Description
A microSD card imaged with overclocking firmware for the Bitmain Antminer L7. It works the simplest way any firmware mod can: power the miner down, insert the card, power it back up. Take the card out and the machine goes back to stock. That reversibility is the genuine appeal — you are not flashing anything permanently.
What the Antminer L7 actually is (this page used to get it wrong)
The L7 is a Scrypt miner. It mines Litecoin and Dogecoin. It does not mine Bitcoin and it does not run SHA-256. A previous version of this page listed “Hash Algorithm: SHA-256” and “Compatible Currency: Bitcoin”, which is wrong on both counts, and it also quoted hashrates in “GHz” — a unit of frequency, not of hashrate. The correct reference figures for the machine this card is for:
| Algorithm | Scrypt |
|---|---|
| Coins | Litecoin (LTC) and Dogecoin (DOGE), merge-mined |
| Stock hashrate | 9,050 MH/s — that is 9.05 GH/s, on the L7 9050M |
| Stock power | ~3,260 W (some vendors publish 3,425 W for the same model) |
| Stock efficiency | ~0.36 J/MH |
| Supply | 200–240 V AC |
About the “up to 11 GH/s” figure — the honest version
Our own listing title says up to 11 GH/s and we are not going to let that stand without qualifying it. Treat 11 GH/s as a best case on a well-binned, well-cooled machine with real PSU headroom, not as a specification. What you actually get depends on the individual unit’s silicon, its intake temperature and whether its power supply can deliver more than stock. Some machines get close; some do not get near it.
Three things people underestimate, so we will say them plainly:
- Power rises faster than hashrate. Overclocking makes a machine faster and less efficient — your J/MH gets worse, not better. If your electricity is expensive, an overclock can move you further from break-even, not closer. The buying guide has the arithmetic.
- Your PSU has to carry it. A stock L7 supply sized for ~3,260 W does not have unlimited spare capacity. An overclock that the boards can survive can still be one the PSU cannot.
- It shortens the machine’s life and voids the manufacturer warranty. More heat and more current through the same hardware is the trade you are making. On an out-of-warranty machine that may well be worth it. On a new one, think harder.
What ships, and what backs it
A microSD card carrying the firmware image, plus a how-to manual, plus free configuration consultation by remote desktop, text or WhatsApp. The card’s capacity and brand vary — the image is small and works on any of the sizes we ship. This is third-party software on a generic card, so per the listing it is non-returnable. Earlier copy on this page promised a 6-month manufacturer’s warranty; there is no manufacturer behind an imaged SD card, and the claim contradicted the non-returnable term on the same page, so it has been removed. Ask us anything before you buy — this is a product where the conversation beforehand is worth more than the returns policy afterwards.
