Title: Mining Farm Fan Recommendations Post by: cryptbro on January 17, 2018, 10:46:14 PM Got my 4th and 5th rigs going up in the next couple weeks and my mining room is already getting pretty warm. What box type fans are you guys using for small farms, mining sheds, etc.? Trying to keep the farm as electricity efficient as possible and just get more cold airflow into the room and out another window. CFM and brand recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

I mounted them to the back of a metal shelving unit that my rigs sit on to push the hot air out in front of the rigs. I have four 6gpu rigs running and tested this out on two of them. Let the fans run for a couple of hours and the two rigs that have fans on them have gpu temps that are 7-9 degrees cooler than the rigs that do not have fans on them.
Still doesn't solve the room ventilation issue. Right now it's below freezing temps outside here, so I just opened the two windows in that room, close off the vent so there isn't heat coming in, and shut the door. I'm going to need to find another solution once summer comes. May have to get a portable ac unit. My garage is directly below it and the garage isn't climate controlled. So in the summer, heat rises from the garage into my mining room. |
