I have a HUGE farm Best way to cool miners indoors?

I have massive hash power in a warehouse and datacenter. I want to know if you guys have any recommendations for cooling. Would air condition be the best option or some premium cooling fans? Let me know what you guys use. Thanks.

(I am going to start offering hash power soon  ;) )

Getting down to -28C here these days.  How about shipping me a few racks?  Cheap electricity, 6c a Kw/h!  ;)

That's cold! I have to keep my equipment here. I'm going to start a cloud mining service soon. Good electricity rate, I'll have to see if I can get a cheaper rate. Right now it's about 7.2 cents/kwH

So curious - if you have a "HUGE" farm now -- then how are you cooling it now?

You've got to get the hot air out.  Pretty simple.  All the fans and air conditioning in the world won't keep it cool unless you exhaust the hot air.

I'm perplexed by this question - as this is the simple part.  Oh and you plan to offer "hash power soon?"  Like "Cloud Mining?"

Things that make you go - hmmmm.

Yeah, hmmm... You see, I bought all these miners and gained access to a warehouse and datacenter that can power them all. I just never considered cooling! And now I'm coming to this forum because this is my best bet to get my farm cooled before it burns down.

There is a time constraint... The datacenter's ambient temperature is now 58 degrees Celsius and rising!

In the OP's defense though, I know some people on this forum are experts in cooling.

LOL

Right now I am simply using air condition with some simple fans as well as leaving doors open. Right now it is cool outside but I need to prepare for the summer.

wowow

it seems who you are very lucky!!

just 6c/kwatt...
just 7.2c/kwatt...

in my country 30cents/kwat!!!!
about 25euro cents...

Yeah... I think you have to decide of a cooling solution pretty soon, before it catches fire... bringing air conditioning would clearly at that point a good option... 
now for cloudminer, you don't really need any hardware at all  ;D

You should've gotten nvidia cards ^^" No idea what you're using right now, but if you've used nvidia, you wouldn't have such problems :P Running at 40°C ATM (ambient is 10°C though :P )

I think that the OP should start with choosing a cooler algo to mine for a while.
Then he will also be less stressed and will have the patience to find the best solution.

stupid question: but why do you want to do cloudmining ?
I mean you are already fully set (hardware, warehouse etc...)
Why in the hell would you want to give away a share of your profit ?
(unless it is highly unprofitable  ;D)

Sorry, but I will have to call that a scam attempt, because it doesn't make any sense.
There is no reason to do cloud mining if you are fully equipped already.
You don't need investors, you just need to run for yourself.
So that sort of generosity in crypto well...   ;D

It sounds a little kooky. 

I mean, say you want to start a "cloud mining" business -- which at this point I've yet to see any particular company prove they have the hardware to backup the hash they sell.

Well the first thing to do is to convince the general community that you have all this hardware -- so much hash -- and you need advice on cooling it all, so that you can start selling shares.  This makes you sound more legitimate. 

But then again it also makes you sound like you have no idea what you are doing and the last thing you should be doing is setting up a huge farm and selling shares of it to people.  Cooling would be the easier part - as far as the brain power needed to design a setup.

at least he has a good excuse to delay payout. "the whole farm just burned"  ;D

people should visit once in a while a data center, just to have an idea how it looks like... (and what a normal operation temp is...)

My opinion is look into hosting not cloud mining.  Cloud mining is just so hard to prove not a scam.   It will be very hard to get your first customers, you will need to take time and get a good name in hosting.

On cooling it's all about airflow you want to have air coming in and going out.  The setup varies GREATLY depending on size of building, amount of machines, and more.  There is just a lot of variables in it. 

you are preparing for summer already?, or you live in sahara, they sould be pretty cool right now

otherwise i saw a guy that has put his gpu down(with the fan down) from the top of two hole(for the two fan , if you have gpu with two fan) in a big thing made of wood

Yeah you just gotta make sure to get some nice air circulation in there. Circulate from outside, don't just push hot air around.
