matters
Bitcoin mining has become increasingly centralized. Bitaxe exists to give individuals the power to participate — open-source hardware that helps decentralize the network the way Bitcoin was designed. In 2025 alone, over 5 confirmed blocks have been mined using Bitaxe and Nerdaxe open-source hardware.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Hydro different from the air-cooled NerdQaxe++?
The Hydro Qaxe++ uses liquid cooling instead of fans, which means quieter operation, lower temperatures, and more efficient performance. Users consistently see 5+ TH/s compared to 4.8 TH/s on the air-cooled model. It also features LED lighting and an extra fuse for overclock protection.
How quiet is it?
Noticeably quieter than the air-cooled NerdQaxe++. The hydro cooling system produces less noise than traditional fan cooling, making it suitable for living rooms, offices, or bedrooms.
What is the overclock protection fuse?
The Hydro Qaxe++ comes with an extra fuse that prevents damage if you push overclocking too far or in case of a power surge. It’s a safety feature that protects your investment — if the fuse trips, simply replace it and you’re back in operation.
Does it need a water loop or reservoir?
The hydro cooling system is self-contained — no external water loop or reservoir required. It’s designed to be plug-and-play just like the air-cooled models.
How much power does it use?
Approximately 80W, similar to the air-cooled NerdQaxe++, but the hydro cooling allows the chips to run more efficiently, resulting in higher hashrate per watt.
Is a power supply included?
Please check the product listing for current power supply inclusion. Contact us if you need clarification before ordering.
Can I solo mine with this?
Yes. At 5+ TH/s, the Hydro gives you the best solo mining odds of any single Bitaxe unit. Solo mining is lottery-style, but home miners have found blocks. You can also pool mine for consistent returns.
Is this open-source?
Fully open-source hardware and software. Runs AxeOS firmware, designs available on bitaxe.org GitHub.
What’s the return policy and warranty?
360-day warranty on components against manufacturing defects. Returns handled on a case-by-case basis for electronic hardware. Defective units will be replaced.
