Description
NerdQAxe+ 5.0: planned populated board
Informational listing — purchasing unavailable. This page describes a planned D-Central stock configuration. The intended configuration is a factory-assembled circuit board with every required non-ASIC board component fitted and all ASIC chips excluded. Assembly and package contents remain under verification.
A board without its required ASICs cannot mine. This page does not confirm assembled-unit availability, working-miner performance or completed electrical testing.
Revision and design status
Current latest NerdQAxe+ design source; engineering, sourcing and full assembly scope remain pending. The current upstream documentation identifies NerdQAxe+ revision5.0, and the selected main-board silkscreen says rev5.0. This is the four-ASIC-position plus model, separate from NerdQAxe++ and legacy QAxe designs. The required controller/display module, through-hole parts and complete non-ASIC assembly scope still require supplier review.
The exact design basis is upstream commit be1a4a071def733a601a62b4fda3f3c5558c332e. The pinned revision source, main-board design file and upstream documentation identify the source used for this planned configuration. The pinned main-board source has 4 ASIC positions, references U19, U20, U25, U26; all of those ASIC chips are excluded from the intended board assembly.

Assembly and package checks
The non-ASIC bill of materials, placement files, do-not-populate entries, through-hole parts and supplier assembly capability remain under review. Unresolved design checks and any component-population or part-identification questions must be resolved before a finished board can be described as complete except for its ASICs.
Required controller or display modules, connectors and headers must be accounted for. The final package contents have not been confirmed; do not assume that a power supply, cooling hardware, display, cables, stand or other accessories are included. The finished listing will identify what is fitted, excluded or supplied separately.
Price and stock
No orders are accepted through this listing. Price and stock availability are not yet confirmed. Purchasing remains unavailable while the required engineering, assembly, cost and physical-receipt checks are pending.
