What is being tested

See real-world GPU, CPU and ASIC testing, AI rental deployments, power and thermal measurements, networking checks and practical configuration notes.

GPU

Mining and AI workloads

RTX 5090, RTX 4090, RTX 4060 Ti and mining-era GPU systems compared across power, thermals, VRAM, PCIe bandwidth and practical workload fit.

CPU

Consumer and server hosts

Ryzen 7950X, 5900X and AMD EPYC platforms assessed for CPU mining, multi-GPU support, memory bandwidth and concurrent host processes.

ASIC

Purpose-built miners

Bitcoin, Scrypt and other chain-specific ASIC systems evaluated using delivered cost, wall power, noise, heat, firmware and pool compatibility.

AI & DePIN

Decentralized compute

GPU rental nodes tested across Vast.ai, OctaSpace, Salad and related services with attention to uptime, upload, public reachability and real utilisation.

A practical decision sequence

From available hardware to viable workload

The workload follows the constraints of the machine, site and market—not the other way around.

Measure the machine

Document GPU VRAM, CPU cores, RAM, storage, PCIe lane allocation and total wall power.

Assess the environment

Confirm circuit capacity, cooling, noise tolerance, internet upload, CGNAT and required inbound access.

Compare workloads

Evaluate GPU mining, CPU mining, ASIC operation and AI rental demand using current—not historical—conditions.

Configure one system

Use the correct OS, drivers, firmware, pool or marketplace configuration for one controlled deployment.

Run sustained testing

Observe temperatures, power, errors, network behavior and recovery over a representative operating period.

Scale from evidence

Add hardware only after real operating data supports the expected cost, reliability and utilisation.

Software and platform stack

Tools used across the Workbench

Different workloads require different operating systems, management tools and network expectations.

HiveOS

GPU/ASIC fleet configuration, mining software, overclocks, power limits and remote monitoring.

Mining operations

Vast.ai

Linux-based decentralized GPU rental hosting with verification, reliability and network requirements.

AI compute

OctaSpace

A decentralized compute path that can bridge selected mining-era systems into newer workloads.

AI & DePIN

Salad

Windows-based distributed workloads for compatible consumer hardware and simpler initial testing.

Consumer GPUs

ASIC firmware & pools

Chain-specific configuration, efficiency tuning, pool selection and stable long-duration operation.

ASIC mining

Before mining or renting compute

Workbench pre-flight checklist

Use this quick gate before a long-duration test. A profitable-looking workload is not deployable until power, cooling, network reachability and recovery have been verified.

Deployment checks

Wall power measuredTotal system draw is recorded at the outlet under a sustained workload. Circuit headroom confirmedBreaker, outlet, cabling and PSU remain inside a safe continuous-load envelope. Thermal soak passedCore, hotspot, memory, intake and exhaust temperatures stay stable over time. Public reachability checkedPublic IP, CGNAT status, firewall and required port mapping are understood. Upload and latency testedSustained upload, packet loss and latency meet the selected pool or rental platform requirements. Software baseline savedBIOS, Linux or HiveOS, drivers, firmware, containers and clocks are documented. Recovery testedThe system returns after a power, network or process failure without exposing credentials. Revenue assumptions refreshedCoin yield, rental rate, utilisation, fees and exchange rate are current—not copied from an old build.

Hosted AI GPUs

Rental scenarios

Test hourly price, paid utilisation, platform deductions, idle draw and host power without assuming full occupancy.

Measured wall power

Electricity and heat

Convert outlet wattage into monthly USD cost, BTU per hour, heat kilowatts and cooling-load equivalent.

Performance evidence

What gets measured

Headline hash rate or hourly rental price is not enough. Each system is considered as a combination of hardware, electricity, thermal environment, network quality, software stability and available market demand.

Public results are sanitized so IP addresses, credentials, API keys and administrative information are never exposed.

Operating metrics
