ANTRACK Water-Cooled Cabinet Depth Analysis: How to Keep Ant Servers Steady as a Rock at 40℃ High Temperatures?

ANTRACK 4-slot Water Cooling Cabinet Unboxing Review: The Server's “Calm” Secret Weapon

In the era of high computing power, heat dissipation is no longer an “auxiliary function” but a key factor for the stable operation of servers. The noise and high temperature issues of air cooling have long become a headache for data center operations. Today, I am unboxing the Bitmain Antminer dedicated 4-slot water cooling cabinet ANTRACK V1 version—a hardcore device that can be called the “calm guardian.” It can not only accommodate 4 water-cooled ANTMINER units but is also a multifunctional system that integrates heat dissipation, energy saving, and heating. Now, let's follow my unboxing experience to see its true strength.

1. Unboxing First Impression: An Industrial Atmosphere Hits You

Opening the outer packaging, I was immediately struck by its size: 1000×600×2100mm, with a net weight of 207kg, it's definitely a behemoth. Compared to common server racks, it resembles an industrial-grade cooling unit, radiating a professional aura instantly.

The appearance features a black metal material with sharp lines, and a large area of openings on the side panel combined with a cooling fan, ensuring airflow while also being aesthetically pleasing. The front panel is equipped with clear interfaces and water pipe connections, making the layout easy to understand. The accessories are neatly organized, and the overall packaging continues Bitmain's consistent industrial style.

In the actual photo, the 8 large fan arrays at the back are neatly arranged, and the various modules inside the cabinet are layered and arranged, giving a sense of engineering beauty that is “orderly.”

2. Core Configuration: The Golden Combination of Heat Dissipation and Power Supply

The hardware configuration of ANTRACK is tailored for liquid-cooled servers:

Server slots: 4 (specially designed for water-cooled ANTMINER)

Maximum load: 24kW

Pump Power: 450W, Noise ≤55dB

Fan: Rated power 120W, noise 68dB@1m

Plate heat exchanger: Maximum heat transfer power 30kW

Circulating flow: 32-40 LPM

Circulating medium: 10% antifreeze, pH 7.8~8.5

Power input: 380~415V AC, maximum input current 80A

Network Connection: RJ45 Ethernet 10/100M

From this data, it can be seen that ANTRACK is not just a simple “server cabinet,” but a complete cooling and power supply system. The circulation pump, plate heat exchanger, and fans work together to ensure stability even when the server is running at full load.

The details labeled in the actual photos can also confirm this point: the main switch, switch, circulating water pump, and plate heat exchanger module are all present, with a reasonable layout that facilitates future maintenance.

3. User Experience: The “dual dimensionality reduction strike” of noise and temperature.

What is the biggest trouble with traditional air-cooled server rooms? That's right, it's noise and heat.

The solution of ANTRACK is a combination of liquid cooling + air cooling + plate exchange.

In the test environment:

The sound of the water pump operates steadily at around 55dB, which is comparable to a typical office environment.

Fan noise 68dB@1m, significantly lower than traditional server rooms.

The most intuitive feeling is: when communicating next to the ANTRACK cabinet, there is almost no need to deliberately raise the volume, and the sense of pressure from the roaring sound near the ear is significantly reduced.

The heat dissipation performance is equally impressive. The 32-40 LPM coolant flows rapidly in the circulation system, paired with a 30 kW plate heat exchanger, which can quickly dissipate the heat generated by the server. Even in a high-temperature environment of 40°C in summer, the server maintains stable computing power, with almost no frequency reduction due to overheating.

4. Hidden Skills: Not only cooling, but also able to “heat up”.

Another highlight of ANTRACK is energy recovery and reuse. This part has already been practically applied in many data center cases.

Non-heating season: Relying on the built-in dry cooler can meet the heat dissipation needs.

Heating season: Approximately 50℃ hot water is supplied through the water route for direct heating.

Matching with heat pumps: it can also output high-temperature hot water at 50~80℃, achieving small-scale centralized heating.

This means that the “waste heat” generated from mining is no longer wasted, but instead converted into reusable energy. For data centers in cold northern regions, this “mining + heating” model is simply a two-for-one deal.

In the actual photo, the heating supply and return water interfaces are clearly visible, which is the key component for achieving heat energy recovery.

5. Safety and Installation Experience: Full of user-friendly details

As can be seen from the figure, the details of ANTRACK are quite well done:

Emergency stop button: quickly cut off power in emergencies to ensure the safety of personnel and equipment.

Temperature control panel: Real-time monitoring of operating status for convenient operation and maintenance.

Supplemental Water Tank: Facilitates liquid replenishment and maintenance.

Clearly labeled power and water interfaces: makes it easy and convenient for engineers during installation.

During the installation process, you only need to complete the waterway, electrical, and network connections according to the labels to achieve rapid deployment. Compared to traditional water cooling solutions, ANTRACK's integrated design greatly lowers the operational maintenance threshold.

6. Conclusion: Innovations in Server Cooling and Energy Utilization

After this unboxing and experience, the biggest impression ANTRACK gave me is two words: professional. It is not just a water-cooling cabinet, but a complete energy optimization and thermal recovery solution.

Significance for miners: Solve heat dissipation and noise problems, ensuring efficient and stable operation of servers.

Significance for operation and maintenance: Lowering the deployment threshold for water cooling and enhancing maintenance convenience.

The significance of energy utilization: converting waste heat into usable heating energy to achieve the dual value of “excavation + heating.”

In summary:

ANTRACK is like the “calm brain” of Ant servers, safeguarding stable computing power while also creating additional value. It is an indispensable core equipment in the data center layout of 2025. #Water-cooled cabinet
