I have toured some crazy Bitcoin immersion mining farms over the years and thanks to DCX I am finally going to start immersion mining Bitcoin myself! DCX has a plug and play immersion mining setup, they have options for single phase electricity and three phase electricity, in this video I am installing DCX immersion mining kit in my single-phase bitcoin mining farm. I also use Braiins s19 firmware which supports immersion mining because I did not have fan spoofers which are needed to when Bitcoin ASIC mining rigs are running in a liquid without fans. While this isn't a step by step installation guide, hopefully this helps anyone feel more comfortable doing a DCX immersion mining farm build. If you have questions just leave a comment and I'll try and check back and help with what I learned setting up my own liquid cooled immersion bitcoin mining deployment!

The install was buttery except getting covered in antifreeze!
The lesson learned was that those hose clamps should probably only be used once and then discarded. I think the bolt stretches enough to weaken it - the whole system is about 30PSI/2Bar.
Had me at buttery 🧈 🤣
Congratulations, I know this was a big moment for you. Lots of learning I'm sure, and finally the satisfaction of seeing your good plans come together. I appreciate you forging a path that others may safely follow.
2 questions: How much does a system like this cost (including 8 miners), and what is the total power usage?
ive been watching your journey to where you are now its pretty amazing i wish that i wouldnt have been living my crypto journey vicariously through your channel for as long as i have until finally making the decision to buy myself a couple miners! wish me luck
i really appreciate your content thanks to you and the Vosk Family
One of the biggest benefits of liquid cooling is being able to utilize the heated liquid for other uses. I'm in the process of going from air to liquid using water blocks and am running the hot loop first through a heat exchanger on my water heater, then to one in my HVAC air handler to heat the house, then finally to the cooler. I've been heating my house with miner heat since 2017, but upgrading to this new liquid cooling system will make it so much more convenient and more efficient, (no more constantly adjusting window fans and box fans) plus what should end up being unlimited and essentially free hot water (my water heater will now be just a storage and temp maintainer). Considering my power company jacked my rates to over .12 per Kwh during the pandemic, where they've stayed ever since, I've got to be as efficient as possible.
Bro I'm paying $0.19 right now and it's only going up. Would really like to modify my hot water heater to start liquid cooling and recycling some of the heat.
@@SamJones1337 I've got family in N.Y. paying about that. It's ridiculous.
No mod to the water heater itself, just a liquid-liquid heat exchanger on the inlet side and added a tempering valve to prevent potential scalding since miners can reach over 140 degrees F and depending on flow rates and temps of the incoming fluids, the water temp can get higher then the 120 degree safe temp limit for residential use.
The same setup can be used on an immersion system.
@@GodfathersGhostappreciate the response and information. It's motivating
@@SamJones1337 Glad to help, thanks.
@@SamJones1337 go for it, for example with small DCX Bitpod
Well, finaly you got it, cheers. Recommended DCX in your comments section many moons ago ;-)
Really cool video Vosk. What would also be cool would be if you posted a cost breakdown of everything. People are super curious to see expense totals.
Vosk very nice deployment, happy to see you got this done, hope you got sufficient space to access and replace the pump if needed, also the difference between US 240v and European is as you know the US uses two 120v at different phases with two hot wires combined to make 240v, European 240v is from a single hot wire. Also the 30amp PDUs you got are amazing been using them for a few years now! Best PDU at a great price.
Can’t win here. Stuck with transformers to get 240 single or using them at scale to get down from 277 split to 240 lol
lol @ the digital shovel RUclips ad placed on this video. Keep up the good vids Voskyboi!
Well done!! I've been working on a similar concept. But you actually done it. Awesome job
Awesome content! Got into GPU mining by watching your videos and now have transitioned to ASIC mining too. I was wondering if you considered using 50 amp breakers and PDUs. I am using those because I can power three ASICs running normal power mode at 3100 watts each or more (following the 80% power rule) while using 30 amp breakers I can only power 1 ASIC miner running normal power mode (3100 watts) if I follow the 80% rule. Good luck with your projects.
