Automatic fan optimization
Basin maps how your site responds to fan speed and uses that measured history to adapt to changing conditions, within the site’s operating limits.
Basin automatically adjusts your exhaust fans through the VFDs already on site. It looks for the fan speed that uses the least total power at the same hashrate, with live monitoring, alerts, and remote control for your team.
Try it free on one pod and see your own number. Runs locally on your own hardware, using the fan drives, metering, and miner telemetry already on site. No miner firmware changes.
Basin adjusts the exhaust fans automatically, gives your team remote control, and flags cooling problems.
Basin maps how your site responds to fan speed and uses that measured history to adapt to changing conditions, within the site’s operating limits.
See fan speed, temperatures, miner-fan effort, and power by zone, with operating history. Set a manual fan-speed override remotely and return to automatic control when ready.
Basin adjusts the fans. Select manual override to try the controls.
Receive alerts for high temperatures, drive faults, and stale telemetry. Find the affected equipment and review its recent behavior from the same interface.
More exhaust uses fan power, but can reduce miner-fan effort and cool the chips. Cooler chips can draw less power at the same settings because silicon leakage falls.
Basin measures the combined response to find the better fan setting.
The facility fans do more work.
Miner fans work less.
Cooler chips lose less power to leakage.
Basin checks that tradeoff while keeping temperatures and equipment within site limits.
During the trial, one pod alternates between the fan control you run today and Basin. The report compares them under similar conditions and shows every interval. Export the underlying data as CSV to check the math.
The headline reference is your own control policy, measured live on the same pod.
Intervals are matched on similar weather, miner load, and hashrate using miner and exhaust power readings. Calculated inputs are labeled.
Illustrative example: over one hour, that is 11 kWh saved—the first row below.
If Basin uses more power, the report counts negative savings. If conditions cannot be matched, the interval is marked unverified. Each report is labeled with the season it ran in, and subscribed sites get the comparison rerun in the hottest and coldest months.

One pod, on your own hardware, installed remotely, for 2–4 weeks. There is no charge for the trial.
Send a trial request. We check your equipment and agree the price and a decision date in writing before anything is installed.
We install and configure Basin remotely on a PC at your site, then walk through the setup with your team on a short video call.
Your current fan control and Basin take turns on the same pod. At the end you get a one-page report comparing the two, and you tell us by the agreed date whether to continue.
Nothing you pay depends on measured savings. The trial shows you the result; you decide whether it is worth it.
Charged only when you continue after the trial.
Runs on your own PC (Intel N100 or better, 4 GB RAM, 100 GB SSD). Any on-site field work is quoted separately.
Billed on the average number of miners online that month. $250 minimum per site.
The first 12 months are required, then month to month.
Example: 3,000 miners online: $9,000 setup + about $600/month, before taxes.
After 12 paid months, Basin keeps running if you stop. The controller continues on your site’s last map with its safety limits and local dashboard. New map updates, remote access, alerts, backups, software updates, and support stop. You can resubscribe at any time, for example after adding miners.
The price and a decision date are set in writing up front. If you don’t continue, we restore your original drive settings and the controller stops. Either way you get the one-page report: your policy vs. Basin on that pod, labeled with the season it ran in. We’ll also ask up front whether we may share the results.

I spent four years running air-cooled mines: thousands of miners, VFDs, curtailment, firmware testing, and the cooling problems that only show up in production. Basin is the control layer I wanted on those sites and could not buy. I run the trials and commissioning myself, and work directly with your team to get the controls and measurements right for your operation.
A temperature controller responds to its temperature target. Basin evaluates how exhaust speed affects total power at the same hashrate. During the trial, your controller and Basin take turns on the same pod, so you can see the difference on your own site.
We evaluate the opportunity on your equipment rather than publish a universal savings figure. Fan capacity, miner fleet, weather, and existing controls all matter. The free trial measures your own number on one pod before you pay anything. Results include the reference used and the conditions covered; we do not claim a comparison when the data is insufficient.
No. You pay the published setup and monthly price regardless of measured savings. The trial is how you decide whether Basin is worth it for your site.
Yes, that is the main result of the trial. Basin and your existing control policy alternate on the same pod, readings are allowed to settle, and similar conditions are compared. Fixed-speed references are included as supporting detail.
If maximum airflow is necessary throughout the operating range, there may be little room for fan-speed optimization. If it is needed only during the hottest periods, other hours may offer useful adjustment. The trial shows the difference on your site before you pay; if there is little to gain, you simply don’t continue.
A small PC on the site network: Intel N100 or better, 4 GB RAM, and a 100 GB SSD. We provide the installer, and the hardware stays yours. Your drives need to be reachable over the network, directly or through a PLC. Power meters are optional but let Basin find larger savings.
Internet loss affects remote access while the local loop can continue. Controller or local communications loss invokes the behavior configured in your drives and controls. We document and test that behavior during commissioning, including the steps for manual operation and recovery.
Your qualified local technician handles physical work using the site handover information. We provide remote Basin configuration support. Replacement hardware, a preconfigured spare, or a field visit can be quoted separately. The subscription does not include staffed 24/7 monitoring or emergency dispatch.
After the trial, or if you cancel within the first 12 months, we restore your original drive settings and the controller stops. After 12 paid months, the controller keeps running your site’s last map locally, with its safety limits and local dashboard; map updates, remote access, alerts, backups, software updates, and support end. Either way, stopping never switches the fans off, and you keep your hardware, documentation, and exported data.
Miner access is read-only. Basin controls exhaust fan speed and monitors the signals relevant to cooling. Your existing tools continue to handle pools, firmware, miner tuning, and fleet operations.
An email is enough to start. Aidden will follow up to check your equipment, then agree the price and a decision date with you before the trial starts.
Trials run remotely on one pod for 2–4 weeks, at no charge.
