Anyone have experience with water cooled XP Hydros?

I was thinking about having immersion cooling or water cooling in my shipping container (if I ever get power hooked up to it) for reasons such as the container gets real hot in summer, even with weather proof ducts and will probably put shade cloth above it to help but I still have concerns about air cooled miners. Regardless, I want to have the most efficient Bitcoin miners possible because my power capacity is limited. Currently at writing that’s the XP and XP hydro, and as above if I went the XP air cooled it would get put into immersion cooling.

Live4soccer has been posting his immersion experience which I’m sure we have all read and it’s super helpful. If I were to buy an immersion cooling system I would probably buy a fog hash B6 tank, mainly because there’s a distributor here in Australia that would cost $8k aud ($5300 USD) after shipping including coolant. I would be able to buy 5 XP miners if I ran them at 141 TH, or 6 if I under clocked them and should be able to get 800TH combined from what I’ve read of people running LuxOS. Remember I am aiming for efficiency and trying to max my power capacity.

Or, I can get 3 X S19 XP Hydros with a water cooling row each, which would be a combined $1350 USD before shipping. This would put me at 765TH, where I buy my miners from has These miners at $20/TH in Q3 which is when I’m looking to buy so it would be roughly $5500 USD cheaper to go with the hydro miners as a rough estimate.

But I thought I read badger saying that there has been a lot of issues with the Hydro XP miners, but I cannot find any more information about this. Does anyone have any experience with Hydro XP miners, and have any feedback about them? Much appreciated, and if anyone has any better ideas of what I’m trying to achieve then I’m all ears.

Yea been a lot with the first batch and second batch of both xp and xp hydro as I recall it’s a 40% failure rate so far

Whatsminer has a hydro miner as well, the M53 series. Not as efficient as antminers but more durable.

Thanks guys, also should add has anyone converted any S19 miners to water cooled with water plates? Thanks