Vosk bro dammmmm I feel like I've been a part of your journey since the beginning, I have a big a$$ coolaid smile right now watching, let's gooooooo, keep those videos coming. Everything is evolving since the gpu mining old skool days. Vosk let's goooooo
Content has noticeably increased in quality (and that's not a dig on previous content). Keep up the good work!
Some thoughts:
1) Your wire management in the shovel triggers me. Look forward to seeing that install cleaned up!
2) You mentioned 7 of the 8 miners are operational (probably infuriating!). If getting the 8th operational requires physically removing from the tank, I'd love to see what's involved with that corrective action (i.e. dealing with the fluid). When life gives you lemons, yadda yadda yadda....
3) Plenty of infrastructure to grow into - good time to buy more miners!
Congrats Mr and Mrs Vosk! I'm so excited for you guys!
Tip on the miner placement. Put the center in first so that the lip around the top isn't in the way putting in the last miner of each row. Great job!!
I figured he would help you install those units sitting idle at his factory. That is what we need to win. Teamwork
Great setup! One question though. How is the maintenance on these? Do you have to shut everything down and repair one miner?
Hey Vosk you mentioned electronics dying to storms, have you ever considered whole home surge protectors they install in the electrical panel.
Every time I see immersion systems I always want to know about filtration. It's nice and clean now and there is a cover, but every spec of dust that hits that fluid stays in that fluid and after a couple years your exchange cooler is going to be holding all that dust inside it and it will be impossible to remove. I would have liked to see a filtration unit for the fluid going to the cooler.
Love the set up, but your quick comment about putting all the miners into the power supply and then closing the main breaker?
I don’t think that’s such a good idea because you’re going from 0 to 100% instantly as opposed to powering each minor individually, which is a much easier load to sustain.
Love the channel and your place!
so cool live to see the stat efficiency comparison of 8 dry vs. wet miners.
It’s about 2-4J/THs with similar ambient depending on the silicon lottery. It’s hard to get great numbers because even two miners from the same batch running side by side can vary +-10% easily
Nice PDU, exactly what I need.. Thanks
Food for thought... I'm turning an old freezer into an immersion setup... wonder what'd happen if I got it all setup then turned on the freezer too. 😆
Nice...curious about underground immersion benefits? Underground wine cellars are always nice and cool.
Pretty Neat, definitely a future project for me to do immersion cooler
Hi! Great install, can you share the DCX model, the box, the ouside unit, all? And it since past some time could you share the experience, efficiente, hashrate? Also would be great to know the asics models! Congratz!
Definitely looking into DCX systems. I want to run 6 SX19's at home.
Interesting. Would like more info on numbers, What's your equipment cost, electricity cost, mining power, profitability.
Wow, awesome vid. Thanks for making it, and for mining the best money the world has ever known.
Awesome congrats. You are making big investments, which is inspiring me to do the same on a much much smaller scale.
Btw, Mrs. Vosk said don't cross streams 😅
I love the setup and all these new technology for mining, but my question is with all that money invested are you breaking even or losing money on this Q3 2023?
Ohh forgot to tell you a heated my hoses up with a heat gun then pushed them on. I also used a bucket of super hot water to expand the hose a little before sliding them on but heat gun is best!!
Hello friend, about the thermal paste, could you tell me how long it lasts immersed in the fluid? or how often do I need to change?
Is that a solar compatible transformer? You've probably already thought about it, but if not and you plan on going solar may want to spend the extra to get one that can work with a future solar build.
I'm saving and researching for the best one I can get... or two together to get 240V rather.
Love vosk's videos, good job ser
Super cool! Can't wait for the solar.
I am not into Bitcoin at all but this is a fascinating project.
Love the ending !!!
How do you do that if a miner is defective? Do you have to turn them all off or can you reach into the liquid and get the miner out while it's running?
thats cool, i live in the dmv, and space is a problem, has mining been profitable since 2020? bc 2017-2020 i think it was
pop the hose end into hot water for a minuit :)
Easy work, tighten when warm !
Thanks for the tip! We may have to try that next time.
