Thoughts on the New Antminer S23 Hydro

🚀 Antminer S23 Hydro coming in 2026! 580 TH/s and 9.5 J/TH with hydro cooling! That's some serious power. 😍

Under 10 watts per TH is insane. This is definitely for commercial setups, right? Wondering if air-cooled models can hit those numbers too.

Can I grab 2 of these S23 Hydros and a 12kW radiator setup, and it’ll all work together? Seems like it should.

It really depends on the pump specs. They haven’t shared any details on pressure or flow rate yet. That's kinda key info.

You might need some software to downclock it. If both miners pull 11 kW, you might get better results if you clock them lower. Bitmain gear often performs better at a slight reduction.

🔥 Check out the air-cooled version: Antminer S23 at 318 TH/s and 11 J/TH. Not as efficient but still impressive!

Nah, I think you can only run one ASIC on that setup. Theoretically, two could work, but you’d need separate loops. Otherwise, the second miner would overheat.

Yeah, I always thought running ASICs in series was risky. Saw some DIY cooling setups that looked cheaper but probably not reliable.

This miner is a beast! Should really boost profitability, but Bitmain's prices are a joke. They talked a lot about hydro at the conference but gave no real info.

My S21 XPs do 277 TH/s with the same power use. If I upgrade to the S23 Hydro, I’m looking at just a 14.8% gain... not really worth it, tbh.

New mining cycles are just a way for manufacturers to milk us. Expect yearly upgrades just like phones.

Totally, they’ve got a strong incentive to keep pushing new models.

When I first heard about sub 10 W/TH, I was shocked. From a tech perspective, it’s impressive. But I feel like Bitmain is just keeping too much control over the market.

Yeah, 9.5 watts per TH means you’ll need to overhaul your setup. Say goodbye to old single-phase gear.

So true, upgrading to three-phase 410 volts and liquid cooling is a big deal. Old gear won't cut it for the new models.

Honestly, if you’re looking at this hydro setup, check the reviews from engineers. They’ve found quality issues with standard containers.

What do you mean by standard containers? Like Bitmain’s own products? Where can I find those reviews?

Here’s some detailed specs for the S23. Three-phase power, specific voltage needs, and cooling requirements. Looks intense.

I've heard stories from miners in Russia. They switched from air-cooled to hydro, faced issues but ended up building their own solutions, saving money and getting better parts.

I’m not sold on liquid cooling. Bitmain’s reliability doesn’t inspire confidence. Plus, the learning curve for setting up liquid cooling is steep.
