S19 XP Questions (Reliability + Heat Sink Type)

Hey guys, i'm looking to dive into Bitcoin mining but i'm having a bit of a tough time getting the last bits of information I need before pulling the trigger on a purchase. I've done my best to research this myself but I was hoping you could help me out with some final questions Smiley

The miner will have free solar + very cheap grid electricity but regular power cuts, so I was wondering if anyone had experience with the miner switching off at least once per day for a few hours. The environment will also be quite high humidity. Will this make my project completely unfeasible, or can Antminers handle this?

If so i'm looking at the S19 XP, but am looking to install some custom water plates and pump radiator/fan like these:

This is for 2 reasons, firstly the miner will be in a hot store room (30-35 degrees C) with no Aircon, and secondly to reduce the noise level down from 80+ decibel to around 60.

I was originally looking at getting a S19JPro+ for this, however the water cooling boards available online all seem to be for the S19JPro or S19Pro. The companies above said they could make me a custom cooling board, but reading this forum that seems to be a bad idea as the S19JPro+ has individual soldered on heat sinks:

So I'm also wondering if the S19 XP has individual soldered heat sinks, or if it has bolted heat sinks which can be easily updated to custom water cooling boards?
