1 BTU/hr = 0.29307107 W. It does not matter what the application is that consumed the watts and produced heat in the form of BTU/hr.
Thanks for the info. So 5.5-6 tons of cooling if I max the breakers. Cooling ganna cost you a lot, better to just use fan? Fans definitely will not be enough for this much heat. This is more heat then an outdoor gas grill. I should be fine, you can buy used 5 ton cooling units for around $3000. You are completely confused. Don't even think about attempting this. It won't work. You can't AC miners. You must blow the heat into the atmosphere with a fan. If you attempt to use AC, you are going to be stunned how much energy you will consume. It's not engineering, it's physics. Nope not confused. Of course you can AC miners, how do you think large datacenters do it? Fans are not a viable option as Houston has 99F+ degree days with 80%+ Humidity. I may be able to do a hybrid and AC outdoor air to below 80F and pipe it in for the miner intakes the exhaust outside, but that is a lot of ducting. Full blown ACing them still seems like the best option. |

LOL that is too hardcore for a house. |

Geesh with a price like that definitely grab all the mining gear you can. Wouldn't doubt to go with AC cooling then if you can afford the AC units.
If you don't mind me asking, how do you get a price like that?
Moved into a house that had been emptied for a long time and signed a contract for flat rate power, monthly rate is based on the previous 12 months. Basically unlimited power for a flat rate every month. Talking to local transport company about taking my service line from 200A to 400A.  |

Will you accept cash and picked up locally? PM Sent

As others have said, look into fan cooling. If you go the AC route, that'll really cut into your profits by using all that electricity on air conditioning. I'm guessing AC will use about the same amount of power as the miners themselves, or near that.
My power is less then .001 cents per KWH, maybe even cheaper. |

What city are you located in? I can do local pickup and even give you some cash for your trouble.

Would you consider local pickup and paying in cash?

Hi,
Got a question. Building an area of my house to house a dense amount of miners. Going to dedicate about 90A of 220V to the miners and the supporting infrastructure and possible the A/C to cool them. Currently have 4 tons of cooling but that is for the whole house, so I know I will need to dedicate more A/C to the miners. MY question is usually when I build datacenter for traditional uses I estimate 3.5 BTU per watt of power, do miners fall into this same ratio of heat per watt? Since the power supplies are usually from servers/computers I am going to use that ratio on them but any help with heat generation on miners would be helpful.
Normally for datacenters I also do lights, breakers, wiring, etc, but in the case of this room in my house just worried about the computers, miners and the window. The only one I am not sure about is if the miners fall into the 3.5 ratio.
Thanks.

How does the HW error rate look on the one that has something wrong?
