#btc##Ant S21XP Hyd Unboxing Review
1. First Impressions
Good evening, everyone. The Ant S21XP Hyd is a newly launched water-cooled Bitcoin server from Bitmain, released in 2025. As a leader in the server industry, Bitmain has always been known for its high efficiency and innovative technology, and this newly launched water-cooled server is no exception. From the packaging to the device itself, the S21 XP Hyd gives a sense of precision and power.
2. Packaging and Appearance
After opening the packaging, the first thing that catches the eye is the sturdy foam protection layer, ensuring the server is not damaged during transport. The server itself is securely fixed in the foam, appearing very safe. The external dimensions of the server are 339*173*207mm, and it weighs 13.8KG. Compared to traditional air-cooled servers, the water-cooled design makes it more compact and modern.
The server's shell is made of high-strength aluminum alloy material, processed with precision, and feels very solid. The overall design is very industrial and technologically advanced. The front and back of the server have obvious water cooling pipe interfaces, making it easy for users to install the water cooling system.
3. Performance Parameters
The Ant S21XP Hyd supports the SHA-256 algorithm, with a computing power of an astonishing 473 TH/s and a power consumption of 5676 W. This server not only has a significant improvement in computing power, but also the water cooling system, combined with the water cooling radiator, significantly enhances cooling efficiency, ensuring the device's stability and durability under high-intensity calculations.
4. Installation and Configuration
Due to the use of a water cooling system, the installation of the Ant S21XP Hyd is somewhat complex, but still within an acceptable range. First, choose a suitable location, ensuring there is enough space and ventilation around. Then, connect the power and network cables, and install the water cooling system which can be connected to an external cabinet or an external radiator. The water cooling system needs to be configured with inlet and outlet water pipes, ensuring smooth water flow. Finally, configure the machine's backend according to the manual and use the official website for remote management, allowing users to monitor and adjust in real-time.
5. Actual Testing
In actual operation, the Ant S21XP Hyd performs exceptionally well. After starting, the server quickly enters working status, with computing power stably around 473 TH/s. The advantage of the water cooling system lies in its efficient heat dissipation capability; even under full load, the device's temperature remains at a relatively low level, ensuring long-term stable operation.
Through group control, users can clearly see the real-time status of the server, including computing power, temperature, water cooling system status, and other parameters. Users can make adjustments as needed to ensure the device runs in optimal condition.
6. Noise and Power Consumption
Compared to traditional air-cooled servers, water-cooled servers have significant advantages in noise control. The operating noise of the Ant S21XP Hyd is very low, at only 55 decibels. It is suitable for use in various environments. Additionally, although the power consumption is 5676 W, its efficient computing power and water cooling system effectively control energy consumption, resulting in relatively low operating costs.
7. Summary
Overall, the Ant S21XP Hyd has achieved industry-leading levels in terms of appearance design, performance parameters, and actual performance. Its high computing power, low noise, and efficient heat dissipation characteristics make it highly attractive in the market. For users needing high-performance servers, the Ant S21XP Hyd is undoubtedly a very worthwhile option to consider.
As Bitmain's latest flagship product, the S21 XP Hyd showcases its innovations and breakthroughs in server technology. In the future, we look forward to this server bringing more surprises and value in practical applications.
