In order to accommodate the heat issue this summer in my small apartment, I moved all of my rigs and desktop PC into a medium size hydroponics tent. The tent pulls in fresh air from one window and vents it out another window. If there's enough interest I can post an album of the entire setup when I get a chance.
Hardware Info:
- Ten RX 580s
- Six RX 570s
- Six GTX 1060s
- Total hashrate: ~590 Mh/s
Tent Info:
- 3'x3'x6.5' hydroponics tent
- One 8' diameter inline exhaust fan that vents out my window. It moves A LOT of air, around 800 CFM. This thing will legit turn your fingers into a puff of red mist if you're not careful.
- Two 6' diameter intake tubes that pull in air from outside.
Safety is important in a small enclosed space:
- All rigs have a thermal stop limit of 82 degrees C.
- The exhaust fan and network switch operate on the same breaker, so if it flips and the fan turns off the rigs stop mining.
- No SATA risers, only PCIe and non-daisychained Molex.
- WiFi smart outlets so I can cut power remotely if necessary.
