Formula and assumptions
BTU/hour = watts × 3.412142. Heat is based on running power, not uptime-averaged energy.
This is simultaneous running heat, not uptime-averaged energy. Hydro models transfer much of the load to a coolant circuit.

Worked example
3,500 W × 3.412142 = 11,942.497 BTU/hour. Nearly all electrical energy consumed ultimately becomes heat.
Arithmetic examples explain the tool; they are not live market observations. Reference specifications are linked on ASIC pages.

Does lower uptime reduce peak heat?
It reduces daily energy, but peak heat depends on units running simultaneously.
Does hydro cooling eliminate heat?
No. It transfers heat to a liquid loop which still requires heat rejection.
