Title: Did you hear about this? Post by: BTCPrizes on June 12, 2011, 05:35:59 AM Did you guys hear about the guy who had a heat stroke and minor brain damage after falling asleep in his room full of miners running overlocked cards?
I'd rather do that than posting 50 times in this tiny subsection of the forum but looks like we have no choice. Title: Re: Did you hear about this? Post by: rgod14 on June 12, 2011, 05:38:38 AM I've heard of that! Small world.....

Title: Re: Did you hear about this? Post by: DrenDran on June 12, 2011, 05:43:18 AM How the hell does that happen?
Why not put the computers in a room with a window and a fan? How many did he need to have for that to happen? Title: Re: Did you hear about this? Post by: Crazy on June 12, 2011, 05:45:31 AM Judging by the story, he probably didn't have much of a brain to damage anyway. I mean, how do you sleep in a room that's sweltering hot? To the point of suffering heat stroke? ???
It's probably not true. Title: Re: Did you hear about this? Post by: CorruptDropbear on June 12, 2011, 05:46:52 AM http://www.bitcoinminer.com/post/6430302299/miner-accidents-heat-stroke
So yeah, sleeping with your four computers in your room is BAD. Title: Re: Did you hear about this? Post by: klaus on June 12, 2011, 05:47:20 AM i heard about it.
Title: Re: Did you hear about this? Post by: soades on June 12, 2011, 05:48:33 AM I did not know that :P
Title: Re: Did you hear about this? Post by: konakevin on June 12, 2011, 05:48:52 AM Wow... I thought your were just pulling our legs just to mine another post on ur way to 50! It's actually true. ;D

I mean, how do you sleep in a room that's sweltering hot? To the point of suffering heat stroke? ??? I agree, I bet he did get confused and felt sick and was probubly on the brink of heat stroke. It'st just a story to let other people know that its not a good idea to this this sort of setupIt's probably not true. Title: Re: Did you hear about this?

Title: Re: Did you hear about this? Post by: BTCPrizes on June 12, 2011, 06:02:55 AM The horrible part is many people probably have their computers in their rooms as their better half won't let them noise pollute the livingroom! All we need now is a "Guy dies from heat stroke caused by bitcoin mining computers" article.
Title: Re: Did you hear about this? Post by: detroit on June 12, 2011, 06:05:21 AM Stay safe, drink beer while tweaking overclocks. Lots.
It also gets you out of the basement when you have to go recycle! Title: Re: Did you hear about this?

Title: Re: Did you hear about this? Post by: Valalvax on June 12, 2011, 06:07:16 AM Yea, I heard of that.... not sure how much stock I take in the story though, seems to me that at that kind of temp the computers would be failing....
Also, I don't see how he could sleep in a room that hot... Title: Re: Did you hear about this?

Title: Re: Did you hear about this? Post by: Crazy on June 12, 2011, 06:10:50 AM I sense sarcasm, and I really hope what I sense is there, but I'll humor you... for the sake of...
His post about only posting substantive posts of high quality content wasn't substantive or high quality. Title: Re: Did you hear about this? Post by: pancakes on June 12, 2011, 06:12:07 AM It was posted on some chan somewhere so I doubt it's legit. You'd definitely wake up before you were able to get brain damaged, unless you were passed out drunk or some shit.

I'd rather do that than posting 50 times in this tiny subsection of the forum but looks like we have no choice. Is this serious? I'm actually doing the same thing lol. Maybe I should move them out of the bedroom Title: Re: Did you hear about this? Post by: Ruxum on June 12, 2011, 09:49:50 PM keep well hydrated miners!
Title: Re: Did you hear about this? Post by: aminorex on September 05, 2013, 10:37:12 PM I find it to be a serious issue. I have to factor in HVAC costs. My bedroom is a sauna unless the A/C runs 24/7. and I'm at 45 degrees North.
Vendors: Please add water cooling options to your ASIC miners! Home users don't want to add-on to their homes in order to host mining, and water is much cheaper than A/C. It seriously affects payback calcuations. Anyone computed the HVAC costs of LTC vs BTC mining on GPUs, ASICs? water cooling is nice. quiet. i need to sell a 60gh rig. i might add value by water-cooling it. This will constitute my obligatory 5th newbie post. Title: Re: Did you hear about this? Post by: Wozzoo on September 05, 2013, 10:50:31 PM That's crazy, I haven't heard about this until now.
Title: Re: Did you hear about this? Post by: BM1980 on September 06, 2013, 11:23:33 AM this is my first info about this
Title: Re: Did you hear about this? Post by: b!z on September 06, 2013, 11:26:45 AM That's crazy, I haven't heard about this until now. I think the guy already had brain damage. why would he sleep in the room with hot gpus? :-) |