How much power do you save by liquid cooling? I mean the fans have to draw some kind of wattage when in use :)
I used to mine ethereum back in the day, but electricity prices being what they are here, it's not profitable mine anymore.
**edit** How often do you think you'll have to refill the liquid? I mean there has to be some kind of vaporation?
'those looking for a quieter mining machine may opt for the S19 XP Hyd as it comes with a water-cooling feature instead of fans, meaning it runs at a relatively quiet 50dB compared to most fan-cooled mining machines.' Could you please compare this immersion dry cooler noise with S19 XP Hyd ... I presume for an apartment the hydro noise level is low enough, right ?
S19 Hydro IS NOT for apartment
first of all, it tuns with 3-phase 400-480V
secondly - you need to attach it to some type of cooler, to reject the heat from the miner and it needs fans to be put outside the apartment
if you need a small and simple solution, look for DCX Bitpod with 2 units of Avalon 1366L miners in it - the system ready for immersion with a small dry cooler
i happy you finally got your shit set up good luck and happy mining.
electrocity rate and profitablity ?
Altair is the GOAT, great guy.
Dang bro you beat me to it. Was working on my 8 heat reclaim rig for 2 years wa 95% done but you beat me hahab.
Do you talk about the power supply fans? It looks like they are still there.
Do you believe it would be cost effective to expand your immersion miner farm?
Hell of a way to have a backup fan supply haha
would love to see some comparison numbers between the liquid cooled and air cooled asics
about 15-25% depending on how hot the air setup would have run
Future goals!! 😎 nice man!
Not much to be surprised about the stack of fluid bottles is about the same size and shape of the box looks about the same volume and having only one. Container left it seems like they sold you the perfect amount.
I use my hot fluid to heat my shop and wife’s sewing shop. Just add bypass loop and run the hot fluid through a heater coil. Just curious what’s your average fluid temp? And how much TH are you getting?
...same here. Hooked up to radiant floor and hot water heater....squeezed out every btu.
@@pacificdelta I’m going to eventually build a shophouse and use the hot fluid for everything possible. I have a sensor in the fluid the has a built in PID loop so I use the 4-20 side to control a VFD with a 3 phase motor on the dry cooler. This gives us more temp control.
Hey dude- found a property in TN with a natural gas well on it. Any advice on who I can tall to to see if the well produces enough gas to run at least 10 S19jPros?
you need to know how much gas you have, and the quality of it - how many calories (watts) you can get out of it
then you need to size the right gas engine for peak performance
unfortunately, typically you will be running it with 50-80% peak output as it depends on the gas pressure
then you will know, how many miners you can add to your mining farm
one of our customers runs 998kW gas engine, with the daily power on average 572kW which is fine for about 100 S19 ASIC miners
Let’s fucking GO!! DCX are 🐐s!!
How much you pay for electricity? For this immersion kit?
What is the total power consumption for the DCX cooling system? I'm curious if it is more or less than air-cooling with the stock PC fans. This is definitely a better option, but I would like to see the comparision.
I’m actually installing a watt meter on the DCX unit tomorrow because I’ve really wanted to know that too, especially as it’s complicated with the transformer
You'll have to let us know what the reading is. It looks like DCX advertises a max 600W for the ICP40 and an average 400W. Im not sure what the fans draw on average. Maybe 100W per rig? @@VoskCoin
Did your system come with the hand pump? I just received mine and im trying to figure out how to get the antifreze in
Our DCX enclosure came with several smaller jugs of immersion fluid, so we were able to dump them in one by one. This model did not come with a hand pump.
You're suppose to remove the fans from the powersupplies as well.
Pros/cons of DCX vs Fog Hashing?
You need to seal them under vacuum. You don't want any pockets of air. You can get a vac pump, a commercial one, an have someone pipe in the fittings, an pull vacuum that way. I recommend the extra step for safety and life of your hardware, despite that I am basically against mining.
it's only too late until the price triples 🤣 and then they'll be real silent all of a sudden
Do you value investing in bitcoin?
Bro that fly never got out of your nose !! 06:57 !
