Antminer S17+
Improved S17 with higher hashrate. Uses BM1397 chips. Common in space heater builds and still found on the secondary market.
DCENT_OS Compatible
DCENT_OS is custom firmware developed by D-Central Technologies specifically for home miners. It transforms this miner with whisper-quiet fan profiles, 120V North American outlet support, auto-tuning for maximum efficiency, heater mode integration, and a clean web dashboard for monitoring.
Miners running DCENT_OS score higher on our Home Mining Assessment because the firmware is purpose-built to make industrial hardware livable in residential spaces.
Learn More About DCENT_OS →Professional-Grade Miner
This miner draws 2,920W and produces 75 dB of noise — it is designed for dedicated mining environments, not living spaces. Professional-grade miners deliver the highest hashrate and revenue per unit but require proper infrastructure: a 240V circuit, adequate ventilation or exhaust ducting, and a space where noise is not a concern (garage, basement, warehouse, or outdoor enclosure).
However, this miner is compatible with DCENT_OS — D-Central's custom firmware that adds whisper-quiet fan profiles and 120V North American outlet support. With DCENT_OS installed, this industrial miner can be transformed for home use.
Heater-Class Miner
At 2,920W, this miner outputs approximately 9963 BTU/hr of heat — equivalent to a standard electric space heater. Every watt consumed by an ASIC miner is converted to heat with 100% efficiency, making it a space heater that also mines Bitcoin.
During heating season, miner heat can offset part of the heat a room would otherwise need from another electric heater. The economics depend on your electricity rate, room heat demand, BTC price, network difficulty, and noise constraints.

Actual performance varies by individual unit silicon quality, ambient temperature, and cooling configuration. These operating points are achievable with custom tuning firmware such as DCENT_OS; values are calculated at runtime by the autotuner, not fixed presets.
Home Mining Assessment
Improved S17 with higher hashrate. Uses BM1397 chips. Common in space heater builds and still found on the secondary market.
The Antminer S17+ is a SHA-256 cryptocurrency miner manufactured by Bitmain. It delivers a hashrate of 73 TH/s with a power consumption of 2920W, achieving an efficiency of 40 J/TH.
Built on the BM1397 ASIC chip, uses air cooling, operates at 75 dB noise level, weighs 9.5 kg, measures 298x175x304.
With a home mining score of 84/100, this miner is well-suited for residential use. It produces 9963 BTU/h of heat output, making it effective for supplemental space heating.
At 40 J/TH, the Antminer S17+ sits in the previous-generation efficiency tier; it runs best where electricity is inexpensive, or as a dual-purpose heat source.
Its waste heat (around 9963 BTU/h) can be ducted into a room, turning money you would otherwise spend on heating into hashrate.
D-Central’s in-house technicians repair the Antminer S17+, and it runs DCENT_OS, D-Central’s open-source Antminer firmware.
