philipma1957, in Russia miners make liquid cooling for air-cooled models themselves, which give little profit. With water cooling, you can overclock the ASIC or use a ready-made solution of several ASICs instead of a heating boiler. You can get free heating.
Redirecting heat is the smartest way to maximize efficiency from your mining operation. Whether you're heating your home, a swimming pool, or even a greenhouse full of tomatoes—why waste all that energy? Every joule of heat your ASICs produce can serve a purpose. Don’t just mine coins, mine heat too! 🔥💰
In practice, home engineers use old used ASICs from the Antminer S19 series, in the price range of 200-400 dollars. Modern ASICs are very expensive and any modification automatically voids the warranty, and this is a very big risk. In reality, what you can get from old ASICs is free heating or heating of the pool, but not profit.
