Hashrate Kings – Inside the Hydro-Cooled ASICs Dominating Bitcoin Mining in 2025

Within the realm of bitcoin mining, a wave of advanced machinery has elevated performance to unprecedented heights over the past year. While industry titans such as Bitmain continue to dominate, challengers like Bitdeer and Auradine have confidently entered the competitive arena, vying for prominence.

The Liquid Revolution – A Dive Into 2025’s Top-Tier Bitcoin Mining Hardware

As March 2025 draws to a close, Bitcoin’s total hashrate recently tapped its all-time peak at 862 exahash per second (EH/s), and it’s currently hovering at 853 EH/s. While BTC prices have climbed over 26% since the halving, miners are earning considerably less than before the event.

However, for companies equipped with the latest generation of application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) machines, the advancements in technology have provided a significant advantage. Today’s top mining hardware now operates within a hashrate spectrum stretching from 400 terahash per second (TH/s) to 860 TH/s.

Bitmain’s Antminer S21e XP Hydro 3U machine.

At the forefront of this category is Bitmain’s Antminer S21e XP Hydro 3U unit, which peaks at 860 TH/s. While a system like the Hydro 3U—drawing 11,180 watts (W)—might initially seem less efficient than alternatives consuming between 5,500 W and 7,500 W, the integration of direct liquid-to-chip (DLC) cooling technology alters the calculus.

Traditional air-cooled setups pale in comparison to DLC’s precision, as the latter directly targets thermal output at the source. This innovation ensures sustained peak performance levels, even during prolonged high-intensity operations, by circumventing the limitations of ambient airflow.

While the machine flaunts 860 TH/s, it maintains an energy efficiency ratio of 13 joules per terahash (J/T). Unquestionably, liquid-cooled systems—be they immersion or hydro-powered—have emerged as the undisputed sovereigns in this thermal arms race, eclipsing antiquated airflow-reliant rivals.

Securing the runner-up title is Auradine’s U.S.-engineered AH3880 hydro-cooled unit. When activated in ‘turbo mode,’ this liquid-chilled ASIC achieves 600 TH/s at 16.5 J/T. Under ‘normal mode,’ the AH3880 hums along at 450 TH/s while sipping power at a frugal 14.5 J/T.

Completing the trifecta is Bitmain’s Antminer S21 XP+ Hydro, generating 500 TH/s. This ASIC consumes 5,500 W of power yet operates with a lean energy efficiency profile of roughly 11 J/T. The Bitmain unit accommodates multiple cooling fluid options, such as antifreeze, purified H₂O, and deionized water.

Bitdeer manufactures a hydro-cooled ASIC that generates approximately 500 TH/s with an energy efficiency of 14.9 joules per terahash (J/T). The 7,450-watt (W) unit called the Sealminer A2 Pro Hydro, released this month, operates at this performance level.

Separately, in fifth place in terms of terahash output, Microbt’s Whatsminer M66S++ ASIC produces 348 TH/s under standard conditions. Overclocking can increase its output to 400–430 TH/s. The hydro-powered device consumes 5,394 W and maintains an efficiency of 15.5 J/T.

Though legacy air-cooled miners retain a prevailing foothold in the sector—with manufacturers continuing to roll out advanced air-cooled iterations—their operational metrics pale in comparison to liquid-cooled thermal titans, which dwarf the capabilities of airflow-dependent peers.

These modern marvels also operate at quieter decibel levels, a stark contrast to the cacophonous drone of traditional units, prompting some firms to migrate to liquid-cooled fleets to sidestep acoustic grievances. Conversely, liquid-cooled systems bear a premium price tag, and their deployment demands substantial upfront investment in specialized infrastructure.
