Hey guy's i want to start mining with 5 asics for btc

Also looking to buy a small Immersion system so i could avoid the hassle of air cooling as i live in very hot country.
also offering to safely overclocking all miners to 30-50%

my choice is

5x Whatsminer M21s 50 TH 2,500$

or

8x Antminer T17 42TH at 1,700$

5x Antminer S17+ 70TH at 2,500$

5x Antminer S17 PRO 50TH at 2,500$

what would you guys choose ?
are Antminer really not reliable ?

please give me some feedback.

for those of you who are going to ask how these prices, These are from reputable sellers on Alibaba that accept trade assurance and paying with PayPal

Thank you

Since all of these are used and probably coming from a hosting farm in China, include the cost of cleaning them. You do not want to put a dirty miner into an immersion system so there is expense or skill there. Also, make sure you have a good asic repair tech on speed dial. These are old / used, they will have issues. You don't want to be down for weeks to fix a bad controller or hashboard.

I have heard good things about the Whatsminer, more than the 17's so believe what you are reading above. Am curious whose immersion system you are looking at. Is it more of a generic construction or ? Single loop or dual loop?

from a hashrate point of view the T17's are the winner, because you get 8 of them @42TH. It gives you a total of 336TH.

The S17+'s give you a slightly higher hashrate at 350TH, but keep in mind that if one of these breaks, you temporarily lose a larger chunk of hashpower than the equivalent T17 breaking.

be constructive or S.T.F.U

The first thing I would have to tell you is that your prices are a bit off, if you don't trust your source 100% they are probably scammers, trade assurance is B.S, and I don't know what PP will do if the seller proves they shipped you the miner you ordered which just so happened that it's in a miserable form, but, do what you think best.

Now, speaking of quality and only quality, the M21s is more robust than all the Antminer gears you mentioned by a few orders of magnitude, but then you talked about overclocking and what not, unfortunately, you won't be able to do that freely on whatsminer, whereby on all the Antminer/Bitmian gears you mentioned over clocking to extreme measures is possible using custom firmware, in fact, the S17 pro has a turbo mode which overclocks the miner using only the stock firmware.
