Cryptocurrency Miners Turn to Exotic Cooling Systems as Competition Heats Up
Amid Singapore's humid equatorial heat, a group of researchers and faculty at the island's main technical education institute are sweating over an unconventional cooling solution - for litecoin miners. The institute, known more for strait-laced vocational courses, has partnered with litecoin startup CloudMining.sg to develop a liquid immersion cooling system for the firm's miners, in conjunction with materials science giant 3M. Neal Blackburn, who runs business development for the startup, said: "[Other universities] we approached weren't comfortable enough to take this on as a project.....

Review: BitCrane T-110 1.1 th/s Watercooled Bitcoin ASIC Miner. New manufacturers of Bitcoin ASIC miners are coming out and usually CCN has already heard of them and written something or another. BitCrane surprised me by coming out with the BitCrane T-110 Bitcoin ASIC miner. Not only did they burst on the scene like that, causing people to email and message me asking if BitCrane was a scam or legit, but they also surprised us all with a new innovative cooling system. I contacted BitCrane, and they quickly got back to me. The T-110 is a well engineered piece of machinery with top of the....
In an attempt to further decrease energy costs and its impact on the environment, BitFury announced that it was launching the world's largest two-phase immersion cooling (2PIC) project at its new data center in the Republic of Georgia. By using the technology from Allied Control, bought in January, and the Novec 7100 Engineered Fluid from industrial giant 3M, the company is hoping to optimize its operations and make them more green. The firm intends on using 3M's fluid to cool more than 40 megawatts of processing power. "The maintenance cost of traditional low-cost air cooling systems is....
