What reviewers say about the Hammer Thor P2
“Just got my Hammer Thor P2. I have upgraded to their Harlo system where I can mine more pools at one time, I have more control over lots of things on the system. It is running great. The firmware was very simple. Overall very happy.”Cikrarn, Trustpilot, Sep 18, 2026

Questions people ask
Is the NerdOctaxe faster than the Thor P2?
About the same. The NerdOctaxe does 9.6 TH/s stock and about 10.8 overclocked. The Thor P2 does 10 TH/s in its top mode.
Why is the Thor P2 so much cheaper?
It uses two BM1373 chips instead of eight BM1370 chips to reach the same hashrate, and it is stocked in our own warehouses rather than imported to order.
Can the Thor P2 mine on more than one pool?
Yes. With Harlo OS it mines on up to four pools at once and lets you pick a low power mode at 58W.
