#Ant Water Cooling U3 S19XP HYD 514T Unboxing Review: When BTC Servers Meet Water Cooling Black Technology!

Hello everyone, today the editors at Li Yi are unboxing not an ordinary server, but a Bitcoin mining device with a "water cooling buff" - the Antminer Water Cooling U3 S19XP HYD 514T! This machine not only has explosive computing power (514TH/s!), but also uses water cooling to ensure that miners can output stably even in high-temperature environments. Without further ado, let’s unveil its mysterious veil together!
📦 Opened 177 boxes of 7913 initial 0177 experience: This packaging is hardcore!
When I just received the package, my first reaction was: "Why is this box so heavy?!" The gross weight is 30 kilograms, which is heavier than the dog at Li Yi's editor's home (Dog: ?). After opening the outer box, I found a thick layer of foam cushioning inside, and the server was protected very well, so there was no need to worry about bumps during transportation.
Take out the machine, and at first glance, I was attracted by its 3U rack design - 445mm wide × 750mm deep × 130mm high, which is more compact than traditional air-cooled servers, but still has a solid weight (net weight 28kg). The entire body has a silver-gray matte texture, paired with the eye-catching "ANTMINER" logo, fully embodying a sense of technology.
The most special thing is that this machine requires two network cables! That's right, it has two backend management systems, and only by merging computing power can it reach 514T, definitely a "dual network dual standby" mining mode.
💧 Liquid Cooling: Say goodbye to the "oven-style" mining farm!
The noise and heat of traditional air-cooled servers have always been a nightmare for miners, while this S19XP HYD 514T comes with a water cooling system! The official power consumption is stated to be 10691W at an ambient temperature of 35℃, but thanks to the water cooling, the operating temperature of the machine is significantly lower than that of air-cooled models, greatly enhancing stability.
Installing a water cooling system requires additional configuration of a water pump, water tank, and heat dissipation fins, but this trouble is absolutely worth it compared to enduring the "helicopter takeoff" noise of air-cooled servers! During actual operation, the machine is almost silent with no loud fan spinning sounds, only the faint sound of water circulating, allowing the mining farm to finally say goodbye to "barbecue mode."
⚡ Performance Test: 514TH/s hash rate, is the Electric Tiger still the efficiency king?
This machine has a computing power of up to 514TH/s, uses the SHA-256 algorithm, and is optimized for BTC and Bitcoin Cash mining. The official power efficiency is 20.8 J/TH (in environments above or equal to 35℃), placing it among the top tier in the current market.
However, its power consumption is also not low - 10691W, which is equivalent to the electricity consumption of a home air conditioner running at full capacity. So, if you plan to acquire this machine, you must calculate the electricity cost clearly! It is recommended to use it with a 380-415V industrial power supply, as ordinary household voltage cannot handle this "electric tiger."
🔌 Installation and Setup: Two Network Cables, Double the Fun (or Double the Trouble?)
The most special thing about this server is that it has two backend management systems, requiring two network cables to unleash its full computing power. For novice miners, the configuration may seem a bit complicated, but once familiar, it's actually not difficult.
Connect the water cooling system: Ensure that the water pump, water pipes, and heat dissipation components are installed correctly to avoid leaks (water damage to servers can be much more serious than dropping a phone in the toilet).
Insert two network cables: connect them to the two network ports of the server and enter the backend to configure the mining pool information.
Power on mining: After powering on, the machine will automatically start, and the hash rate will gradually rise to 514T.
✅ Summary of Advantages
✔ Ultra High Hashrate: 514TH/s, a mining tool for BTC.
✔ Liquid cooling: low noise, high stability, suitable for high temperature environments.
✔ Efficient and energy-saving: an energy efficiency ratio of 20.8 J/TH, industry-leading.
✔ 3U rack design: saves space, suitable for large-scale mining farm deployment.
❌ Disadvantages Complaints
✖ High power consumption: 10691W, electricity cost needs to be calculated carefully.
✖ Additional configuration for water cooling system: requires pairing with water pump and water tank, increasing deployment complexity.
✖ Dual network cable design: Not very user-friendly for beginners, configuration is a bit troublesome.
🎯 Who is it suitable for?
Professional miners: require mining equipment with high computing power, low noise, and stable operation.
Mining farm upgrade: Looking to replace old air-cooled servers to improve energy efficiency.
Big shots who don't care about electricity bills: areas with cheap electricity (such as regions rich in hydropower and wind power) are more cost-effective.
📢 Final verdict: Is it worth purchasing?
If you pursue extreme computing power + stable operation, and can accept the additional configuration of a water cooling system, then the Ant Water Cooling U3 S19XP HYD 514T is definitely one of the top choices for BTC mining at the moment. But if you are a small miner with high electricity costs, you might still have to weigh your wallet before making a decision.
In short, this machine is like a "performance monster" in the server world, both fierce and quiet, with the only cost being that your electricity meter will spin faster than a top!💸
Digging for happiness, rational investment! 🚀 #btc# #水冷机#
