How to monitor your Antminer KS5
Run the lightweight connector agent on any PC or Raspberry Pi on your farm's network, click Scan, and every Antminer KS5 on your subnet appears automatically — model, worker name, serial and MAC included. From then on it's live stats every 30 seconds.
Everything you get for your Antminer KS5
Running the Antminer KS5 day to day — what to watch
Antminer KS5 rigs mine kHeavyHash (Kaspa). Specs tell you what the machine can do; day-to-day monitoring is about noticing early when it stops doing it. Here is what experienced operators watch on this model, and how to automate it.
Temperatures and cooling
KS5 and KS5 Pro run hot and fast on a young algorithm: keep chips under 80 °C sustained and take the 85 °C alert seriously — Kaspa ASICs are new enough that long-term thermal tolerance is still being learned fleet by fleet.
Power, efficiency and what they cost
Across the variants above, efficiency works out to roughly 77–150 J/TH at wall power — the Antminer KS7 is the efficiency leader of the family. At $0.06/kWh, every 100 W of extra draw costs about $4.30 a month, which is why the dashboard tracks efficiency per unit and not just raw hashrate.
The signals that matter
Kaspa's block cadence makes share flow bursty; judge health on the 30-minute average rather than the twitchy 5-second reading. The hashrate-low rule with a sensible floor beats staring at the live number.
If a KS5 repeatedly drops to zero and recovers, log when it happens — heat-of-day patterns point to cooling, random timing points to PSU or firmware.
Recommended alert setup for the Antminer KS5: a high-temperature rule at 85 °C chip temp, a hashrate-zero rule with auto-restart (a ten-minute boot grace stops false alarms after reboots), and an offline rule that emails you about a minute after a unit stops answering. All three take under a minute to create in Alerts — see the docs for details, or the guide to monitoring your fleet remotely.
Antminer KS5 monitoring — frequently asked questions
How do I monitor my Antminer KS5 remotely?
Create a free farm, run the connector agent on any PC or Raspberry Pi on the same network as your Antminer KS5, then hit Scan. You'll see live hashrate and temperatures within a minute, from anywhere — no port forwarding, no VPN, no static IP.
Can I see Antminer KS5 temperatures and get overheat alerts?
Yes. AntminerTools reads per-chain chip and PCB temperatures every 30 seconds and can automatically put an Antminer KS5 to sleep if it overheats, plus email you on the Unlimited plan.
Does it work with every Antminer KS5 variant?
Yes — every Antminer KS5 running stock Bitmain firmware with the standard web interface is supported, including Hydro and immersion variants, with special handling for water-cooled temperature sensors.
How much does Antminer KS5 monitoring cost?
Free for 1 farm and up to 4 miners with full monitoring and remote control. Paid plans add capacity from $3/mo, and email alerts + remote desktop on Unlimited.
