MicroBT WhatsMiner M50S++

The current manufacturer manual defines the air-cooled WhatsMiner M50S++ family at 138-158 TH/s +/-5%, 22 J/T +/-5% at 25 C, and 3,036-3,476 W wall power +/-10%. These are the canonical manual specifications; the tolerances do not create additional advertised bins.

The manual lists AC 220-240 V input, an IEC C19 connection rated at 16 A or higher, 350 CFM airflow, Ethernet, a -5 C to 35 C operating range, a 430 x 155 x 226 mm enclosure, 11.5 kg net weight, and 12.6 kg gross weight. Use the individual unit nameplate and local electrical code for installation design. The manual does not establish phase, noise, humidity, altitude, chip details, control-board platform, release date, or retail availability.

Current official-shop revision lane

Reviewed August 27, 2026: the manufacturer’s live shop separately lists 154, 156, and 158 TH/s bins at 22 J/T; a 160 TH/s bin at 22 J/T; and 160 and 162 TH/s bins at 21 J/T. Their displayed nominal power values are 3,388 W, 3,432 W, 3,476 W, 3,520 W, 3,360 W, and 3,402 W respectively.

The 160 TH/s at 22 J/T and the 21 J/T bins are not silently folded into the manual range. They remain dated shop-SKU records because the current PDF ends at 158 TH/s and specifies 22 J/T. The shop also displays a 13.5 kg weight and P221B/P222B supply references, while the PDF explicitly says 11.5 kg net and 12.6 kg gross and does not name a supply model. Confirm the exact SKU, nameplate, and bill of materials; this profile does not guess why those records differ.

Firmware and recovery boundary

This profile identifies a model, not the control-board platform or a recovery image. Record the miner’s raw reported platform, complete displayed type, installed firmware version, cooling class, and current symptom before choosing any update or recovery path. A model name, production revision, or board appearance is not sufficient evidence. Do not treat M5x naming or the air-cooled enclosure as a firmware identity.

• Confirm this miner’s platform before firmware or recovery.
• Only after a resolved, non-conflicting identification, review official firmware and recovery scope.
• For an unknown or conflicting platform, no boot, repeated failed write, or electrical, heat, cooling, or connector concern, request WhatsMiner diagnosis.