Dude, that's what I thought until I went back and slowed it down 25%. The fly flew off to the right of the screen thought. 😂
Vosk! Please cover MXC match X mining! It looks like they just rugged there whole community
Did you remove the cover on the bottom/lower side of the miners as well? I noticed the cover is removed on the top side, but never did see a view of the bottom/intake side
To be honest I don't remember, I don't think it would make any difference but I think I would leave the backs on as the rear has tabs that support the hashboards in this orientation. At our farm we have the front covers on almost all and it hasn't made any difference in temps - it does look way cooler with the front cover off though.
Thank you. @@Colby_Attack
We need a tutorial on how to set up a miner and connect to your wallet....we need that
Fun with Immersion! #NiceWorkVosk
Great video as usual, but bro, are you gonna ROI ? when Payout ?
ROI 2050
@@machineman268 😂😭🤣
whats the power consumption? lower? :D uk power is so expensive but maybe water cooling may change that?
it has a dozen different benefits, but it's not about lower power consumption, as this is the same miner with the same power draw (ok, minus fans) and there is no magic behind it ;-)
Time to build‼️
what is oil name bro
Why did you place it so tight in the corner. Each DCX box probably draws 3000W * 8 = 24KW or approx 100A. How many do you expect to deploy in that garage space? I think I would have given myself more room around the tank. Do you know the approx weight of the tank when filled with fluid? It's nice that you have it on a pallet to distribute the weight.
With the miners and dielectric it’s around 330kg or ~700lbs.
@@Colby_AttackSo, a 3-stack is approx 2100 LBS and about 350A. This is about 100KW per stack of 3 if you use an 80% rule. If he did a 2-wide and 5-deep footprint, that would be around 1MW and net you 2 (wide)* 5 (deep) * 3 (high). This is all rough math naturally, just to get a ballpark number. Density is great, but does he have access to that power? Is he thinking of deploying 1MW of Solar?
@@ronwatkins5775 check out the tour of our farm on the channel about two weeks ago. We have 60 enclosures at ~2MW.
Great thumbnail
1/3 into this and wondering where the antifreeze went versus the dialect cooling fluid. I saw where you put it but I'm confused how there are 2 separate cooling parts to this?
Yes! There are two separate areas where there is liquid. The first is the dielectric fluid which is where the miners are. And the second is the area behind the container that pumps in and out of the dry cooler. That's where the water/antifreeze solution goes.
@missvosk Later on in the video this became more obvious and I also looked into the product. a little curious Why it's done this way. why not just run the same fluid for the radiator Without the heat exchanger.I guess there's reasons for efficiency or whatever that i'd don't understand.
@@geniferteal4178 it’s kind of like how in a car you use coolant. It’s easier to move and has better heat transfer. It’s basically better/easier to cool a water-based solution versus the dielectric fluid. They aren’t actually mixing so it’s siphoning off the heat. We’re going to try to explain how this works in another video! I think a visual will help.
@missvosk I understand the liquid to liquid cooler. Just wasn't sure if the need to transfer to a different liquid before expelling heat to the air.
I'm in the investigation stage of mining. Never done anything but cpu mining before. After watching this, my wife and are consulting with an electrician to get set up for the FogHashing C2 with 2 Antminer S21s. Do you have a video, or, can you direct me to a place that walks me through, step-by-step, preparing and Antminer S21 for immersion? Thanks so much.
Yes, we have a video on this! I believe it's titled "How to Deploy Bitcoin Miners in Immersion Fluid," and it was posted about a month ago. We also just received the FogHashing C2 and will be conducting a review on that shortly as well. We are super impressed with it upon delivery. We also have a FogHashing video so be sure to check that out, and if you find our content useful and want a coupon code, please use our link! voskco.in/fh
@@missvosk thanks. Definitely appreciate your work. Of course I will use coupon code! Blessings to you and yours.
@@MountainVicar you too! thanks for being here! ❤️
Hey Vosk, how many asic's do you connect per 30AMP circuit?
2 s19 miners
Vosk your not supposed to cross streams! Congrats!
How much is it i for want one
how much money can you make with 8 mining rigs
I am old 74 how do you run all that electronic gear under water without shorting everything? I don't get it
It's not water! It's dielectric fluid. Basically an electric insulator but in liquid form.
