We are thrilled to announce that Phase 1 of our Hydro X infrastructure rollout has successfully reached full energization. Operating at 280 Terahashes per machine with an efficiency of 14.2 Joules per Terahash (J/TH), Hydro X represents the single largest technological leap in HashForge's seven-year operating history.

What Makes Immersion Cooling Superior?

Traditional air-cooled mining rigs rely on noisy fans that draw dust, humidity, and thermal stress into sensitive microprocessors. Hydro X submerges the entire ASIC hashing chassis into non-conductive dielectric fluid:

14.2

Joules / Terahash

Industry-leading electrical efficiency

−30%

Thermal Resistance

Eliminates chip overheating degradation

99.98%

Hardware Reliability

Zero fan failures or particulate clogging

Automatic Upgrade for Existing Miners

In accordance with HashForge's commitment to continuous fleet improvement, existing active miners on Growth and Pro plans were automatically migrated to Hydro X tanks without any downtime or price adjustments.
