How Far Can Hydro Cooling Push a Bitcoin Miner?

In this video I compare the NerdQaxe++ air-cooled Bitcoin solo miner vs the NerdQaxe++ Hydro water-cooled miner to see which performs better at stock settings and when overclocking in AxeOS. I run both miners at stock settings and then use an auto overclocking tool with equal limits to see which version overclocks higher. Finally, I remove the limits on the Hydro and push it to the maximum AxeOS allows to see its true performance ceiling — while tracking hashrate, AxeOS watts, wall watts, voltage drop, current draw, and ASIC temps. Disclaimer: Overclocking can blow fuses, overload power supplies, and damage hardware. Attempt at your own risk — and always monitor temps, current draw, and wall power.
