Power, cooling & noise for ASICs in India

Most failed India home setups fail on power and heat, not on “wrong pool URL.”

Power

• Read the miner’s watt rating; add headroom (PSU + wiring losses)
• Single-phase household circuits often cannot host multiple S19/S21 units
• Three-phase / dedicated industrial supply is the norm for farms
• Use a qualified electrician — overloaded breakers are a fire risk

Cooling

Air-cooled ASICs move a lot of hot air. Exhaust out of the room; don’t recirculate into a closed bedroom. Ambient temperature in Indian summers reduces efficiency and longevity if intake is hot.

Noise

Expect loud, continuous fan noise. Apartments and shared walls are usually a bad fit for full-size ASICs. Bitaxe-class units are more apartment-friendly but still audible.