Did you guys notice that VRA verasity crypto currency pumped up 22 percentage today dude!👍
How much for that machine?
What would you think it would cost to build one of these currently
Do you know a professional investment advisor?
the value of the cooling system you see in the video is approx. 8k$
it depends on the set of components you're willing to buy with it like special PDU, solvent, fan spoofers, flip kits, etc. - optional accessories, but niece to have them
@ 6:54 min in a fly flew in your nose and you didnt notice? or was that just me... please watch it and someone make a meme!
Thanks for the video and sharing the process. Is the immersion fluid you used commercially available?
Yep it’s from a company called Engineered Fluids this is the ThermaSafe R.
Just an FYI you need about 200L per tub and it’s something like 12 USD per liter.
How much did this cost
6:16 not to code, should have drilled next to the stud, sleeved with pvc, strap said pcv to stud and then pass connections and silicone afterwards
there are special drilled hole fillers, that prevent bugs or moisture from going in, still allowing moving hoses back and forth
of course ANY solution that works is better than the open hole ;-)
H2O actually is the most cost effective coolant
Very inspiring....!!!😊
So Sick!!!
i have free electricity technology , 2 electrons to 1 billion neutrons free power thru cold fusion
NICE!
What I learned from mining 10 years ago, Don't bother mining, instead of buying mining hardware, just buy crypto.
Why call it a dry cooler that kinda makes no sense. Its just a chiller is it not?
It’s basically just a big radiator. The other common setup for something like this is called a cooling tower.
That flows fresh water over an adiabatic membrane which (depending on relative humidity) can cool the cold side of the loop to sub ambient temperature.
The downsides is that it takes a good bit of water to operate and as the water evaporates you are left with a higher concentration of minerals in the remaining water as it’s circulated.
@@Colby_Attack Thanks man. Im just messing around I have my HVAC ticket. I just think dry cooler is the worst possible name for what it is. Thats all. Have a good one.
@@jasonb9629 I totally agree - in biking we have something called clipless pedals, which are the ones you clip into it. Thats what it always reminds me of. I think radiator is a better name for stuff like this.
6:52 o mosquito entrou no nariz?
Vosk you have to reveal how much of your operation is funded by RUclips monitization and also from corporate sponsors. I would like to know if the mining itself is worth the investment without the streaming monitization distorting the question. Without this, you are an infomercial showing how to set up mining but not making any money from mining. So, its debatable as to the usefullness this type of business model you carved out for yourself for playing both sides of the pool table; Is it mining profitability or gear tester and or best practices. Is mining BTC worthwhile as a small operation like your own? Otherwise it's an advertisement for suppliers. Nothing wrong with that, but you should have this disclaimer on videos and promote yourself as a mining tester and rig tester. As long as your upfront with your disclaimer, this honesty will allow more growth I believe from suppliers and also a growing audience of mining enthusiasts. If the suppliers become your clients and receive stream monitization and are 90% of your revenue, nothing wrong with that, just reveal that upfront.
mining btc is not profitable without subsidies (such as the youtube money) or very cheap electricity (sub $0.06). Been mining with 10 rigs for almost 2 years and in retrospect I should have spent the capital on coins instead of equipment. On the flip side, mining generates non-kyc coins, and if the price of btc ultimately goes up (and you never sell) then your investment *should* pay off at some point. Overall, it's a hobby for the most part. I can think of worse ways to spend money :)
@@Ryan-mb9iu or you can get renewable energy from like solar / wind as many people do, even if you only save at daytime (with a grid tie inverter) you are going cheaper than others. No batteries needed.
If you can't or won't do the sums yourself, you have no business mining. Don't expect Vosk or anyone else to do them for you.
I've got a 15kw array connected to mine already. It offsets about 1/6th of the power usage and we average 5 peak hours of generation a day.
super cool
WTF DID YOU SEE THE FLIES WHEN RIGHT IN HIS NOSE HE DIDNT EVEN NOTICE IT. 6:54 BRO YOU DIDNT FEEL THAT GO IN YOUR NOSE ?
