Title: Milk Crate Overheating? Post by: ibrahim11 on December 30, 2013, 08:40:30 PM Will 2 gpu's (Sapphire 7950 and MSI 280x) overheat in a milk crate? I am asking because building an aluminium rig is too expensive. Thanks

Title: Re: Milk Crate Overheating? Post by: MZD on December 30, 2013, 09:09:25 PM I use half and half myself with my 7870 farm. Haven't had a problem yet.
Title: Re: Milk Crate Overheating? Post by: jborkl on December 30, 2013, 09:13:04 PM I really find goat milk to be much better than cow milk, although cat milk is the best. It is a bitch catching them though
Title: Re: Milk Crate Overheating? Post by: quone17 on December 30, 2013, 09:13:51 PM I'd imagine you should just check it every few hours as it gets going and see if it's ok. I could see milk crates melting so I'd keep an eye on it. Like putting plastic in the microwave...

Post by: Quix on January 02, 2014, 03:48:44 AM You don't need a fancy-smancy aluminum rig, all you need is a bit of wood and some nails. Milk crates are fine too, if you're having an issue you can always cut some holes in them.

Alotogether including the VAT and £10 delivery it was £63 with 1m spare aluminium tubing :D And it was pre-cut so i just have to put it together :D Title: Re: Milk Crate Overheating? Post by: Kluge on January 02, 2014, 01:44:45 PM With the large 3D-printing and BTC community crossover, I'm surprised I've never seen anyone selling printed cases/benches. Are the plastics too soft? -Or would it be cost-prohibitive? (3D printing newb)

Are the plastics too soft? -Or would it be cost-prohibitive? (3D printing newb) I think with the current high cost of plastic filament building something that was sturdy would not be cost effective. If i had access to one I would defiantly try it though ... Title: Re: Milk Crate Overheating? Post by: ProudMiner on January 02, 2014, 03:24:46 PM Maybe something like this
