Longer Operations, Reduced Noise, and Dust Control
The S9 Hydro boasts a hashrate of around 18TH/s and claims to have a wall power consumption of around 1,728W (which is less than a typical home tea water heater). Bitmain says the S9 Hydro’s water cool system can provide “heat dissipation” and people can use the S9 Hydro-Hex external water circulation module for heating rooms in their homes or garages.
Bitmain’s specs, while operating the chip temperature is around 5°C, which can help the device’s overall performance and efficiency. Bigger mining facilities with an outdoor water supply tethered to the new S9 Hydros will save roughly 8-12 percent in electricity costs.
