2. Background and Partnership
In March 2026, MicroBT introduced the WhatsMiner M6DS+ and M6DS++ as part of its hydro-cooled mining lineup, targeting large-scale industrial mining operations. As mining infrastructure continues to scale, increasing power density and thermal management complexity are accelerating the industry’s transition toward liquid-cooled, high-density systems.
Backed by MicroBT as a strategic investor and partner, Heat Core focuses on enabling scalable and standardized deployment of hydro-cooled mining infrastructure. By integrating the M6DS++ with the Heat Core XS2400 cold plate cooling system, designed for real-world deployment, the solution supports stable operation at up to 45°C (113°F) ambient temperature, 50°C(122°F) inlet water, and achieves zero water consumption through dry cooling.

3.4 Specifications
The WhatsMiner M6DS++ delivers a hash rate of 556–610 TH/s with an efficiency of 15.5 J/TH, compared to the M63 series, the M6D series supports higher inlet water temperatures, increasing from 45°C (113°F) to 50°C (122°F) under ~9kW operating conditions. This expanded thermal tolerance enables more stable operation across a wider range of environments while reducing cooling system constraints and overall infrastructure costs.
The M6D series is designed for stable, long-term operation, prioritizing efficiency, reliability, and predictable performance over aggressive overclocking strategies, making it well-suited for industrial-scale deployment.

4.2 Test Conditions
The evaluation was conducted using a single M6DS++ unit. Testing was performed across two operating modes: Normal Mode and Low Power Mode, to capture performance characteristics under different power profiles.
The inlet water temperature was maintained at 35°C (95°F) throughout the test, representing a typical mid-range operating condition for hydro-cooled systems. Ambient temperature ranged between 25–27°C (77–81°F), ensuring a stable and controlled thermal environment. The cooling system operated at a constant flow rate of 10 L/min, with outlet water temperature varying depending on the operating mode.
All performance data was collected through the Whatsminer Tool and the Heat Core HS20 platform monitoring interface, ensuring consistency and data accuracy.
4.3 Test Procedure
Each operating mode was run continuously for a minimum of 2 hours to evaluate short-term performance stability under different power conditions. In addition, system-level thermal and operational data were monitored over a 24-hour period to assess continuous operation and long-term reliability.
This combined approach allows for both immediate performance validation and extended stability assessment, providing a more comprehensive evaluation of real-world operating behavior.
The controlled test environment ensures consistent, repeatable results representative of real deployment conditions.
