How Does the Noise and Heat Output of an ASIC Farm Factor into a Miner’s Operating Costs?

The intense noise and heat generated by ASIC miners necessitate significant investment in cooling and ventilation systems, which are a major component of a miner's operating costs. High heat requires substantial electricity for air conditioning or specialized cooling, directly increasing the total power bill.

Noise can also limit potential operating locations, forcing miners to choose remote sites, which may incur higher costs for land and infrastructure.
