Title: R9 290X GPU Cooling Requirements Post by: gmoney$ on December 31, 2013, 04:22:24 PM Could anyone tell me what the BTU rating of a server with 4 R9 290X cards would be? I am able to meter the electricity used, currently 1.4Kw, but I don't know how to measure the heat output.

Is it a wrong rule of thumb to estimate 4* wattage used for btu requirements or is this overkill? so if your 290X uses 300 W each then 1200 Watts * 4 = 4800 BTU so 5000 BTU would be ample?

Because your going to mine 24/7 and its going to draw alot of heat into those beasts.

AMD Radeon R9 290 Crossfire - On your average system the cards require you to have a 800 Watt power supply unit as minimum.

I know the more the better, but think You could lower that for at least 10% without any issuess. And from my research PSU price skyrockets drastically between 500 and 600 (at least at my country) Title: Re: R9 290X GPU Cooling Requirements Post by: thegold on July 26, 2014, 02:21:27 PM in my country, we use the fan for cooling our rig and open the window... so the wind can blow... :)
