Title: what is the best staying position for GPU ?
Post by: dj_muncher on April 23, 2017, 08:46:29 AM
hi, i need some help, i have a mining PC for 2 month and working well.
I am interested in position of GPU. My GPUs staying like in the picture. The main idea is cool air is goes down from physic :) Temperature is always higher than down.
is this a good idea or not ?

i don't see a problem with the way you have it considering most cards get cold air for the face of the card and hot air goes out the front, back, top and bottom of the card. should be fine, you could always try standing them like everyone else and see if the temp changes running long term.

according to my option there is only one problem, dust. too much dust GPUs, but perhaps its because of windows. its always open.
is there any other specific reason for standing them like everyone ?

I think your setting is good. You can confirm it by chaning the direction of the cards and see the temperature difference.

i was thinking about 180° of you solution, but because gravity force and fluids in the pipes ...
In you solution at the moment there liquid in heatpipes changing they aggregate state to gas on contact surfaces, what are on the top. You bacame a bubbles, and new luquid has problem to became a contact direct to hottest surfaces.
My solution where better, so the steam bubbles will go up like in a pan with water on the kitchen stove

something like this from Genesis mining farm in Island

I tried alot of solutions of fans they all failed , some of them even make the temp. go higher , the only solution which dropped down the temp immediatly is the ventillation , your mining room should have a very good ventillation of the hot air constantly.

I use fan to extract the hot air.
