Earlier this month, Bitcoin mining company Riot Blockchain announced it would be developing 200 megawatts of immersion-cooled Bitcoin mining infrastructure at its Whinstone Facility. Based on the company’s preliminary immersion-cooling test results, it expects the hash rate to increase by 25% and ASIC performance to increase by up to 50%.
Immersive cooling can reduce the need to replace equipment and the amount of energy required to cool rigs while mining BTC.
