When scaling up, one big decision is cooling: hydro vs air-cooled ASIC miners. Each has clear trade-offs. Here’s how to choose.
Air-cooled miners
Air-cooled ASICs are simplest to deploy, plug in, point a fan, and mine. They’re ideal for home and small setups, but they’re louder and run hotter, which can limit density.
Hydro & immersion miners
Hydro and immersion rigs run cooler, quieter and far denser. They’re the choice for serious farms that want maximum hashrate per rack and longer hardware life. Explore our hydro cooling miners.
Which is right for you?
- Home / hobby → air-cooled or quiet home miners.
- Small farm → efficient air-cooled flagships.
- Industrial → hydro or immersion for density and noise control.
