Title: Has anyone relocated their miners due to cold weather? Post by: Darthswan on January 06, 2014, 01:58:06 PM For instance, my garage is a good 30 degrees. I don't have one yet, but would it be smart to put it in the garage?

It gets down to a chilly 58F at night. I still have to run the AC during the day >:( Title: Re: Has anyone relocated their miners due to cold weather?

Title: Re: Has anyone relocated their miners due to cold weather? Post by: outsider on January 07, 2014, 01:43:52 PM I've had my two rigs in the garage for a while now.
It's -24deg C (-11deg F) here in toronto, canada today and the rigs are loving it. Fans are running at 20-30% and cards are 75deg C. Title: Re: Has anyone relocated their miners due to cold weather? Post by: sundownz on January 07, 2014, 04:03:47 PM I am moving all of mine out to my external garage; should help alot with consistency. It has it's own climate control but I can just let them chill in the winter :) Just need to get the wiring done in there for 10 computers.

Post by: c789 on January 08, 2014, 05:47:47 AM I had 2x 6970's running last winter, but I sold them in June because even those 2 cards put out too much heat for the summer. They made a 6 degree F difference in a 10x12 room. Now I'm wishing I had kept them for this winter.

Title: Re: Has anyone relocated their miners due to cold weather? Post by: nerdcustoms on January 08, 2014, 03:49:43 PM I keep mine in the garage (11-25 degrees F), if you think it's getting too cold, just overlock :).
Title: Re: Has anyone relocated their miners due to cold weather? Post by: outsider on January 08, 2014, 06:49:38 PM My GPUs (5 x r9 280X and 2 x r9 290X) in the garage overheated the garage in just one night with temperatures around 0degC. I ended up having to put an exhaust and intake ducts into the side of the garage (along with a fan) to circulate outside air through the garage.
2500W drawn from the wall is likely 80-90% turned to heat; that's a pretty strong heater to have running 24/7 in a single car garage. If I'm going to expand, I will have to find some better method to move the heat outside. |
